October 15, 2026Octarine Studio

Octarine Studio 0.7.0.0 is available to download, the first release built on Qt 6 and the first with installers for macOS, Windows and Linux.

Breaking

  • Map editor shortcuts moved: Flip is Shift+F, Rotate is Ctrl+R and Mirror is Shift+M.
  • Update check moved: this version checks the shared twistedraven.net feed. 0.6.8.11 and earlier check downloads/octarine.json and are not told about this release by the new feed.

Added

  • Native look: each platform’s own style, light and dark appearance, and Lucide icons
  • Sprites placed on maps, with or without an animation, edited in a popover beside the sprite [Place Sprite]
  • Map Objects and Map Sprites docks, selected together with the place tools
  • Undo and redo for pixel, map, colour, tile, sprite and animation edits [Edit menu]
  • Rectangle, filled rectangle and circle tools
  • A Map toolbar with layer visibility, viewport, background, transparency and snap
  • Update checking, with a release dialog, Skip This Version and a daily, weekly or monthly check [Help → Check for Updates]
  • Installers: a Windows installer and portable zip, signed and notarised macOS disk images for Apple Silicon and Intel, a Linux AppImage, a Debian package and an Arch package

Fixed

  • Crashes when saving a project with a palette-less sprite bank, image or tile set, and when using tile ids with a placed animation
  • Map editing drew, pasted and placed on hidden layers
  • Loading a project leaked memory for every archive entry, and deleted inserted tiles leaked
  • The map Pick tool did not return to the previous tool, and deleting the last animation frame showed the first
  • Save, new project and export messages were garbled
