Multiplayer & Steam Workshop Added!

Multiplayer and Steam Workshop is here!


Multiplayer is finally here! As an added bonus we've also included support for Steam Workshop.

Play together with friends and family, and share your custom puzzles with the community!



[h2]Multiplayer Features[/h2]

  • Open your room up to friends!


    • Steam friends can then join any time during your session, or can be invited through the in-game menu (or via the Steam friends interface).

  • Join/invite with Roomcodes

    • Streamer friendly! Hidden by default, and optionally displayed large on the screen for viewers to join.

  • Compatible with Custom Puzzles!


    • Upload your custom puzzle to the Steam Workshop via the in-game menu and friends that join will automatically download it when they join your room.

    • Custom Puzzles feature requires the room host has at least one of the game's DLC, but friends can still join and play even if they don't!
  • Compatible with DLC puzzles, and only the host needs to own them!

  • Host Room Customizations synced with all players


    • Room materials can be customized on the fly and will update for all players

    • If the host is using DLC room materials that a player doesn't have the room will try to color match with default materials


[h2]Steam Workshop Integration[/h2]



  • Share your Custom Puzzles with the Steam Community!

  • Play Custom Puzzles with friends in Multiplayer!


    • Uploading your custom puzzle to the Workshop allows friends that join your room to automatically download the puzzle
Note: Setting upload Visibility to Private currently doesn't work as intended. We're looking into a solution for this, but currently Private won't allow other users to play that puzzle with you in multiplayer.
(Until we fix: Public=Anyone can see on workshop and join a game; Friends Only=Only Steam friends can see on workshop and join a game; Private=Not visible on workshop but nobody can join a game).

  • Re-added model for outdoor railing (accidentally removed in previous update - oops!)

Cloud Saves Now Enabled!

We now have cloud saves to sync your games and custom images between computers. I should have had this in long ago but was thinking it required coding and planned on it after multiplayer was finished.

However someone on the forums pointed out it might be as simple as choosing directories in steamworks. There was an option for this so cloud support is now enabled!
