Major Devlog!

void◆sprite has recieved an update which many of you may find quite interesting! here’s the details:

Android Initial Release

• An initian Android release is provided, which is still a work in progress, as touch controls are still in-progress, although Touch Drawing is available. Please do note that this release is optimized for tablets, and as such we heavily recommend using it on those devices.
