It’s been a busy month or two at Puzzle Spy International headquarters: We spent July prepping for showing the game at MAGwest, including a fun stand-up of Agent Epsilon, a nicely-decorated table and an extra monitor that never quite interfaced with our laptop correctly. But because MAGwest is a relatively mellow con, folks who sat down to try out the demo were happy to sit there for the ~45 minutes needed to solve the entire demo. We encouraged people to work in groups as that’s the most fun way to play and crack the game in our opinion. Some people came with a pile of friends, while other groups formed up as they all gathered around the demo and eventually cracked it as a team. Everyone had a great time trying it out, and we gave out postcards and the last of our stickers.

Currently we’re in the process of making Puzzle Spy International a bit longer. The original story ended after eight puzzles, and the ending felt somewhat abrupt and arbitrary. So we’ve gone back to the drawing board to give the ending a lot more punch. We’re really happy with the new additions: It’s much more along the lines of how an exciting world-spanning spy adventure should end, and we think people playing the game are going to feel a lot more satisfied with the conclusion. We’re certainly a lot more excited about this new direction. With the extended adventure come three additional puzzles. One of them is fully designed and we’re having folks test it out on paper right now so that we don’t commit to the coding process until we’re sure it’s solid. Another puzzle is in process, and we made a lot of headway on the third (and final) puzzle of the game this past weekend and are really excited about it. While this extra work will unfortunately push out the release date of the game a bit, we’re certain that you’ll enjoy the final results a lot more!

Adding an entire new location at the end also requires a lot more art, but fortunately I love to create it! I’ve been doing lots of research on 1960s vehicles, retro-futuristic architecture, costume design, and what a certain \[classified] country’s landscape looks like to pull the final scenes together. They’re going to look really cool! We also are getting to add some really funny conversations with some new characters designed for the end of the game as well, and looking forward to your getting to see them too.

Anyhow, that’s all the big news. If you want to catch more, don’t forget to follow us on Bluesky at @agentepsilon.bsky.social... Be seeing you!

• Completely re-coded the base of wall building system

• The wall building button now moved next to other building button, more user friendly

  

• Temporarily removed the restriction of wall must be build next to wall, but all building is still required to build next to another building

Now:

Note: Since I was facing some technical issue while adding more types of buildings, I decided to re-write the code of the building system. You might not see any changes in game, but hundreds lines of code are modified. So I would like to spend 2-3 days testing it, making sure it is stable and friendly for adding new content in the future before I release new gameplay related content.

• Kiosk Visual Upgrades panel fully localized.

• No order generation when the storage is closed.

• Music volume now correctly loads from the save file.

• Trash no longer spawns in closed kiosks.

• Stocking SFX: added a “box depleted” sound when you run out while placing items.

• Pre-zombie safety pause: brief freeze before Zombie Weekend starts to avoid oversized item spawns mid-stocking.

• Auto-stocker prices corrected and balanced.

• Lab UI: product preview is cleared on selection or error states.

• Order assembly polish: improved item ejection/flight visuals for packed orders.

• Storage SFX: added a sound when placing a box into kiosk storage.

It has been a while since I have done one of these.

To start this off with some bad news.
Razgovor Online has been pushed back to 2026, I will not be providing a full date to prevent false promises.

Secondly things have been taking its time thanks to moving all the Peer 2 Peer networking to Dedicated services.

What this will add however is more Long Term improvements and less issues in regards to networking and Online Saftey.

First I'd like to mention that the Roadmap has been given an Overhaul.

The new layout will show all patches i.e. 2.1 - 2.1.1 - 2.1.2 as 2.1.

This way you can see what is in active development and allows me to work on certain things before being able to officially call a Patch 2.1 for example.

Aditionally the Website is going through a complete Overhaul to fit the games current Art-Style and UI Style.

There's not much to say about the Website as it isnt a Game Feature.

(Roadmap and Website Link on the store page)

Due to certain complaints about the Current public UI (UI V3), I have listened and went back to the Drawing board.

For the UI Overhaul V4 I have worked on making the UI More VR Friendly and more User Friedly.

But thats not ready to show off yet.

For now the Work that has gone on is as followed.

Please be aware everything you see is still in Development

Thanks to storing Data Online The Ability to Update your own Status and Bio will not be public to whoever views it. Aditionally unlike the current User Status and Bio the new version can be viewed even when a user is offline.

Examples Bellow.

Alongside the User Profile updates Some people complained about the world not being "Interactable" so I have Re-Worked the whole store system from UI to Kiosk.

This way VR, SteamDeck, Mouse & Keyboard and Controller users have full access to a usable 3D Store.

The Semi-Open world of Razgovor relies on its buildings and enviroment to keep the main Socail Hub from being empty.

But opening the game to a Connected Road between Towns and POI's have shown where buildings havent been added or finished for previous optimisation.

Extra work has been done on Bonsila Increasing its scale and adding more Street Props preventing the world from feeling "Empty".

As for Player Housing.

I have aditionally started using Blockouts after the final Desing. This way some rooms wont feel off when placing Furniture.

Sorry for the Long awaited Development Time and again I am sorry for the 2026 Pushback.

However Those in the PlayTest will recieve upcoming Dynamic Events since the Summer Dynamic Event worked so well in "The Vault Underground".

Newer Dynamic Events wont be centered to 1 area as that was just a Test run.
