PixelAOI early release
One pixel-art loop: cel animation, tilemaps, hitboxes, node effects, and engine exports.
PixelAOI is a new pixel-art editor built specifically for game work, and its best idea is the live Godot link: brush strokes and frame edits push into a running project as you draw. Around that it packs cel animation, tilemaps, hitbox editing, node-based effects, optional AI generation, and native exports for Godot, Unity, Unreal Paper2D, Spine, and Tiled, plus GIFs and sprite sheets. It's in development and Windows-only for now, with macOS and Linux planned, and the build isn't code-signed yet, so expect a security prompt on first launch. Free for six months while it matures, then $17 one-time.
PixelAOI
Best for 2D devs who want animation, hitboxes, and exports in one loop with a live line into Godot.
