Hi everyone!
This update is the first in a series of Quality of Life updates that I'll be making to Wound Man over the coming weeks.
My main goal with these updates is to go back through the game level by level and improve some of the underlying mechanics, particularly the drag-and-drop system.
What's been updated?
For this first round:
Improved the drag-and-drop mechanics for Levels 01, 02, 03, 09, 17, and 23.
Improved the Sudden Death mechanics for Levels 01 (Special), 09 (Special), 17 (Special), and 23 (Special).
Added a new info panel to all Sudden Death levels to better explain how the mechanic works.
Made some additional changes behind the scenes to reduce memory demands and hopefully decrease crashes.
Why only a few levels at a time?
Wound Man was the first game I made, and when I started developing it, I was also learning Unreal Engine as I went.
As a result, the way I built the early levels is very different from how I would build them today. Improving them isn't as simple as changing a few settings. In many cases, I have to refactor a significant portion of the level and its Blueprints.
Each level takes me roughly 3–4 hours to update, so doing the entire game at once would mean disappearing for a few months before releasing anything.
Instead, I've decided to tackle them in smaller groups and release the improvements as I complete them. This means you'll get regular updates, while I gradually work my way through the entire game.
More to come
This is only Part 1.
I'll continue working through the remaining levels, improving the drag-and-drop mechanics, refining some of the older systems, and looking for opportunities to improve performance and stability along the way.
Thanks, as always, for playing Wound Man and for all of the feedback!

Thank you to everyone who has been reporting issues and sharing feedback since launch. This update addresses several of the most commonly reported puzzle frustrations.
Changes & Improvements
Reworked the End Special puzzle to provide a smoother overall experience.
Reworked Level 101 (Special) to make piece placement more forgiving and accurate.
Reworked Level 123 (Special) to make piece placement more forgiving and accurate.
These changes should reduce frustration caused by overly precise piece placement requirements while preserving the intended challenge of the puzzles.
Coming Soon
I'm currently working on similar improvements for three additional levels that have been frequently reported by players. Those fixes will be released in an upcoming patch.
