Software / Graphics & Design →Subchrist Software CharPAD C64 Pro 3.40

The program accurately simulates the C64's video formats and allows you to comfortably design character sets, tiles, fonts and maps for 2D video games and demos.
You can start a project from scratch using the built-in freehand painting tools or import and convert any existing bitmap image into a C64 compatible tile map using various tile sizes from 1 x 1 up to 10 x 10 characters (100 different sizes).
CharPad C64 has been in development since 2003 and has been widely considered an essential weapon in modern C64 game development ever since.
CharPad C64 Pro is an evolution of the original CharPad tool that contains useful additional features, many of which have been commissioned by Thalamus Digital Publishing during the latter half of 2019 to assist in the development of their own games.
