Something about a good night's sleep between April 1st and 2nd has made us realise that that whole flowers instead of blood thing was pretty weird so lets just pretend that didn't happen.

But if you'd prefer not to join us in forgetting, we've left the 'Green' modifier available in the game so you can paint the town green whenever the mood strikes.

Version 1.1.3

• Added the Green modifier

April 2nd Edit:

Yeah so... blood is back, nothing to see here. I've left the original post below but here now on April 2nd it seems like some pretty crazy ramblings so lets all just pretend it didn't happen.

In all seriousness the build has been update to be back to normal, but the 'Green' modifier is still available as an option.

Hey Brawlers.

The team has been discussing for quite some time what we feel is the best single change we can make that is what players new and old really want. So we've finally come to the decision to officially remove all of the blood in Paint the Town Red!

This is a change so obvious that it's amazing it eluded us for several years. We expect you, the Paint the Town Red Green community will universally find it, for lack of a better word: foolish that we didn't do this sooner!

Let's paint the town with flowers instead!

Changes to the fluids of the other Gardners:

• Solanaceae Petunioideae seed has been modified to replace hemoglobin, and bloom on contact.
  
• Four different varieties of flower can bloom once the seed makes contact with the world.
  
• It will bloom anywhere it lands!
  
• Anywhere. It. Lands.

Our patented blooming technology in action!

Be sure to hop onto the Discord and share your beautiful Floristry with the rest of the community.

We've rose to the occasion and planted a seed that will grow a new era for our game. So why not poppy-in to your favourite level, put the petal to the metal and fall head clover heels in love with this new in-carnation because it's sure to make your daisy. The enemies are still thorny, but don't soil yourself or wet your plants, you can beat them, just take stalk of your life and don't stop be-leafing!

Get out there Gardners!

The theme of this contest is Outer Space! This means that the level you submit must be themed around outer space in some way.

This contest is being hosted over on the Discord server, you can join using this link:

This update adds the option on Teleporters in the Level Editor to have sounds play on entry and/or exit.

Version 1.1.2 is a quick follow-up update to the 1.1.1 update which also fixes a bug that caused players to sometimes not teleport to the wrong spot when using a teleporter.

• Fixed bug causing the player to be sent to the wrong spot when using some teleporters

Version 1.1.1

It's time to step through the portal and emerge into version 1.1.0 where we've added Teleporters to the Level Editor for use in Workshop levels. With our teleporters we didn't just make them teleport players or enemies, we've allowed them to teleport bullets and weapons as well!



You can find the teleporter prop in under the "Other" category represented with the following icon:



Teleporters work much like Primitive props in how they can be scaled and have materials applied, and they can be grouped to a Primitive so they can move on waypoints. They are also logic props and can be enabled or disabled with different buttons or triggers.

Below are some basic examples of what Teleporters can do and further below are descriptions of the options available.

A brief explanation of each of the options the Teleporters have in the Level Editor:

• Active: Whether or not the Teleporter starts activated
  
• Teleports Players: Whether or not it teleports players
  
• Teleports Enemies: Whether or not it teleports enemies (including ragdolled enemies)
  
• Teleports Weapons: Whether or not it teleports weapons
  
• Teleports Bullets: Whether or not it teleports bullets
  
• Move to Relative Offset: This determines whether a teleported object moves to a position on the destination teleporter that matches where it entered the source teleporter. Otherwise it will appear at the center of the destination teleporter.
  
• Keep Relative Direction: This determines whether an object will exit the destination teleporter with a rotation that is based on the direction it was when it entered the source teleporter and the difference in rotation between the 2 teleporters. Otherwise the exit rotation will be entirely based on the rotation of the exit teleporter.
  
• NPCS Try to Use: Whether or not NPC characters will try to use the teleporter when pathfinding as a shortcut.
  
• Hide When Inactive: Sets whether when not Active the teleporter will be invisible.

Note that the direction of the entry and exit teleporters can be quite important for achieving the results you're after. We've added arrows on the teleporter props to indicate the different axis directions.

We're expecting there to be a lot of creative and ingenious uses of the teleporters in upcoming levels and are looking forward to seeing what the community can come up with.



In this update we've also added the missing female textures from the Biker Bar, Disco and Pirate Cove as appearance options on the Level Editor and added some new transparent material options.


Version 1.1.0

• Level Editor: Added teleporters
  
• Level Editor: Added Biker, Disco and Pirate female appearance options
  
• Level Editor: Added some new transparent material options
