Hi everybody, because i want to make some unique sprite sheets & tileset i have tried out several software out there, but each software has its pro & cons
So i want to open this topic to talk about these Software & what they're lacking of
* Photoshop:
Pro:
- Well, almighty software for drawing/ editing Sprites
Cons:
- Unless you're an artist, i doubt you can make great sprites from scratch. Also alignments/ animation testing is not comfortable for making big sprite sheet such as
RPG MV Sideview battler
* Spriter:
Pro:
- Free version available.
- There are Bone/ Keyframe system, good for animation
Cons:
- Doesn't have graphic editing function
- Bugs here & there
* Anime Studio:
- Awesome animation software
Cons:
- Expensive
- I doubt it supports Pixel Graphic
- Not a good choice especially on working with low frame rate sprites
* Spine
Pro:
- Nice UI
- Same to Spriter but better
Cons:
- Not free
- I didn't test this software long enough
* PyxelS
Pro:
- Simple to use
- UI similar to Photoshop
- Seems great for Tileset creating, but not very good on Sprites
- Cheap, only $9 now
Cons:
- Beta, may be there is bugs
GraphicGale?
Pro:
- Free!!!
Cons:
- Not really sure what is it name
- Complex to use, UI not nice, too basic
- Seem not a good choice
What Functions a Sprite Making Software should have? Especially for RPG Maker MV
- Exporting in RPG MV default format?
- Few Samples?
- Extract useable resource from another image (lol))
How about you? What is your mind?

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
