Update 0.0.1
This update features a lot of quality of life additions and changes. There are also a ton of fixes for a bunch of reported problems. Thank you for all your feedback!
Gameplay
- Smooth Placement
- Props will gently glide from your hand to the spot you are placing the object.
- This also prevents objects from getting stuck in the environment.
- Brush Stability
- Improved painting for small brushes including pencils, pens, and markers. No more dotted lines!
- Improved accuracy on wide brushes (wall brush, duster, and dad's toothbrush).
- Pouring Improvements
- Fixed containers not pouring all of their contents. Containers can now be entirely emptied instead of always having just one more drop.
UI Additions and Improvements
- New Held Item UI
- Certain items will display their contents so you no longer have to guess how much paint is left on your brush.
- The indicator also changes color to match the color on the brush.
- Ultra-wide Support (For real this time!)
- We swear it works this time! Thank you to the players that reported it.
- Improved Brush Pointers
- Brush preview pointers have been scaled to accurately reflect the size of the brush. This way you always know how much paint is going to be slapped on when you click.
Visual Changes
- Fixed liquid rendering
- Liquids no longer look as though they are always full or always empty.
- The whiteboard is now paintable after it is picked up
- Whiteboard? More like Writeboard. This is Andrew's fault. I swear it's not me.
Fun Bonus Content
- Pliers can detach objects.
- No longer is the hammer the only prop that can detach. You now have a second option should you accidentally glue your hammer to Mona Lisa's face. Or just glue them both. You probably will.
- You can detach more objects than you think!
- Paintable Posters and Photographs
- Posters and photographs can now be painted on!
- Go ahead. Draw a mustache on Indiana Jones.
- For some reason, we are getting requests to have everything BUT the Mona Lisa be paintable. This brings us a step closer to an entirely paintable reality. We're working on it!
What's Next?
Currently we are working on some changes to make Fiasco physics more stable. We're specifically focusing on containers. We've implemented some minor changes to them already to help smooth the experience but there's more that isn't quite ready yet.
If you'd like to know more about what we're working on, follow us on Twitter or join the Discord! We post a lot of in progress snapshots there. We also stream regularly, 7pm ET on Mondays over on Twitch!
Our Kickstarter is almost over! If you'd like to support our work please consider backing us.
That's all for now! Once again, we'd like to thank all of you for playing the game, giving feedback, and showing support. It means so much to us!
