[p]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.[/p][p]We just released a demo that lets you experience the first region of the game. I hope you'll consider checking it out and letting us know what you think!

[p]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 clear you painting easel
- Added 3 easel slots accessible via the lever to the right of the easel.
- You can now send gallery paintings to your easel even after you start drawing on them.
- You can now zoom in on other people's finished paintings using the same controls
- On mobile you can now pinch to zoom the canvas.
- You can rotate the canvas while painting with M/N
- From the game build folder You can put custom textures in
DifferentStrokes_Data\\StreamingAssets\\Brushes
and
DifferentStrokes_Data\\StreamingAssets\\Patterns
to use those textures as brushes or paint bucket fill patterns.
you can cycle through them using R
the images must be 64x64 or smaller

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, in paint bucket mode, if you hold Q and then draw a shape, it will fill that shape in with the current pattern.

The big update is still in the works, but I want to get my other game "Kingdom of Night" done before I come back to work seriously on Different Strokes.

It's coming together nicely now. The script has about 100,000 words in it which explains why it's taken so long to finish. Check it out and if it looks like something you'd be interested in, please wishlist it!

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!
