Pixelorama

Encontrei esta ferramenta que permite desenhar no formato de “pixels”. É uma ferramenta de uso gratuito e que foi desenvolvida com a ajuda do software Godot.

Ainda não testei, mas parece ser uma ferramenta bastante simples de se usar, mas com todas as funcionalidades para quem pretende usar a estratégia de “pixéis” para gerar o grafismo/sprites 2D para um videojogo.
