PetBot Updaaaate!
Do we have some news for you! Here comes our latest update, “PetBot”! In short, PetBot received some love, there are some cool new items, and a whole bunch of fixes and optimization. No time to waste, let’s get this canvas going!
PetBot
The PetBot is now more interactive. You can give it pets! You can customize it better! Play ball! Kyndle in Babazone might have something for it too…go ahead and find out!
Canzooka!
Lock and load, time to blast some paint! Indulge in creative chaos with the Canzooka and launch entire paint cans at the canvas. What can go wrong?
Optimizations
Because we like it smooooth. Clean all the paint off with a single tap on a button, get more frames during paint can explosions, and get a bit more frames in general.
Fixes
Just some small stuff. Typos, controls, pesky bugs, that sort of thing.
And that’s it for now! As always, do let us know what you think in the Hub.
Lots of love, go creative!
PS: Here’s the full changelog:
PetBot
- There are rumors about Kyndle opening her own brand of items for PetBot directly in Babazone. Who knows, maybe you will receive an email from her about it?
- You can now pet your Petbot to reward it for being cute.
- A new purchasable PetBot module has been added, allowing you to change the color of PetBot’s eyes and lights.
- You can play ball with PetBot!
- PetBot will react to some things getting broken or exploding near it.
- PetBot should now be a bit easier to paint. Any paint already present on it will likely be altered because of the changes.
- Minor PetBot changes.
Other new items
- The totally safe Canzooka has been added to the shop.
- A new ball has been added to the shop.
Optimization
- A button has been added in the options to clean all the walls, floor, ceiling, etc from paint. This is intended for players who find their game getting laggy after painting too many surfaces and who want to reset the textures without losing the ability to paint them again.
- Spray cans explosions should be a bit less violent for your frame rate.
- A bit of additional optimization for some painted surfaces.
Other Changes
- While painting, you can now freeze the rotation of your brush at any moment.
- Screenshots taken with the camera now have a better definition (x1.5).
- Emails: added a marker on the “Important” emails category if any important email is currently unread or left without an answer.
- Adjusted the volume of some buzzing and humming noises in the studio.
- The delivery system should be more robust now (less likely to get clogged).
- To save everyone’s eyes, the “VR” transition to the gallery is not bright white anymore.
- The glitchy ball got its maximum velocity lowered a bit.
Fixes
- Fixed ray of the Steam cleaner not always rendering properly.
- Holo stencils should not clip through other surfaces as easily, plus some other minor Holo stencils adjustments.
- Fixed one of the palette knives that was not making splashing noises and effects when cleaned in a bucket.
- Fixed some typos and text related issues.
- Fixed controller related options not showing up at the right place (if a controller is detected and used).
- Fixed delivered tool box shelves being smaller than they should, then getting back to their proper size after reloading.
- Fixed could crouch inside the incinerator and activate it.
- Fixed PetBot lights on arms sometimes not displaying properly.
Nominate SuchArt for SIT BACK AND RELAX AWARD
As you may already know, the annual Steam Awards Nomination kicked off yesterday as part of the Steam Autumn Sale — this year it runs Nov 24 - Dec 1, and, as usual, it’s all about picking your favorite (or rather the most suitable) game in each category. There are 10 categories in total, one of which is “SIT BACK AND RELAX AWARD” suggesting you choose a smooth and relaxing game that is “your moment of zen” — and, I mean, isn’t SuchArt just a perfect fit for it?
Of course, we by no means want to drag you into something you don’t want to do yourself: if you have other titles in mind that, in your opinion, would suit this category better, that’s totally fine too! Yet we’d like to emphasize that our call is not something made-up for promotional purposes: each day we get lots of feedback from you, and a large part of your reviews define SuchArt as an outstandingly meditative experience that helps players take their minds off things, relax, and sometimes even deal with mental disorders (such as depression and OCD, for example).
So yep, we’d be really grateful if you could nominate SuchArt for “SIT BACK AND RELAX AWARD” — you can do it here: https://store.steampowered.com/steamawards/nominations/
It’ll take a few seconds of your time and a couple of mouse clicks, so nothing too time or energy-consuming, promise.
What’s in it for you? Well, the nomination can potentially lead to greater visibility, which is always good for the further development of the game. And, of course, even if SuchArt doesn’t win anything, it’ll be a simple token of appreciation extremely pleasant and important for us. And come on, it’s always nice to support the game you enjoy, right?
But remember: no pressure, and may your choice be honest and well-considered.
Anyway, keep making great art, and have a lovely day! <3
Ver. 1.5.0.0 - Graphics Tablet Update
Again, long time no see, but this pause has been justified — we’re coming back with a very handy feature many of you have been looking forward to. Well, okay, there’s probably no point in keeping it a mystery since it’s all in the title, so let’s just make it 100% clear: SuchArt now officially supports graphics tablets, yay!
A few words about tablet support
So, we’ve added tablet support with two different possible behaviours: “Basic” or “Advanced”, to choose according to your preferences. Using a tablet allows for more precise control of your brushes, and supports pressure for most of the tools!
Other changes
- The different MyManager modes (to receive more or less commissions) can now last much longer
- Looking up or down doesn’t slow down your movement anymore
Fixes
- You cannot get your PetBot stuck in the trash compactor anymore!
- Fixed/Improved using some precise brushes could leave a stroke of paint instead of a dot on some specific angles
- Fixed picking paint from palette on a portable paint dispenser was a bit buggy
- Fixed some rare potential crashes
- Minor changes to the keyboard/controller choice popup. This might prevent some issues for some players.
And that’s it for today! Make sure to try using your tablet in SuchArt and share your results and feedback with us. Also, don’t forget about the contest we’re running together with our friends from LEAP Games — that actually might be the perfect occasion to get your tablet out.
Finally, there's a HypeTrain Digital Publisher Sale going on until Nov 8, during which you can grab SuchArt and many other awesome titles with great discounts — go check it out!
And now that’s definitely it, I swear. Have a beautiful day, and may the inspiration be with you!
