Game update

Tablets are now supported

All news Players around this date Read on Steam

Game-breaking bugs should mostly be solved (no more errors on loading, hopefully), so unless new critical things pop up, I will now be implementing quality-of-life improvements and your feature requests.

Version 0.23 (restart Steam to get the update) brings:

Better tablet support.
Right-click erases pixels.
Brush size shortcuts are now +/- (like Aseprite).
Change brush size with ctrl + mouse scroll.
Loading percentage indicator (if loading takes more than a few seconds).

As always, report any bugs in the Steam discussions or on my Discord. Pixel Art Academy is a daunting piece of software to test thoroughly on my own, so I really appreciate your help (and patience) with any bugs that pop up during Early Access.

Cheers!
