It seems Godot Engine is good for more than making games, as the FOSS pixel art tool Pixelorama will show you. Only a few days ago, this impressive application had a big new update bringing in a new UI, options for each tool, a colour picker tool, rulers and guides, a mini-canvas preview area, a preferences window and a Greek localization.

It really is coming along nicely, hopefully by us sharing this more artists out there might find a tool they love to use. Since it's cross-platform too, thanks to the power of Godot Engine you can use it on your platform of choice.
You can see a video of it in action below with their feature highlights in 0.5:

Make it compatible with Gimp filters and plugins and you will have a winner. Right now it looks so basic I think I'll stick with Gimp, I've been using it for 20 years and it's a wonderful tool for pixel art.

Ooh, I'll keep this in my back pocket. I'm into vectors right now, but I always come back to pixel art eventually :B

Now i need something like this for Android. Now i use Medibang Paint but it's proprietary and not flexible enough.

This reminds me a lot of Deluxe Paint 4 on the Amiga. They had the functionality of drawing while the animation was playing.
I'm really curious what UI they're using. I wasn't aware that game engines would make UI design easy (well easier than a dedicated UI toolkit).

Godot generally has a really good GUI system - the Godot editor itself is built with it.

Godot should export to Android too, so there's a chance this could have such a version, no?

Cool.
Heard about Commodore enthusiasts , did not know Amiga had a community as well.
I actually like the x1000 but i don't have a spare organ to sell to buy one of those.

I've been having a daily routine of refreshing the store pages for the Vampire V2 for a while now (managed to put one in the shop's basket at one point, but it was already sold by the time I clicked "purchase"). For now, I've had to settle for an iRIX Labs Classic 520.
Any tips for snatching a V2?

I got mine from these guys. https://www.amedia-computer.com/en/15-amiga They posted on Facebook to get on a pre-order list for when they were available.
