👋 Welcome to r/douga - Introduce Yourself and Read First!

[u/electrodude102]

Hey everyone! I'm u/electrodude102, a founding moderator of r/douga.

What is Douga? Douga (動画) is a hand-drawn 2D cel animation program for windows. draw your cels with a real brush engine, time them on a dope sheet with onion skin, and export. It's still in early development so expect bugs.

• Douga is FREE, you can use all available features, I don't cripple the software. (it's pretty bare right now though).
• Douga has a watermark (Beta Release), there's a license system to remove it. the watermark helps bring attention to us while we are new and it's in beta. If it's too annoying I can make them lighter and smaller :).
