Wow. 50k views you guys are CRAZY!
If you’re just now seeing this video and are interested in farming, simulation, and adventure games like Stardew Valley, Slime Rancher, and even Pokémon you should definitely check out what I’m doing now it would mean the world to me❤️
what programing software did you use to make your game?
Real devs: *How aseprite saved my game*
Me: *How MS Paint saved my game*
The struggle be like that
*Oof haha!*
Me: How **Unity's particle system** saved my game
How paint.net saved my sprites and I suck at coding
If ur poor like me, then do sprite sheets in paint.net, it´s a bit harder but still pretty fun
*"Asperite with dark theme makes me better at art"* that's a true developer right there!
Dark theme makes it easier for our eyes when we are hacking away in our basement dwelling caves :p
Tantan MY EYYYEEEESSS
Anything with Dark Mode makes it better
So am I the only one who liked both light and dark themes?
@@vychryzchespfkrekxextulot4656 its not that we dont like light themes, we prefer darker colors cause our eyes hurt less from hours of looking on dark colors than looking on light ones
Personaly, I just turn lights on
You really have to find out how to hue shift to seriously bring your art to the next level. It looks good now but with proper colors it'd look great.
I’d recommend checking out my more recent devlogs, I’ve been working on my colors a lot more especially with my new town I added to my game!
@@Fairlii check out marco bucci's color videos. Did wonders for me.
I enjoyed hearing your journey in art! Keep it up! 👍
Thank you so much!
Cool video! I like the character animations. The jump and fall animation and the idle. Good attention to detail.
I found out about aseprite right after I finished my first game. Never actually got to use it much but it looks like a great tool. Your video production is getting really good. I'm super jealous!
Thank you so much! It takes me ages to edit a video now but it looks a lot more professional
I love how your game evolved so much
Thank you! I know it’s changed a lot
Thank you so much for the shoutout man!
awesome content
MisterTracks Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed!
Noww I get why Aseprite is such a great tool for creators! :D Also glad that it saved your game ;)
I’m glad you watch my videos!
Thanks for this video I was looking for a sprite maker too but thanks to you I found one keep up the great work.
Thank you!
Np
I’ve wanted to get into pixel art for a while now, I’m glad I saw this!
It’s always worth a shot!
It takes a really long time to learn. But if you practice enough you can do what you want!
I found u through Jake McNeal if I remember name correctly lol I instantly subscribed cause of your awesome work on Luna. Im also a indie dev(just starting back tbh) and I believe in supporting each other
I love supporting other devs!
*Ignores Steam Profile Picture* :D This is great Fairlii! It's great to hear that Aseprite made your games and art better! I don't use Asperite, but still the tips are nice.
YOU WERENT SUPPOSED TO SEE THAT
And thank you so much I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Sorry about not commenting on your content lately I’m slowly getting around to everyone’s devlogs and I’ve been busy
@@Fairlii Haha, and don't worry about it :)
I use SAI2 for my pixelart at the moment, and when I'm bored I use MS Paint -
But this makes me consider getting Aseprite even if I do pixelart for non-game development purposes!
You've improved a lot, you should thank yourself a bit more for that :D
Frostbite The Bat thank you so much that makes me happy to hear!
Bro, your way better than me with aseprite and you with piskel. You were and are really good.
Thank you so much! That truly means a lot.
This video really makes me want to pick up aesprite. I’ve had it for almost a year now but I haven’t made the time to learn it. Hopefully in the future I can use it effectively.
1:57 that is some dope flipnote art
Aw heck yeah
I literally have never done this so this was v encouraging and I'm gonna do it!
I’m glad it was encouraging!
1,349 hours at this moment and I listen to your video while drawing in Aseprite :D
Wow!
I hope you are all having an awesome day today! I felt like I might get a cold yesterday(which I do have one now) so I spent just about all day editing this so you guys have a video to watch! This is pretty different from my normal devlogs but I want to give you more varied content! What did you think? And do you have any other ideas for videos I should do?
a poor carpenter blames his tools
Mr.Lominoss that is true, but the point of the video wasn’t to blame anything, it was just to correlate my love for a program to my excitement and learning pixel art. It’s more of an overblown situation for the sake of an entertaining video.
I don’t have enough money to buy you Aseprite. You can compile it yourself for free though, google Aseprite compile
did piskel give you a virus?
Yeesss new video!
Aw yeah
Eh no, Aseprite wasn't who saved your game
It was you. You could have chosen another another pixel art program, but you chose your art-style (and got some help lol), something that a program like Aseprite couldn't have done for you.
