Play Together Update is Here!

We’ve released a major update that makes playing together much more enjoyable. Here’s what’s new:

Gamepad & Local Co-op Support

  • Added native gamepad support.

  • Introduced local co-op. Multiple players can now play together on the same device.

  • Local co-op currently uses a shared camera. Split-screen support will be added in future updates.

  • Added UI elements for local co-op.

  • You can now select “Local Co-op” as the game mode when creating a game.

Revamped Game Creation Experience

  • Completely redesigned the game creation screen.

  • Updated the game mode selection screen to also feel like a map selection screen.

  • This makes upcoming regions and content more visible.

  • Added a non-interactive “Coming Soon” card to showcase future content.

New Camera Features
We improved the camera system to enhance the gamepad and local co-op experience:

  • Added the ability to quickly reset the camera behind the vehicle.

  • Added an option to lock camera rotation.

  • Improved camera and control responsiveness for smoother gamepad usage.

Bug Fixes & Improvements

  • Fixed a crash that occurred on the host side when a client left the game.

  • Fixed and improved several minor UI issues:

    • Balanced spacing between difficulty boxes in the lobby screen.

    • Updated the background of the leaderboard screen.

    • Updated the background of the game creation screen.

Gameplay Improvements

  • Improved the section near the end of the game where players use a chain and hook to press a button and open a door.

  • Prevented the hook from unintentionally attaching to walls.

  • We investigated the issue that was preventing the game from launching, and with the latest update, it has now been fully resolved.

Technical Update

  • We’ve fully transitioned the game to DirectX 11.

  • Updated the system to run entirely on DirectX 11 to reduce crashes on older or problematic graphics cards.
