This update provides improvements in the appearance of the hero, as well as a significant performance boost. Echoes of Egypt is now fully compiled from C++ source code instead of the slower .NET version.
The next update is going to involve a remade Stealth game level to look less like a bunch of untextured objects and ramps and more like an actual building interior, cartoonish, and more replayability along with other adjustments to the other games.
This is a minor update to fix all the bugs reported on our Discord server. We were originally planning to focus solely on the next big update however this cluster of bugs was affecting the gameplay considerably, so we decided to push out an early update to fix as many as possible.

Starting today, the game's steam page and demo are now available!! This has been a long time coming and is super relieving to have out of the way.
If you know anyone who enjoys rhythm games, I would very strongly recommend you share this game with them. Building up an audience for the game means more player feedback, more discussions, and an overall better game at the end. We at Encabulated Games want to deliver an awesome game, and a community will help us achieve that goal!
Some of you have been reading our Sunday Devlogs being posted to the forums. These devlogs will also be announced on Steam, similar to Factorio's "friday facts" that leave a link to the log entry, so look forward to that :).
..oh yeah, and of course, please wishlist the game if you're interested!!
Techtonica is officially 34% off here on Steam, which is our biggest discount. v0.5 launches this coming Monday, so it's the perfect time to grab the game and get ready for lasers.
Grab the game, tell a friend, and experience 4-player co-op. Together, you’ll plan your factories, dig into the terrain, and on Monday, fight each other to the death respawn in Laser Games.
-Added controller glyphs for most puzzles, and some controller support. This is an ongoing project. Some puzzles are still difficult to do with controller (Five-Year-Old, Draft) and one you still can't do (Enter Password). I'm hoping to add full controller support soon.
-Made performance improvements. This is an ongoing project. I am working at rewriting the main puzzle selection code, which is really not performant. I also was able to reduce the size of the game download by 50%.
Some smaller changes:
-Changed menu text to show the game saves automatically -Changed new game maze to clarify that each slot is a new game -Added a clarification to not click on my kid's maze to start moving the dot -Added version number -Changed font size on the resolution dropdown -Ensured default resolution on Steam Deck is correct -Fixed a bug where the background sound wouldn't play for puzzles
Thank you all for playing! I'm hoping to announce my next game in about two weeks.
- Fixed Gold Display Bug when outside in City Exploration. - Fixed NPCs spawning outside boundaries in City Exploration. - Fixed some typos involved with localization.
