[h2]New Features[/h2]

• Added support for the Advent 2 book.
  
• Coloring Pixels now remembers your last open book. - So when you come to play the game next you can pick up exactly where you left off!
  
• Added new Advent Specific Setting "Keep Old Advent Books Unlocked" - By default, old advent books will lock themselves and restart their daily unlocking cycle in the month of December. But with this setting enabled, advent books from previous years will always remain unlocked and playable. We wanted to continue to give people the excitement of completing each level as they are unlocked each day but didn't want to stop giving people access to content that they have paid for. We hope that this setting is a good compromise (>'o')>
  
• Added new "UI Scale" setting - (default set to 1x)
  

[h2]Bug Fixes and Misc[/h2]

• Small bug fix for Discord Rich Presence, books with a space in them now show correctly. Instead of showing "Book1", it will display "Book 1" for example.
  
• Renamed the "Advent" Book to "Advent 1".
  
• Added better level names to the Advent 1 book.
  
• Starting to drag from the UI no longer colors in pixels.
  
• Discord suggestion: "New Game+" button is now the colour of the next new game plus level.
  

It has been over 2 months since our big transition to working full time to provide bigger and better content for you, and we want to say a big thank you to everyone who has been active in our growing communities!

With the extra work hours available to us due to working full time, we have had the opportunity to include you guys and give you a look behind the scenes!

For anyone looking to get more involved with our community for Coloring Pixels as well as new secret projects, here is a recap on what we now offer alongside our games!


[h2]Discord[/h2]
That's right! We have an active, friendly community Discord server! Both of us on the Dev team are active in the Discord so it's a place to get the chance to chat to us, a great place to hang out with other Coloring Pixels fans and a good place to get first-hand news!

[h2]YouTube[/h2]
We wanted to document our progress in the office and so we started a weekly Dev Blog video series. We thought it would be a fun side project and a good way to be able to recap anything we have done. What we didn't expect was the overwhelming support and traction! Thanks to everyone who has kept up with us for the past 2 months. See the most recent video below and visit the channel to view our full playlist!

[h2]Patreon[/h2]
You guys are the kindest, most supportive group of players we could wish for. Overwhelming support and requests from the community led to us starting a Patreon. If you want to help out just a little bit more, now you can! We offer small rewards for now, such as credits in the YouTube videos and in-game, as well as 24 hours early viewing of the YouTube dev blog. In the future, we will also provide the opportunity to have your say on what direction to take Coloring Pixels.

All of this is optional and we are more than happy to continue our work without any Patreon support so please don't worry that you need to help out! Simply playing our games and reading our posts is more than enough support, so thank you!

If you do feel like getting involved, feel free to check out our Patreon!

[h2]Coloring Pixels V1.15.2[/h2]

[h3]New Features[/h3]

• Added a slider to control the speed of panning around levels with the keyboard. - In v1.15.1 we fixed a bug where moving around levels was much faster than intended. It turns out that some of you liked that speed, so we are adding this slider to give you all the option to go faster if you wish :)
  
• Added credits to the settings page - We recently set up a Patreon, for those who wish to support us even more than just buying and playing our games. One of the rewards is to have your name immortalized in the credits of our games! We didn't have credits in Coloring Pixels, so we thought it best to add one.
  
• Hide Level Names and Images is now two separate settings - When enabled, this setting obfuscates the level image and name until you complete the level (to avoid spoilers). As requested by the community, this has been split into two separate settings to give you more control. So now you can choose to only hide the image and keep the level names visible for example. Anyone who had the setting enabled prior to this update will automatically have both enabled, so shouldn't notice any difference.
  

[h3]Bug Fixes and Misc[/h3]

• Bug fixes for the upcoming Halloween 2 book.
  
• Fixed a bug where restarting a level with New Game Plus would cause it to scroll you down to the bottom of the book in the main menu (instead of remembering where you were).
  
• Fixed a bug where music would start playing when launching Coloring Pixels with the music volume set to 0.
  
• Removed the "Your Art" button from the main menu.
