Some of you may recall that SmileBASIC for Wii U (PetitCom BIG) was confirmed last October. We haven’t heard much since then… so what’s the project’s status?

The Wii U version of SmileBASIC is now planned for release during the summer. Spring was originally targeted, but that window has obviously passed.

SmileBoom said that it will be using the extra time to make a better product. The development team also apologized to those who have been looking forward to its release.

HullBreach Studios has prepared a new trailer for SDK Paint version 4, posted below. Here’s the video:

The indie developer also passed along a bunch of details about what’s included in the update. Continue on below for the full breakdown.

We are so grateful for all the support from gamers over the past 18 months, so we wanted this grande finale before moving to SDK Spriter. For those new to SDK Paint: it’s a layer based art studio that supports painting, pixel art, filters, effects, and more. It doesn’t stop there, though. The extra features are what I am covering:

STENCILS: These are grayscale underlay images that can be traced to help create some amazing art. With this update, there are 25 new (free!) Stencils, including Renaissance Art, Post-Renaissance Art, Asian Art, and a Tomeling: Darkness Falls UV map. With the update, existing art can be loaded into the Painting screen after importing a Stencil, which makes continuing where you left off even easier!

GALLERIES: These are 3D raycasted rooms with the art hanging on the walls. They support several controller schemes and contain many shaders and effects. Now, all Galleries are 720P resolution with enhanced shaders – like depth-of-field – and gain selectable background music. 4 Galleries are included, and 12 more are available as DLC.

SLIDESHOWS: These are completely new to this version. They are animated transitions between existing art, with accompanying music. Speed and background color are customizable. 2 Slideshows are included, and 6 more are available as DLC. SHARING: Previously, this screen supported posting art to Miiverse™ in 2D or layer-expanded anaglyph 3D. Now, with this update, Miiverse gains stamps. Yet, the big new feature is the Online Gallery athttps://gallery.sdkpaint.com. This website lets artists post their art online with all layers intact. The art can be viewed in a variety of image formats, including the 3D MPO format on the Nintendo 3DS browser! Through this website, art will be able to import into several future Wii U games, including UCraft (NexisGames), HullBreach: Uncloaked, Tomeling: Darkness Falls, and U Match It! (all HullBreach Studios). Thank you, once again, for all your support! We hope you will enjoy v4 as much as we do!

Bloomylight Studio has completely pulled the plug on Lynn and the Spirits of Inao – including the game’s Kickstarter – following some serious accusations.

Interns who were at the company have apparently come forward within the past few days, claiming that they were not paid for their work. Bloomylight can be found in France where it’s illegal not to pay interns when the internship lasts more than two months.

Bloomylight posted a message on Kickstarter to announce the end of its project yesterday. However, it did not specifically address the recent allegations. You can read it in full below.
