Theory lessons update

Pixel Art Academy: Learn Mode · published 27 Sep 2024, 12:27 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

TL;DR:

  • 2 new Pixel art diagonals lessons.
  • 3 new Pixel art curves lessons.
  • UI indicators where to click in various tutorials.


It's finally time for the first content update! There's been a bunch of bug fixes and urgent tweaks in the first month, but version 0.25 now brings actual new lessons based on your feedback.

I completely replaced the diagonals evaluation lesson and broke it down into two much more digestible parts.

To have a better learning curve on the curves tutorial, I put 3 extra lessons before Line art cleanup so that you get introduced to each of the Smooth curves criteria individually before having to apply them yourself.

Finally, the pixel art evaluation tutorials use a new feature where I can (subtly) point to different parts of the interface to make it easier to progress. Apologies to everyone who got stuck figuring out where to click and hover on the evaluation paper!
