Hello everyone! Today we have released an update to Puzzle Compound introducing some new features as well re-enabling voice chat with a new system.

Patch Notes

UI Updates

We have updated the way we display interacting and dropping objects. Now when you look at an object it will popup interact text around it to inform you what interacting with it does and what button to press to interact with it. Dropping item text is now displayed in the bottom left corner or next to item, whichever is more convenient. Note text now appears at the bottom of the screen and will resize to fill the content as needed. Notifications will appear in the top right, whenever they are displayed.

Ping System

Whenever you have something important you want to remember like a puzzle’s location you can now use our ping system. Pressing the ping button with place a marker on the map at that location. When looking away the marker will stay on the screen so that you can always find it. Looking at the marker again and pressing the ping button will dismiss it.

Ready Up & Character Selection

We’ve updated how you share codes in game and start the game as well as now allow each player to change their skin rather than have one randomly assigned. In the map there is a display that describes the scenario and has buttons to view/copy the code. Each player also has a display associated with them where they can change the skin of their character as well as ready up. Once all players are readied up, the game will start after a short countdown.

Other Features

• You can now press a button to see your character in third person
• We’ve made some efficiency updates to hopefully have the game run better
• Voice chat is re-enabled using a new voice chat system

Social Media

In an effort to try to gain at least 1000 wishlists by the time we release, we hope to start releasing more content on our YouTube channel and Twitter account to show off puzzles, new features, and how we developed parts of the game. If you’re interested in getting a sneak peak of some of the things we’re working on, we recommend you give our YouTube channel or Twitter account a follow!
