Ahhh, this brought back such a strange memory of my dad telling me I'd never see stage 3 in Gradius III as a first or second grader! I don't remember the context, but I stopped playing it after that- what a strange thing to think about! I know I have at least one Parodius on hand, though, so I'll take your rec on it later! I'll have to look into Rocket Knight, too, I had no idea what sort of game that was!
Thanks! What happens with the 1px grid is that you can't seem to select it so it doesn't switch, but I can select every other option for the grid and toggle them on and off with the checkbox.
Thank you! There is so much to do, and a big update coming once some serious bugs can be fixed. I was hoping the updates for Paint99 would cater to pixel artists. Do you have any big requests for a feature or two?
One thing that would help a ton is making sure the 1px grid works, at the moment I can't click on it for some reason. (Also maybe it should be pixel units rather than point units (pt), but if this is how windows used to call pixels I don't mind). Another useful thing could be the ability to save a colour palette as well as export and import it (the open GPL format that GIMP and Inkscape uses might be simple enough).
Some other ideas: the ability to zoom around on the bitmap view (or stop it from immediately closing, so you can look at it), ability to Save As a GIF or PNG format. A more complicated request is removing anti aliasing from the fonts, I wouldn't have a clue how to go about doing that but I know Aseprite and Clip Studio Paint have toggle settings for it.
thank you! I also like what's happening on your site. very neat 😍
