  Minor Update - V0.2.4 - Quality of Life

  Hi Puzzle Fans and Adventurers, Today, we're excited to bring you one final minor update before reaching our next major milestone! Originally, we intended to include this update in our upcoming V0.3 release, but as that will still take a bit longer, we wanted to enhance the first room experience for new players right away. 🔎 Quality of Life Added a new animation for moving in and out when entering a puzzle Smoothed out the rotation of certain elements within puzzles Smaller objects now automatically move closer to the camera when picked up Certain on-screen messages now require interaction with the object that triggers the message, instead of simply looking at it Added a few new assets to explore and inspect in the first level 🔎 Bug Fixes Fixed a bug that caused elements in the umbrella stand puzzle to rotate incorrectly when multiple inputs were pressed simultaneously Fixed a bug that caused some audio cues to not play correctly when interacting with objects in the world As we get closer and closer to releasing our next room, we wanted to share more pieces of our concept art and tease two upcoming puzzles: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44517226/dafaf3e46eb25992c9e317a73246fbf72c4feca3.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44517226/8ab277e0a5c0d7747e9dab89c7f4705f3c616744.png Until next time!
