Options for variable puzzle size? Graphics settings?

[Aristurtle]

Hello! I've recently tried this game, and I really love the idea and execution. This is the first jigsaw puzzle game I actually bothered to try since all other options on steam look kinda poor and lack the tactile feel this game manages to provide.

With that said, I'd like to suggest a feature/find said feature if I missed anything. From my understanding, it seems that the size of the pieces is a constant, whether I choose to divide the image by 100 pieces, or 1000 pieces, thus affecting only the total size of the complete image. Could the size of the pieces be scaled? It'd be great if I could, say, divide an image by 50 pieces, with each piece being larger, and thus construct a larger sized image in total.

Many thanks!

Additionally, are there any graphics settings I've missed? I can't seem to downgrade any graphics settings aside from resolution to optimize the FPS. Not that 60+ FPS is necessary for such a game, but without an option to lock the FPS in game, hovering around 35-50 kinda bugs me. I play on 1440P and my setup is 1070GTX and an i5-7600, so while not exactly bleeding edge, getting this fps in a single room with a single 50 pieces puzzle is not ideal? I wonder if it has to do with the game being relatively demanding, or something weird on my end (non-hardware related, that is).

Thanks again!

Hello, glad you are enjoying the game, I created this after myself not being able to find a jigsaw puzzle game with what I wanted so nice to see other people notice too :).

We might allow different puzzle types, it is on the list of things, but pretty far down compared to other bug fixes and additions I'd like to add. If we did this it might be something like changing it to a wooden puzzle look with larger pieces to differentiate it from the standard puzzle when hanging on your wall.

For graphic settings there isn't a lot because currently there isn't a lot to change. All lighting is baked and there is no "real time" lighting so options like shadow/lighting quality just do not exist.

From reports I do agree there are some performance issues that need addressed for certain systems (laptops in particular) and this is high on my list to look into after bug fixes and a major code rewrite that I am finally almost finished with.
In the meantime resolution and vram seems to play a major part in performance (most likely because of the high resolution textures we use). I would try playing at 1920x1080 if you can.
Recently I've had issues running a game lower resolution than the windows setting (not just in my game) and disabling game bar fixes it for some reason. If you have issues changing desktop resolution to the same as the game does make it bootable to fix anything.

In the future I will be adding a render resolution setting to avoid conflicts with windows while still getting the performance boost.

Graphics settings have now been added to the game along with general performance improvements that will make it run better out of the box with no change in visual quality.

Yes! The game runs buttery smooth now, absolutely fantastic work! Many many thanks!

Edit:
Also really appreciate the new puzzle interaction options, it works great and makes the whole experience much more seamless.

Oh and I've a question, is there any option in the game to enable a "click" sound or something of the sort when pieces connect?

[Personal Finest Shawn]

Having a connecting sound option is not in yet but in the works :)

Really great to hear! Thank you!

Oh this is good to see! I've wanted a "click" sound for a long time! :)

Connecting pieces sound is now in the game (enable in settings)

Fantastic, many thanks!
Getting the support pack as a show of support, thanks again!

I've recently upgraded my PC and it seems that the game is capped to 62 FPS, which looks somewhat stutter-y on 144hz. Is that an error on my part? If not, is there a way to edit the cfg file to change the cap, or is it hard-capped? Thanks!

Edit:
Found it!
