Collection of PixelArtTools and Resources
Programming games with Pixel art feels like the easiest approach for a developer that is not too deep into art in general. While there is a ton to know about pixel art it still feels like I could handle it with a little more time ^^
Here are some tools and a few assets I kept in mind.
