Draw & Animate

Draw and animate your own art

A full pixel-art editor, built into the toolkit: draw sprites, tiles, and textures with layers, a full palette, and mirroring, then animate them frame by frame on a timeline that plays back live as you edit.

  • Pixel-art drawing: layers, palette, mirroring
  • Frame-by-frame animation timelines
  • Adjustable per-frame timing, live playback
  • Draw tiles, sprites, and textures in one place

Entities

Build a game object from one or more sprites, give it colliders and custom properties, and drop instances into any map.

Tilesets

Slice a spritesheet into a tile grid, build meta-tiles and terrain layers, or turn any tile straight into an entity.

Drawing

Draw and animate your own art without leaving the editor: full palette, layers, mirroring, and frame-by-frame timelines.

Project organisation

Every sprite, tileset, map, and entity lives in one searchable project, sorted into folders you control.
