There's definitely room for an actually FOSS pixel art editor imo. But everyone who makes one wants to sell it for walking around money on itch.io.
It doesn't matter to everyone but it does move the needle for a subset of people. I love to read my tools' source and fork/hack on/contribute to them.

- whateveracct 2y agowow - thanks for the tip! this looks very cool
- flinkerflitzer 2y agoI hear you, but I think people often overlook that developers have practical considerations to take into account. I've gone full tilt with Stipple Effect this whole year, and I have living expenses to consider. I also don't see how the license prohibits you from doing what you expressed, though that may be an oversight on my part. I'm happy to be educated or listen to what specific concerns you have about how the license or distribution model limits what you would hope to get out of the program.
- moomin 2y agoEveryone loves open source, but they pay for commercial products. You deserve to be paid for your work and your product.
- whateveracct 2y agoNothing wrong with making paid software! There's definitely a market for it and I wish you well. I'm just niche and not in your market :D
- flinkerflitzer 2y agoFair enough; thanks for giving me something to think about!
