Yeah Krita is far better than GIMP in my experience, and it doesn't have a godawful name.
The only downside I've found is it is really quite heavy. Probably the slowest program to start that I use. Pretty annoying when you just want to crop an image or whatever.
Also for some reason the clone brush is not enabled by default. I had to Google how to get it, which is not a good sign!
Not a game dev but doesn't it currently have a vastly better asset ecosystem?
Thank you ^^
Yea, I read about it before but never tried it myself. I really hope they have a official "movement" in a similar direction. Cause I don't see that being accepted by "normal" people.
at this point i prefer photogimp over cs6, which was my previous driver. ymmv though, my workflow is abnormal.
Been seeing a lot more Godot lately and that makes me happy
Not the engine. But the community level editor for custom maps, sorry for not making that clear. Here is a short tutorial using it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1LNorfPlNc
Just the custom level editor. Game Engine is still Frostbite.
Man, I love the idea of an open-source Creative Cloud, but every time I launch GIMP I run screaming in the other direction. Affinity is my middle-ground for the moment.
Lol good catch. Damn dictation software. Hah yes it's the cenobites choice.
Gay Midget Tamer Karate Game Jam? That's one of my top 10 most okayest Game Jams.
Mad props for the name & logo!
It’s a little more pain [...] oriented
Oh good... just what I wanted.
I dunno, but there are plenty of other proprietary options, many of which are the actual "industry standard". However, because it is free, blender is the default option for non pros, and some pros are adopting it too.
Blender moment
Did Maya do a Unity or it it even still a thing? (Or something else that's also proprietary 🤢)
Eventually. It's a long slow arc. But there's definitely a history of it. From its Inception the modern smartphone has been built almost exclusively on top of Linux or BSD. Even if proprietary presentation layers above it don't always make it perfectly clear. Similar can be said for any modern gaming console or hand held. With the exception of Microsoft's products.
Most of the modern internet, your home consumer router and maybe even some of your appliances. Built on open source code. And finally, many are switching to own their PC again. There isn't a lot of hype or fan fair publicly. But open source has been quietly putting in the work and showing up for decades.
Realistically, we're actually just returning to a pre Microsoft state. Granted before the explosion of the personal computer most computers were massive devices an individual couldn't own. And there wasn't a lot of money to be made in selling the software itself. So there was a lot of collaboration and sharing. Even if proprietary layers were built on top. The base was vital. We're finally getting back there.
Krita for me was quite a learning curve, but far more intuitive / with a far better workflow than Gimp once you got used to it. So I'd recommend it too for image editing, though with this, to me, a positive caveat.
There are other tools besides the Gimp. Have you tried krita? It's a little more pen* and tablet oriented. But a solid program in its own right. And despite being part of the KDE platform if I'm not mistaken. They have excellent Windows and Mac versions as well
Now they just need to switch colors in the graph :)
I'm amazed at how many people are still using unity.
wait battlefield uses godot? holy shit
Yeah! It was a blast. We also used godot. Such a great engine!
Open source always win.
I hate to call it too early and jinx it but I think at this point its safe to say we got a Blender moment about to happen in Game Engines. I know these are all indie games. But the momentum is astonishing and with Battlefield using Godot as their Level Editor and more recognition on the professional level there is no sign of stopping it.
Whats next on the chopping block? Wouldn't mind it to be Photoshop, but I guess for that, GIMP would really need a grounds up redesign, UI and UX wise.