Edit: 30 likes wth
Very true, and thank you for the encouragement! But for the sake of the video I wanted to say that in a way it did!
Fortnite
@@horsewater4140 no
I use piskel and once you master the hot keys it’s actually pretty smooth
Wow thanks for making this dude! Great content. Love to see my tool decisions validated lmao. I JUST WISH THEY MADE AN ANDROID VERSION of Aseprite :(
If you end up getting a PC it’s definitely awesome!
@@Fairlii oh I do have a pc and use Aseprite on it, just wish I could work on my projects from my tablet too lol because I'm lazy
Ahhh hahah understand
"whoaaa"
I imagined post Malone's face when you said that lmao
Oh gosh lol
Damn, this is weird. I've watched a few different vids on pixel art and aseprite and talked to a few people in different forums and none really convinced me to invest on Aseprite just yet. But watching this video...
I now realize why I should definitely buy it. The same reason why, when buying my electric guitar, I bought an Ibanez instead of another beginner's Stratocaster or Les Paul. One inspired me to play, the other ones didn't as much.
Looking at the UI of Aseprite, I can see why it can do the same to others. That beautiful UI begs you to go ahead and do some 8 bit fuckery on it. Everything is set up right to get you in the mood. That's exactly what keeps Aseprite ahead of Marmoset Hexels, Pro Motion and Pixelorama.
I'm sold. Thank you for this. Otherwise idk how long it would've taken me to realize
Wow, thank you for this beautifully written comment. Aseprite clicked something in my head that immediately pushed me to buy it and work on pixel art consistently which I couldn’t ever see myself doing before. Thank you for watching I’m glad my video inspired you!
@@Fairlii Cheers dude 😄 Keep up with the good content!
Ibanez and aseprite gang rise up
good job mate
Thank you!
I’ve been thinking about using aesprite but I’ve been using gamemaker studio 1.x’s and gamemaker 8 sprite editor since I started. I think it’s perfect and doesn’t have any extra buttons in the way from me and the pixel art. Same reason photoshop felt weird to you is the same way I feel about it aswell. I’m going to try aesprite.
Aseprite is awesome! I think it has a little something for everyone
That aseprite logo cured my depression uwu
Love
awesome story.
I have been trying to making pixelart, but my characters are very basic and mostly front view. I struggle to do side veiw and I do mainly items. Any tips? I was using a small sprite it was like 20 by 20 so maybe that didn't help.
My characters are normally 16x32 and the perspective issue plagued me for so long, almost half a year. I looked at a lot of different designs from games I enjoy and sort of smashed all those different techniques together
Nice,hello from Brazil.
Hi Brazil
What's the canvas size to make the tiled mode ?😁
I've used both Aesprite and Piskel and whilst Aesprite is really good, I generally only use it when I need to use the tag feature to organize animations. I still use Piskel when I need to make something small or I will use Pyxel Edit (which is amazing) when I need to make a tileset.
Same here!
looking good fam, what software do you make games in?
This video I was using Construct, but I’ve since then move to Unity!
@@Fairlii nice, I'm using Clickteam Fusion 2.5 haha. it's actually really good if you suck at coding like I do.
Hey! Nice video and very useful tips! Thanks, and idk if i’m stupid and missed you saying it or you haven’t say it but how much does it cost to buy and/or use aseprite
It is 20$ but you can sometimes find it on sale(I got it for 12$) You can also compile it to get it for free but you’d have to google how to do that. Hope this helps!
Fairlii thx!
Art tip: use a colour palette (or learn colour theory) and don’t forget to hue shift to blue, and decrease saturation for shading (for the ambient light)
Your art looks great already but these two things will add instant improvement to why not try it out?
Thanks for the tip! Keep an eye out for my latest video!
What engine you using for your game? I'm making my first platformer and was wondering what a good engine was to use as a starting ground
I was using construct but I’ve now switched to unity
Yo which is better cracked aseprite or cracked adobe photopshop cc?
I mean, as basic as piskel may be, it's admirable that nearly every single pixel artist started there, and how it's a free, ad free, online, and relatively good pixel art editor that's good for beginners.
That is very true, but in my personal use I only used it when I had to, and pixel art felt like a chore. But it is a pretty decent program
@@Fairlii You're definitely right about that, I've been using Piskel so far, and I can definitely back you up on that, It is kind of a chore, luckily, I do enjoy the programming quite a bit, and will probably, definitely get Aseprite in the future. Probably near future, people have nothing bad to say about it it seems!
