What started as a DS homebrew application has now turned into a licensed game.
Collecting Smiles, the company behind Colors!, have made the announcement of an official 3DS version available on the eShop.
Colors! 3D will not only have the features from the original, like online uploading and to watch a time lapse of your drawing, now you can paint in 3D and collaborate in real time with up to four friends.
Official announcement
Friends: we are happy and excited to announce Colors! 3D, coming this Fall to the Nintendo 3DS eShop. For the first time, artists will be able to create and view their own 3D paintings! We promise that you will love what you can do.
Colors! 3D will also offer real-time collaborative painting for up to four people using local Wi-Fi. Collaborative painting lets you paint with your friends with all the same depth you have when painting solo – but with more fun!
Last but not least, the Colors! Gallery will be integrated into the application, making it easy to share your creations with the community and learn from your friends' techniques.
Are you sure it'll still have pressure sensetivity? I wanna know where you heard that, because it sounds pretty unlikely, seeing as Nintendo don't acknowledge that ability of the touch screen. But if it does, that would be great, seeing as that was the best feature of the original. It's just no where else I've read this news says it'll keep that function.
Wow, I loved the Homebrew version (which I still have...) Although putting it on the 3DS might lower the number of people who get to try it, this seems awesome!
Well, it's a big STFU to all those who say "homebrew can never be published", just because of what happened to Bob. The blatant fact remains - they'll publish whatever they fucking want to.
