Happy Saturday, Super Sketchers! I come bearing news both good and bad.
The good news is that Super Sketch Bob is officially now using a shiny new framework that will run better than ever! The bad news is that we had to switch due to circumstances well beyond our control as the framework the game used to run on, nw.js, is now depreciated. As a result, savegame files from Version 1.0.x versions of the game are not compatible with newer versions.
This sucks. We get it.
But silver lining? You can now play the game with better performance, upgraded physics, and a ton of bug fixes to make everything run much more smoothly. If you ever had issues with collision physics when bopping enemies before, those should now be fixed permanently.
Additionally, we've improved Cross/Link compatibility with Frip and Froop's Logical Labyrinth DX and our currently in development third game, so look forward to that.
We're also implementing a special "Thank You, We're Sorry" program for anyone whose Super Sketch Save Data was lost during this transition. For the entire month of April 2025, if you send an email to [email protected] with a screenshot of Super Sketch Bob in your Steam library, we'll give you access to our Discord server at the Deep Thinker level for one year absolutely free (a $120 value!)! This gives you access to a ton of cool perks like:
-Updated SSB to new framework. So long, nw.js and thanks for all the fish!
-Removed echo to fix sounds not playing.
-Fixed issues with ceiling crushers softlocking you or forcing you out of bounds when environmental deaths are off.
-Fixed Gullybirds not showing up correctly after you die on 3-4.
-Fixed Angry Stompers sound playing more than once.
-Bee wings now appear on Bob in the Costume Closet.
-Bee wings work correctly when Bob gets squished with environmental deaths off.
-Cross/Link Costumes menu item is visible again.
-Liz and the Samurai Outfit now have the correct walk animation on the map.
-Improved enemy bop logic.
-Updated Cross/Link.
-You can now cheese the challenge on Gullybird Shoal because why not?
-Removed Herobrine.
