Comment on Pixen: Out with old, in with the nu by Foster

LOVE this program, but it’s slightly buggy on the newer versions of OSX (10.6.8), and I’m using 3.0! The newest version was unuseable. PLEASE finish remaking this! Me and people I know would pay for this program (something reasonable, 5 or 10$?)! Please!

I LOVE Pixen and I plan on using it for one of my upcoming school projects. Thank you so much!

I would definitely pay or donate to Pixen too. Maybe you could start a kickstarter project? There is just no alternative.

I’d donate towards Pixen’s completion/a stable release (or gladly pay for a full retail version). OSX needs a good pixel editor with palette handling, tiling previews, and animation. Are you still planning on mussing with the old girl?

Stumbled upon this post by accident and am very excited. Pixel was my favourite app back in the 10.4 days and I just started using it again only to find bugs and stability issues have gotten in the way of using it much.

Full support on re-writting. This is a fantastic app that fills a great niche. There is nothing else to replace it. I’m no developer but anything I’d be happy to do some testing etc.

Wow, good for you!

Ian, Joe, and I were just talking about how sorry we were that the community Pixen didn’t go anywhere, but we must have missed your fork. To be frank, we’re not surprised: the code is both complex and terrible. It suffered from being a 10.1-era project (so tons of it is just totally unnecessary) and from being our first major project.

I sort of want to throw it all out and start over, but I know that’s never gonna happen. I know Ian had some pretty sexy backend code going for a new tile-based CG model + renderer. I’ll ask him if he’ll post it on Github or something in case anyone decides to do something fancy.

Keep it going, dude. The Mac still need a decent pixel editor.

Great to hear – I’ve looked at it a couple of times myself. After modernization and cleanup, where do you plan to take Pixen?

Cheers,

Stu

Hi Jon,

I am glad to hear about your parenthood
Pixen is a great piece of software and I use it rather frequently.

Good luck with your efforts.
