But yeah, it is a rather nice program is you have a tablet and all.

This seems to be great for traditional cartoon (for exmple, people in animation school) but is it useable for videogame and stuff?

Why not? Every game doesn't have to be made of pick-sulls

I think it's good for roughs, ideally you'd animate something here, export the frames to a different graphic editor and touch them up, then embed them into your game.

I assume what he's really asking is if the animations can properly be exported into a program like GM with minimal fuss. All those fancy inbetweens aren't going to be worth much if they can't eventually be turned into sprites. The thing is, unless you make a game in Flash, you're always going to be using pixels (AKA raster imaging)- it just depends on how many pixels you see at a given time.

Yes can you for example import a prerendered background or sthg like that or export easily to sprites, etc...

[J. R. Hill]

It doesn't even support color (aside from black/blue) as far as I can tell.  I don't think the canvas can be resized either.

Also, it exports to multiple files rather than a sprite sheet.

It's pretty boss for roughing big animations though.

[J. R. Hill]

animation itself … well,  is really tough to get right.

That's the truth.

neat tool, but I agree with 0rel