I was expecting you to talk about the fact that aseprite has a feature that keeps a saved file of your art even if you dont save, BUT GOOOOD SHITT BROOOOO!
OMG YES THAT FEATURE HAS SAVED MY TILESETS BEFORE WHEN MY PC HAS CRASHED
@@Fairlii GOOOD STUFFF !!!
i experienced the same thing, but actually tried to learn piskel and when I bought Aseprite, I was pretty confused with the hotkeys, because I was used to the ones from piskel.
Ah yes aseprite got to love it
Aw heck yeah you do
I mainly use Pyxel Edit, mainly because it was the one I got first and I work well with it. It shares some of the features, but outlining is definitely way harder in Pyxel than in Aseprite. I was actually astounded at how easy it was in aseprite.
Aseprite is such a lovely program!
I’ve been using pistol for a while and I’ve been feeling unmotivated just the same as you so I’m most likely gonna get aseptite
very nice
Thank you so much!
Art is very simple yet so hard.
If the Artist doesn't enjoy creating it then it won't come out well.
Comfortable tools are just as important as the will to create something.
His would be a perfect sponsored video
YO LOL
I CAN RELATE TO EVERYTHING IN THIS VIDEO! I USED PISKEL BEFORE TOO AND NOW I USE ASEPRITE LOL
Nice! Haha
If you come across pixel boo it's and you need to censor them, do you pixelate them even more?
The question that can never be answered
Aseprite just feels friendly. everything looks nice, and it's absurdly easy to use
4:26 My guy be turning into a salesman
I will try aseprite when I have the time, it seems nice to work with
I find it very enjoyable!
Good too know and what a fast comment (never happens not that I comment a lot) +1 sub btw
I like being friends with all my viewers haha, and thank you so much that means a lot!
i'm 100% getting Aseprite when i got the MANEY (early LL looks like a horror game) xD
Pupa Productions yeah it definitely was a little bit eeerie
If you compile it on your own its free
I read the title as "How aseprite saved my life" thought this would be emotional :p
law sen lol that would be a CRAZY video
@@Fairlii Yeah you'd have said smthn like "I lost my family in a car accident, found no purpose in life, until I started pixel art."
@@lawsen3719 replace "pixel art" to "praising the lord" and boom, you've got a christian movie.
This is so weird, because I feel the same with aseprite, I started using it like 4 months ago and I wouldn't believe that the last things I've been drawing were actually mine, I started with very weird techniques, trying to figure out how to do different things and just... it happened and now I'm quite happy with the work I've done so far. Also I'm working on a videogame too, but I'm not the artist, I focus on programming, a friend I met on a pixel art discord server does the art, I just do pixel art as a hobby when I'm not programming.
I’m glad you’ve had an experience like me with learning art! And I’m also glad your friend you met is helping you out! If you ever have any news on the project I’d love to know about it!!!
Wait why does asprite have a steam page isnt steam for games????? (I have asprite and I didn’t know about it)
Steam also has some software on it
Was hoping to hear why/how Aseprite in particular is so distinctly good compared to other programs, not just a feeling that it is so good followed up with some tips. Perhaps a feature that is unique to Aseprite, as surely it isn't just the name that appeals. I'd choose Pixelorama if based on name alone. I switched from Pixelorama from Aseprite because the Rotate tool was simpler and more straightforward with Aseprite, and now I'm having to weigh what is distinct about Pixelorama, such as instantly being able to keybind left and right click to different tools, with what is distinct about Aseprite.
I think you should pick which one you like the most and is easiest for you to use, it's all personal preference
Does you video contain a promotion?..... for Aseprite? lol Nice Video.
I wish! I’d endorse Aseprite every day
I literally just compiled Aseprite and started using it under a week ago, and before that I was using Piskel...
Well, piskel has tiled mode too
I’ve been using piskel for just over a year and I have yet to switch to asprite... I wonder if I will someday (the reason is piskel has all I need right now and I don’t wanna use a paid program yet, I might though.)
Aseprite is fairly cheap, you should download the free demo of it just to try it!
Fairlii Sure, I will!
Safe search is important sometimes
GraphicsGale is also good but quite complicated with it's transparency options, there are even more options that nobody uses in GraphicsGale like creating tiles and pens.
