Hello Everyone! :3

As of the time I'm writing this, it has been 69 (nice) days since the first devlog, so I felt that I should update all of you on the progress of the next update. I thought the previous update was big, but 0.9 has shown to be just as huge an undertaking. In the previous devlog, I mentioned that "the state of the project is rough," due to the large volume of mediocre or poorly written segments of code; the program is filled with redundant code and inefficiencies. In order to resolve these issues, I've decided to almost completely reprogram everything. Building from the ground up has allowed me to add cool new features and work to resolve some of the aforementioned issues. With all that said, I'll get to the main point of this devlog: 

Please Give Me Feedback!!

What new features do you want to see added? What do you think could be improved? Are there any customization options you think could be expanded upon or added? If you want something to be added, let me know! I want to make this post viewer better than all of the alternatives, and I can't do that without feedback from all of you!
Here's some of the new features I've already added:

  • A functional blacklist!
  • The ability to remove individual posts that have been found.
  • The ability to toggle image preloading & a completely redesigned method of displaying images (which will hopefully allow the post viewer to run better on less powerful devices)
  • New stroke indicator sounds that aren't dependent on external sources
  • And some more that I'm probably forgetting

Continuing Development

Currently, I'm working on the project whenever I get enough free time to devote to it. I'm completely amazed by how many people play this game each day and how many of you have downloaded it for personal use (version 0.8 has 499 downloads as of the time I'm writing this). With all of the support everyone has shown, I'm determined to continue working on this project. Seriously, you're all so amazing, and I cannot thank you enough.


Again, please give me all of your feedback. Each opinion counts towards making this post viewer the best it can be! After I post the next update, I'll add a comment thread for feature requests as well :D
