Dev Video: "Stamp Snipper" Tool

If you've been active in the community this month, you'll remember a very recent promotional video focused on the Shape Tool!

One of the most common questions we saw was:

"Can we automate stamp outlines?"

Rather than drawing them yourself by dragging nodes around, we've been prototyping a new tool to do just that. We call it the "Stamp Snipper"...

As we expected, it's been riddled with headaches. We originally tried this once before, many years ago, and to no avail. Luckily, Restitched is a very different game today, so now it's mostly possible!

This tool still has lots of quirks. For instance, some Stamps don't cut out at all, or they leave tiny fragments instead. We notice the issue most often with transparency, thin lines, and complex graphics.

Regardless of edge case issues, this is still a useful tool to speed up creation! We hope to see it refined and in the final game. <3
