|||
A new version of _Sketchy Maze_ is released today that brings several |
|||
new features, new doodads and new levels! |
|||
|
|||
Grab the latest version on the [Download](/download) page! |
|||
|
|||
Some highlights of the new release include: |
|||
|
|||
## Doodad Editor Improvements |
|||
|
|||
Using only in-game tools, it is now fully possible to create custom |
|||
doodads (including multiple frames of animation), attach and manage |
|||
their JavaScript sources, and there are a few built-in "generic scripts" |
|||
to give simple behaviors to your custom doodads all without _you_ |
|||
needing to worry at all about writing any JavaScript code! |
|||
|
|||
For example, you can create your own "hazard doodad" that kills the |
|||
player on contact (acting like fire pixels) by selecting the |
|||
"Generic Fire" script. |
|||
|
|||
 |
|||
|
|||
## All Characters are Playable! |
|||
|
|||
In this release you can set up a custom level so that you play as a |
|||
different character instead of the Boy! |
|||
|
|||
To set this up, drag a Start Flag and another doodad of your choice |
|||
into your level, and connect them together using the Link Tool. When |
|||
the level starts, you will play _as_ that doodad! |
|||
|
|||
All of the built-in creatures are fully supported (including the Bird, |
|||
Azulians, and the Thief). The Bird can travel freely without being |
|||
affected by gravity. You can play as non-creature doodads, too, |
|||
sometimes with strange effects. Play as the Anvil and you can kill |
|||
mobile doodads by "jumping" onto them! |
|||
|
|||
Only mobile doodads tend to collide with most things such as Doors |
|||
and Trapdoors, and only mobile doodads can activate Buttons and |
|||
Switches. |
|||
|
|||
## New Doodads & Levels |
|||
|
|||
The new doodads in this release include: |
|||
|
|||
* The **Thief** is a character which can steal items out of the inventory |
|||
of other characters. She does not steal items from other Thieves, |
|||
except if she is the player character. |
|||
* The **Anvil** is affected by gravity and becomes dangerous to all |
|||
mobile doodads when it is falling. When _not_ falling, the doodad |
|||
is completely harmless and has no solid collision hitbox. |
|||
* The **Electric Trapdoor** is a horizontal version of the Electric Door |
|||
which can open and close when activated by a Button or Switch. |
|||
* The **Checkpoint Flag** remembers your position in a level. When you |
|||
die to fire pixels or Anvils, instead of restarting the level from the |
|||
beginning you can teleport back to your last checkpoint and carry on! |
|||
|
|||
See the [full list of built-in doodads](/guidebook/doodads.html) in the |
|||
Guidebook! |
|||
|
|||
Two new built-in levels are added: |
|||
|
|||
* **Castle.level:** introduces the Thief and other new doodads. |
|||
* **Thief 1.level:** play _as_ the Thief and steal Small Keys from |
|||
the Azulians to complete the level. |
|||
