+
+## Future planned features vs. levels created today
+
+While in beta, this game is sort of evolving as it goes and some features added
+later may break or affect custom levels created today. As a general rule of
+thumb: the game's built-in levels are expected to _mostly_ keep working as the
+game is developed further as I don't want to create too much more work for
+myself revisiting old levels to fix them up.
+
+Here are a few current quirks in the game and how they're going to be handled
+in the future:
+
+### Enemy mobs being invulnerable to fire pixels
+
+Currently, fire pixels only kill the player character but enemy mobs can walk
+through them unscathed.
+
+Eventually, fire pixels will be able to destroy enemy mobs and the mobs will
+_try_ and avoid walking into fire but if they fall into it on accident they'll
+be destroyed.
+
+Planned feature: a "Fireproof Mobs" Game Rule, so existing maps that have lava
+pits and dumb mobs (like Azulian Tag, where the Azulians chase the player to
+Hell and back) will be able to gain backwards compatibility by toggling a
+game rule on.
+
+### Jump height and reach
+
+The platforming physics and player controls may be tweaked still but generally
+the player's jump height and reach will be kept close to its current state.
+Use the built-in levels for inspiration.
+
+### Multiplayer features
+
+The game may eventually have multiplayer features where you can design a map
+meant to be played by two or more players. Doodad Script functions such as
+`Actors.FindPlayer()` will operate on the _nearest_ player character and try
+and maintain backwards compatibility for maps made today.
+
+### Player is not meant to climb walls
+
+See [above](#player-shouldnt-be-able-to-climb-walls). Currently there is a bug
+where the player can climb some vertical walls. Built-in levels avoid the issue
+by drawing overhangs at the tops of walls or slant the wall back towards the
+player. Do not rely on the ability to climb walls for custom levels - they will
+break on a future 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.
