Happy Saturday, Super Sketchers! I come bearing news both good and bad.


The good news is that Super Sketch Bob is officially now using a shiny new framework that will run better than ever! The bad news is that we had to switch due to circumstances well beyond our control as the framework the game used to run on, nw.js, is now depreciated. As a result, savegame files from Version 1.0.x versions of the game are not compatible with newer versions.

This sucks. We get it.

But silver lining? You can now play the game with better performance, upgraded physics, and a ton of bug fixes to make everything run much more smoothly. If you ever had issues with collision physics when bopping enemies before, those should now be fixed permanently.

Additionally, we've improved Cross/Link compatibility with Frip and Froop's Logical Labyrinth DX and our currently in development third game, so look forward to that.


We're also implementing a special "Thank You, We're Sorry" program for anyone whose Super Sketch Save Data was lost during this transition. For the entire month of April 2025, if you send an email to [email protected] with a screenshot of Super Sketch Bob in your Steam library, we'll give you access to our Discord server at the Deep Thinker level for one year absolutely free (a $120 value!)! This gives you access to a ton of cool perks like:

• An exclusive Discord role where you can see development of my next game.
  
• One free Steam key for either of my already-released titles.
  
• Beta access to my next game on Steam Early Access.
  
• Watch and participate in bi-monthly development, Q&A, and liveplay streams with priority for questions in Q&As.
  
• Your name in the credits of my next game.
  
• Behind-the-scenes content from Super Sketch Bob and Logical Labyrinth DX.
  

-Updated SSB to new framework. So long, nw.js and thanks for all the fish!
-Removed echo to fix sounds not playing.
-Fixed issues with ceiling crushers softlocking you or forcing you out of bounds when environmental deaths are off.
-Fixed Gullybirds not showing up correctly after you die on 3-4.
-Fixed Angry Stompers sound playing more than once.
-Bee wings now appear on Bob in the Costume Closet.
-Bee wings work correctly when Bob gets squished with environmental deaths off.
-Cross/Link Costumes menu item is visible again.
-Liz and the Samurai Outfit now have the correct walk animation on the map.
-Improved enemy bop logic.
-Updated Cross/Link.
-You can now cheese the challenge on Gullybird Shoal because why not?
-Removed Herobrine.

Yeah, okay. World 2 was a bit of a difficulty jump, huh? I've tried to fix that.

• 2-1: Cactus Gulch - Now with 30% less cacti!
  
• 2-3: The Ancient Pyramid - Now with 100% less out-of-bounds softlocks!
  
• 2-Boss: The Sandworm's Chamber - Now with 20% less bats, more Pencil Powerups, and some obstacle adjustments.
  

Our Super Sketch Journey continues. Please keep the feedback coming!
