Fixed some little bugs. Added option to hold shift while creating or adjusting segments to escape the snap to grid.
Little changes: - Scooch will move only selected segments, or all segments if none are selected. - Apply colors sequentially can now be either done in the order they were selected, or their distance from the center point - Community Hub buttons now truncate extra long titles.
SEGMENT GROUPS If you have selected any segments, and you want to remember that groups, you can press CONTROL + 1,2,3 or 4. Recall the group by pressing SHIFT + that same number. Made some other little changes... the info panel doesn't close if you drag the mouse outside the wind
GRADIENTS Gradients have come to Zen Trails! Wooooooooo! It's true. The segment info panel got a little rearranging, now with a new button called "Switch to gradient". It's a toggle for switching between gradient and single color. By default all segments are single color, as grad
So one of my favorite things to do when making spirographic masterpieces is to make some cool-looking design, then copy and past it a bajillion times while shrinking each recursion. It can make some really trippy art but the problem, as always, was that it was a tedious nightmare
The Steam Workshop integration is finally here! I've always wanted a way to download and upload designs, and while being 100% dependent on the Steam Workshop for that to happen isn't ideal, it's a start! The Inspiration panel has gotten a major upgrade. The lightbulb button now o
SEQUENTIAL COLORING SO. The other day I was making a sexy design and found myself tediously trying to create a gradient of colors across multiple segments. I did not enjoy that. I don't like doing work that a computer should be doing for me. As a result, Zen Trails now has a hand
Fixed a bug causing jittering and moving when copying tiny segments. Added an option to disable vignette effect.
You can now draw a box with the mouse to select a group of segments and edit them exclusively. You can also add or remove segments while holding shift and clicking on them. I've been wanting this feature for a while and a few people have mentioned it. I've just been putting it of
So in my eternal quest to make digital spirography both fun and accessible, I've been trying to come up with helpful tools to allow users to make designs that are more complex and interesting without needing to know the nitty gritty math. You may remember the recent addition of t
TUTORIAL OVERHAUL In preparation for the iOS release of ZenTrails, I thought it was time to revisit the tutorial. In having my friends and family play the game, the main bit of feedback I got was that they wanted more explanation on how to make aesthetic designs. After all, not e
So I was working on making a cool promo video for Zen Trails featuring some complex designs, and I noticed that the framerate really starts to suffer if I get too many segments on screen at once. This struck me as weird cause they're just lines and dots, and not even moving. I me
I've made two new tracks for Zen Trails. They're called "Dreams" and "Space". I really hope you're enjoying the music in-game. It's always mute-able if it gets too annoying ;)
I've been busy! Here's a list of all the fun stuff I've been working on, and I've made some new music which will be added in a day or two here. The Inspiration Panel is drastically improved . Lots of new presets made by me and a few very helpful community members. It's now a butt
I've gotten a lot of requests for this and it makes sense. But it's not just a custom palette, there's presets! Made by me! If you open any color picker, like on a segment or the settings panel for example, you'll see the palette as well as a button to select a preset. These pres
Hello lovely people. First of all, I can't thank you all enough for playing my game. It validates my existence. UNDO / REDO I've been listening to your feedback! And now I have a fresh new undo system in place, and not only that, but a fancy schmancy REDO system as well! So, if y
In this update, there's a new slider added to the segment info panel called "GLOW". If it's set to anything other than zero, the trail will emit a beautiful glow when sequencing. Here's some things to consider: 1. This increases the brightness of a trail, which in computer-speak
There's now an input field in the "MORE" tab of a segment's info panel called "Layer Order" which will determine what line goes on top if two or more lines cross over each other. The highest number wins. By default they're all set to 1 so I guess the computer just picks its favor
Now if you open the save menu and hover over the save file that you hate the most, a cute little trash can button will appear on the right side of it. Click it and confirm, and you'll never hear from it ever again.
Simply click on the "Themes" button, then click on "Simple" which will give you a plain grey-ish background, and a color picker will open up allowing you to change it to whatever color your heart desires.
