Since long before we created Different Strokes I have been working on a large story-heavy action RPG called Kingdom of Night with another team. We significantly underestimated just how long it would take to build out a game like this. The game has about 90,000 words of dialogue, tens of thousands of sprites, and a 70 song soundtrack. We just released a demo that lets you experience the first re…
We've made lots of little changes to the game over the last year. Here's a summary: - On mobile web/Android there's a "keyboard controls" button that lets you use certain features that previously only worked via keyboard shortcuts. - Added a sword for slashing 3D objects (press C to slash, M/N to rotate) Deluxe Only: - Pen pressure should work correctly with more tablets now. - You can now clea…
Hey all, Just wanted to officially announce a feature that's been in the game for a while now, but I was planning to wait until the big update to announce it. If you have the Deluxe Edition, when you're in paint bucket mode (G) if you press R or T it will cycle through a list of patterns. Wherever you click will be filled with that pattern. There's also a checkbox to invert the pattern. Finally…
We're preparing for a major update to the game and are planning to do a big marketing push to get the game in front of more people. No release date yet, but it's coming. If you want to hear about new features before the release, join the Discord and come say hi!
It's now possible to zoom into the canvas for more fine detail work. To zoom hold ALT on the keyboard and use the mouse scroll wheel. Alternatively hold ALT and press the [ or ] keys. When zoomed in you can use the arrow keys, or hold the cursor on the edge of the screen to move the view around. The web version mobile controls are improved and allow you move and look around at the same time. We…
The web version of the game now supports touch controls, so if you have a fairly recent Android/iOS device you should be able to load it up, walk around the gallery and paint using the touchscreen. Touch the left side of the screen to move and the right side to look around. The web version doesn't support Steam login so you'll have to create a non-steam account in the game if you want to be log…
The Deluxe Edition is half off for the Steam Summer Sale! Changes since the last update: · You no longer have to hold shift to run, you just run all the time now. · If you right click, or alt+click on a canvas while painting, it will change to the color under your cursor (eyedropper tool) · Straight Line Tool (Deluxe Edition Only). If you hold shift before you begin a line it will draw a straig…

The top 6 paintings from the Gallery of the Week, appear in the main game around the GotW portal. · Added a "controls" page to the pause menu describing all the keyboard controls. · The 0-6 keys can now be used to toggle through all the colors (see controls page) · Added UI pieces to indicate the currently selected color when using the Brush or Paint Bucket tool. · Made the server faster again…
Changes since the last update: · Steam achievements! · Significant server performance improvements. · In the pause menu there is now a "Graphics Settings" button, which takes you to a new screen where you can set the game's resolution. · Added a little text to the bottom of the painting UI to indicate the gallery of the week theme if you're in the gallery of the week. · Added a confirm yes/no s…
In the pause menu there is now a checkbox for "Dark Mode" which makes most of the 3D models in the game black instead of white. This should hopefully help reduce eye strain. · There is now a "restart" button in the pause menu which restarts the gallery and updates your "my likes", "my paintings" and the notification icon in the upper right corner of the login kiosk. · When logged in, the login…
