Quality of life stuff


Hey, no bigger update this time but still some stuff that should be nice. Here's a list of changes:

- Alpha in color picker:

You can now set the alpha value of colors in the colorpicker, meaning you can have for example a layer of transparent clouds. Alpha is enabled for all colors so you could even make the planet itself transparent if you want.

- Pixel margins in spritesheet:

Sometimes spritesheets don't always work in every engine. This is because the frames are to close together in the image, and pixels of different tiles can "bleed" over to different frames. To counteract this you can now set a margin in the spritesheet menu that will put an empty border around every frame.

- Faster png exporting

I updated the method of png exporting making it easier to download big images. This doesn't really effect gif exporting much though.

And unfortunately I have to take the MacOS download offline for now. Since I don't own a mac I can't test it. Also apple does not allow you to build MacOS apps from a non-apple machine, and the method I used previously no longer works.

Hope you like update though, cheers!

it looks like there is a bug with the Gas Giant2!

I choose the option of 500 pixel, and in the spritesheet for 10 frames it shows over 15000 pixel thats not correct


nvm: i think its just of its shape if i use 1500 for slicing the spritesheets its fine :)

Oh you're right that for the gas giant 2 the pixel size is larger. The planet itself is 100 pixels but the ring 300 px, I forgot to show that in the generator. Glad everything else is working though!

Thank you for your work! I love your asset.

If one day I create a space videogame I'll use it and, of course, donate :)

Nice, glad you like it!

Let me know if you make something with it, looking forward to it :)

Of course I'll tell you ;)

I'm trying to make a spaceship game, inspired in Zaxxon classic game. Follow me in Twitter if you wanna know about it.

I'm using this asset and your Pixel Space Background Generator. I've donated in both.

Alright sounds awesome!
Thanks for the donations, appreciate it!
