What's New in Velarium Studio
1.1
September 10, 2026
Two new ways to draw, something to watch, and a lot of quiet repair. NEW WAYS TO DRAW The drawing room is now split into Free Hand and Guided Drawing, so you can choose between an empty page and one that already has something on it. • Color a Mandala - six designs, printed line art, you choose the colors • Color a Tile Panel - repeating tiles inside borders, from ceramic and encaustic traditions • Draw Your Own Pattern - a bounded shape with a few faint dividing lines, and every mark inside is yours Each one lets you pick a design once you're in, and gives you the right tool to start with: markers for coloring, pencil for pattern work. KALEIDOSCOPES Six of them, in the sensory room. Colored glass, mirrored and turning slowly. Nothing to make and nothing to get right - the only thing asked of you is to look at it. They turn slowly on purpose, and hold still if you have Reduce Motion on. MUSIC "Held Ground": a drone or a slow drum plays underneath while you improvise, so keeping time isn't your job. The five instruments now genuinely sound different from each other, and the ambient layers actually play. SLEEP "A Walk at Night": a forest after dark. Owls, crickets, leaves, a branch somewhere, a river a long way off. GENTLER TOUCHES An optional question at the start of the day about what you want today to ask of you, and an optional one at the end of a session about how you're leaving it. Both are skippable, neither is graded. FIXES Bi-weekly goals no longer crash the app. Guidance text and alert buttons are readable in light mode. Colors in dark mode are the colors you actually picked. Journaling stopped asking how you feel three times in one sitting.
