Released SpritePile (Sprite Stacking Tool) [Now with 3D]

Inspired by similar software and pixel art tools, SpritePile is an attempt at creating the very best tool to create... Sprite Stacks! It was developed for use with primarily 2D games but there may one day be 3D functionality.

I created this software while developing my own game which uses sprite stacks and found myself disappointed with the tools available to me. This was designed to do everything I felt was missing from other programs... and to do it better.

I'll be continuing to work on SpritePile whilst working on my game project so there is no fear that this will become a dead project. It's also worth noting that I work full-time as a game dev so I'm not going anywhere :)
