[@unscripted483]

used your link to buy it.. you make quality content so i wanted to help as much as a I can

[@LeahMiPop]

I just got into learning game dev and found your videos. I love them! I would LOVE it if you did some top down pixel art tutorials- like constructing rooms and such.

[@Agus-wp2cc]

I was just watching your previous tutorials and suddenly you upload another one. Well since I'm here I really want to thank you, this content really helped improving my pixel art skills ^^

[@CaseyFaris]

Hey man. I really appreciate your tutorials. Very well presented. Much respect from one tutorial dude to another!

[@ToothpasteJuiceBox]

If Casey says it’s good I sub before I even watch the video.

[@johncormier]

I'm working with Asesprite right now, and even today I was hoping that someone would do a straightforward tutorial of this program. Thank you!!

[@JackSather]

First time viewer, I loovvee your honesty in cutting your vids when you start a sentence and just bail mid way through xD i do that all the time. Super helpful vid man! Thank you!

[@PeterMilko]

yeah lol, Its hard to talk and draw sometimes

[@NtcPedroPeterNews]

thanks you so much man for the tutorial! I've been looking for this!

[@tia7753]

I just got aseprite so these tips are very helpful! Thank you for the video!

[@andreijardan2664]

Thanks for the tips :). Btw, if you want to move a layer, you can also drag it with right click (after selecting it), instead of having to click on that tiny lil yellow border.

[@herrscherofsillyracoons851]

Finally an aseprite focused video! hehe, it is the program i like the most to use.

[@devinadams4637]

Just started pixel art and I found this video super helpful, thank you very much!

[@joshicus_saint_anger]

Thank you. This is exactly what I was hoping for

[@Gbtx6]

Although the canvas size depends on your needs, I think it is safe to say that a good way to work with your canvas size would be basing it on your game's screen resolution. This way you know how much of the screen these assets would take. This is the case for people making assets for their indie/games. Aseprite is an amazing tool, as you mentioned, since it allows you to resize stuff on the fly without much of a hassle. Thanks a lot for this great video Pete! Keep up the great work dude

[@LittleFjords]

Man, just bought it 2 weeks ago or totally would of used your link! Thanks for the rad videos dude

[@lychos-games]

Substitute for moving layers: instead of grabbing the border (annoying) hold Right-Click and drag (way less annoying).

[@bookiemeow173]

Thank you so much for this very helpful video!!

[@BranchtAI]

Great tutorial!

[@IamRasheed]

I don’t even have a PC or Mac and still watch this video.

[@articulate_india]

hey man, really enjoyed dwerve. the art was sooo cool. could u make a video to help people like me understand how cli works? wanted to learn how to export slices and stumbled upon it.

[@pkbeamgamma9262]

3:24 im not sure if u mention it later, but that same border thing applies to frames, not just layers. ngl its kinda tedious when i get animations over 30 frames 😅

[@theslyder]

It's such an odd design choice. I get the idea of prioritizing multi-selection over moving them, but it's also going against the standard design of nearly every graphics program we've all learned and gotten used to. I often opt to not use Aseprite purely because of how awkward controlling the UI feels compared to other programs.

[@ech0_exe243]

Oh ya. Ima get dwerve right when it comes out!

[@Wolfox85]

I have a question how do I get more detail in pixel art using Aseprite?

[@finestcustard5647]

The random terraria sound effects in these videos always shock me. Love that game lol

[@decemes]

is there a background image for me to make pixel art based on it?

[@mr.e5930]

i was wondering if you could make a large high rez pixel art and shrink it for a game?

[@ryanclemons1]

so that is how you move layers!

[@brokensilence8587]

can you plss make a tutorial about char, tree, water fall, animation, i managed to create it using Photoshop but its so messy, i really like your work its so clean, hope your channel grow fast bigger,, we dont mind its 30 mins in diff evry video, learning is entertaining

[@pallogvinov1706]

Thank you very much!

[@shylvia2098]

thanks for your videos. i didnt know that i can make pixel art too. and your tutorial is very easy to understand. and i'd like to request. please make tutorial about creating crystals, diamonds or another material.

[@PeterMilko]

sure :)

[@shylvia2098]

@@PeterMilko thank's :D

[@daycampgames]

Hey Pete, how come the background should be white instead of transparent?

[@PeterMilko]

it doesnt but i like it better

[@Skiddydebop]

Oh man, an early comment. Pete - you are incredible. I cannot express how thankful I am for your content. Is there a Pixel Pete TShirt?!

[@PeterMilko]

no but ill make some soon :)

[@LilMissMurder3409]

Thanks, Pete me boi. I find asesprite to have tonnes of idiosyncrasies and little annoyances, but its a nice program.

[@nekntit3499]

I must be mentally disabled because I have been messing around on asespire a solid hour and haven't managed to draw yet. I managed to make my canvas actual drawing size now but drawing with the gb color palette is impossible. The pencil is extremely small or just giant. Can't make the grid work. I always set out to do these things and it's like a massive learning curve or something it's seriously so frustrating and no tutorial has the answers to the simplest things I want to know it's like they expect you to know stuff all ready. I literally know absolutely nothing about this someone point me in the right direction please

[@redemtiverabbit2175]

Dwerve looks great! Quick question did you creat the original sprite for the main character and what other kind of things do you creat for the game

[@redemtiverabbit2175]

Also love your content keep it up

[@vincvids7297]

I'm searching for likeminded people whom i can chat with while doing pixelart, I speak englisch and german.

[@crafter4200]

Yeah same, is there a discord server or something?

[@pyjamadan9848]

You need more subs!

[@allluckyseven]

Your best tip was that of the Twitter bookmarks. Why didn't I even try to see what that was? It's gonna be so useful! But okay, here goes one tip for... yyooo...whoever wants it. You can have two windows side by side on Aseprite, just by dragging the tab of your second window to the side until that panel enlarges, then you drop it there. EDIT: The List thing (feature, w/e) on Twitter is a bit dumb, though. You can't create a list when adding someone. You have to go create a list first. :facepalm: And the Bookmarks is also annoying, as you can't add people from the list (not List) of people you're following. You have to either go to their profile page, or click on a button on one of their tweets. Why do Twitter keeps adding half-assed features? Jeez...

[@kevinanderson6367]

The moment of truth! IS Asesprite better than Graphicsgale, just kidding. They're both good. Dang lists and bookmarks are sick! I never knew what they were for.

[@MartinPurathur]

This was genuinely helpful. Could you do advice for 1 bit art?

[@PeterMilko]

yeah sure

[@zaviens9574]

Thanks !

[@ElDerpy]

Making a Twitter list: also known as the quick way to get blocked.

[@Rudra-gu6iq]

I haven't purchased aseprite so this vedio is not for me😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@Bastraction]

Just bought it literally yesterday lol

[@ezikkerem8680]

we are watching you from discord live stream

[@Anthaghoull]

Fuck my fucking life... I got aseprite and then watched this vid... I hate myself. I'll become a patreon once my salary increases when shit calms down.. pandemic is sad, even for web devs But dude, bless you! I'll find a way to give back to you when I can. Pixel promise!

[@safir2241]

maybe the open source pixel programs will one day be good

[@Moonz97]

Aseprite is open source btw :)

[@cowpop8362]

I dont get how you dont get more views and subs

[@serranoedwardnathanieln.9338]

am i the only one who doesnt have enough cash to buy asperite here?

[@ezikkerem8680]

[@Honnii]

[@ahmetmertsepici9193]

I don't want to say first but damn it's been 14 minutes

[@PeterMilko]
