Hey Dungeoneers,

With a bunch of spritework improvements starting in v4.0.0, I decided to spend a little time looking at historical stuff in the changes scene this week. Currently if a visual asset is updated in the main game it’s updated in the changes scene too. It doesn’t really feel right for something like a v0.1.0 change to use item sprites from v4.0 though, so I’ve decided to change that!

I’ve now converted the changes screen to use its own dedicated icons file, so that icons can be accurate to when a particular update was released. I’ve even decided to add the original release notes for Pixel Dungeon for good measure, going all the way back to v0.1 in December 2012! This ended up being a lot of work, the changes scene currently has almost 275 unique icons!

Here’s how that looks on the oldest set of changes from 0.2 and prior. Current on left and new on right:

An image showing Shattered Pixel Dungeon's changes screen for some very old updates from 2012-2015. The version on the left includes a bunch of new pixel art releasing with the upcoming update, whereas the version on the right uses icons that are accurate to when each update was released. The right version also includes a new section at the bottom for changes to the original Pixel Dungeon.

    Nah, the new sprites are objectively better, genuine advice, get new glasses or lenses

      This is art, its all subjective.

      These aren’t the new sprites either, the actual new sprites will probably be revealed in v4
