May 2018 Update: Improved Drawing Recognition
Hey there! I finally released the game update with the improved drawing recongnition! It took me a good part of last year to work on the recognition issues, try different approaches, etc. It is still far from ideal but I guess it is the best I can do for the time being. And I hop

List of changes:

Drawing Guide!
Some improvements in the drawing recognition
A couple of new objects to draw
Bugfixes
The most significant change is the introduction of the Drawing Guide. You're now able to type an object name you want to draw and see an example of how it is supposed to be drawn. Even better, you can click 'Show when drawing' button and the reference image will be shown to you while you're drawing something. So you could just follow the contours of the reference image to get exactly that item in the game world. There're always a few ways to draw each object. Drawing guide suggest only one of them. So you're always free to draw something of your own instead of the reference image.
The drawing guide could be helpful when the game does not recognize your drawing (like an oar at the first level, a lot of people had troubles with drawing it). It is also good way to check if the game is aware of some certain object or not.
Drawing Guide is accessible through the game menu screen. Please tell me what you think of it!
I also made some improvements in drawings recognition. I tried to introduce more variety in how each object could be drawn. Initially, I trained my recognition algorithm on a set of drawings represented how I imagine game objects. So the game had no troubles when recognizing my own sketches. A lot of people image the game objects differently though and the game failed to recognize their drawings. I'm eager to address this issue now.
Since so many people encountered troubles with drawing things, recognition improvement is my top priority now. I plan to make more enhancements in the next game update. Please be patient!
