Update: Added Quiz Editor, Mode Selection, Steam Workshop, Steam Cloud and various improvements
You can now use the quiz editor to create your own quizzes! Add as many questions as you like. You can even add images to the questions. By default your own quizzes will only be visible to you on your PC.
We're working on the Steam Workshop integration and are halfway there. If you enable Steamworks sharing for your quiz in the editor, you can press F6 in the main menu of the game to upload your quiz to the Steam Workshop where other players will be able to see and subscribe to your quiz!
Well, that's the first half of the integration. The second half is the part where you can actually play the quizzes created by other players. This will be released with the next update, so stay tuned! Maybe you can use the waiting time to prepare your very first quiz for the Workshop!
We just added a rudimentary mode selection. Where before the sequence of game modes was fixed you can now choose which of the modes you actually want to play.
User profiles, statistics and quizzes you created are now automatically backed up using the Steam Cloud!
The new and improved category selection now chooses the 4 random options more intelligently, avoiding duplicates and selecting categories based on how many questions they contain relative to the total number of questions in the quiz.
On top of all this we had several smaller improvements throughout the game.
We're still working hard on getting the game ready for Early Access. Our next step is publishing the "Coming Soon" page of the game on Steam for which we still need a trailer. Working on that, too... In the meantime we appreciate the help of our alpha testers to get rid of the remaining bugs!
