Graphics tablet support!

[NightCreeper44]

So what do you guys all think about possibly having tablet support? For me, I'm really excited!

[Krondelo]

Heck yes, I haven't used my Wacom in ages. This got me to dust it off and download the driver.

I'm not that excited. I think he should have left it out because i think it ruins the experience of the game

[Conker]

Then don't use it?

[razgon]

I hope its not just wacom tablets, but also other tablets, like Samsung that I use to draw on myself.

[Darkholder]

I'm looking forward to it!

I'm mixed about it. I feel like in adding tablet support, people are going to demand it to function more like photoshop. We've already got people clambering for undos and layer functions... and in doing so it becomes less like a game and more like a simple art program.. which I think ruins the magic.

for me its the other way around

obviously this kind of game attracts hobby artists that are used to a tablet and art programs

so some basic features like tablet support , layers and stuff are a must have

right now the game has the potential to be magical but being forced to use mouse only + missing basic features really drags out the joy after a while

thing is the game should offer options for all kind of artists
id love to draw with basic art program tools while having a game around it

i dont get why more options would ruin it
no one takes away the option to just use the mouse and have fun

worst case would be that such art is some kind of a gateway drug and after a while people are used to drawing with tablet + basic editing tools so they become interested in a real art program

all existing artists have a blast playing this game too because it offers the basics of digital drawing

its a win win

and like i said no one takes the magic away from you with offering more options
just paint how you like it but gatekeeping doesnt help anyone

let other artists have fun too

It is a great idea. I have a wacom tablet.

I get that, but also I think it takes away from the point of the game... which is PAINTING on a CANVAS (not trying to be rude, just emphasizing)
So, I totally get the appeal of wanting layers and ways to undo... but you can't do that with real canvases. I also get "if you don't like the option don't use it" and I also won't, I just genuinely feel that it doesn't really ... fit the game, yknow? Maybe if they were implemented as tools, like upgrades to your canvas or something, that comes later game? Or it costs money to magically undo stuff, I don't know. That aside, tablet support is great, I love the idea and plan to use it myself.

Be patient, I think they keep their promises)

[Bella Mae Cupcake]

I think tablet support will be great! Personally, I just want to play this game as is with a tablet instead of a mouse.

No offense, but we accept limitations of programs all the time. Passpartout had tablet support and I don't think anyone expected that to be much more than MS Paint in functionality, certainly not many people if you can find some who would have liked it. MS Paint has limitations, Drawception has limitations, Draw Something had limitations, most of us would just like to draw freely as we're comfortable and used to drawing rather than struggling with the controls to try to create something instead of just hopping in and experiencing the joy of creation.

I guess I could just set my mouse sense down all the way to reduce the risk of weird, haphazard errors, but I don't want to labor towards creating something fun, instead of just having fun with it.
