Flipnote.NET

(Some people may know it as FlipnoteDesktop)

Enjoy pure nostalgia of the DSi times with a fan-made PC version of Flipnote Studio.

Overview

Flipnote.NET is a Windows app used to create and view Flipnotes. It packs the original Flipnote Studio features and many other tools which make use of the processing power of a PC into an easy to use interface.

This project is the subject of a 4 years journey with its up- and downsides. It is the work of a not so skilled programmer and it required tens of attempts to design an realize it. In order to save the project that was destined to failure for so many, times, I ultimately decided to trade some cool functionalities I wanted to include for performance and the idea of having a working, though rather barebones flipnote editor app.

Functionalities

These are the features that the app offers (or are on the way to be implemented).

  • ✔️ Import and use static image assets

  • ✔️ Remove assets

  • ✔️ Auto dithering

  • ✔️ Create/Duplicate/Remove frames

  • ✔️ Layer transform (translate/scale/rotate)

  • ✔️ Layer/Frame properties editor

  • ✔️ Undo/Redo

  • ✔️ Single selection

  • ✔️ Remove layers

  • ✔️ Layer Z-order

  • ✔️ Choose palette: Flipnote (3 out of 4 colors), Flipnote3D (6 colors), VGA (16 colors)

  • ✔️ Save/Load projects

  • ⌛ Export feature (MP4/GIF etc)

  • ⌛ Reorder frames

  • ⌛ Export flipnote animation

  • ⌛ Custom palette

  • ⌛ Free draw

  • ⌛ Automatic transform over multiple frames

  • ⌛ ...? (Open an issue if you want to request a feature)

Due to various reasons, the following features will not be considered to be included in the app:

  • Load/Edit original flipnote formats.
  • Export to original flipnote formats.
  • Online services integration (Flipnote Hatena clones/replacements).
