hey little wareware creatures!~🖤

we’ve been cooking hard these past weeks and are finally bringing some wareware updates for u, just in time for halloween! if you are looking to try out the new drawing UI, CSS crimes and room action, head over the wareware page or try it on www.wareware.rip ₊˚🕯️♱‧₊˚.

ps: we’re also running a wareware jam over the halloween week, check below for details!

list-o’-features (¬ ´ཀ` )¬

🎨 new sprite drawing ui

you can now draw sprites and tiles directly in the editor!!🖤🖤🖤

there’s draw, fill and an eraser tool. the fill tool is super handy for quick palette swaps.

you can also create duplicates of graphics now and directly download your tiles/sprite gfx if you want to keep editing them in an external tool like Aseprite~

here are some sneaky drawing top tips as well:

• use Alt + Left Click to pick a color or alpha/Erase mode
• use Right Click in Draw mode to quick erase

we’re still tweaking the interface and might add more features (maybe flipping and rotating graphics? and also a better UI for animated spritesheets) and are very much looking forward to your feedback and thoughts on this!

⚠️ css crimes now even more criminal

for all the hacker-gyrls🩷: until now you were only able to do css crimes on the background element of the game. we’ve extended this so you can edit the css of any element in the game now!! and even the editor (˵ ¬ᴗ¬˵) !!!! css animations are also now possible

each room has it’s own css rules, although we might also add game-wide css crimes if people would like to. here are some css selectors for you to tinker with. copypaste them in your room properties:

/* change the room background*/
#game {
  background-color: #acab69 !important;
}

/* style message bubbles */
.textbox {
  color: #000  !important;
  background-color: #d75fc0  !important;
}

/* images! css filters are super fun */
.imageCard {
  filter: blur(32px);
}

/* aaaaaa */
body {
 animation: tilt-shaking ease 5s infinite;
}
@keyframes tilt-shaking {
  0% { transform: rotate(1deg); }
  50% { transform: rotate(-1deg); }
  100% { transform: rotate(1deg); }
}

sometimes you need to add !important for stuff to work☠️

please share your css crimes with us! we are very exited to see what people come up with, >:3

🪛 new action for messing with rooms

there’s a new sprite action, Change Room Settings! you can change background and css crimes mid-dialog~

you can build some pretty cool effects if you also use css transitions or animations.

🦇 cuteee halloween asset pack

it’s like a custom RTP, but for wareware and it’s creepsy😍
