Hey gang, I'm getting warmed up for the next Ludum Dare and I want to try something besides Seashore (I'm on OSX).
I loved mtPaint when I used LOVE on Linux, and I was wondering if anybody has suggestions for a similar program on OSX.
Pixen looks pretty good, that's the first one I'll audition.
Also, and more interestingly, do any of you use a custom pixel art program made in LOVE? I've used LOVE to make simple level editors, so it's not too much of a stretch to imagine extremely-domain-specific sprite art programs out there.
Yeah!

Do you recognise when the world won't stop for you? Or when the days don't care what you've got to do? When the weight's too tough to lift up, what do you? Don't let them choose for you, that's on you.
Re: Graphics-ficating on OSX
Oh neat, SuperSprite does look cool. Am I weird for wanting to add vim-like navigation to plotting pixels? Is that how bitmap programs worked in the dinosaur Amiga days? More importantly, what am I talking about!

Re: Graphics-ficating on OSX
I wonder if there's a remake of DeluxePaint floating around...

Re: Graphics-ficating on OSX
GrafX2 is said to be inspired by Deluxe Paint, has a Mac OS X port and has keyboard navigation! 
And it's scriptable with Lua as well!

Oh wow, amazing! Thank you. I hope I can press J to toggle documents. I used to love making 2-frame animations on this when I was a kid.

Re: Graphics-ficating on OSX
Holy crap, I never heard of DPaint until I read the Warcraft post-mortem that came out last week.
I ended up using Pickle for Ludum Dare, and it was very nice although not being able to zoom in and not being able to select-move regions when making animations was a trifle annoying.

Re: Graphics-ficating on OSX
Holy crap, Grafx2 is amazing. I feel like I just experienced a part of the past I never knew existed. Too bad is crashes like crazy on OSX. Linux version is stable unless I used fonts. But those brushes, alpha, smudge, scatter, dithered gradients and KEYBOARD DRAW are the bee's knees!
Re: Graphics-ficating on OSX
I've been playing with Sprite Something this evening, the Dropbox integration is neat I just have LOVE reload my images every 5 seconds and pass the iPad around!
It's too bad none of the cool sprite programs (mtPaint, Grafx2) seem to run well on OSX. Pickle is good for small tasks, but I don't think I would use it for a whole game. Oh well, guess I should learn Photoshop like everybody else.
