Changes to Vs Boss Mode: Team Communication!

Hey everyone!

We're back this week with our eighth regular update! This week we were implementing changes to Co-Op Vs Boss mode to make it easier to communicate as a team!



With this update comes a solution to make communicating with your team in Co-Op Vs Boss mode as easy as can be. We've added notches to the answers on screen to show who has selected an answer. You can also now change your answer as many times as you like. Pull the trigger too early on a guess but your friend actually watched that film? Now you can easily switch and earn your team some points. We hope this makes it easier for everyone to work together and help your attempts in taking on The King!



Coming to the character creator this week is also a new shirt with a cute little snake on it. This shirt is dedicated to 'Fangs' - a friend's snake who sadly is no longer with us but will be remembered fondly.

There are also some improvements this week to game lobbies based on feedback from the community and watching our lovely streamers.

You can find the patch notes to Trivia Tricks version 0.8.10.0 below:

[h3]Visible and Changing Answers![/h3]
  • Answers are now made visible via notches in Co-Op Vs Boss mode to help communicate as a team.
  • You can now change your answer as many times as you like when playing in Co-Op Vs Boss mode.

[h3]Lobby Improvements![/h3]
  • As the host of a lobby you can now kick players.
  • When 60% of players ready up the game will now count down 60 seconds before automatically starting.

[h3]Misc Changes![/h3]
  • When playing online with a guest, they will now use the name of their selected character, and not the Steam accounts' name. (Example: 'Mr. Tricks (1)' will now be known as 'Trinity').
  • After answering players can now use the answer buttons/keys to emote faster. (Please note that you cannot use emotes in Co-Op Vs Boss because you will change your answer!)
  • A new free shirt is available for all players, the Fangs shirt!
  • Pressing Start in the Character Select Screen will now also join a player.
  • Added community written questions submitted via Discord.
  • Updated our question database to fix a range of typos and issues.

[h3]Bugs Squashed[/h3]
  • Fixed an issue where clicking to leave a game sometimes would not work depending on mouse placement when the menu opened.
  • Fixed an issue where clicking to answer a question sometimes would not work depending on mouse placement when the buttons appeared.
  • Fixed guest podium names displaying a different player's name when playing online with a guest.


Next week we will be focusing on general fixes and polish in a number of areas based off of community feedback.
