How I make graphics for retro systems and retro-styled games

I still use my old copy of Deluxe Paint II under Dosbox. It’s a bit rough, because of the LBM format, which adds an extra step in a more modern tool to add transparency and convert to PNG, but works well for my needs.

Also, the DP2 drawing primitives are soooo easy to use that I find any other tool too cumbersome.

Thank you. I think I checked that program a lot of years ago. Was it commercial at first? Maybe I'm wrong.

Paint.net has a plugin that can read LBM, though I haven't tried the extension myself. https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/30238-interchange-file-for...
