title: "v0.12.0: the Azulian Tag Update" |
|||
date: 2022-03-27T15:39:21-07:00 |
|||
draft: false |
|||
--- |
|||
A new beta release of _Sketchy Maze_ is now available. This release brings a |
|||
lot of new features to the level editor, such as a Text Tool and Flood Fill |
|||
Tool, and adds a couple new levels for a game mode called "Azulian Tag." |
|||
|
|||
In Azulian Tag, the player who is "It" (that's you) needs to avoid being |
|||
tagged by the enemy characters, most of which are Azulians. The Azulians |
|||
on these maps have an infinite aggro radius and will chase after the player |
|||
no matter how far away you are! To get the gold medal high score, you need |
|||
to find the secret exit hidden in each level. Otherwise, you're awarded a |
|||
silver high score based on how long you survive until one of the Azulians |
|||
catches you! |
|||
|
|||
 |
|||
|
|||
## New Level Editor Features |
|||
|
|||
Some new drawing tools are added: |
|||
|
|||
* The **Text Tool** makes it easy to stamp text messages onto your level, |
|||
choosing from one of the built-in fonts (including the Azulian language |
|||
font!) and using any of your level's colors. |
|||
* The **Flood Tool** implements a paint bucket to replace contiguous |
|||
regions of your drawing with a new color. |
|||
* The **Pan Tool** lets you easily scroll your level viewport with your |
|||
left mouse button or finger swipe on mobile. This is especially useful |
|||
for devices with touch screens so you can avoid accidentally editing |
|||
your level when you just wanted to scroll it! |
|||
|
|||
New **Game Rules** can be customized on your level to change the game's |
|||
default behaviors, including: |
|||
|
|||
* A **Difficulty** setting that can adjust the way enemy mobs behave. |
|||
On Peaceful, enemies ignore the player and do no harm. On Hard mode, |
|||
enemies become more aggressive, such as the Azulians having an |
|||
infinite aggro radius and run at the player at level start! |
|||
* The **Survival Mode** rule changes the meaning of "high score" for |
|||
the silver medal tier: you're awarded for _how long_ you survive before |
|||
dying rather than how quickly you beat the level. On these levels, the |
|||
gold tier for finding the Exit Flag unscathed is still awarded for |
|||
fastest time finding the flag. |

# Mobile GNU/Linux |
|||
|
|||
Sketchy Maze supports ARM 64-bit mobile GNU/Linux devices such as the Pine64 |
|||
[Pinephone](https://www.pine64.org/pinephone/) ([Pro](https://www.pine64.org/pinephonepro/)) |
|||
and the Purism [Librem 5](https://puri.sm/products/librem-5/). The screenshots |
|||
below were recorded on [Mobian](https://mobian-project.org) with its default |
|||
[Phosh](https://puri.sm/posts/phosh-overview/) desktop shell. The game should |
|||
run on any bog standard Linux distro running something like KDE Plasma Mobile, |
|||
GNOME Shell, Xfce, and can run normal Linux apps. |
|||
|
|||
I try and make the game generally functional, if only a little awkward, on mobile. |
|||
The game's popup UI windows are kept under a certain size, it should run on |
|||
screens with an effective resolution of 375x750 like the Pinephone. |
|||
|
|||
## Title Screen |
|||
|
|||
The title screen is adaptive for landscape and portrait oriented phones. |
|||
|
|||
 |
|||
|
|||
 |
|||
|
|||
## Mobile Gameplay |
|||
|
|||
The game adapts when you rotate your phone. |
|||
|
|||
 |
|||
|
|||
 |
|||
|
|||
## Editor |
|||
|
|||
The level editor is usable on mobile. If your screen is wide enough, the toolbar |
|||
shows double-wide columns but will adapt to a single column to give you more |
|||
screen real estate to edit your drawing. |
|||
|
|||
 |
|||
|
|||
 |
|||
|
|||
 |
|||
|
|||
There's also a setting to make the toolbars go horizontal instead of vertical, |
|||
it might or might not work for you: |
