This is a significant update that adds some fundamental changes and improvements to Robot Trivia Funtime: better player matchmaking, improved controller integration, graphical changes and a reworked camera system. Some extra content has also been added, including new cosmetics and an extra question pack of 50 questions.
Join Ongoing Games
You can now join other players while a game is in progress! If you host a game, a new setting allows you to keep your quiz open while you play, so that other people can join you. This works for both private and public games, but you can also turn this feature off if you prefer. Likewise, you can now view and join active games from the join menu if they have an open slot. Previously, you could only see and join games before they started.
Persistent Lobbies
When the quiz is over, the lobby view appears next to the score window, and the game will restart in 20 seconds. This lets you stick together with your group, chat after the quiz, and continue playing with the same people. New players can also join during this time. Previously, the game would simply end and take you back to the menu.
More Controller Support
Rebuilt control options improve controller compatibility for various devices. On PC, players can now use arrow keys and spacebar to select and lock-in questions. This means you no longer need to bind the answer keys. You will notice during play that the answer buttons now go transparent, except for the button you are currently selecting.
New Content
A selection of new hats and poles have been added to the game, increasing customisation options. A new default question pack named "Easy Questions" had been added, with 50 new questions. And remember, in Robot Trivia Funtime, all customisation cosmetics can be used at any time, and you can expand the question set even more by downloading user-made packs using Steam Workshop.
Various Other Enhancements
The camera system has been swapped out with a new system that is smoother and higher quality, and is especially perceptible for players using Linux, fixing stuttering issues and working better overall. Engine updates and improved networking code should improve performance in general. Some other minor changes have been included including new UI sounds and numerous minor bug fixes.
