Coloring Pixels News

Apologies but we have encountered a couple of unforeseen problems with the new book. Because of this, the book will be delayed by a couple of days. Apologies for this delay but we just wanted to make sure that the book is up to our standards and does good justice to the hard work of the competition winners.
New Features

• Steam Achievements - We have altered our Achievement triggering process. You now must own a DLC to unlock its achievements from the main menu. (Some users were stealing the save files and harassing others for theirs)
  

Bug Fixes & Misc

• Fixed a bug where the audio volume would only be set after opening the settings menu.
  
• Fixed a bug where the volume button had some of the hint menu option text above it.
  
• Altered the “Community” book menu image to “Community I”.
  

Quick reminder of our lesser patch last week.
Bug Fixes & Misc

• Removed the “Your Art” button.
  
• Monsters Pack Fixes (pre-launch)

In this update we have taken the time to go back and improve some of the longest standing features of Coloring Pixels.
New Features

• Added a seasonal message - When an in game seasonal effect is running (and enabled) there will now be a message to greet you on the main menu screen. This is to give you guys some awareness of the event before you start to color. It can be disabled by deselecting the seasonal effects option in the settings menu.
  
• Dark mode improvements - Dark mode now affects the main menu.
  

Bug Fixes and Misc

• Settings menu improvements.
  
  • You can now scroll (using mouse scroll wheel) anywhere on the settings page. Previously you had to have the mouse at the side of the page for this to work properly.
    
  • Clicking and dragging on a button no longer presses the button. You must click or tap the button to interact with it.
    
• Fixed an issue where you couldn’t color any pixels at the bottom of the screen.
  
• Improved responsiveness for clicking and dragging when playing on high graphics settings.
  
• Improved touch controls.
  
  • Reduced time for touch hold and color input.
    
  • Added a touch and hold animation.
    
  • Coloring by touching and holding is now much more responsive and will skip over pixels less frequently.
