Title: Drawing Software
Post by: Xiphos on December 05, 2009, 01:29:23 PM

Right now to make the tiles for my game I am using paintbrush, however Paint Brush's show grid option isn't working making it very difficult to place the tiles. Do you guys know of any other drawing programs like paint brush with a show grid option. As long as they are free and don't crash a lot I'll try them.

Sorry, I use Photoshop for everything. Even text preparation.

Graphics Converter.
Ah, don't use PaintBrush! It caused a ton of trouble with WH and I as it tinted all his tiles. Luckily he had the backups.

Is it too late, because I already made a set of tiles in paintbrush...

Not bad, I recommend using Pixen.

Those are really nice. :) There's nothing quite so pleasant in the world as an home made RPG with original graphics.
