- BETA access - 27 July 2024
Dear players, we decided to open access to the closed version of the game. To do this, you need to go to the Beta section in the game settings in the library and there enter the code for access “sketchpioneer”. Then switch to the beta version of “multiplayerbeta” If the game will not update itself, then uninstall the old version and reinstall the game. A voxel-based level editor and multiplayer will be available to you. Unfortunately, the game was frozen and it's an unfinished game. Have fun!

Also, the project has many difficulties with the technologies we have chosen. After a couple of years of searching and trying to negotiate with publishers we have to admit that there is no funding for the current version of the game. Sketch Tales is an experimental and very innovative project. In it, we tried to do a lot of things, which no one else…

- Closed Beta Bug Fix - 21 November 2016
Hello Sketchers! During last week's 'Play with the Devs' session some users were experiencing a frozen loading screen when trying to join an ongoing match. This ended up being a bit of a tricky bug.... http://i.giphy.com/UAUtB4Oi9U4EM.gif ...but we were able to knock it out. Hooray! There shouldn't be any more frozen loading screens. To update:: open the game properties in the Steam library and click on 'Check the Cache Integrity' in the Local Files tab.
