Hi all!
A few weeks ago I wrote a short guide-article on *everything* you need to know to start using Godot Engine for pixel art games.
I know a lot of people prefer to use Game Maker for this type of game, but I think it does not cost anything to know other tools, especially since Godot Engine is better than Game Maker in many ways, like usability and scalability (and it's free and open-source).
The article was published on Medium: https://medium.com/@tumeowilliam/godot-engine-and-pixel-art-a-better-love-story-...
I hope this is helpful to someone.
