## "Azulian Tag - Forest" and "Shapeshifter"
|

|

The final level (so far) in the First Quest, "Shapeshifter" as well as the
|
||||
"Azulian Tag - Forest" level are large and colorful and may stress test the
|
||||
game's limits. On 32-bit releases of v0.12.0 the game could crash with an
|
||||
out of memory error when it reached 4 GB of memory which is more than a
|
||||
32-bit app can have!
|
||||
|
||||
The followup release v0.12.1 makes several optimizations to free up SDL2
|
||||
textures and more proactively unload level chunks that are not visible on
|
||||
screen but there is still room for improvement. Try the "F3" debug overlay
|
||||
feature to see details of memory usage and texture counts. I observed
|
||||
the Azulian Tag level to use up to 1.8 GB memory which may still be taxing
|
||||
on low-powered devices like the Pinephone with its 2GB total RAM.
|
||||
|
||||
For custom user levels it is recommended to keep them "light" with line art
|
||||
and avoid large areas filled with color.

A new **major** update to the _Sketchy Maze_ beta has been released! This update
|
||||
continues to improve on performance and stability with a new file format for
|
||||
Levels (& Doodads) which greatly reduces memory use when playing large and colorful
|
||||
levels such as _Azulian Tag - Forest_ -- down from 1.5 GB of memory to closer
|
||||
to 200 MB, making these larger levels playable on lower power devices.
|
||||
|
||||
Your existing levels & doodads created with earlier versions of the game still work!
|
||||
The update is backwards compatible and your files will be transparently upgraded to
|
||||
the new format on its next save.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
This release also comes with a lot of new content:
|
||||
|
||||
* **Swimming mechanics:**
|
||||
* The water pixels on your levels actually do something useful now!
|
||||
* When the player character is wet, swimming physics apply: gravity and jump
|
||||
speed are slower, and the jump button can be spammed infinitely in order to
|
||||
"swim" upwards a small amount. Hold the jump button to ascend slowly, spam
|
||||
it to ascend more quickly.
|
||||
* The Azulians can swim, too! By default they'll sink and walk along the bottom
|
||||
but if they are tracking the player character they will swim up to catch you.
|
||||
* **4 new levels:**
|
||||
* The Jungle (First Quest) - a direct sequel to the Boat level, it's a jungle
|
||||
and Mayan themed platformer featuring many of the new doodads from this
|
||||
release such as Snakes, Gemstones and Crushers.
|
||||
* Gems & Totems (Tutorial, Lesson 4) - a tutorial map showing how the new
|
||||
Gemstones & Totems work in a safe environment.
|
||||
* Swimming (Tutorial, Lesson 5) - a tutorial to explore the new swimming
|
||||
mechanics that come in this release!
|
||||
* Night Sky (Azulian Tag) - a third installment in the Azulian Tag survival
|
||||
mode levelpack!
|
||||
* **11 new doodads:**
|
||||
* Blue Bird: a new variant like the Red Bird, this one flies in a sine wave
|
||||
pattern about its target altitude and will dive at you from a greater height.
|
||||
* Snake: a green snake that sits coiled up and always faces the player. If you
|
||||
try and jump over it, it will jump up to try and catch you. It is harmless
|
||||
to other Snakes but will still jump with you.
|
||||
* Crusher: a block-headed enemy with an iron helmet which tries to drop on you
|
||||
from above. Its helmet makes for a safe platform to ride back up like
|
||||
an elevator.
|
||||
* Gems & Totems: four collectible gems (in different colors and shapes) that
|
||||
slot into Totems of a matching shape. Totems may link together and require
|
||||
you to collect _multiple_ gemstones before they'll emit a power signal to
|
||||
other linked doodads (such as to open an Electric Door).
|
||||
* **5 new wallpapers:**
|
||||
* A dark version of Dotted Paper and 4x new Parchment Paper wallpapers are now
|
||||
available (the latter come in white, red, blue, and green varieties). As
|
||||
always, you may select a [custom wallpaper](/guidebook/custom-levels/custom-wallpaper.html)
|
||||
for your levels if you like!
|
||||
* **New brush pattern:** Bubbles! The "water" color of each of the game's default
|
||||
palettes will use the Bubbles pattern.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
There are a handful of other changes and smaller features which you can see on
|
||||
