Install Unity Hub from Unity's official website.

Sooo. Unity. It's a 3D game engine created by a company of the same name. It was published in 2005 and is one of the most used game engines in the world due to its simplicity, the number of documents, and the easy way to publish games on all platforms.

Unity is a popular game engine and development platform that is widely used for creating games, as well as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) applications. It provides a comprehensive set of tools, libraries, and features that enable developers to build interactive and immersive experiences across various platforms.

Creating 3D Videos: After downloading the desired models, you can import them into 3D software like Unity or Unreal Engine. These platforms allow you to create 3D scenes and animations, which can be exported as video files.

The next step I need help with is finding the right platform to market myself on. I’ve already been recommended Unity and Yahaha. Any guidance related to these will be appreciated, and if you have experience or recommendations for similar platforms, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Also, if you really want to make a game, you could try learning C# (it's very similar to Java) and use https://unity.com/ (Unity 3D is free if you have less than $100K of revenue/funding within the past 12 months).

Aseprite is free if you compile it yourself [0], and can still be used for commercial purposes if compiled this way [1]. But I recommend buying it anyway to support the project.

Nitpick: Aseprite is source-available, not open source by the Open Source Initiative's definition. From the Aseprite EULA [1]:

> (g) Source code.

> You may only compile and modify the source code of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT for your own personal purpose or to propose a contribution to the SOFTWARE PRODUCT.

The OSI's definition of open source [2] requires distribution of unmodified and modified copies (with the exception of lone, unmodified copies; I read somewhere that writing a hello world program is a workaround):

> 1. Free Redistribution

> The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several different sources. The license shall not require a royalty or other fee for such sale.

...

> 3. Derived Works

> The license must allow modifications and derived works, and must allow them to be distributed under the same terms as the license of the original software.

"free software" is ambiguous to English speakers/writers, but "open source" is ambiguous in its own way.

That's not because you didn't know about it that it is a "new trend"

It's nothing new, and also exist in the tooling side of things

This is specifically targeted for Aseperite users, and also makes use of a great tool called TexturePacker by CodeAndWeb. Andreas from CodeAndWeb always helps me out when I email them, and the software itself is awesome, so I figured I'd give it a boost.

Are you on macOS? There is a known issue that we've just fixed and released a new version with the fix today as v1.3-rc7 (we're going to publish some release notes in the following days).

I'd never used Aseprite before, but it was luckily pretty straightforward to copy and paste and slightly edit the knight into a little spritesheet!

I modeled this simple computer in Blender and used the Pribambase plugin to create an animated texture for it with aseprite. I keyframed the animation in Blender and it works perfectly there.

One of my favorite "MS Paint" clones is KolourPaint[1]. I've been using it for over a decade (you have to search around to get it on non-linux platforms but I presently have it on MacOS). One of my favorite features is how it handles transparency, where it's just treated like another "color".

If anyone is heavy into pixel art, you may also be interested in Aseprite[2].
