A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

There were 3 cosmetic issues with the text input boxes that got fixed. - Clearing out the text in an input box would sometimes cause text to draw over itself in the box - Highlighting text and deleting would cause highlight to show in strange ways - Sometimes the input cursor would continue to blink after an active input box was closed
A ton of work has gone into getting ready for the Android launch of Retro Sketch. Some bugs were found along the way that have been resolved with this release. - Now multithreaded - Faster line drawing algorithm (less calls to Vulkan) - Crash when swapping projects - Crash with grid when swapping projects and returning
Found some issues while drawing that needed to be fixed, and I added the ability to open a file via command line args. You can now set Retro Sketch as the default application to open the save files. Features Ability to open project files from the command line Fixes Fixed an issue with animation preview crashing when creating new tracks and swapping between them and opening animation preview Fixed an issue with clearing of selection sometimes being 1 pixel down when undoing
The rotation of canvases had incorrect history when you undo/redo; this is now fixed
Features Added "Rotate 90 deg" option to layers Added ability to drag/drop canvases in the track window Fixes Fixed an issue with track order after duplicating a track Fixed canvas selection after duplicating a track Fixed an issue where single click with rectangle selection wasn't clearing the selection Fixed an issue where alt+tab was locking the alt key being down Fixed an issue with the mouse cursor being stuck as a pointer when drawing Fixed an issue with the track title being on top of everything Fixed an issue with the color sampler not setting the color across all canvases Fixed an iss
Found an issue with Atlas Maker when you create clips, delete canvases, then return. Also found an issue with the vertical scroll in the Timeline Window. Both are resolved with this hotfix
I'm adding in a unique id for each canvas created. This makes it possible for scripts to do cool things in the future as well as helps things like the Atlas Maker to be able to better save state in projects. Features Added internal unique id to each canvas Atlas Maker now saves your clips to the project Fixes Fixed an issue with the needed size calculation of atlases (causing failed exports) Fixed an issue with weird scrolling behavior in the Atlas Maker
Found some bugs while working on a game, so publishing fixes for those. Features Atlas Maker will detect duplicate selected frames across all clips and export only 1 for all Fixes Fixing view menu bar item capitalization Updated contact handle Fixed crash on missing texture when hiding tracks and showing/hiding the animation preview window Fixed an issue with the timeline window track visibility icons being the wrong image Fixed an issue related to the nudge tool and undo/redo history Fixed the population of the auto-save value in the settings window Fixed crash in Atlas Maker when trying to e
The full documentation for the timeline window is now live as well as the following fixes: Fixes Fixed some text in settings window Fixed track right-click options going behind menu bar Fixed issue with loading multiple tracks showing wrong track Fixed an issue with color depth for gif export Fixed a bug with panning horizontally in the timeline (shift+click) Fixed an issue where track duplicate would use currently selected track rather than right-clicked track
I like to make each of my separate animations on their own track, so to make things easier I added a new "Add all" button on each track to make it easy to pick all canvases for the animation clip. Features Adding new "Add all" button to Atlas Maker track name Added correct version number to project setup screen Fixes Fixed an issue where when a new timeline track is created and you select it to start painting, the paint wasn't visible unless you changed canvases and came back
Being that we primarily use Retro Sketch to develop artwork for our games, we wanted a way to simply create single-image atlases with multiple animations packed into them. You can access the new Atlas Maker window from the File menu. If you'd like to learn how to use the Atlas Maker window, please review the documentation on our website. Features Added new "Atlas Maker" window in the File menu Fixes Fixed an issue that sometimes made some UI tool images blurry Fixed an issue with track names not loading properly
Features Added auto saving (see settings to enable it) Added keyboard "Escape" key to close some floating windows Fixes Migrated app data to correct subfolder Fixed an issue with the export window showing the wrong size on scaling Fixed an issue with project settings upgrading to new versions Fixed an issue with undo on Shift+Click using brush to make lines
Couldn't sign off until I fixed some things that were annoying me... Fixes Fixed filled rectangle preview z-sorting Fixed issue with canvas going outside the bounds of the viewport Fixed reference image layout to be horizontal instead of vertical
Features Added Shift+Click in brush tool to draw lines Added "d" key to swap between black and white colors for painting Fixes Fixing color palette not saving/loading with project Fixed multi-sample flood fill crash Fixing brush preview missing on project load Fixed brushing and releasing the brush over UI would cause undo/redo not to be set Fixed layer options being behind menu bar Fixed layer visibility icon being incorrect when drag/drop sorting layers Fixed crash that sometimes happened on rectangle select Fixed crash that sometimes happened when selection is cleared Fixed invisible select
While drawing, I found a few bugs that needed to be resolved: Fixed an issue with the help menu being offset Fixed a crash when adding and removing tracks in succession Fixed a the canvas sometimes being invisible when loading a project Fixed the color swap using the wrong color
