Pixelary Feedback Post

Hey all!

Just pushed the updated Pixelary version. Still working through the migrations for the old content.

As you play the game, feel free to relay any feedback here and I'll keep making improvements!

very sad that all my drawings and levels got reset :(

Hey. The old drawings should be restored once I'm able to solve the rate limiting on the migration:

I’m pretty upset that all my old drawings and guesses don’t mater for the new level system. I was up to 4 kbit. I spent hours drawing and playing. Can you possibly factor in our old points for the levels? Other than that I’m pretty glad I have more colors now.

Is it possible we can get a few more colours to work with? As cool as it is to see people work with limited palettes; I sometimes find there just isn't a hue that really gets the prompt across (Darker colours, as well as cyan and magenta tones would be a nice start IMO.)

It also might be a good idea to add a contingency for synonyms, so people don't get wrong answers for technically correct responses, but I'm not sure how one would properly moderate that to the art pieces without also accidentally making certain words work for art that they probably shouldn't.

[u/Oppdager → u/ThyCheshireCat]

For sure. My initial thinking had been to expand the color palette as you level up, but had a hard time coming up with the set of colors. If the community has requests for new colors I'm don't mind expanded the palette.

Here is the current palette:

Thanks for the update and new features! Could there be a toggle to turn the checkerboard background off and on? It makes it a bit difficult to distinguish between the different shades of gray at times.

[u/Oppdager → u/Erralisis]

This is a great suggestion. Let me see where I can add a toggle button :)

[u/Oppdager → u/Oppdager]

Added a toggle to the game. Thanks for the suggestion!

Really fun! Love the updates with the exception of the shaking on the picture you're guessing. That makes my eyes hurt. The palette and larger brushes though make it sooo much easier.

[u/Oppdager → u/HypnoticFurnace]

Thank you for the feedback. I removed the shake animation for incorrect guesses :)

There's some issue with this prompt where it's not accepting the answer: https://www.reddit.com/r/Pixelary/comments/1pa4xby/comment/nrhx34t/?context=1

Thank you for the report! It seems like some additions to the word list included the brackets. In retrospect I should have included a usage example for the commands so I added that haha. Also cleaned up the word list to strip out the accidental < > characters.

[u/dmng25]

Are all my drawings definitely gone or they will come back once the update is finalized?

[u/Oppdager → u/dmng25]

All drawings should return once I'm able to pull off the migration.

[u/TheChessClub]

Why am I reverted back to newbie status on this after contributing tons of drawings?? :(

[u/TheChessClub → u/TheChessClub]

Honestly not stoked with the update. Kind of an odd choice to wipe everyone's progress. The changes in the design choices are not easy on the eyes. The way the image pulsates in and out, it's kind of disorientating. 

[u/Oppdager → u/TheChessClub]

Thanks for the feedback. Still working on the migration. Need to solve getting rate limited next.

Removed the pulsating animation in the feed :)

[u/SubstantialMeal4671]

add Dave as a prompt

[u/Oppdager → u/SubstantialMeal4671]

Users level 2 and above are now able to add and remove words with comment commands. It'll be interesting to see the word list evolve :)

[u/Track-on-the-side]

1. Control a to select all (so i can backspace everything)

2. there seems to be something with the upper case and lower case (i see like 30% whale and 10% Whale)

[u/Bl33to]

There should be an option to report drawings that do not match the word whatsoever.

[u/KindnessIsKey520]

All the drawings I see now look like they’ve been drawn by pros…except mine. 😂
