Patch EA1.2.27: Quote system overhaul, learning curve improvements, offline WIP

Someone said once science is built on the "shoulders of giants". I know it was intended as a pun and I'm using it out of context but I'll go with it anyway. The giants of today are our living professors, physicists, computer scientists and mathematicians that actively keep the fields growing and distillate knowledge in ways (incomprehensible science papers, or succinct, using metaphors, whatever it takes) that we can understand it in our modern era. I never thought it would be so hard to find actual quotes from contemporary scientists, I always thought that opinions are like nipples, everyone has one. Turns out, the people closest to the work often say the least, while those farthest from it have an opinion on everything.

The main thing in this patch is a complete overhaul of the quote system in tutorials. Each puzzle now has a quote (sometimes more than one, from different scientists that never even got the chance to work together!) that exists there to enforce the lesson the tutorial puzzle is giving beyond what the Sages have to say. The old system had quotes from yoga teachers sneak in our random quote system about quantum physics and after this patch they left the server. The new quotes have been tediously researched and hand-picked to fit the tutorial puzzles. There still is room for improvement, but we are getting there.

Speaking of the server, we are gradually taking stuff to be playable offline. It will take some time but progress is made. Seeing how people play QO has helped (and continues to) a TON in making sure the learning curve is smoothened, puzzles do what they intend to (teach a concept) and are solvable by people with different backgrounds including those who are not even here to learn quantum mechanics but simply enjoy some good open-ended puzzle solving.

I'd advise everyone to redo the lessons in the first two rings (what gamers call tutorials) on Quantum Computing/ Physics. This patch brings a lot of small changes in how information is presented to you over the first 3 hours of play (the most important ones tbh. You will either feel you are learning quantum in a way you haven't had the chance before or want to alt+f4, this is why the intros still remain for me the most important thing to ensure they do their job).

Soon(ish):

Community24 Aug 2026The Final Major Patch Before Full Release: my thoughts, server resetDear Seekers, We are now about to wrap up preparations for the upcoming Large Patch. It will bring a lot of changes, mostly related to how metrics are calculated and displayed. The game will finally make it obvious that all that matters is the quality of your submitted solution and not the time spent or mistakes made (in the current build, mistakes matter; time does not ). The new scoring syste…Community29 Jun 2026Time for a Tournament! We passed 10k playersDear Seekers, I want this to be much more than an educational game... a platform to start what I like to call "quantum eSports": weekly tournaments, big competitions, events with sponsors and prizes. I think this is the best way to get people excited about coming up with cool quantum algorithms. QHW is here, yes it's not as good as it will be in the future, but what we are really slacking on is…Game update14 May 2026EA1.2.57 New text lines were created for every | symbol fixWe had a terrible bug in which all texts were spilling out thanks to a new steamdeck regex we introduced in the large patch to autodetect and change certain texts depending on if the player is using a deck or not -now fixed. Sorry for having to see so many badly formatted texts! You can reset your progress using the X button in the profile section if you feel this bug gave you any trouble. -QI…
