SpritePile will be free to use! With the release of SpritePile 2.0 I decided that SpritePile 1.0 should be made free as it doesn't offer nearly as many features and serves better as a demo. It's certainly not a useless tool either and hopefully will provide many people who can't
The store page is up, SpritePile 2.0 is here! It will be officially available for purchase on January 27th. You can of course glance at the store page or watch the trailer to get an idea of what the new SpritePile features. I'll try to summarize some of the most notable changes i
Hello artists, devs, and all the rest of you! It has been a busy 3 months since the last time I posted news but I assure you that it was worth the wait. Let's get right into it! New 2D Render Modes A major struggle with sprite stacking is the lack of depth perception. Thanks to C

Hello everyone! It has been quite some time since I've posted anything about SpritePile but fret no more fellow sprite stackers! I'm here with some very exciting news. After a few quiet months of on and off development I have decided to take the leap and go full-time on SpritePil
Hello everyone! It has been quite some time since I last updated SpritePile and for that I apologize. I've been rather busy as of late but I want to make sure that you all feel my appreciation regardless of time constraints. I had some free time this morning and decided it was fi
This next one wasn't easy but I wanted to include a similar rotation option for the 3D view that the 2D view mode provides.
I'll be back soon with more hopefully! It seems to me that most people are happy with the tool as is but I know that it's always exciting when your tools add additional features.Hey everyone! I know it has been a while since the last update and for that I apologize. To make it up to you wonderful-supportive-fantastic people I made sure this update brings two highly requested features to SpritePile. I present to you the Rectangle and Circle tool. Alongsid

You can find me on Twitter!It's 2x faster, but how? Originally SpritePile was meant to include an alpha channel so that you could create glass and windows. However I further into development decided against it but the damage had already been done. There were already hundreds of references to the alpha chan

Have you perhaps saved your project but felt unsure whether or not the project actually saved? Maybe you pressed Undo but weren't sure it worked. Well now you can always be sure.
Hotfixes
Throughout the week I push small updates to address bugs and add minor features. I don't always write patch notes for it so if you see features that already exist in the tool within the changelog, it's because it was hotfixed during the week.
Want to see that face from earlier? I finished it up real quick just for this update.

Reordering Layers You can now easily shift layers around. It's not a major improvement to the layer feature but it is an improvement that I've seen requested by the community. Delete Selection In hindsight this should have been included with the addition of the Selection tool but
Delete Selection
In hindsight this should have been included with the addition of the Selection tool but better late than never!

Selection Tool This was by far the most requested feature from the community. I've yet to add copy/pasting for this tool as it's a bit more complicated than I anticipated. I plan to add it in the future but wanted to provide it to you sooner rather than later. Changes Pending &am
Here we are again with yet another translations from the community! Special thanks to SwordGardenStudios for providing translations for not just the store and the application, but the documentation as well. They requested a link to their website as well so here it is ! Again than
First and foremost we now have French translations thanks to Three Eyed Rat who generously offered to translate the entire tool and store page. What a good person, am I right? There was a strange bug with saving files the first time you ran SpritePile. I believe I've bypassed thi
SpritePile now has support for German as well thanks to another fantastic member in the community! French/Spanish are still being worked on but will be ready soon hopefully. I also fixed a few text spacing issues on the "New" and "Export" menu. Certain languages had text that ove
This is another small update but one that some of you may find very useful. A colorblind user reached out and explained how it can be difficult to discern colors while doing art. Being able to see some sort of information to figure out what colors are where would go a long way to
Alongside that another user pointed out that it seemed as though everything was stretched vertically in the 3D view. Turns out it was stretched! By about 1.5x due to me being a dingus. That has been fixed and so 3D rendering is now a 100% accurate representation of how your sprite stack would look in 3D.
I'm considering providing more options such as modifying the FOV and preset camera positions you can jump to or even save your own. One feature that is already implemented (in the developer build) but will need a bit more work is saving your 3D view to a *.png. This is only a useful feature if you can store the camera position for future rendering as well and so it is being delayed until I implement that.
With help from the community I'm also trying to expand our translations to French and Spanish which may or may not be available soon. I can't make any promises about translations at the moment but I can say that they are being worked on.Thanks to we now have a proper Portuguese translation! We hope this makes SpritePile more accessible. If you would like to translate the tool into your own preferred language feel free to reach out and we can work together to get it done!
Hello SpritePile'ers? Not sure that's going to catch on. Today I took time to focus on more user feedback and I've heard more than anything that a lot of people don't enjoy the default color scheme of SpritePile. Well now you can change it and easily for that matter. Perhaps you
