Right? It's such a simple game and yet there's so much to do. It's just a really comforting experience to explore and decorate and collect at your own pace.

Omg, so I came here to learn how to pixel, and I am suuuuper intimidated by some of the completed works I’ve seen. I’m going to not let it deter me because I really want to learn.

Anyone here use Clip Studio for pixel art? Which program do you guys suggest? :) Help a super newbie out!

You can use clip studio, but you have to make sure your antialiasing is turned off. I personally use a mix of MS Paint and Aseprite.

@Priestess of Pie: Ahhh, thanks for the tip. I’ll dabble around in a bit of everything and see what works.
And congrats on the artist status. I wonder why it took them so long since your pixel stuff looks really good (from what I’ve seen so far). ^^

@Tsundererra: I forgot to ping you before whoops. But yeah. Aseprite is worth buying imo since it's the most intuitive program I've used. It's not super expensive either. Totally not necessary if you're just getting started but if you want to get into doing animations or need multiple layers for effects, it's perfect.

@Priestess of Pie: It’s no worries. I creep everywhere during my breaks from posting, so I see stuffs even without a ping... usually.
I’ll look into Aseprite then, and luckily it’s not that expensive. Do you know if you can do animations with clip studio?

@Tsundererra: You can, but I haven't figured it out yet. u_u I think you're limited to only a certain amount of frames or something unless you get their upgraded version. Which is probably fine for little pixel gifs.

@Priestess of Pie: I couldn’t figure it out either. ToT I was hoping making pixel art would be as intuitive as making illustrations on there. Oh wellssss.
Thanks for your advice~ :)

Yeah I've got a couple personal pixel projects I have just sitting. I need to buckle down and get them done, but it's hard when it's only for me.
