Dear Friends of Pixelmash,
We’re happy to announce that Pixelmash 1.1 has been released, and is a free update for everyone who has purchased Pixelmash! Get the update wherever you purchased Pixelmash originally: via the Mac App Store, Steam, or the Nevercenter website. Additionally, the trial period has been reset for those who have not yet purchased.
You can watch an all-new 30-minute full walkthrough of Pixelmash 1.1 at youtu.be/1VLRAIoRbsY
This is a gigantic update. Some of the new features in Pixelmash 1.1 include:
- Completely rewritten keyframe-based animation system
- Easy option for per-frame images on any layer, for hand-drawn frame-by-frame animation
- New preview window to see your animation running while you work on a frame (also great for 1:1 or 2:1 previews on stills)
- Animated components are now chosen per-layer rather than per-project
- Easier access to creating layers at the document’s pixelized resolution
- Layers now display their native resolution in the layers window
- New onion skin options for coloring and number of frames
- Dramatically increased performance when drawing with onion skinning
- Improved resolution baking options
