Confession time. All the graphics in Banana Bash / Saru Kani Panic were made in Dpaint animator via Dosbox, then optimized in Nes Screen Tool.. I've been using it for so long, (30+ years) my mouse motor memory won't let me use anything else at a decent speed! 👴 #nesdev #nes #famicom #pixelart - ThreadSky

No shame in using what works for you!

It's like those electronica producers that still use Atari ST's, IDK lol

Run with it! This actually looks like a blast to use! I use Photoshop (definitely not the most efficient for pixelart either 😅)

EITHER?? Dpaint is THE original pixel art tool! I'd say any western made SNES or Genesis game had DP in their toolchain, it was for me, including GBA era!

I had a job interview back in the early 2000's where I was supposed to do a pixel art test in PS, I refused.. (got the job anyways lol)

You are making me want to try out this now... it looks like a dream to use. Very simple, designed specifically for our use cases (me being a GB dev)

I don't recommend it! I'd say there's much better and more streamlined tools to use! , but hey, give it a try!
