Hey there, it’s us again.

Last time, we added three cards. This time, things got a little out of hand: eleven new cards across three more unlockable packs, bringing the collection to twenty.

Some change how you draw. Others wait until you are done. And one lets you quietly trade your entire drawing problem with somebody else.

We are also adding 27 new Steam achievements. From your first drawing to your fiftieth party, there are more goals to chase along the way.

Three new ways to draw

The second pack makes you rethink the tools you normally take for granted:

Eraser Only fills the canvas with your two colors. Your eraser is now your drawing tool.
Pixelated turns your finished drawing into chunky pixels before the others see it.
Ink Tank gives both colors and the eraser one shared, limited supply. Make it count.

A little less room for mistakes

The third pack gets in the way while you are drawing:

Spotlight keeps the canvas dark while a large pool of light slowly moves across it.
Only One Line gives you one continuous stroke. Once you lift your finger, you are done. Very short accidental strokes reset automatically.
Forbidden Zones adds hatched patches that cannot be drawn on or erased. Work around them.
Starter Doodle puts a few purple doodles on your canvas before you start. Find a way to make them part of the picture.

A few surprises for later

The fourth pack changes the prompt, the reveal or the stakes:

Crumble Paper makes the finished drawing look like crumpled paper.
High Stakes doubles the affected player's drawing points if more than half of the eligible guessers pick the correct answer. Otherwise, that player gets zero drawing points. Exactly half is not enough; guessers still earn their normal points.
Canvas Swap appears as a ? when played. After drawing ends, you swap your entire drawing and prompt with your target. They cannot block the swap.
Mashup adds a small twist to the next prompt, such as “on a bicycle” or “underwater”, in the party's language.

The new cards can combine with the existing ones. A mirrored drawing is one thing. Making it with one continuous line is another.

How to unlock them

Finish a full game to unlock your next missing pack. Each Steam account can earn one new pack per completed game, in order. You do not need to win.

If you already have Mirror Image, Line Magnet and Confetti Pen, your next three completed games unlock packs two, three and four. If you also have pack two, only the next two games are needed. Earlier games are not counted retroactively towards the new packs.

Unlocks stay with your Steam account. When a connected Steam account owns a pack, everyone in that party can play with its cards.

27 new Steam achievements

Drawing, guessing correctly, playing cards and reaching party milestones can now earn you Steam achievements. Here are a few to try:

First Stroke: Draw and submit your first picture.
Minimalist: Win a round with a single stroke. A good excuse to try Only One Line.
Streak Master: Guess five words correctly in a row.
Card Collector: Use every card at least once, including the new ones.
Sketch Legend: Finish fifty parties.

A few achievements are hidden. We will leave those for you to discover.

Other changes

Clearer card illustrations, sharper icons on larger screens and shorter descriptions.
Playing a card no longer removes other copies of the same card from your hand.
Redrawing a prompt now updates the text shown on your phone correctly.
More reliable handling of drawing swaps, reconnects and late drawing uploads.

As always, let us know what you think. We would love to hear which combination caused the most trouble in your party.

Cards, Gallery & Paint Throwing Update

Hey there, it’s us again.

When we first added cards, we said that six felt like a good starting set and that we would wait for feedback before adding more. It took us a while, but here we are adding more.

This update adds three new cards, lets you throw paint while the others are still drawing, and gives the best drawings from each game a place to stay.

Three new cards

Complete your first full game to unlock three additional cards for future rounds:

- Mirror Image draws every stroke on both sides of the canvas.
- Line Magnet snaps strokes to straight and diagonal directions.
- Confetti Pen leaves a trail of dots, stars, and dashes.

We have also redesigned the cards, added a Card Collection to the main menu, and built a proper unlock sequence for the new set. The effects work directly on the mobile drawing canvas and can even combine with each other.

The Gallery

A lot of great drawings used to disappear as soon as the game ended. We did not like that, so completed games now create an animated collage of the best five of their drawings.

Correct picks and player reactions help decide which drawings make the cut. Any cards used on a drawing are shown as well. The collage is saved locally on the presentation device, where it can be viewed again, opened in its folder, or deleted from the new Gallery.

Throw paint while you wait

Until now, submitting a drawing mostly turned your phone into a waiting screen. You can now charge a colorful paint blob and fling it onto the presentation while the other players finish drawing. It does not affect the game, but it does make waiting considerably messier.

Other changes

- The host can start a vote to stop an active game and return everyone to the lobby.
- If the host leaves or disconnects, hosting can be handed over to another player.
- Party music now stays synchronized after reconnects.
- Mobile settings save while they are edited, and several reconnect and layout issues were fixed.
- Japanese localization, fonts, cards, and content validation received another pass.

