What software do you recommend for pixel art?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Pixel art can be created with any raster image editor. Popular image editors include Photoshop, GIMP, and Krita. Other programs which are more specialized for the creation of pixel art are also available. Some of these include Aseprite, Pyxel Edit, and Piskel.<|im_end|>

I've heard good things about Aseprite, but doesn't it cost money?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Aseprite does cost money, but an older version (v0.9.5) is available for free on the official website. Additionally, the source code is available on GitHub, so you can legally compile it and use it for free if you have the technical know-how.<|im_end|>
