Super Sketch Bob News

Hi, Super Sketchers! Got a fresh update for you this week with a few minor fixes and a big'un.

• Object preview ghost is now enabled by default and can be disabled in the Modifiers menu at any time.
  
• Trampolines now bounce you just a little bit higher to make a bigger difference between them and regular jumps.
  
• Bridges can now be placed while standing on the ground. Not sure why you'd want to do that, but... you can now.
  
• Trampolines bounce you as soon as you touch 'em. Makes them more useful.
  
• Fixed an issue where you'd still be wearing costumes if you died after getting them, but it still didn't count as you having collected them and only if you loaded a level from the map with an active save file. That was a weird one.
  
• Removed Herobrine.
  

After we migrated the Super Sketch Framework from the older version of our engine we were using to the new version, a lot of new bugs got introduced. We've been working on squashing them as we find them, but some just don't show up on our systems, but do on yours.

For this update, we'd like to thank Romulus (@romulusofficial.bsky.social) for reporting a fair chunk of the issues we were able to fix. Thanks, dude!

As always, if you find any issue, please let us know so we can fix them! You can email us at [email protected] or hit us up on Bluesky @waywardthoughts.games or our director at [email protected]. We appreciate the chance to fix any issues in a game we spent ten years making, so it's GONNA have a *few* bugs, lol.

Bug Fixes:

• Realigned Time Trial UI to look nicer/not wrong.
  
• Fixed the alignment of text on the map screen.
  
• Fixed an issue where respawning straight didn't work on 2-4.
  
• Fixed an issue with two of the level exits softlocking the game.
  
• Fixed an issue with one of the level exits softlocking you in the area exit for 3-Boss for some players.
  
• Removed Herobrine.
  

Patch Notes:
-Fixed an issue where the Steam overlay failed to show properly in some cases.
-Fixed the alignment of some text and menu items.
-The game will now pause if you open the Steam overlay.
-The game will now hide the mouse cursor if you are using a controller.
-Fixed goalpost level exits showing above the ground tiles in some instances.
-Cleaned up the costume closet. Stuff is easier to find now.
-Shortened tutorial message time on maps.
-Fixed an issue in 4-1 where you could trigger a dash pad improperly.
-Added support for Cross/Link (Coming soon!)

We're proud to announce that Super Sketch Bob is fully playable on Steam Deck natively using Proton!

Be sure to select Proton 9.0-3 or higher. Controller support is best handled using the official Steam Deck controller profile for Steam Input which uses the keyboard controls and button prompts at this time, but does fully support input and gameplay.

This should also include save game transfers via Steam Cloud and dynamic sync, so your progress will be saved when you suspend the system as long as you're connected to the internet when you do.

Happy Sketching!

-Fixed a few minor bugs.
-Updated the Steam UI so it displays properly!
-Added 3 new costumes you can't unlock QUITE yet! (stay tuned!)
