Forgot to attach the #GrafX2 screenshot, lol

Nice! With #GrafX2 and my pfp I finally have a custom favicon. Also fixed the default picture for link preview, if there is no header's picture for the linked post :drgn_aww: Like this:

Tried to draw a bit with a GrafX2 :drgn_blep:

Interesting program and a simple enough :drgn_aww: Almost everything could be controlled via the keyboard.

🚀 Biralo Beyond is now open-source on GitHub!
Born from my JS13kGames 2025 entry, this version packs extra polish, new content, and boss battles.
🎮 I’ll drop the Newgrounds link in the reply -It includes the GitHub repo for anyone curious to dive in.

Spritesheet Viewer for the GrafX2 Art Program

Created during a game jam, so there might still be a few bugs here and there.

This tool lets you edit your sprites in GrafX2, select frames, preview the animation live, and export the selected frames as PNG sequences, GIFs, or a spritesheet.

If you're interested, here's the GitHub link:

We have 6 days until #SoftwareFreedomDay2025. To celebrate, let's all share some of our favorite #FLOSS programs. What's your absolute favorite #FOSS graphics program? Personally, I can't pick one. #Gimp, #Inkscape, #Graphicsmagick & #Imagemagick are great. As are #DarkTable, #RawTherapee, #MTPaint & #TuxPaint. However, some lesser known #FLOSS graphics programs I like are #GrafX2, #LodePaint and #I.mage. #DFF #SFD2025

All graphical assets in #theAching were drawn using GrafX2 on a Debian based computer!

Given current events, I no longer felt like using my pixel art shiba doge as profile picture, so went ahead and made me a new one with a cute kitten wrapped in a burrito blanket (hence a “purrito”), using the default #MSX (TMS9918) palette. This was finally the excuse I needed to try #Grafx2, and it was fine, actually!
The ultimate challenge would have been using DeluxePaint on the Amiga, though :neocat_catmode:

@atichiipixels I have never used #aseprite . I only ever see it mentioned everywhere, must be popular. However, since the basics of pixelart have been fixed and not changed at all in the past 30 years, there is no need to get used to any newer software as long as you can use the old, or something very similar to ancient Amiga Deluxe Paint like #grafx2 , but it's a bit too Spartan for my taste. German software company Cosmigo make ProMotion, a #pixelart tool especially for game artists.

And I realized #Grafx2 does have a color cycling feature just like in #DeluxePaint, but Grafx2 does not support separate color cycling ranges.

In fact, it only has one color cycling range compared to, say, DPaint III's six separate ranges.

(Deluxe Paint IV has an impressive *eight* individual color cycling ranges!)

I have just relased a new version 2.9 of GrafX2, "the ultimate 256-color painting program".
Binaries are available for Haiku, Gamepark Holdings GP2x, Nintendo Switch, Atari Mint and Windows (yes, our build automation somehow focuses only on the most ridiculous platforms). For Linux it should hopefully be updated in your favorite distribution soon.
Not a lot of changes in this version, many bugfixes and more fileformats supported (Apple IIgs, C64, CPC, Atari TT...)

Had fun participating in Flash-Forward-2024.

A tribute to NES game "River City Ransom" & "Street Of Rage 2".

I have not done any serious development in #GrafX2 in... I don't remember, 10 years at least? But I managed toget back into it and somewhat remember how it works. Today I added a new window when loading a .scr (Amstrad CPC) file without a known palette or loader (basically just a dump of screen memory). You can select the videomode and width/height in that case.

@mrqwak love the look. Reminds me of #grafx2 contents rendered through #VesaBiosExtensions back then :P (cf. https://sylvainhb.blogspot.com/2021/09/eclipse-operating-system.html)

10MB more with #Grafx2 :)

I finally bought a real domain name for #GrafX2 so you can now find the homepage at http://grafx2.eu
The .tk domain expired or was cancelled again and my .tk account was semi-banned so I can't re-register it… and it's not such a great idea since I don't actually live on Tokelau island where this domain belongs, so, that's fixed now.
I guess I should move pulkomandy.tk as well, but that would break a lot more stuff :(

After fixing the TTF font rendering in #GrafX2 several times in my local #FreeBSD ports tree, I finally got my shit together and submitted the patch to the maintainer.

Only one day later it has been committed to the official ports tree and I don't have to care about this anymore. I really should have done this earlier 🙄
