I have three pieces of news for you: two good ones and a bad one.
Good News No.1:
You’ve probably already noticed that one major problem has been identified since the game was released. It’s a considerable performance slowdown when the number of pixels in the workspace is more than 5,000.
For example, if the screen resolution is 1920x1080, the workspace for the minimal scale is 108x96 = 10,360px, which produces a rather perceptible delay when trying to change colors or perform scrolling.
This problem doesn’t allow playing comfortably:
on screens with high resolution;
with the minimal scale;
on low-end video cards and laptops.
Technical quality of the game is the priority task for me, and that is why I’ve decided to make a major refactoring of the game code.
I’m planning to finish it in 3-4 days’ time and then release the 1.1.0 update.
Bad News:
Due to the necessity to redesign the game code for the 1.1.0 update, the DLC release is postponed for a week and is going to take place on May 3.
That gives you some extra time to save money for the purchase of the DLC, though ːsteamhappyː
The base price of the DLC is $4.99.
Good News No.2 (compensation for the postponement of the DLC release date):
On April 26-27 the 1.1.1 update is going to be released, which will feature 5 new images for the base game.
Update 1.0.2.1 +50000px
Added three new levels.
Fixed incorrect work of the right mouse button after update 1.0.2.
Unforgettable to subscribe and follow the news.
Update 1.0.2
In this update we’ve added:
indication of saving;
game progress saving by pressing F5 key;
support of a pen;
scrollbar;
scaling icons.
The owners of the top video cards have faced some game stability problems. I suppose that this may be caused by the version of the game engine, so I’ve updated the game engine to the latest version.
The release of the first commercial DLC for this game is postponed for several days and is going to take place on April 26.
Unfortunately, due to the necessity to solve game malfunction problems, it wasn’t possible to include three new levels in this update. I simply didn’t have enough time to animate and prepare the images for the publication.
The new levels are going to be added in an off-schedule update 1.0.2.1. (April 20-21).
Update 1.0.1
Added by:
Autosave function, triggered after filling 1000px.
The lock mode of the already painted cell.
The function of checking the completion of levels by the presence of achievements.
2 new levels (+2 achievements).
The next update will tentatively be released April 18-19. It will be added 3 more levels.
