A huge thank you to everyone who has jumped into the Palettopia Puzzle Playtest!

Here is what we've updated in this patch:

🎨 Visuals, Shaders & Environment Polish

  • Arctic Lake Material Overhaul: Completely revamped the Arctic Lake rendering with subtle ice effects, refined smoothness/roughness parameters, and normal-mapped paper textures.

  • Marine Ocean Shoreline Fixes: Resolved edge issues causing the brush to stick while painting Marine across the ocean shorelines for cleaner, smoother water-to-land transitions.

  • Cloud & Pip Rendering: Fixed visual depth layering so Need Pips correctly display through clouds at all zoom levels.

  • Wetland Lighting: Updated wetland terrain for better lighting and reflections.

🛠️ UI, Controls & End-Level Experience

  • Puzzle Complete Screen: Added Camera Button so user can explore their map before moving on to a new map.

⚙️ Bug Fixes & Stability

  • Map Load Event Safeguard: Blocked redundant secondary actions from firing during map loading events.

  • Many other minor bug fixes.
