TL;DR:

  • Study Plan app shows the big picture of available goals and tasks.

  • Add goals to get new tasks.

  • Mark goals complete to hide them from the Drawing app.

Before I could add more tutorials, I had to solve the issue of the Drawing app getting cluttered as you complete more and more tasks.

I also wanted you to have a better overview of your learning journey (than the Progress tracker in the main menu).

Both of these could be solved with a study plan where you could add your goals and mark them complete when you're done. It starts small, as soon as you complete the Basics tutorial.

Over time you will add more goals and gain the ability to plan your journey further ahead. The map will then reveal itself as you complete the tasks.

It's a sort of an overworld view that shows the big picture of what you can do in the game. It also makes it easier to see which things you can solve in parallel and where those branches will lead you.

To mark a goal complete, click on the flagpole and that will also make the tutorials disappear from the Drawing app (you can always bring them back later by clicking on the flag again).

I hope you will enjoy this new look at the game's content and have a better overview of all that you achieved and what else there is to do.

Now I can finally continue with the tutorials. The next one will be on pixel art scale.

See you then and wishing you all a creative and peaceful 2026!
