I'd like to briefly talk about something I've been hinting at a couple times before: The Sally's Scribbles Post-Jam Update. CAFE DNOCÉ has been hard at work at doing all the things we just didn't have the time to do in the jam's timeframe. From an improved draw rating algorithm, to new features and some quality of life changes.

While the release timeframe is still TBA, here is a short run-down of things that are either planned or have already been developed: - Improved drawing detection: By far the feedback we got the most was that drawings were too easy to just scribble off and you'd get more profit than you would by trying. It's a tough nut to crack, and we ran into a lot of dead ends, but we hope what we came up with will be satisfactory. - Saving: Using the "take a break" button on the pre-game screen you will be able to suspend your game, returning to it at a later time - Seasons: Instead of real-life days, the game's days are now divided into the four seasons, bringing with them new weathers and faces. Seasons are a lot shorter than in real life, as well. - More drawing variety: Drawing prompts may now show up flipped, upside-down or recolored, shaking up the gameplay when Broccoli Steven wants his seventh daily picture of Broccoli. - Reimagined thunderstorms: Thunderstorm days, as well as some new "extreme" weathers, are now playable. However, they are shorter days, putting a stricter upper limit on possible earnings. - Rebalanced expenses: Instead of hiking your rent every other day, expenses will be a bit more dynamic, with utensil cost scaling based on the number of canvases used in a day, and seasonal expenses coming into play. - QOL: Not much to go into detail here, though that 3-2-1-go! sequence in the gif does look enticing, does it not?

The Post-Jam Update will be posted exclusively onto the game's itch.io page, when we finish it within the next weeks. If you want to be alerted when it comes up, drop a follow. If you haven't played Sally's Scribbles yet but the name "Broccoli Steven" makes your heart go doki-doki like nothing else, you can play it right here! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/51/sallys-scribbles
