I’m looking for a good sprite/pixel editor for desktop Linux. I don’t mind shelling out some money for the right tool.

Sprite organization is the key feature Animation support is a must Artistic lighting effects and such would be nice Compatibility with godot and unity is a plus

What are you using for sprite making/organization on linux? What other features do you find useful/essential?

Thanks!

      The steam version works just fine too, if someone is using it. I love this program. Use it in conjunction with krita.

      Seconded. Aseprite is incredible, and has generally become the main tool I make game assets in.

    As mentioned Aseprite has a linux build.

    Pixelorama is very similar to Aseprite, but has free builds. Is built with Godot and is open source.

    It looks like Aseprite can export a texture atlas, but I haven’t seen the ability to do so in Pixelorama.

    For lighting effects there’s an application called Sprite Lamp (also has a linux build) that’s been around for a long time. I haven’t used this one though.

    I haven’t done any of these workflows in awhile but I hope that this helps.

      This is good, I prefer free-as-in-freedom even if I have to pay license fees. Is there a side by side feature comparison between libresprite and asesprite? Is libre missing anything super useful?

        No idea. I have t noticed anything but I’m by no means a power user
