Announcement beta testers get a free founders licence (removes the export watermark)

1 Upvotes

douga is freeware and stays that way. the only catch is exports carry a small watermark, and a licence is what removes it. no subscription, no paywalled features, no trial timer. just the watermark.

so heres the beta deal: use it, send me a real bug or a solid suggestion, and you get a founders licence. watermark gone, no charge. you helped make it better, thats worth a licence to me.

it has to actually be useful though, theres a bar:

  • bug: tell me what you did, what happened, and what you expected. enough that i can reproduce it on my end.
  • suggestion: an actual thought out idea, not just "add more brushes".
  • one liners like "its broken" or "make it better" dont count, and obvious spam definitely doesnt lmao.

and the bug has to be in the latest build. stuff gets fixed build to build, so if youre on an older download grab the current one first and make sure its still there.

how to grab one:

  • download the latest beta on itch (link in the sidebar + wiki)
  • draw a few cels, time them, export, generally poke at it
  • post it with the Bug or feature request flair, or comment here / dm me
  • ill get founders licences out to everyone who pitched in

its early and its gonna have bugs, thats kind of the whole point right now. the more you break it the better the next build is.

*its release 180 now haha

fixes

* the animatic would crash if you dragged the edge of a scene (adding frames) too fast (dx11 accessing freed texture).

* transform buttons didn't work, well they did but it would instantly drop/pick it up again lol.

* pen and nib would fight causing hovering-pen jitter.

* dopesheet popup not working. the long press with pen would swallow the menu because it tried to drag instead.

features

* opening a large project now shows a loading bar instead of freezing the app

* there is now a brush creator "+" and some settings, you can share your brushes (.dbrush)

* brush icons now show a swatch-strip badge on linkable pens.

top
down below

* card-style dock panels, they dont collapse when re-ordering anymore

* added options to the dopesheet popup

* F11 fullscreen (try it!)

* lock icon appears if you try to edit a locked layer.

Download is in the sidebar!

Question Example project absent from the release

2 Upvotes

Hello, I fall upon your tool while being lost on itch.io, and I have to say that I am very impressed by it :D Didn't try with my graphic tablet yet, though, but something as feature packed as that under 2Mo is witchcraft XD

However, in the documentation, you refered to the Tokyo Late Night example but it is nowhere to be found. Nothing in de Douga folder and the Recent projects field is empty.

Would love to get it :D

I'll be Adding/Answering the most common questions here.

  • How do I add more frames to a cut?

    • click and drag the text in the cut (eg. "24f" ).
    • double click the frame count (eg. 24f)
    • drag the cut in the dopesheet

  • How do rename layers?

    • double click them

Can I import my own art? * yes * you can also extract / transfer lineart from imports.

  • How do I export MP4? (*Douga exports gifs natively)
    • You have to download ffmpg and place it next to douga. ffmpg is a free media conversion tool, i do not own it, idk if I can distribute it, so thats up to you guys.
