Hey everybody!

It's time for another weekly update! This week our focus was on ensuring solo players are able to find games online while our community is still growing. We fully realise that right now Trivia Tricks is in its infancy and therefore can be a little... empty when you search for online lobbies - especially as a solo player. To help everyone have a chance to connect with other players we're introducing Trivia Tuesdays!

Every Tuesday there will be two time slots where you can earn DOUBLE PRIZE MONEY (wow). We've also permanently added an achievement for taking part in one of these, with a cool Steampunk hat just for playing! We've aimed the two slots to allow players across the world to take part, but we're listening to feedback to adjust them if need be.

Want a reminder? Simply follow the Trivia Tricks Steam Group as we'll posting announcements when the show's about to start!

A big thank you to everybody who has been playing Trivia Tricks and is an early passenger with us on our journey through early access. We hope that this will help you guys out with finding games within the community and reward you for doing so.

Over the next week we're looking into ways to ensure our question database can be driven by our users. Stay tuned!

Hi everybody!

Below you will find details of our third weekly update. This week we focused on addressing feedback from our player base regarding usability issues within the Character Select Screen. While Trivia Tricks has extremely flexible play options our playtests and analytics showed us that players were finding the Character Select Screen confusing to navigate. Now, we've redesigned the Character Select screen with a focus on clarity. Hopefully functionality such as joining an online lobby with a local party or leveraging Steam Remote Play Together to play online with a single purchase will be immediately obvious!



Over the next week we’re looking to ensure solo players are able to find games online while our community is still growing. Stay tuned!

[h3]Character Select Redesign![/h3]

• The character select screen has been totally overhauled!
  
• Instead of selecting characters in an 8x2 grid, characters are now selected through a carousel
  
• The control options available for the remaining player slots are now clearly displayed
  
• On a controller the 'A' button is now be used to join the session instead of the 'Start' button
  
• 'Drop Out' no longer requires the player to hold the 'Back' or 'Del' key, just a tap will do
  
• The 'Ready' button prompt now displays what key to press to continue
  
• The same characters will be preselected upon leaving and re-entering the menu
  
• Many, many more improvements to readying up, un-readying, leaving this screen, connecting controllers, button prompt locations, dropping out... too much to list here!
  

[h3]Updates to Question Database[/h3]

• Fixed case where maths questions with brackets requiring addition followed by subtraction would have an incorrect answer
  
• Removed extremely easy maths questions relating to the eleven times tables
  
• Fixed a number of typos in our questions (Thank you to all players who reported these!)
  

[h3]Bug Fixes[/h3]

• Fixed misspelling of the 'Cyclops' item in the Character Creator
