๐Ÿš€ ZpriteForge Update v1.1: The "Pro-Tools" Update is Here!

Hello everyone! Thank you so much for the amazing feedback and support. Iโ€™ve been listening closely to your requests, and today Iโ€™m thrilled to announce a massive update for ZpriteForge that brings some of the most requested professional pixel art featuresโ€”still completely free and directly in your browser!

Here is what's new in this update:

โœจ MAJOR NEW FEATURES:

  • โœ‚๏ธ Rectangular Select & Move Tool: You asked for it, and it's here! You can now select a specific area of your canvas and drag it around freely. Perfect for adjusting character proportions or moving elements without redrawing.

  • ๐Ÿ Dithering Brush: Achieving that classic retro shading is now effortless. Equip the new Dither tool to automatically paint in a checkerboard pattern!

  • ๐Ÿงฑ Seamless Tile Mode (3x3): Creating textures and tilesets is now incredibly easy. Toggle the "Tile Mode" on the left panel, and your brush strokes will wrap around the canvas edges perfectly. Plus, your preview window now renders a 3x3 grid so you can see your seamless texture in real-time!

  • ๐ŸŽž๏ธ Duplicate Frame Button: Animation workflow just got a lot faster. Click the new "Dup" button in the timeline to instantly clone your current frame (with all its layers) to smoothly animate your next keyframe.

  • ๐Ÿ•น๏ธ Shift Pixels (Pan Layer): Added 4 directional buttons in the "Transform" panel. You can now shift the entire content of your layer up, down, left, or right by exactly one pixel!

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ BUG FIXES & IMPROVEMENTS:

  • Responsive Layout: The app layout is now fully responsive! If you shrink your browser window or use a smaller screen, the side panels will gracefully stack instead of squishing your canvas.

  • Scrollbar Fixes: Fixed a bug where scrollbars weren't rendering properly on Firefox.

  • Quick Export Fixed: Fixed an issue where the Quick PNG and Quick GIF export buttons wouldn't trigger correctly.

All these updates are live right now! Jump in and try out the new tools. As always, Iโ€™d love to hear your thoughts and see what you create with ZpriteForge.
