- Drawing Engine Improved! - 29 October 2025
Drawing Engine Improved! 🖊This update brings a huge improvement:Drawing in Doodle Champs has always felt great for players using Wacom tablets, but other brands like Huion & XP-Pen felt less responsive due to their less native support. I was always unsatisfied with this difference, and I wanted the game to feel good no matter what tablet you're using - BUT NO LONGER! ✨ PatricSquid and I got to work! Drawing should now feel silky smooth and more responsive - no matter what tablet you're using! My pre-patch playtesters in the discord community mostly use Huion & XP-PEN tablets, and I'm so happy with how fluid and responsive drawing feels for everyone now. I hope you enjoy a smoother drawing experience! 🔥 A big thanks to PatricSquid for his work on these improvements. Full Patch Notes & Bugfixes:🔷 Pen & Input system improved!🔷 Drawing Engine improved for all tablet users.🐞 Fixed a bug…

- FULL STEAM DECK SUPPORT! - 10 July 2025
The STEAM DECK UPDATE is here!Draw on the touch screen, or use our innovative button control scheme to doodle - no matter how you play, Doodle Champs feels great on Deck! 🎨 ...And with your support, maybe it'll end up being ported to the Nintendo Switch systems too. Though that is a distant dream and would require a lot more funding that I personally don't have at this time. This being a self-funded project means that a Switch 2 version can only happen if many people support the PC release. If you'd like to donate towards a Switch Developer Kit for me and PatricSquid to use to port the game to Switch, please consider donating to my Ko-fi here: https://ko-fi.com/alexsquiddev 💚✌In the meantime, PC players will continue to receive free updates! We've got a full roadmap here! No promised timescales, but I will be working hard at my full-time job to fund these future updates. Doodle Champs…

The ultimate arty-party game for artists and doodlers alike IS HERE! Play an exciting assortment of doodle-tastic party games with endless replayability, or just draw on a shared online canvas with your friends! Doodle Champs is optimized for play with Wacom tablets, but all pen-wielders and mouse-masters are welcome! Free of subscription services, microtransactions, AI, and NFT nonsense. Doodle Champs is my gift to the art community. I wanted to make a place for artists to hang out and play fun mini-games together, but not just basic touch-functionality games - I wanted functional pen pressure, something I've never seen implemented into other art games have implemented to this day. I'm incredibly proud of how the game's turned out, with 4 insanely replayable, hilariously fun party games that never fail to get a laugh.

- Steam Deck Compatibility - 3 March 2025
Hey Doodle Champs! 🎨 We're planning on full Steam Deck compatibility once the main PC version of the game has been completed. Demo Compatibility Status I'm happy to say that the Doodle Champs Demo works surprisingly well on Steam Deck! This is a surprise because we haven't added any official support for it yet, this is purely a byproduct of working on other types of peripheral support. You can draw by using your finger on the touch screen, or move the cursor with the Right Joystick and Press R2 to draw. The same goes for interacting with the menus. Enhance your experience! If you want to enhance your experience further, I suggest using any standard touch screen stylus. Planned support We're hoping to fully support the Steam Deck version after release, actually looking into comfortable key bindings and ensuring the touch support feels as good as it possibly can. Don't expect Pen Pressur…
