Upcoming Update: Voice Chat, The Artifact, and more!

Hey everyone, I wanted to share a quick look at what I’ve been working on before the next release. There’s a lot of polish and a few exciting new additions in this one.

Coming November 15th

Multiplayer

• Fixed a major issue that sometimes caused player rocks to go invisible in co-op lobbies.

Challenges

• Every challenge has been updated for a more consistent feel, with new sounds, improved lighting, and bug fixes.

• Ascended challenges will now unlock after completing the normal versions. (kinda)

New Map - Ascend

• A brand-new map can be unlocked by completing all basic challenges.

• This new area includes its own challenge to unlock the artifact.

Voice Chat

• Optional voice chat will be available. The default push-to-talk key is V.

Ambient Audio Player

• A full audio player including play, pause, skip, shuffle, and repeat for every ambient track!

Offline Leveling

• Nerfed offline leveling from 8H -> 4H

• This will incentivize players who remain on the game, while still allowing some offline time to be gained.

Artifact

• The artifact is an infinite-level speed sink for your extra stones.

Text Chat

• A brand-new text chat system, now with emojis!

Settings

• Fixed a few bugs, including sound volume not saving properly.

Save System

• Added a new save system for challenge and hidden rock progress, synced across devices.

• Your last equipped rock will now save and automatically equip when loading into a map.

Loading Screen

• Smoother transitions when loading into maps.

• Updated load-up screen when starting the game.

This update is focused on making the experience smoother, more stable, and a bit more fun overall but I am still keeping a few secrets from you! I will post the full patch notes near release.

Thanks for sticking around and supporting the game — I can’t wait for you to try it out soon 💙
