The Universe is both fascinating and frightening!

We celebrate the success of our last two updates and our recent nomination for the TIGA Games Industry Awards 2014. Finalist - Most Original Game and Best Social Game!

Many thanks to the Cloud Chamber investigators who are making the game a fantastic experience.


FEATURES:

• STEAM avatars:
  Players can now choose Steam avatar as profile image.
  
  
• Restricted nodes:
  Unlocking of restricted nodes has turned out to be more difficult than intended - because it is difficult to get likes from other players. This means that unlocking restricted nodes becomes a little too difficult. This seems to be because players are simply commenting more than they are liking. So, to help fix this problem, we have changed the algorithm, so it now counts comments as likes for the sake of unlocking restricted nodes. This means that, in order to unlock the restricted nodes in, say Part 4, you will now need 4 players to either like something you have written in Part 4 OR comment on a post you have written in Part 4 (any combination of the 2 will also work).

BUG FIXES:

• New encoding of intro video that some players had problems seeing.
  
• Fixed bug when scrolling in feed or forum. Feed and forum should no longer freeze up while attempting to load more content and should load smoother.
  
• A number of changes to communication between game and server to reduce risk of disconnections. Improved error messages to help troubleshoot connection issues.
  
• After some controversy about Quicktime, we are now offering QT Lite as a lighter and less intrusive alternative - as suggested by some of our forum users.
  
• The detection of old versions of QT has been significantly improved.
  
• Fixed bug. Downvotes now no longer help unlock restricted nodes or win "best" badges
  
• Fixed a few bugs and styling issues in message function.
  
• Fixed a few bugs in the "Flag" function.
  
• Fixed bug. Deep links in "Top Contributors" should now work.
  
• Fixed path between the nodes "missing worlds" and "It's a big universe"in part 5 (used to send players on a detour)
  
• Fixed bug. Clicking tagged usernames in the forums now opens the correct window.
  
• Additional minor changes to leaderboard, spelling in some nodes etc.
