  1. Web-based Image editor: DPaint.js 0.2.0

    "DPaint.js" by 'Steffest' is a web-based image editor with a focus on Amiga file formats, heavily inspired by the classic DPaint. It can read and write all types of Amiga icons and IFF images. According to the author, two years of work on bug fixes and optimisations have gone into the new version 0.2.0 which provides new Amiga and Atari specific features:

  4. The image editor PyDPainter is inspired by DPaint and according to its author Mark Riale an attempt to create a usable pixel art program in Python using PyGame that can handle low resolutions and limited colour palettes and which can be as easy to use as possible. Version 2.1.0, among others, implements animbrushes and is available for WIndows, but can be compiled for other OS, too:

  9. Stéphane @sleuthgames Anquetil a mis en ligne un nouveau tutoriel vidéo pour PyDPainter, ce magnifique clone de DPaint en Python.

    Cette fois-ci, il s'agit de la nouvelle fonction Anim Painting, disponible depuis la version 2.

  10. 🦢💅🏻🎃 "His Idea of the Mascara-Painted Black-Swan Halloween Costume" was my release in the oldschool graphics competition at @deadline_demoparty (4th place) 320x256 pixels, 32 colors, #Amiga OCS/ECS

  11. @felsqualle Am I the only one that sees this box art as a riff on the contemporaneous #DeluxePaint’s iconic King Tut image (also featured on the latter’s box art)?

  12. Carl Svensson shared his thoughts on the innovations and impact of Deluxe Paint, both on him and the software industry.

    As an Amiga user back then I would have loved to check out the program. But my complete lack of artistic talent wouldn't have justified even the almost affordable price.

  13. I've been thinking whether I should get the newest version of ProMotion from Cosmigo. I'm still using the ancient ProMotion 4.7 from almost 20 years ago, which still works on Windows 10 but more importantly runs nicely on Wine so I can use it under Linux. However, while PM 4.7 is a very nice spiritual successor to Deluxe Paint, and all the ancient workflows I developed on DPaint II enhanced for MS-DOS back in the early 1990s still work with PM 4.7, I sometimes miss modern features like layers. If I want basic DPaint functionality, I can use Grafx2, which is even free open source software under GPL.
    Should I invest 20€ and get the latest Pro Motion? Well, maybe I'll try the free version first and see if it works with Wine...

    I find it quite odd that so few pixel artists out there use it. Then again, I don't know how many active pixel artists are old enough to remember DPaint (and miss it).

  14. Old pixelart time: in the 90s, my friends and I played a lot of Empire (like a LOT) so we came up with a half-hearted plan to "make it bigger and better." Of course, the plan went nowhere 🤦‍♂️
    But I still have the pixels I threw down 😄 #pixelart #retro #amiga #strategy #amiga #dpaint #empire

  15. Old pixel art time - this one's from the previous millenium: 1994. Tilesets, inventory items, monsters and a very cheesy title screen for a dungeon crawler that never saw the light of day. Dpaint, 32(ish) colours. #amiga #pixelart #dpaint #dungeoncrawler

  16. @loadhigh I think I'll redo the original pixel art. I'll rework the upscaled 640x480 version in Cosmigo ProMotion, a professional pixel art tool for retro game designers loosely based on DPaint, using some of my AI results for reference. My Cosmigo version is very outdated (4.7, some 20 years old), but fortunately it still runs on Wine.

  17. Another one of my favourite programs on the Commodore Amiga was of course Deluxe Paint - I already had lots of fun with several painting and drawing programs on the Commodore 64, but Deluxe Paint III was just superior and very easy and fun to use. I was lucky to get an original boxed version in late 1990! #retrocomputing #vintage #vintagecomputer #commodore #amiga #workbench #amigados #16bit #deluxepaint #dpaint
