I promised myself not to forget to post the announcement here as forum.gbadev.org is where everything started.

Colors! v1.1 for Nintendo DS has been released. Read about it at http://colors.collectingsmiles.com/a...ent_ds1_10.php

Enjoy!

In September 2007, we released Colors! for Nintendo DS v1.06h. At that point, we had only caught a glimpse of how well-received this small homebrew application would become. Now, three years later, we have over 700,000 downloads and over 45,000 paintings in the Colors! Gallery, created by thousands of amazing artists from all over the world.

Today, we release the long-awaited update for the platform that started it all -- Colors! for Nintendo DS v1.1. Discover our best release to date, with a new brush, high resolution exporting, integration of the online gallery through Wi-Fi, and a core painting experience that has been tuned with great care, and with much consideration of feedback from all of you. Check it out at the Colors! Gallery.

In addition, we also release first issue of Colors! Magazine, a magazine you can read directly from the Colors!, without ever having to leave the application. The first issue is bundled with Colors! for DS v1.1 and features, among other things, an interview with one of the top painters in the Colors! Gallery: Munin.

Finally, many of you have asked for how to contribute to Colors! over the years, and we’ve finally added a donation button added to our site. Don’t hesitate to show your appreciation for the work we’ve put into making Colors! the best homebrew application on the DS. You can also support us by buying the Colors! iPhone application.

And for all our iPhone users out there: Don’t worry, we haven’t forgotten about you. While our most recent focus has been on Colors! for DS, there are exciting times ahead. Stay up to date with all things Colors! at our new Facebook page where we will share the development of everything Colors!.
