Noticed this in my distro's repo today (fedora) and figured I'd bring some attention to it. Asesprite is the premier pixel art tool, so it's awesome to see someone keeping the FOSS version alive!

Also available on flathub.

There's also a great book from NoStarchPress made for Asesprite, and assumes absolutely no previous artistic knowledge!

Thankfully compiling on Windows was as easy as searching for a guide online. When I switched to CachyOS there was also a package in the AUR that seems well maintained.

I like that LibreSprite exists though. I wonder if it can use Aseprite's extensions. I might have to check it out just to see.

Once my financial situation is settled I do want to pay. Aseprite is an amazing tool and the devs deserve my money at this point. They don't ask much and still keep it available to compile for free. That's real marketing, imo.
