Kinetic Canvas v1.1 Update
Hi people! I made a few tweaks to make Kinetic Canvas more beautiful. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45502782/ccdf8b368f14cd25e7dbc36e73f9a814725d886c.png The most noticeable thing is the "mirror" mode which you can tick on in the options menu, which can help you create more symmetrical images. Please check out the keyboard, mouse and gamepad controls guide - e.g. pressing Space on PC allows you to pause everything, and copying screenshot to clipboard by pressing Alt+Enter. New features & improvements to visuals: 1. New "mirror" mode added to the options menu, which enables a reflection of your drawing. 2. Updates to color balance to avoid white glare / overload of white. 3. More vivid color balances. 4. Introduced smoke-like "light trails" on, with better color, clarity and less noise. 5. Replaced one texture that was really crap adversely affecting the experience. Small bugfixes: 1. Hopefully resolved crash in the donation panel for iOS, when opening the app after device wakes from sleep.Read full article on Community Announcements (Janglecat)AnnouncementsOfficial
