[Archives] Gamedev Tools – “Paint of Persia” First Impressions
Archives, Art, Game Development, ReviewPaint of Persia is an interesting pixel art rotoscoping pixel art tool I came across recently, and it looked interesting. Animating is one of my least favorite tasks, and while I don’t particularly like rotoscoped styles, I can appreciate it.
There are a wide variety of uses for a tool like this, ranging from simply wanting a game with a rotoscoped style, to wanting to draw over reference easier.

[Archives] AutoTileGen Review – Automatic Tilemap Generation for Games
Archives, Art, Game Development, ReviewI’m a pixel artist and a game developer, but I hate making tilemaps. To me, it’s just tedium – making the same image over and over with little tweaks for corners and edges. And SO many combinations of corners and edges.
So when I heard there was a tool that would automatically create an entire tilemap from as little as just three images, I knew I had to try it.
AutoTileGen lets you create a game-ready tilemap from just three images.
All you need is a single tileable texture, a “cap and bottom” image, and a “sides” image. If you want a background included in your tilemap, that’s a very simple forth image. AutoTileGen then does all the tedious work for you!

Create 3d models and environments with tiles. Typically tiles are used from 2d tilemaps to construct flat scenes, but Crocotile 3d adds another dimension.
[Archives] Free Windows 10 Touchscreen App for Artists – Tablet Pro
Archives, Art, Game Development, ReviewWhen I use my Surface Pro for art, I can’t or don’t always want to flip my keyboard out. Maybe I don’t have room, maybe I’m drawing on my lap, or maybe I just don’t want a keyboard in the way of my screen while I draw. This leaves me unable to use keyboard shortcuts, and while some programs (like Photoshop CC) have gesture controls for common shortcuts, most programs don’t.
I’ve been searching for a macro program, where I can program buttons on my touch screen to perform keyboard shortcuts. After a few months of searching, I found a program called Tablet Pro that does just that, and it’s completely customizable. Here’s my review:
