Upcoming Update: Voice Chat, The Artifact, and more!

Hey everyone, I wanted to share a quick look at what I’ve been working on before the next release. There’s a lot of polish and a few exciting new additions in this one.
Coming November 15th
Multiplayer
• Fixed a major issue that sometimes caused player rocks to go invisible in co-op lobbies.
Challenges
• Every challenge has been updated for a more consistent feel, with new sounds, improved lighting, and bug fixes.
• Ascended challenges will now unlock after completing the normal versions. (kinda)
New Map - Ascend
• A brand-new map can be unlocked by completing all basic challenges.
• This new area includes its own challenge to unlock the artifact.
Voice Chat
• Optional voice chat will be available. The default push-to-talk key is V.
Ambient Audio Player
• A full audio player including play, pause, skip, shuffle, and repeat for every ambient track!
Offline Leveling
• Nerfed offline leveling from 8H -> 4H
• This will incentivize players who remain on the game, while still allowing some offline time to be gained.
Artifact
• The artifact is an infinite-level speed sink for your extra stones.
Text Chat
• A brand-new text chat system, now with emojis!
Settings
• Fixed a few bugs, including sound volume not saving properly.
Save System
• Added a new save system for challenge and hidden rock progress, synced across devices.
• Your last equipped rock will now save and automatically equip when loading into a map.
Loading Screen
• Smoother transitions when loading into maps.
• Updated load-up screen when starting the game.
This update is focused on making the experience smoother, more stable, and a bit more fun overall but I am still keeping a few secrets from you! I will post the full patch notes near release.
Thanks for sticking around and supporting the game — I can’t wait for you to try it out soon 💙
