picoCAD 2 in development
First off - massive thanks to everyone who has supported this project. It has been pure joy seeing it from my own little project to something that is used daily all over the world.
For that very reason I am today announcing picoCAD 2! Powered by Love2D instead of pico8 it packs a serious punch for all your lowpoly and 3d pixelart needs. Here are some highlights:
🚀 No Project Limit
No more hitting walls — create as much as you like (or your computer can cope with).
🖼️ Built-in Texture Editor
Draw pixel art and see your model update in real time. No more switching tools.
🎨 Palette Editor
Customize the colors and how they behave with picoCAD’s unique shading system.
🗂️ Visibility & Organization
Neatly organize large projects with folders, visibility toggles, and more.
🖥️ Refined Interface
Now running at glorious 192×192 pixels — better layouts, better fonts, more clarity.
I need your help!
To make sure this new era of lowpoly modelling takes off in the best possible way, please add your wishlist to the Steam page: https://s.team/a/3675940
As mentioned, this will be released on itch.io as well, but the more traction I can get on Steam the better. Thank you! ❤️
Take care and keep the models tiny.

Awesome! This will make my current project so much easier! I posted in the Discord some questions and if there are any tester positions left. If the release goes well, any future improvements you hope to get to add in post release?
I will admit I think this would be a perfect Touch Device modeller! For iPad or Tablets on the go.
Would love to to post-release updates with both QoL as well as new features. Depends a lot on what it is used for and how it sells though
Is this meant to like replace picocad 1 or are they both their own thing? like if I buy picocad 2 can I still use picocad 1. I don't own it, that's why I'm asking, should I wait for picocad 2 or buy the first one?
picoCAD 2 will be able to do everything the original can.
I'm guessing Picocad 2 is designed to be used for projects in Picotron since it doesn't have the limitations of Pico-8. I'll be buying Picocad 1 soon!
Awesome! :D
picoCAD 2 hos nothing to do with Picotron, you can use it for whatever you want :)
