Since I started using Bitsy last year, it always bugged me how creating new animation frames, assigning unique asset colors, and enabling transparent backgrounds all required manual edits inside the game data. My friend also kept running into speed limitations when it came to designing new assets, there was no way to flip tiles and no way to quickly navigate through his 400 unnamed tile mess. While I know Bitsy Color+ tackles some of these issues, it’s also outdated and its exports aren’t fully compatible with vanilla Bitsy.
This tool on the other hand was built with full vanilla bitsy support in mind, meaning all exported edits that you make will appear in the vanilla bitsy including but not limited to different colored tiles, extended animation frames and transparent background.
