A huge thank you to everyone who has jumped into the Palettopia Puzzle Playtest!
Here is what we've updated in this patch:
Difficulty Balancing: All 5 difficulty options are significantly more difficult than prior to August 28th. Less paint, greater paint rewards, fewer turns, and we temporarily set the same count/scale of Required Districts to all difficulty settings. If these new settings are too easy or hard for you, let us know!
Completed Puzzle Visibility: Now when the Puzzle Complete screen is active, the camera will move to the center of the map and zoom in to provide better visibility of the completed island.
Fixed an issue preventing the tutorial from advancing if you did not have a middle mouse button to pan the camera. WASD will now properly satisfy the tutorial pan step.
Tutorial indicator was not working on Turn Limit step.
Fixed an issue where using the Eraser on Marine would not refund paint.
Marine can no longer paint outside the bounds of the ocean.
Fixed an issue where if a District's need is satisfied while the cursor was hovered on the district, then the need pip would break it's presentation.
Taking a screenshot with the in-game camera tool will now encode and save as a high quality PNG.
Taking a screenshot now includes Anti-Aliasing, if enabled.
Hitting Esc on the Puzzle Complete screen will now open the Main Menu.
Having more than 14 Required Districts while on the Puzzle Complete screen will now present nicely.
Landmark count was previously too high on the Puzzle Complete screen.
Reduced the number of times the Puzzle Complete screen will fire it's sound effects.
The game will now run while in the background, ie not the active window.
A 16:10 monitor will no longer increase the scale of the in-game UI incorrectly compared to a 16:9 monitor.
