Adding more tools right in Pixel Composer. This one should help keep a consistent palette when mixing colors, something that I admittedly do a lot when drawing sprites.
Recreating Etérea art deco pattern.
What is Pixel Composer anyway? Half of the time I draw pixel art, and the other half I rebuilding other people's Substance designer projects.

Pixel Composer 1.16 introduces new dynamic surface, a surface with custom rendering function.

Still preparing for a stable release. But well, one more feature wouldn't hurt.

A lot of people understandably thought Pixel Composer is made with Godot. It's actually made with GameMaker.
I've been using GM since 2012 and I'm just very comfortable with the engine. That also means I have to write the entire UI system from scratch.
