DawCam™
VERSION 1.0 — OUT NOW
NEWThe Flow texture — reads which way the picture is moving and paints it. Sky blue and neon pink, or the full hue circle, on black or white.
NEWIdle privacy. Step away and the camera closes itself, with a card explaining why when you get back.
NEWA secret badge for stepping away from your computer. The only healthy achievement here.
FIXEDThe popped out viewfinder can be dragged anywhere on screen now, including off the top edge.
FIXEDThe Welcome music loops cleanly instead of stuttering at the seam.
COMING
1.1 — THE PUZZLE UPDATE
SOONFree for everyone who owns DawCam. As every update will be.
NOTES FROM THE BUILD
Every update resets your activations
Most plugins treat activation as a thing to defend. The arithmetic
here went the other way: somebody who reinstalls their system twice a
year is not a pirate, and a person locked out of software they paid
for tells more people about it than a happy customer does. So the
count resets with every update, and there are three of them to begin
with.
Nothing phones home
DawCam has no account system, no telemetry and no server. It cannot
tell us how many people use the Pocket lens, which is mildly annoying
and entirely the point. A camera plugin that quietly talked to the
internet would be a bad joke.
On the owl
Soyoung started as a placeholder sprite for testing the tour, and was
never replaced because everybody who saw her liked her more than
whatever was going to replace her. She is startled by loud noises
because of a bug that turned out to be better than the intended
behaviour.
