TIP #11 - Double Click an area to select a section of the the grid. This is based on the size of the grid but I constantly use it when making tilesets :)

[@AdamTheCoop1]

I constantly use it by mistake, I gave your game a wishlist- i've been heavy into these types of games lately and this looks good

funny how he thinks his name is "Pen-usb-mic", when it obviously just is "Penus" with some random letters attached

[@Penusbmic]

😂😂😂 this is so true

[@dchamp296412]

This comment made me lol. But forreal your content is pure gold. Thank you for taking the time to do these

[@MrAsk33]

This should be the official intro to Aseprite animation. Thank you for making this 🙏

[@Penusbmic]

Thank you! means a lot to me :)

[@galshemesh]

Very helpful tips! Aseprite gets better and better that you sometimes cannot memorize all this great new features by heart, or even miss a few on the way. Thanks to youtubers like you who make such great videos describing everything so nicely.

[@rpvarela]

About tip #4, it will only work if you have the "Auto Select Layer" option enabled. It's still a great tip that I did not know about tho! Thanks for sharing! :D

[@Hiireo]

I have been practically devouring information on aseprite and pixel art these past few weeks, and I think I have found my main art medium after years. Still gonna take a lot of practice to reach a decent level, but this? I don't know why I haven't gone into it earlier. You and many other artists talking about aseprite and pixel work itself have been a wonderful help and inspiration. And these tips? They are gold.

[@andrewbeauman]

Holy cow this is super helpful!

[@dominicortega1286]

Wow, can't believe how many little annoyances this video helped me solve. Thank you so much!

[@eason9]

This looks so good, I'm looking forward to watch this

[@Penusbmic]

Double thanks!

[@Emefak]

Video is great and will be very useful to me in the near future, but I wanted to congratulate you for the music. Nice moody track, man, thanks for sharing it.

[@thelengendzach7473]

[@h2o848]

[@AidinZolghadr]

Love it, thank you so much!

[@AS-Aeros]

Loved the content really was helpful in many area. Iamma even save ot for watch later to practice it ❤. Please bring this kind of videos in future too 🙏🏻

[@Penusbmic]

Thanks so much!

[@DinoVT]

Wow, I'm working on a Dome Keeper inspired game and when I was looking for assets initially, I found your The Dark series that I thought fit really well. I had no idea you actually worked on Dome Keeper ^^

[@tyzard99]

This is awesome. Thanks so much! (And I used watch soooo much Dome Keeper here on YT. Sick to know that you worked on it :) )

[@olivesareok]

great vid

[@Penusbmic]

Ty 😊

[@dravenpetroski9109]

I'm sorry but I didn't know you made dome keeper My friend you are a legend

[@AdamTheCoop1]

wicked, thanks for these vids! I definitely didnt know about all of these and the red/blue tint on onion skins will be very useful

[@coalt]

Frame advance within tag was SO good! I rebound them to normal arrow left and right and added ctrl modifiers for the old functionality.

[@manuelandremusic]

Thank you very much. I love your work and how your videos are helping me with my own art. I appreciate it.

[@somefishhere]

The video dropped! Heck yeah!

[@OddManu]

Nice video, thk u very much!

[@joi3279]

Nice tips!

[@BenBoi269]

Your amazing at pixel art keep up the good work

[@Penusbmic]

Thank you so much! :)

[@martiantony777]

Thank you! you rock!

[@Penusbmic]

[@davidwayjr]

This is so helpful! Thanks!! Also, what is the bg music? Really like that too!

[@mikkelpetersson4545]

Awesome channel, and love your work on dome keeper. Instant sub! I recently started creating a game with a friend, having no experience with pixel art and jumping right into it. Why do you keep body, feet, hands etc separate in your animations?

[@les-os]

4:19 - for some reason this tip doesn't work for me right now, trying to figure it out but this would be so useful! gotta figure out to get those lines to show when I hold V lol, thanks!!!!

[@les-os]

It was because I didn't have 'auto select layer' checkbox turned on (it shows in main window) :D

[@SlippyLegJones]

Oh my god I was manually going into the settings and turning on thumbnails every single time. Thanks lmao.

[@Penusbmic]

lmao! No problem :)

[@TheGoatsCoathanger]

[@lorenzoarena9122]

Hi, and thanks for the video! Do you have any advice or playlist (also from your patron, I'm considering becoming one) for beginners? Also do you have any videos about your workflow with your game engine?

[@radddish]

I LOVE DOMEKEEEEPER

[@nelioys]

у тебя очень красиво бро, я ничего подобного не видел, на ру ют точно нет никого лучше

[@Sobjuu]

*Waiting*

[@Tremoredstone-battlefrontconq]

Hey I love Dome Keeper and was wondering what you designed for it? Did you design the monsters? Cause the beginning art you have in the video reminds me of a Dome Keeper enemy with the entire body being black.

[@3xxh]

Any chance you were that guy doing libgtx tuts, where the intro would go, ‘hey this is mic…’?

[@ismailmaimouni3892]

i'm trying to make a pixel 2d game myself and this is really helpful, can i just ask what software do you use to create ur games, is it unity or UE , and can i learn them just on youtube or do i need special courses

[@Nixie_PL]

❤

[@giovanna3468]

waiting too😅

[@OzzyIDV]

have they still not added a way to add in music or audio to animate to?

[@shinxxedPCcomputer]

Can i get one of your asp file to understand the frame more

[@wegil6095]

Sory I could not cath it why it does change the layers while on V do you press something else as well cause mine did not change

[@giovanna3468]

is live?🤔

[@Random1993e]

hi how learn???

[@GuitarSlayer136]

Do.

[@Episaudron]

the music does not help

[@Ryuko15]

I agree with this
