Hi, whimsical cryptids! This update is on a smaller side this time, but it adds a new setting to games’ menus to enter fullscreen mode and a button to take a static screenshot of your game from a Play tab -> Tools sliding panel. Besides that, I fixed some bugs and added three retro-inspired palettes.

✨ New features

• Debugger: Add a button to save game’s screenshot as a PNG file. Contrary to the GIF recording, this option is available both for desktop and web versions of Whimsy. Additionally, I added spacing between buttons there.
• Player: Add a button to go fullscreen to game’s menu. Fullscreen mode also adds swipe controls for touch devices so you can still play games in fullscreen on touch devices.

⚡ Improvements

• 🌐 Update Russian translations.
• Add a Bluesky social button.
• Export: Export button will report success when the file has been written to the filesystem. It previously reported success too eagerly.
• Palette library: Add Bicycle, ZX Spectrum-like, Colodore, and DMG-01 Accurate palettes.
• Player: Added two additional steps for vertical layout; most modern phones with aspect ratio greater than 16:9 will now have larger control buttons with the same game viewport size.
• Scenario editor: Blocks in the block library will show help when available when hovered, similarly to how blocks on the canvas do it already.

🐞 Bug fixes

• Asset browser: Disable scrolling of the assets list while the sorting mode is active.
• Default “Cancel” and “Ok” buttons in some modal windows will now be translated.
• Desktop, Project selector: Fix project loading errors not being displayed to a user.
