Hello Everyone!

Version 1.4 of Depixtion is now live! If you guys thought v1.3 was a dramatic update, then you're in for a treat! It looks like a whole new game...Again!

New & Important Features

UI
We have performed a MASSIVE overhaul to every single aspect of the UI. There is not a single section that we did not go in and tinker with/dramatically remake. Just take a look at the comparison below!








Stats Panel
Ever been curious of just how many stars you earned? Or how long it took you to complete all of those super hard 24x24's? Well, wonder no more, as we have incorporated a Stats Panel into Depixtion! You can find the Stats Panel next to the Options panel in the Main Menu.



Drag-Lock Preview
When using Drag-Lock, there is now a preview of the blocks you plan on laying down. This greatly helps visualize your next moves



TextMeshPro
We'll admit, we dropped the ball on this one. In a game with so much text, it was silly for us to not use TextMeshPro. But we have learned from our mistakes, and went through the slightly-painful process of incorporating it into Depixtion. TextMeshPro allows for MUCH crisper text displayed a higher fidelity. Your eyes will thank us.



New Icons
We've got new Icons and Steam Library images to go along with the new UI! Spiffy, huh?



Bug Fixes & Minor Changes
- Assorted Optimization Improvements
- Tutorial Pop-up is now more noticeable
- When Drag-Lock is disabled, Drag-Counter option now becomes grayed out
- Fixed SFX inconsistencies
- Fixed Control inconsistencies between when drag lock is enabled/disabled
- Fixed Bug in which the Credits Panel would break on certain resolutions
- Fixed Bug in which the Music Volume slider would break after minimizing the game
- Fixed Bug in which the Music Volume slider would break when set to 0
- Fixed Bug in which the Music would restart when game was minimized
- Fixed Bug in which the Puzzle Select screen would progress through 2 Puzzles instead of 1
- Fixed Bug in which the Drag-Lock feature caused the incorrect colors to appear on a layer

We hope you all enjoy the new updates to Depixtion!
Happy Griddling!

Hello Everyone!

As some of you may have noticed, we have released version 1.3 of Depixtion! This update has been over 2 months in the making, and contains a lot of features and changes that were requested from the community. Here's a rundown of everything that's new and improved!

New Features & Changes

New Controls
The Control Scheme for Depixtion has gotten a major overhaul! There are now 2 available control schemes for each controller type: Default & Legacy. You can switch between the control schemes in the Options menu.

Mouse
Default
Left Click - Colors the Square with the Selected Color
Mouse Wheel - Selects Color (Light or Dark)
Right Click - X/Clear

Legacy
Single Left Click - Light Color
Double Left Click - Dark Color
Right Click - X/Clear

Gamepad
Default
Light & Dark are each assigned their own button

Legacy
Light & Dark are assigned to the same button. You must press the button twice to place a Dark Color

Keyboard
Default
Light & Dark are each assigned their own key

Legacy
Light & Dark are assigned to the same key. You must press the key twice to place a Dark Color

Advanced Tutorial
Stuck scratching your head while trying to solve some of the harder 24x24 puzzles? Then consult our new Advanced Tutorial for some Picross tips and tricks! The Advanced Tutorial can be accessed through the Options menu in both the Main Menu and during gameplay.

Drag Lock
Drag Lock is finally here! When enabled, your cursor will no long stray into neighboring squares when filling in larger hints. Drag Lock can be Enabled/Disabled in the Options menu.

Drag Lock Counting
Tired of trying to count out 20+ squares in groups of 4? We feel you. That's why we added a Counting system! When utilizing the new "Drag Lock" feature, filling in more than a single square at a time will bring up a counter that shows how many squares you will be filling in

New Achievements
We've added 7 new Achievements to Depixtion! We did this to match the number of Achievements in the upcoming Depixtion: Halloween. Go check them out!

New Music
The great Bonisdead has provided us with 2 new tracks for Depixtion!
There are now 2 alternating tracks for puzzle mode, and a track that plays whenever you've completed a puzzle.

New & Improved Gameplay UI
The Gameplay UI has been completely overhauled. It now sits on the bottom of the screen opposed to the top, and is dependent on what control scheme you are currently using. Whether it be Gamepad, Keyboard, Mouse, Default, or Legacy, your controls will now be visible at all times at the bottom of the screen.

Undo/Redo
The Undo/Redo system now tracks on a "Per Move" basis, opposed to being tracked on a "Per Square" basis. For example, if you color in 4 spaces in a single move, it will undo all 4 spaces, instead of the last one colored in.

First Time Player Popup
New players to Depixtion will be greeted with a pop-up asking if they would like to start with the tutorial. This should make it much easier for new players to get their bearings.

Bug Fixes
  • Fixed Timer pop-in
  • Removed ability to switch to a completed puzzle
  • Fixed Invisible Pause panel issue
  • Puzzles no longer save if only filled with X's or Blanks
  • Fixed spelling & Grammar Issues
  • Fixed issue were hints would not be grayed out on load
  • MANY MANY more minor bugs have been squashed

Thank you all so much for your feedback! We hope you all enjoy version 1.3!
