What it is
Pro Motion NG is a graphics and animation program for creating pixel-precise images, animations, sprites, tiles and game-level maps. The maker describes it as suited to detailed graphics for mobile systems and handheld game devices, and lightweight graphics for web games and applications. Animation features include key frames, playback modes and light-table onion skinning. Its tile-map editor supports auto optimization, mirroring, flexible export and in-place tile modification. Pixel-perfect drawing removes smeared pixels in real time, while pen pressure can control brush size, gradients and halftones. Supported file formats include PNG, BMP, GIF, JPEG, TGA, AVI and Autodesk Flic. It can be used with game creation engines or frameworks including Unity, Game Maker, Havok, App Game Kit, Marmalade and Clickteam Fusion. The free edition permits commercial use but limits features, including full transformation options, pixel-perfect drawing, onion skinning and more than four graphic layers. The full version costs $19 a month and includes free updates. It runs on Windows, with macOS and Linux support via Wine.
