    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"

  • Automating sprite packing and flipbook creation in Unreal Engine (Aseprite + TexturePacker + Unreal)
    2 projects | /r/unrealengine | 9 Dec 2023
    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.

  • Why is this happening??? Whenever I paste an image into Aseprite the colors change to purple
    1 project | /r/aseprite | 15 Nov 2023
    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!
  • 3D object with animated texture from Blender to Godot -- has anyone gotten this working?
    1 project | /r/godot | 26 Sep 2023
    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.
  • Paint on Windows is getting layers and transparency support
    5 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 18 Sep 2023
    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].
