Why Early Access?

“Sprart is already fully usable for creating pixel art and animations, but we believe the best creative tools are built together with the community.

Early Access allows artists and game developers to help shape the editor by providing feedback, suggesting new workflows, reporting issues, and influencing future features. Our goal is to refine the user experience while continuing to expand Sprart into one of the most complete pixel art editors available.”

Approximately how long will this software be in Early Access?

“We currently expect Sprart to remain in Early Access for approximately 12 to 18 months.

The exact duration will depend on community feedback and the completion of planned features. We prefer releasing a polished product rather than rushing development.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version already includes the core editing experience, including pixel art creation, animation tools, isometric editing, automatic lighting, skeleton animation, mesh deformation, and advanced perspective drawing.

During Early Access we plan to improve stability, performance, usability, and documentation while expanding the software with additional editing tools, workflow improvements, import/export options, automation features, and quality-of-life enhancements requested by the community.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version is fully functional and suitable for creating professional pixel art projects.

Current features include:

Professional pixel art editing tools
Layer and frame-based animation
Real-time animation preview
Onion skinning
Sprite sheet export
GIF and PNG sequence export
Native isometric editor
Automatic lighting system
Skeleton animation
Mesh deformation tools
Advanced perspective system with editable 1, 2, 3, and 4-point perspective guides
Ctrl-assisted perspective drawing
RotSprite rotation
Tiled drawing mode

While the software is already capable of real production work, some planned features, optimizations, and workflow improvements are still under development.”

Will this software be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“No.

We currently plan to keep the same price during Early Access and after the full release. If this changes, we will communicate it in advance.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Community feedback will play a major role in the development of Sprart.

We plan to actively listen to users through Steam Discussions, Discord, social media, and community feedback channels. Feature requests, workflow suggestions, bug reports, and usability improvements will directly influence future updates whenever possible.

Our goal is to build Sprart together with the pixel art community and create a tool that meets the needs of both hobbyists and professional game developers.”
