From the perspective of a game developer, Aseprite for pixel art is essential for a few reasons. - It is lightweight and has almost no overhead, unlike full-featured programs like photoshop. You can switch between creating art and developing almost instantly. - It is highly customizable, with extremely good hotkey options. Saves me a ton of time. - It has incredible animation and layer systems. - It has been around for a long time, so everything is well documented in any form you need to learn If you are a game developer making pixel art, this program can save you hours every week if you customize it to your workflow. Absolutely worth every dollar!

Pretty decent software, very useful for the few times I used it. Sometimes doing large actions can lead to crashes and visual bugs even with decent hardware. But considering most pixel artists do work on a 16x16 canvas it should be fine.

I'm here to buy dev a coffee. Spent 200+ hrs taking a bite: it's powerful and light enough AND OPEN-SOURCED (let's not talk about the royal pain in compilation). A handy army knife which helps you directly dive into the world of pixel art without any bloating issues - launch and paint whenever you want (also possible to shoehorn it into your unity/godot workflows).

So, it looks like I have a lot of hours, but a large part of is just that i leave it open. Still, a fair few bit is genuine use. It's really the gold standard for pixelart animation. Through the thousands of hours, i've found use for pretty much every tool. All super useful, and a bunch of plugins available too. If the 20$ pricetag is a bit too much, check out graphicsgale, but you really don't need anything other than this. It's great. Also has constant updates, most of which are useful.
