Hello again, Its been a few month since our 1.0 update and we're excited to bring you a fresh, experimental feature: The AI Update! Weve developed something really cool wed like to share with you, which will add some additional variance to your parties: This update adds an image recognition AI to the our steam client players. If you enable the AI in your game and join a party as a watch mode, the AI will then start to recognize the images that have been drawn in that party. So rather than generating new images, the AI is taking you hand-drawn images as an input and tries to figure out what you drew. We then apply additional logic to contextualize them within the game and then feed it back into the guesses for the drawing, making it harder to guess what the right answer is. The AI guess shows up as a normal guess, but qualifies as a fake guess, so whoever pick the wrong AI guess loses a few points. We think this a really fun and ethical appliciance of AI in our game. It not only rewards clear drawing skills but also encourages players to think outside the box with their guesses, as the AI handles the more predictable responses, its also just really fun to see what the AI thinks you drew. To clarify: The AI features are entirely optional and do require a robust CPU for optimal performance. If you prefer not to use the AI, you can opt out during game startup or disable it in the settings menu. Note that these new mechanics are active only when at least one player in watch mode has the AI feature enabled. The number of active AIs in your party lobby will be displayed alongside the count of regular players. We're eager to hear your thoughts and look forward to your feedback!
Hey there, We're excited to announce the release of the 1.0 update! This update includes a number of smaller fixes and improvements, but our main feature with this update is the addition of 27 new languages: ***Bulgarian, Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, French, Greek, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, Ukrainian*** (English & German were already present) Thats right, weve translated the content and the game itself (including subtitles) for all these new languages, so more people can enjoy Super Sketchy Party in their native language. We also have a system in place, that helps to expand the content for all languages: So lets say a player adds a new German phrase to the database via our content submission system. This phrase is then auto-translated into all the other languages we support. But here comes the catch: We wont add this phrase to that language database right away, but add it to a second separate database, where you can vote on the quality of that phrase. Only if the phrase gets a significant number of upvotes, it gets added to the general database with all phrases for the game. This way we ensure the quality of the phrase database, while also giving you, the community, a way to add more content to the game. This update also marks the end of our early access journey. Weve been in early access for about 1,5 years now and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It gave us the opportunity to get the community involved early in the lifecycle, while still improving on the overall experience. In the early access period weve added matchmaking, custom player sound effects, awards, cards, narration and so much more. As of now, we are proud of the scope the game and are satisfied with its features, which is why weve decided to finally fully release the game. Thank you for your continued support and we hope you enjoy the new update!
Hey there, its us again. As promised in the last update, weve added and enhanced quite a few things to make the game even better. So lets have a look.
Hey there again, Happy new year to all of you and welcome back! There are a few things we have improved since the last time, so lets get right to it.
Hey there,
We've been a hard at work on our next big update. After several weeks of work, here is what we've been up to:
(old: left, new: right)
We've improved the drawing experience. The old drawing canvas was a good start, but the new one allows you to express your ideas more freely and gives the drawing a smoother look overall. Additionally we've increased the canvas size, so you have more space for your drawing and it looks cleaner in the end. With this change we've adjusted the pencil size, which we feel is better now, but any feedback over in the Steam Forums is appreciated.
Our second big feature with this update is the playersound. When joining a game, players can now record a sound as a playersound. The game uses whichever microphone is available, so this works on pretty much every device you can think of. The playersound is then played whenever the player avatar is shown, resulting in an entertaining soundscape during the game. In addition to that we've provided several stock sounds for players, who don't want to record their own sound.
Other changes:
- The lobby QR-Code is now visible on the player devices as well, so players can easily help other players joining the game
- The party lobby layout has been redesigned to better accommodate smaller screens
- Normalized music and soundeffects, so they're all the same volume
- Added more explanations to the content submission page
- Game is not allowed to start when there is no presentation device in the lobby
- Fixed several smaller bugs
What's next:
In the next update we want to improve the player content submission even more. (Thanks for all the submissions this far)