Btw, for people who don't have any money and want to do some pixel art, try graphics Gale, as it's free and is one of the oldest tools for pixel art
Question, I notice how at around 5:57 there's rotating pixel art, now how in the hell do you achieve that? Is it just a feature in Aseprite? Nowhere can I find the answer to this question :/
I rotated the sprite in my game engine
@@Fairlii Wow fast reply haha, thanks man!
Aseprite does have an awesome rotation feature as well though!
@@Fairlii Really? Aseprite really has it all..
Noted :)
Him: How aseprite saved my game
Me: How pirated phtoshop saved my game
Naughty naughty!
Based.
this is literally me except with music instead of art
You use Aseprite for Music? Nice.
What music DAW?
@@bence0302bence no, I use goats for my music
@@His-Games hmmm
I use Piskel for my pixel art... what a coincidence... I guess piskel is more well known than I thought
How was i not subbed to you already.
Shame on you techstack to think I watched all your streams!
@@Fairlii I blame TH-cam for not telling me you did videos too!
I didnt know aseprite was on steam??? I only knew about the standalone exe. I grabbed it on sale cause of this vid lol. Finally sold it to me. I always preferred photoshop, but there are certain things only aseprite has so
oh also im glad you are having fun making art, and able to see your own improvements!
Thank you! I love improving!
Oof tiled mode ☺this is great
I actually made some pretty good looking art on piskel
I actually found this video because piskel has a size limit to its files and I have to change software lol
Aseprite is a good choice!
I hope this happens to me.
At the moment I can barely draw a super simple coin 🤣
You got this
I think the reason Aseprite motivated you was because of the UI (For me at least lol)
The UI and design in Aseprite makes it look like your playing a video game instead of drawing/working, and yeah as you said it's more fun that way and seems less like a chore
Little tip you can get aseprite for free and legally you just got to head over to the github page and compile it. Its a little difficult at first if this is your first time compiling but there are many youtube videos on how to do it
Yes you can, I just recommend paying to support the developer!
@@Fairlii that is true also thanks for commenting
I always use piskel 👀
Asesprite tip:
no need to deliberately make animations in sprite sheets, make animation through the built-in animator, and export as a sprite sheet.
Quick question for Fairlii
do you like asperite
Hmmmmmm UHHHHHHHHHH yeah a little
Try paint.net it has alot of effects and plugins. I am using it for Minecraft texturepacks and i am posting updates on reddit. Over 1000 people waiting for a release
there’s always videos of programmers who can’t make art but never videos for us artists who can’t program 😓
I can’t do either!
urghhhh the mixels are killing me
Yeahhhh I wasn't the best pixel art around this time
@@Fairlii i didin't even notice this was a 3 yr old video lmao
Your handwriting is lovely ... If I had the same ...
Definitely not lovely but that you for the compliment!
@@Fairlii Do you want a picture of my handwriting as proof x') ?
Skymer I never turn down a good picture
@@Fairlii ibb.co/PmtGdjS Nice looking isn't it ?
aseprite is the best investment ive ver made
It’s a very good purchase
I try so hard to make decent pixel art but i just can't.. ;-;
The struggle really be like that
At first this sounded very stupid because I already knew that every tool is only as good as its user.
But then I learnt that a good tool can actually help make the user much better.
Inspiring a user and enabling them to do things efficiently can be key in creating passion, which elevates how fast the user learns and how productive they are!
Aseprite can be legally downloaded for free from gihub if you want to go through the trouble of compiling it
Yes piskel good
i have the opposite problem, i dont know how to code but i know how to draw
Oh man, just keep practicing!
I use Piskel
JAR JAR BINKS?
Star war
You can get Asprite for free If you can compile and install their source code from their GitHub.
I own and love aseprite, but it is just the "pixel" portion of PS tbh. PS has all of these features, plus is PhotoShop...
Yeah, but aseprite costs 15 bucks. And I think you are even allowed to use it for free, if you build it from source. Not 100% sure on the licensing there. Maybe you need to buy it for commercial projects.
Anyways, what does PS cost again?
I just watched a 10 minutes ad for a pixel art program, what am I doing with my life.
I hope it was a good time
“I felt like the video was too short” video is 10:20 afterward 🤭
Yeah...sometimes I sell myself short
Me: *is bad at pixel art*
Me, after getting Aseprite: *is still bad at pixel art*
The feels
I thought it was a sponsored video ^-^
I wish it was
im 11 i dont have paypal
i wish i culd buy this
Are you on discord I have years of pixel art references if you’re interested.
There is a link to my discord server in the description!
