Draw a character or a prop in the pixel editor and put it on stage. Everything you paint is kept in your Wardrobe.
In Cast or Props, choose Paint your own. Draw on the grid with the pencil, fill and eraser, in the same palette as the rest of the art, one or two tiles wide or tall. Give it a name and it is ready to place, in this story and every one you run after.
Your Wardrobe keeps every piece you painted. From there you can stop further use of a piece; stories already played keep it.
After the curtain, you can give your partner the pieces you painted for that story. They find them in their Wardrobe, credited to you, to use in their own stories.
Your first piece is free; Stagehands paint as many as they like.
