We have been dealing with work capacity challenges and staff vacations over the past couple of weeks, which is why there are no significant updates alongside this DLC launch, but do not be concerned that we are neglecting your feedback; we have a list of tasks for us to fix and add to Coloring Voxels to make your play even more enjoyable.[/p][p][/p][p]In no particular order, here are some of the things we are working on:[/p]

1. [p]Performance improvements and/or overhaul for the Underwater World.[/p]
2. [p]"Difficulty" pop-up for when you first launch the game to help those who find the game too easy and don't want to have to check settings each update.[/p]
3. [p]More camera controls and settings.[/p]
4. [p]Fixes to the hotbar scrolling and 3-digit number selection.[/p]
5. [p]Hint options to add more hints or turn them all off.[/p]
6. [p]Controls page (eventually, possibly, key rebinding).[/p]
7. [p]Easier Main Menu navigation.[/p]
8. [p]Dark Mode.[/p]
9. [p]Unlocked completed voxels to make the game harder.[/p]
10. [p]Extra Play modes and commendations.[/p]

[p][/p][p]This list isn't extensive, but it does cover a lot of the highly requested features and fixes - we are committing to addressing all of the feedback we've received and aim to get these into the game as quickly and efficiently as we can. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

[p]Continuing with taking your feedback on board, Rob is back from his vacation and has fixed a long list of issues!

• [p]Achievements have now been localised into all languages supported by the game.[/p]
• [p]Updated Credits to include new Patreon supporters.[/p]
• [p]In the main menu, you can now scroll up to the height of the world when you haven't completed any levels.[/p]
• [p]Adjusted the properties of the water in the underwater world to be less reflective.[/p]
• [p]Changed the Eraser tooltip from "Remove Voxels" to "Eraser".[/p]
• [p]The main menu view/hide button that appears on completed levels now changes to a closed eye Icon when in its hidden state. This should make it easier to understand what the button is currently doing on worlds where it is hard to see the color change, like Medieval and Arcade.[/p]
• [p]Fixed an issue where the view/hide button would allow you to see into neighbouring levels.[/p]
• [p]Fixed several issues with materials that should cause voxels to change shape but weren't.[/p]
• [p]Fixes to the main menu world viewer to make rendering materials with some movement to create gaps in the world. This fix also addresses the issues where you could see through the rails in the City world.[/p]
• [p]Small adjustment to the water in the Medieval world so that it wouldn't glow in the dark.[/p]
• [p]More localisation changes from the community localisation spreadsheet. We made sure to pay particular attention to French after some were missed in the last update.[/p]
• [p]Added transparency to the smoke particle effect found in the Medieval Blacksmith level so that you can see the voxels to colour in from above a little better.[/p]
• [p]The tops of the flowers in the Medieval Path level now have the correct materials set.[/p]
• [p]The Cauldron's water in the Dungeon world now has the correct colours set.[/p]

[p]This Computer world unlocks 16 additional levels for Coloring Voxels. Each level is a part of a computer tower, scaled up to see the full detail in this voxel world![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Grab your mini screwdrivers and ground yourself before playing![/p][p]Available for $1.99, £1.69 (or your regional equivalent).[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][h2]V1.4.8 Patch Notes [/h2][h3]New Features [/h3]

• [p]Added Computer World.[/p]
• [p]Added promo menu for DLCs that aren't unlocked.[/p]
• [p]The world's total new game plus colours are now reflected in both the world select buttons to the left of the main menu and in the pedestal in the level select.
  [/p]

[h3] Bug Fixes and Misc [/h3]

• [p]Changed the colours for the completed level select card, which makes it more obvious which levels are complete.[/p]
• [p]The default pedestal colour is now grey by default as part of the new game plus additions.,[/p]
• [p]Patreon Credits have been updated.[/p]
• [p]The City world has had a couple of levels moved around to make things symmetrical.[/p]
• [p]Fixed a bug where some UI elements in the main menu would spill over onto the world select buttons if you had a portrait aspect ratio.[/p]
• [p]Fix for the selected items in the scrolling UI that frequently scroll in the wrong direction. Now, if you select an item in a scroll bar, it should shift it so that it is visible. This will be most noticeable when playing on levels with large numbers of layers or with high colour counts.[/p]
• [p]Updated the localisation for various languages with help from our amazing Community. [/p]

[p]In this update, we wanted to focus on some fairly large under-the-hood changes to tackle some of the more highly requested changes people have been asking for. [/p]

1. [p]Firstly, we have some fairly large performance gains with this patch; we still can do better and intend to, but hopefully this patch will help considerably. [/p]
2. [p]Secondly, we wanted to add the highly requested Color Lock setting that players of Coloring Pixels love. This was a nightmare to implement which is why didn’t launch with it. Long story short but this game isn’t as simple as applying a colour to a square like its predecessor, we have much more complicated shaders and materials to consider. The result though is very satisfying and I think a couple of us in the office will be playing with this setting when playing. We highly recommend you have a go with this setting disabled to see what it feels like![/p]

[p]I have to give a huge thank you to all of you are supporting us during this launch week. For just 7 days after launch, the game looks and feels completely different than it did a week ago. Thank you all for the feedback and keep it coming Coloring Voxels v1.3.3 Patch Notes[h2]New Features[/h2]

• [p]New setting "Color Lock" (default on) - A popular request from the Coloring Pixels players. When disabled, you can make mistakes! The colour you have selected will colour in any cube, regardless of whether it is in the correct position or not.[/p]
• [p]The main menu now supports more than 7 worlds.[/p]

[h2]Bug Fixes and Misc [/h2]

• [p]Fixed dozens of issues with materials, including: [/p]
  • [p]Fixed an issue where the animals in the volcano world had red eyes.[/p]
  • [p]Fixed an issue where many City materials we set to yellow.[/p]
  • [p]Fixed several colours in the Arcade Dance machine level.[/p]
  • [p]Fixed some materials in the Planitarium Space Elevator level.[/p]
• [p]Fixed a graphical bug where materials that have movement or are larger than normal were set to normal scale.[/p]
• [p]The scrolling script for the layer select, color palette, and the new additions to the main menu has undergone a complete rewrite. The result should behave much more reliably and not jump around when changing between colours and layers.[/p]
• [p]Fixed an issue with the Arch level in the Underwater world, which caused it to be unplayable.[/p]
• [p]Fixed a behind-the-scenes bug that allowed people to load up older versions of levels that have changed. This has been most noticeable in underwater levels, which would sometimes give people levels without water or have the water black. As we originally intended, people who have save files in these older versions of levels will be able to load back into the older version, but if you new game plus or delete your save, the next time you load in, it will be with the most up-to-date version. We were hoping this feature would never really affect anyone, but it allows us to make changes to levels and for it not to affect anyone's saves.[/p]
• [p]Credits have been updated.[/p]
• [p]Major performance improvements for large levels. Standing FPS should be noticeably higher.[/p]
• [p]Major performance improvements when colouring in.[/p]
• [p]Fixed a bug where loading into a level in progress would sometimes cause the numbers to not face the correct way.[/p]

[p][/p][p]As you know from some of our previous posts. Our monthly content release DLC schedule begins next week! Suggested and chosen by our Discord and Patreon members, the Computer PC will be the first of many new worlds to come! This world will feature one very large gaming PC that you can build yourself one part at a time... and yes, there will be RGB.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p]
