Thank you!

Thank you very much! I'm glad to be of help

Nice! We all gotta start somewhere, just keep at it and you'll be groovy in no time!

Haha. The techniques used in the tutorial are pretty common stuff, so, hopefully, any pixel art software should be able to achieve the effect, even if by different means. In the case that the program you're using doesn't have a way to blur, you can do it manualy by drawing borders around your sprite and said borders in decreasing transparency, it will be a little more work than a normal blur tool, but it will achieve the exact same thing. Hopefully you can find a way!

@@WarsVault Also what if I'm trying to keep it glowing and the object I want to glow is shaded

@@McGoomba So, what you do is, you ignore the part about the second layer in the tutorial and simply create the "Flash" layer with the shape blurred and then put that layer behind the layer in which the shaded object resides. So the blurred glow will spill out of the sides by being behind the shaded object.

Glad to have been of help!

You are correct. I'm glad to have been of help!

I can't say for sure, but, as Libresprite is an older version of Aseprite, it might work.

@@WarsVault alright, I'll see what I can do there, have a good one

Nice! I'm glad!

Thank you! I appreciate it.

I didn't quite understand your comment. What do you mean?

That's weird, I suggest you follow the tutorial again closely, as inverting colours is only achievable by using the negative setting in the convolution matrix menu (F9), which is something that does not happen in the tutorial. Also, make sure you have "Selected' instead of "All" in the convolution matrix menu, to make sure you're only changing the current layer. Good luck!

@@WarsVault perfect. It was exactly that. I didn't have Selected it was All. Thank you :)

@@TheHomelessNinja Great! I'm happy it worked out!

Thank you so much!

Kind of, instead of making them trasnparent, you're bluring them, giving them a gradient of colour and transparency at the same time, that, combined with a bright opaque center, leads to a neon effect.

Thank you, good luck on your journey!

Oh, I did not know this, glad you figured it out!

Thanks you so much!

Thank you! Yeah, I'll definetly go into it in the future. I usually try not to get too technical in these devlogs, but I'll make an exception.

Thank you! Hopefully, one day, you'll get to play it!

I'm glad to be o help!

Yes.

@@WarsVault aeee sabia heh

I will, thank you for the support!

Thank you! I hope I can get it out this year so you can see for yourself!

Better put, the blur doesn't seem to go outside the lines of the object for me

@@chillwithmoose Hm, if the blur doesn't go outside the lines, it could be that there is a selection, make sure nothing is selected when you blur.

@@WarsVault That fixed it, you got a sub for sure bud!

@@chillwithmoose I'm glad it worked out!

Thank you! Would you say that the running animation is too slow compared to the speed of the character or too fast?

Thanks for the feedback, although I disagree.

Thank you! The main character's name is Faus.

Thank you!
