=={{Icon|Book}} Story==
 +
The game is set after the original ''[[Drawn to Life]]'', and [[Mari]] is now the mayor of [[Rapoville]]. She also has an assistant named [[Circi]]. The creations of the village are being stolen, so [[Creator|The Creator]] sends [[Hero|The Hero]] to help the village once again. [[Jowee]] suggests that [[Zsasha]] has stolen the items and ran off into [[Jangala]]. Mari sends The Hero and Jowee to Jangala to find Zsasha, but they find out that Zsasha has been held captive by the [[Monkey King]]. Mari then realizes that Zsasha didn't steal the items, and fears that [[Wilfre]] has returned. She sends The Hero and Jowee to [[Shadow City]] to check for signs of Wilfre's presence. They find the ink factory making Shadow Creatures again, and they also find [[Wilfre's Journal]] which holds a plan to destroy The Creator. To do that, he needs the four [[Artifacts of Power]]: [[Branches from the Tree of Ages]], a [[Pen and Pencil]], the [[Eternal Furnace]] and the [[Crystal Mask]]. They already have a pen and pencil from Wilfre's journal, and the mask was given to them by the Monkey King. Mari then sends The Hero and Jowee to the [[Icy Wastes]] to retrieve the Eternal Furnace. After they find it [[Galileo]] tells them that the [[Tree of Ages]] is in trouble. The Hero goes to save it and obtain the branches. When all the items are together, Circi then reveals that she is in love with Wilfre. She uses the artifacts to try and bring Wilfre back from the dead and attempts to draw him, but forgets what he looks like. She accidentally creates the [[Giant Scribble Monster]] that attacks her and the village. The Hero must defeat it, and then the Raposa celebrate with a feast.

Compared to the [[Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter|DS version]], this version of Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter received mainly mixed reviews from critics. The main criticism stemmed from the questionable optimization of the Wiimote's pointer for [[Draw Mode (Wii)|Draw Mode]], with other notable complaints being aimed at the gameplay and story, which critics considered not as well-developed as previous titles. As for praise, critics sung theirs over to the visual style, variety of Draw Mode tools and gameplay mechanics such as the level-specific gimmicks and [[Action Drawing]]. According to Metacritic, the aggregated score averaged out at a total of 58/100<ref>[https://www.metacritic.com/game/drawn-to-life-the-next-chapter/critic-reviews/?platform=wii Metacritic, Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (Wii)]</ref>, making it the third lowest-rated game in the series.
 +
 
 +
===Sales===
 +
Sales numbers of the game are rather obscure, but according to THQ's fiscal year report, the game sold over 1 million copies<ref>[https://last10k.com/sec-filings/thqi/0001047469-10-005774.htm THQ Fiscal Annual Report, March 2010]</ref>. However, with the Wii counterpart selling more units than the DS version and the versions not specified, it is speculated that the units of both are combined.

* According to [[Jowee]], the game takes place during the summertime. Despite this, according to [[Heather]], she still goes to school over the summer.
 +
* The Instruction Manuals for this game and its DS counterpart are both stylized to look like the [[Book of Life]].
 +
* Instead of only featuring [[Shadow]], Ink and Scribble are also used by [[Circi]] to accomplish her goals. The ink is primarily manifested in [[Shadow City]] as the main plot device of the gate, and scribble is manifested exclusively in the [[Giant Scribble Monster]].
 +
* Although [[Jowee]] states that [[Wilfre]]'s plan was to burn the [[Branches from the Tree of Ages]] in the [[Eternal Furnace]] to make Creation Ink, this plan is never carried out by Circi. In reality, she uses the Branches and Furnace, along with the other [[Artifacts of Power]] to create the [[Bad Mannequin]], upon which she tries to draw Wilfre.
 +
** It is unknown whether this is a plot hole or a miscalculation of the plan on Jowee's part.
 +
* According to Character Artist [[Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (Wii) Credits|Eric Maki]] and Additional Artist [[Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (Wii) Credits|Thomas Denmark]], the last six months of development were part of a crunch, meaning that the team was working long days, 6-7 days a week to get the game out on time.
 +
* Much like the [[Drawn to Life|original game]], the Australian release was commemorated with a competition, this time involving contestants to draw their own Hero.
 +
** The winning prize was a Nintendo DSi for themselves and everyone in their class, and a copy of this version of the game.
 +
** As part of said competition, a competitive flash game was created, titled "Action Draw Jumper". You can read more about it [https://drawntolife.wiki/en/Action_Draw_Jumper here].
 +
* In the UK, THQ worked with a number of primary schools to trial using both versions of Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter to help engage kids in art.<ref>https://www.mcvuk.com/business-news/publishing/drawn-to-life-conquers-the-classroom/</ref>
 +
** A competition was also held in the UK to get participants' heroes displayed on a billboard, with ten regions being represented.
 +
* According to [[Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (Wii) Credits|Scott Rogers]], the uDraw peripheral was created to make drawing on the Wii easier after seeing the difficultly of drawing with the Wii remote<ref>[https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6777678150928359424/ Scott Rogers' LinkedIn]</ref>.
 +
* This game released with two of only four pieces of merchandise made throughout the entire [[Drawn to Life series]] - a branded pack of [[Wikipedia:Crayola|Crayola]] sidewalk chalk and an iron-on transfer sticker.
 +
** The chalk was given to reviewers<ref>[https://technogog.com/review/drawn-to-life-the-next-chapter-nintendo-wii/ Technogog Review]</ref>, while the iron-on transfer was released exclusively in Australia.

