Pro Motion
Pixel Orientated Drawing and Animation Software - Pro Motion 6

If you are looking for a tool that helps you with creating images and animations at the pixel level then your search has probably ended now.

It is ideal for artists working on detailed and pixel precise graphics as required for mobile systems like cell phones, smart phones, Pocket PCs, handheld video game consoles like Gameboy / Advance / Nintendo DS or Playstation Portable. It also suites well to create light weight graphics for the web or Macromedia Flash applications.

Features

Generally spoken Pro Motion is a "pixel pusher" that is working like the famous drawing packages Deluxe Paint or Brilliance published in the past for Commodore Amiga systems. All tools are optimized for image and animation editing at pixel level for graphics with up to 256 palettized colors per frame.

Game Specific Features
