Pixscape Studio Free 0.2.0 — First Open Source Release

Pixscape Studio Free is now open source under the Apache License 2.0.

This is the first public open-source release of the Pixscape editor. The runtime was already open source; now the Studio Free code is public too.

Pixscape Studio Free is not a trial version. It is the open-source foundation of Pixscape: developers can inspect it, build it, modify it, fork it if necessary, and use it to create real games, including commercial games.

No Pixscape royalties.
No runtime fees.
No hidden export fees.

Pixscape Studio Free exports projects for Pixscape Runtime, which is also open source under Apache 2.0.

Highlights

  • Open-source 2D visual editor for LibGDX and Pixscape Runtime
  • Scene-based workflow
  • Sprite and animation editing
  • Orthographic and isometric tiled maps
  • 2.5D spatial ordering
  • Prefab authoring
  • Box2D physics editing
  • Shader, light, and particle workflows
  • Desktop, Android, and HTML5/WebGL2 export pipeline
  • Runtime dependency updated to Pixscape Runtime 0.1.7

Requirements

Pixscape Studio Free requires Java 21.

Pixscape Runtime 0.1.7 is published with Java 8-compatible bytecode for broader LibGDX ecosystem compatibility.

Project direction

Pixscape Free is the foundation. Pixscape Pro will be a separate optional edition focused on advanced production tools, helping fund long-term development without replacing or weakening Studio Free.