“Your Hero. New Adventures.”

–Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter Box Art


Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter is the non-canon sequel to Drawn to Life, developed by Planet Moon Studios, and published by THQ. There is a canon version of the game developed by 5th Cell for the DS, known as Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter.

AButton.pngGameplay[edit]

Like the previous Drawn to Life, Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter is a platformer in which the player draws their own Hero to play as. New to the game is Action Drawing mode, which allows the player to draw directly into the game.


Book Icon.png Story[edit]

The game is set after the original Drawn to Life, and Mari is now the mayor of Rapoville. She also has an assistant named Circi. The creations of the village are being stolen, so The Creator sends The Hero to help the village once again. Jowee suggests that Zsasha has stolen the items and ran off into Jangala. Mari sends The Hero and Jowee to Jangala to find Zsasha, but they find out that Zsasha has been held captive by the Monkey King. Mari then realizes that Zsasha didn't steal the items, and fears that Wilfre has returned. She sends The Hero and Jowee to Shadow City to check for signs of Wilfre's presence. They find the ink factory making Shadow Creatures again, and they also find Wilfre's Journal which holds a plan to destroy The Creator. To do that, he needs the four Artifacts of Power: Branches from the Tree of Ages, a Pen and Pencil, the Eternal Furnace and the Crystal Mask. They already have a pen and pencil from Wilfre's journal, and the mask was given to them by the Monkey King. Mari then sends The Hero and Jowee to the Icy Wastes to retrieve the Eternal Furnace. After they find it Galileo tells them that the Tree of Ages is in trouble. The Hero goes to save it and obtain the branches. When all the items are together, Circi then reveals that she is in love with Wilfre. She uses the artifacts to try and bring Wilfre back from the dead and attempts to draw him, but forgets what he looks like. She accidentally creates the Giant Scribble Monster that attacks her and the village. The Hero must defeat it, and then the Raposa celebrate with a feast.


List of Gates[edit]

Jangala[edit]

Jangala is the first gate in the game. It has a forest theme and is split into 6 levels. This gate has no boss, and the Artifact of Power found in this gate is the Crystal Mask.

Shadow City[edit]

Shadow City is the second gate in the game. It has a shadow theme and is split into 6 levels. The boss of this gate is the Boss, and the Artifact of Power found in this gate is the Pen and Pencil.

Icy Wastes[edit]

Icy Wastes is the third gate in the game. It has a icy theme and is split into 6 levels. This gate has no boss, and the Artifact of Power found in this gate is the Eternal Furnace.

Eastern Winds[edit]

Eastern Winds is the fourth and final gate in the game. It has a sky theme and is split into 6 levels. This gate has no boss, and the Artifact of Power found in this gate is the Branches from the Tree of Ages.

Rapoville[edit]

Although not technically a separate gate, the final level of the game happens here. The boss of this "gate" is the Giant Scribble Monster, and no Artifact of Power is found here.

Gears.png Features[edit]

Action Drawing[edit]

Action Drawing can be done during gameplay within certain areas defined by dashed lines, using the Wiimote as a pointer to draw.

  • BlueBrush.pngBasic Ink (Blue): Introduced in 1-1, Jangala Floor. Creates a static platform or ramp for the Hero to stand on. The Hero can't jump through Basic Ink platforms, unless the player draws the platform without releasing the B button, then jumps above it and immediately releases B, making the platform solid.
  • RedBrush.pngPhysics Ink (Red): Introduced in 1-2, Jangala Climb. In-game explanation: "Action Drawings done in Physics Ink will immediately fall with gravity. They will also be affected by the world, enemies, and more!"
  • GreenBrush.pngBouncy Ink (Green): Introduced in 2-1, Shadow City Outer Walls. In-game explanation: "Action Drawings done in Bouncy Ink will bounce you away from the drawing when you come in contact with it."

Cheat Codes[edit]

  • To get 100 free Rapo-Coins:
    • Pause during play
    • Hold the Wii remote upside down
    • Enter A, B, C, Up (on D-pad)

Compared to the DS version, this version of Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter received mainly mixed reviews from critics. The main criticism stemmed from the questionable optimization of the Wiimote's pointer for Draw Mode, with other notable complaints being aimed at the gameplay and story, which critics considered not as well-developed as previous titles. As for praise, critics sung theirs over to the visual style, variety of Draw Mode tools and gameplay mechanics such as the level-specific gimmicks and Action Drawing. According to Metacritic, the aggregated score averaged out at a total of 58/100[1], making it the third lowest-rated game in the series.

Sales[edit]

Sales numbers of the game are rather obscure, but according to THQ's fiscal year report, the game sold over 1 million copies[2]. However, with the Wii counterpart selling more units than the DS version and the versions not specified, it is speculated that the units of both are combined.




Rift forest08.png Beta[edit]

As with any form of entertainment, and especially with video games, many things were planned to be a part of this game, but were not implemented in the final release. A compilation of unused and removed features from this game can be found here.