As always, let us know what you think. We are especially interested in finding out which of the new cards causes the most chaos in your group.

Hey there,

it’s us again. As promised in the last update, we’ve added and enhanced quite a few things to make the game even better. So let’s have a look.

Cards

As teased in the last update, we’ve added cards into the mix. The game awards you with cards at the end of each turn based on a secret formula. When you get these cards, they show up in your hand, which you can access at the start of the next round.

With cards we wanted to add a way to influence the others players during the round, since we felt that this would make the game more interactive and fun.

So here are the cards we implemented:

All of these have a negative effect on at least one player when they are played. From our testing we’ve found that these six cards feel like a good mix of effects: some more detrimental, some less. So we’ll await your feedback before adding any more.

Narration

An important part that was missing from the game was a proper narration, which is something we added now.

Every screen of the game is fully narrated with about 150 voice lines. In accordance with our goal to make this game as international as possible, the narration has full subtitles in English and German.

We’re really satisfied with how it turned out, but feel free to let us know whether you like it.

Graphics

The graphics of the game have always been something we had to make sacrifices for and we want to explain why.

Our goal was always to support as many devices as possible and with that goal in mind, the whole game is made in web technologies. This is why you can always go to [supersketchy.party](http://supersketchy.party) and play the whole game without any limitations.

While this is great, it’s also something we had to account for in the graphics department. As you probably know the web is very capable today and offers some really great ways to visualise your content. The flipside are the old browsers that are still around that we also want to support, which often don’t offer the same kind of capabilities as your desktop browser. Why do we want to support these old browser? Well, mainly because these are the kind of browsers which are on your Smart TV and we wanted our game to run on there as well.

Long story short, that’s why we were struggling to deliver a more compelling visualisation for some elements of the game. But since the last update we’ve invested more time in enhancing the elements we didn’t like with the tools that even the old browsers have and we think we have something good to show for now.

Our new Endresult with a better visualisation who made how many points in which round.

Our new Turn Result with fully animated picks and confetti 🎉

Game Client

We’ve changed the underlying technical base of our game client, which should give you a smaller installation and better game support on linux. This was quite the effort to pull off, but we think it should pay out in the long run.

What’s next

To be honest, we don’t know. The game is in a pretty good state right now and really fun to play. We’ve achieved most of our Early Access goals and are overall very confident that you’ll have fun playing the game. We are planning on adding the rest this year and release version 1.0. What comes after depends fully on the player feedback we receive. Before adding any additional features beyond the scope for 1.0, we want to assess the feedback first to see what would bring the most value to you. So, as always, leave us your feedback here or in the Steam Reviews, so we can see what you think we should improve.

Content, Controller & Stability Update

Hey there again,

Happy new year to all of you and welcome back!

There are a few things we have improved since the last time, so let’s get right to it.

The Content Update

We’re pretty confident with our content by now, but we always wanted to let the community expand on our base content. That’s why until now you were able to send in new words, that could then be reviewed by us and added to the main game content.

We are now expanding on that concept of player agency by letting you vote on content.

With this feedback we can get a better picture of the submitted content, especially when we don’t speak the language.

But that’s not all: When a word is submitted, we translate that word into a few other languages, but don’t add it to games content immediately. Instead we put these words in a queue, where they can be judged.

We’re doing that, so all players can benefit from the submitted content, but we know that many phrases that sound good and make sense in one language, are completely unusable in others. But since our russian pun skills are not exactly up to par, we’ll try this approach together with you.

You can find the new feature in the Content Submission submenu in the mainmenu.

Controller support

Our vision with Super Sketchy Party is to support as many devices as possible and controller support is a step into that direction. With the release of the Steam Deck around the corner more so than ever.

But when you play Super Sketchy Party, you quickly realise that you don’t really need any kind of controller for the main game and that has been our approach with the implementation as well. So as of now you can control the main menu, host a game or change the settings. That should be just enough to get a first impression if this is something worth spending more time on.

Stability & Bugs

Since the last update we’ve adressed a few minor bugs to improve the overall experience. We also found a more major bug, where sometimes players would get disconnected from a running party. If you encountered this problem, we apologize for the inconvenience, since we want to keep the game as stable as possible and hope you give us another shot in the future.

What’s next

We’ll keep a close eye on performance and stability, but our next feature will be exiciting for all of us. We’ve noticed that during the rounds, the players barely need to interact with each other. That’s something we want to change with the addition of cards. Here is a sneak peak:
