The second update for 2018 is here, with the following notable changes:

  • added the names of colors to pop-ups in merchant and during play. Thank you color consultant!
  • we have a new 4th tab of colors, including flesh tones, metals, and royals.
  • took out a lot of superfluous server calls.
  • found another security hole and patched it ;)
  • there is now a "cancel" button when selecting canvas size, meaning you don't always have to start a painting.
  • added a "button pressing animation" to some things in the studio.
  • the "achievements" screen is now called "Career", and has more infomation and several sub-options.
  • UI skins can now be purchased at the crafty merchant, and turned on in the "Career" screen, from the main menu.
  • other new crafty merchant functions are also activated.
  • sound effects have been updated
  • added new steam achievements, for a current total of 96!

On the forums, I mentioned I would try putting the canvas behind the UI during painting. Well, I tried it, and it completely conflicted with the way painting and tool selection work.

Final polish work continues, launch is less than 1 month away!

Bob, NZM
