Dear players, we are happy to announce that today’s release, tagged 2018.0.6726, is now published and available for you on Steam. What’s more, Masters of Puzzle now has its first set of achievements enabled and ready for you to unlock through play. We’ll talk about them some more in the section below, but before that let’s quickly glance at the other changes this update brought along:

• Gameplay: Implemented logic and triggers for the achievements in set 1.
• Gameplay: Adjusted the default font settings and sizes for better readability. This affects all texts throughout the game.
• Gameplay: Added in-game help text for the puzzle box lifting functionality.
• Bugfix: Fixed a bug where the game configuration would not auto-update from the game server upon manual player authentication. This should resolve any issues with released DLCs not unlocking in-game for authenticated players.
• Bugfix: Fixed a bug where the changes to the Options would not save between play sessions.

Make sure to check the full release notes here. As usual, we’ll be happy to hear your feedback and suggestions.

Achievements

The first set of achievements for Masters of Puzzle includes a total of 42 different items including 4 that are hidden. You can see the list in its usual place in Steam. The new release version also includes retrograde awarding of puzzle completion achievements if the player has unlocked any of them before this update; this mechanism does not include the achievements related to puzzle tile linking or any of the hidden achievements. Please be aware, that the retrograde awarding will only work if you’re currently authenticated with the game servers and if you have been authenticated when you completed one of them in the previous versions.

All the achievements currently use a couple of placeholder icons showing a question mark. Be assured that these are only temporary and will be replaced gradually over the next week as our team starts finalizing the designs of the real icons. This will not affect your unlocked achievements or current progress in any way.

What’s next?

This week we received the great music compilation from our composer associate and we already started work on incorporating it into the game. In addition to that, we’re also working on some new cool game items that will add more character to your playrooms. We’ll share more details about all of it in the next update, so stay tuned.
