Fixed crash when using move pieces to table button
Fixed missing textures on candles (Drive failure resulted in corrupt file I didn't notice until now)
Fixed crash that could happen when creating piece physics collision mesh
Modified the number of pieces per mesh chunk to try and make it a bit faster when picking up a group of multiple pieces.
Hello all. We've been working on a larger update that focuses on issues and requests from users, but we wanted to get this update out right away as a number of people are affected with the issue.
A previous update moved bevel normal map creation to the GPU, and while it did significantly increase the puzzle creation speed some users have had crashes when trying to create larger puzzles (5,000+ pieces). This is because if the GPU takes longer than 2 seconds to do anything it shuts down and crashes the game (which is limited by a windows setting).
So we've been working hard at trying to optimize the shader code for creating the puzzle bevels and have made significant improvements. With this update the creation is now split into a number of steps and testing has shown that for a 20,000 piece puzzle on a 980gtx each step take less than a tenth of a second. This should be more than enough leeway to avoid crashes even on slower computers.
If you previously experienced crashes trying to create larger puzzles you may want to try again after applying this update.
We've also added a new Debug branch to select that gives more detailed error messages with crashes.
To access this, right click on the game in your steam library, then select "Game Versions & Betas" from the left, then select the version "Debug - With Error Logs".
If you are experiencing game crashes for any other reason please select this Debug version and then run the game until you get a crash. You can then report the error message you get to the steam forums or our discord found here:

Hello hello!
We're pleased to present a brand new free feature update!
This new free update provides an awesome set of tools that allows you to create as many gradient puzzles as you like, with any colors you can think of, and is of course fully compatible with multiplayer.
Because of how the gradients are created it means that they will have infinite detail. This means that no matter what size puzzle you create, the color transitions will be smoooth.
These screenshots show off an example of an 8,000 piece puzzle. Even with a super large puzzle like this there are no artifacts or imperfections that normal static images could have due to resolution or image quality etc.
To get started just go to Select New Puzzle, then look for the new Gradient Maker button in the list:
There's multiple options for creating gradients, Grid and Stripes, each with their own unique settings that allows for lots of experimentation.
Grid type Gradients
Edit colors for 8 points that blend around this gradient type. Each point can be toggled on or off to offer even more possibilities.
Stripe type Gradients
Add as many stripes as you want with up to 16 colors per stripe. Add multiple colors to blend between, or try non-blended single colors for an extra challenge
You can use Stripe Blend to create unique gradients between Stripes, or set to 0 for hard edges
Make your puzzles as wide or tall as you'd like!
Once you've created your perfected gradients, you can save them as a preset. We've also of course included a wide range of default presets so that you can get right to puzzling. These can also be edited to easily adjust colors and settings to your liking.
Full Patch Notes:
Added New Gradient Puzzle Maker
Fixed issue where preview image remained locked after starting a new puzzle
Fixed issue where preview image button showed when selecting to not show preview image
Fixed issues with chair collision that could causes pieces to disappear
Updated main chair collision to be much more accurate
When rotation is off and puzzle is taller than table but will fit sideways, game now changes the fixed rotation to make sure it fits on the table
Fixed crash when attempting to grab connected pieces in Pickup Single Piece mode and then switching back to Normal grab mode
Fixed issue where puzzle timer would show when no puzzle was loaded
Fixed issue where timer did not show the first time you loaded a puzzle
Fixed issue clicking on another color while color picker is open in edit cursor trails menu
Fixed issue where settings menu was cut off on certain resolutions
We hope you all enjoy!
This is just the beginning, as we plan to add more options to this down the line. Next though we'll be focused on going through our list of user suggestions and bug fixes. After that the next big update planned; Having multiple puzzles loaded in the room at the same time!

We've are also starting work on a new game! It's really early stages so cannot say much, but can say it will be a game focused on exploration across the sea and islands inspired by games like Sea of Thieves and Minecraft.
This bundle contains all DLC including the Stickers & More pack with a 45% discount!
When we came up with the idea of the sticker pack it was originally meant as more of a supporter pack that contained a few stickers as a bonus. However during development the pack ended up becoming much more.
Because of all we ended up adding (over 2,000 stickers, over 200 challenges to complete, tons of indie game stickers, cursor trails) it ended up becoming much more than a supporter pack although we still ended up releasing it as such. Previously it stood alone as an extra bonus and players were often missing out on it with the existing bundle that only contains extra puzzles.
So finally we've decided to include the sticker pack in an all-in-one DLC bundle. The previous bundle with only the puzzle packs will still be available, while the new Complete Pack bundle that includes everything will be discounted even more for 45% off.
Keep in mind if you already purchased the puzzle packs you can still use the Complete Pack bundle to get a discount on the Stickers & More DLC.
Here is a rundown of what to expect from purchasing the DLC.
The sticker pack contains over 2,000 unique stickers to unlock. You can place them in your room or in the rooms of friends you visit in multiplayer! Use as decoration, marking puzzle locations, or just have some fun sticker time with friends.
You can decorate with stickers everywhere, even over puzzles hanging on your wall.
A new way to emote with your cursors! Press a button to activate and draw attention to puzzle pieces or go into party mode when someone puts the last piece in.
Customize the style and colors yourself. Many styles to choose from, including Butterflies, Bats, Snow, Puzzle Pieces, and more, each with their own unique animations and options!
At the start you will have around 800 stickers unlocked, each within sticker sheets of different categories. By completing sticker challenges you can unlock many more!
You can check out the list of sticker challenges by clicking the trophy icon in the sticker menu. This will list hints for each challenge. Most require deciphering the clue and placing stickers on top of each other or in the room.
As an example the "Chef Cat" challenge, requires placing any cat sticker down, and then placing a chef hat sticker on the cat!
Sometimes a challenge will unlock a key sticker. You can use this key to open a chest giving you an entire new sticker sheet with tons more stickers and challenges!
Opening a chest:
Go to the Chests tab
Select the chest named after the key you just unlocked and place the sticker
Place the key on top of the chest
Voila! Chest is unlocked and you get a new sticker sheet!
Not all challenges work the same way, and some don't even require stickers at all! If you need any hints solving them our discord has a section just for people looking for hints on the sticker challenges.
You can check it out here (look for the stickers-challenges-spoilers channel)
There are over 200 challenges to complete, giving you hours of fun puzzle solving by yourself, or with friends!
One of the great things about this is how it all works in multiplayer. You can try and figure out the challenges with friends, decorate together, or have someone play with stickers while other players do a puzzle.
It's great for streamers too, with chat involved in trying to work out the sticker challenges.
In addition to the thousands of stickers and hundreds of challenges to do, we also have stickers for a number of our favorite indie games. These awesome devs were kind enough to allow us to make stickers based on their games! Each one also has an info button with details of the game it was from.
For a full list of included indie games check out this post:
(scroll down to the "All the Indie Game Stickers" section)
Please check out their games, they are truly awesome!
Thanks for everyone who has played and supported our game!
Our next update is the gradient maker that allows you to create color gradient puzzles with infinite detail. All the functionality is done and we are just finishing up the interface.
