3.2.0
2023-07-28
Thank you for creating with Plays and being a part of our creative community.
We are thrilled to introduce vectors into this version. With vectors, you can now build compositions, designs, and animations in a completely fresh and innovative way.
You have the flexibility to keep them static or animate and edit each element individually.
This marks the first step towards and new approach within Plays, setting the foundation for the upcoming feature of user-generated vectors. We can't wait to see the incredible designs and compositions that will emerge. Show us what you are making with @weareplays
Stay tuned for the future updates, as we continue to enhance our creative toolkit.
Thank you!
