We updated our animation system. It is now more in line with what you mentioned here.

We recently added checkered background options. You can now select the color and the pattern! 

Yes, we're constantly improving. the isometric tiles system is quite new so expect upgrades. The Tile builder does replace tiles, the only way is to draw tiles on layer above. Although, maybe adding an option to not replace, but overlay tile on the same layer would be useful. So you might have a point there. I will add some notes to improve these. Thanks for the feedback!

Yes we will add more customization options in a upcoming update.

We may add native linux support in the future. 

Thank you!

hi Manukineko!! How are ya buddy?
Not at the moment. This is 100% in the road map though and updates are free.

Yes you can buy it from here:

Purchase Manabit on Ko-fi

No problem! Yes there is a Sync toggle that syncs all frames to preview them simultaneously. It may seem a little different at first but it does have it’s advantages because you can choose which animation sets you want to sync. In the case that for example, you have a player’s legs animated to run, and you want the player’s upper body to have different animations such as aim, reload, punch, etc. In aseprite you would have to copy the leg’s run frames to all upper body animations to preview them simultaneously in combination. And that would only work if you have the same amount of frames on the leg’s run animation as each upper body animations. Another issue would be editing the run animation you would have to copy the edited frames on to all upper body animation. Furthermore, if you introduced more leg and upper body animations you would have to do a lot of manual work to preview them to see if they sync well. In Manabit, you just select which animation from which layer you want to preview by selecting the animation you want to preview as the “favorite “. 

Yes it’s possible but it’s different than sharing timelines. It’s designed to handle any combination of animations for game design mostly, so you can build all assets in one file and preview it all together.

I do encourage you to give it a try. It’s slightly different but infinitely more powerful. And it will only get better with updates.

I hope that clears up the differences. You can also read the docs for more info.

Yes. Manabit supports layered sprite animation: each layer can have its own frame strip with independent art per frame, and with Sync on you can preview all layers composited together (similar to Aseprite’s cels).

The difference is organizational: Manabit uses per-layer frame strips rather than one shared timeline grid. Layers can also hold multiple named animations (e.g. idle + walk on the same layer).

It's not exactly the same as Aseprite because Manabit does not have 1 timeline for all the layers. It's 1 timeline PER layer. I hope that clears it.

Hello!
Ah I see what you are saying. Automatically no, the app doesn't do that. But manually, yes:

• Switch to the Select tool (W).
• Change the Shape to Wand.
• Make sure Connected is turned off.
• Click the color you want to remove and press DELETE on your keyboard. 
• It will remove that color from the image.

Note: You can also change that color instead of removing it by toggleing on "Replace with color".

hi @Rustbox Games.
Yes just add the folder name followed by a "/" to the Layer Name and it will create folders.

Can you contact me on discord, or create a support ticket there? I will try to help you sort it out.

There are plans for that. We just need a bigger user base first.
However the web version is fully-featured that works on iOS and android!

Hi Manukineko!
You were right, the algorithm was ignoring all frames due to the keyword '[ignore]' on the top-most animation. I fixed this issue, please download and update your extension and try again

Ah I see. I will look into this

Hi Manukineko! 
I added the {FC} keyword that will output the Frame Count to the filename. Please update to the latest version to see that update. Will begin working on the layout options.

Hi , Hihiallo, I wanted to let you know that the frame rate feature has been added. Please update to version 5.6 to see the effects.
