Hello Everyone,
It has been a long time since we announced and then promised to deliver TrivaTune, yet still the game is in frankly a terrible state with bad networking and very limited to none functional gameplay.

The largest reason for this was one we thought we had solved which was licence issues around music, we thought we had solved this by gaining access to an API that allowed for music based quiz games and was provided by a trusted source, the issue is simply in the platform of the game, because its not a mobile game that licence is not valid. So we looked into many solutions around this and unless we removed audio part of the game there was none, we have since decided instead of us doing "packs" we will let the community do packs and then reach out to some artists in a similar way to how the popular game Beatsaber managed to convince artists to get into their game.

Okay you may be thinking if that is the plan then surely just update the game to make it work for that plan, that does not seem like it would take years!

Again you would be right, the other failures we had were with choices in investors who requested we limited our team size for them to invest (since backed out) which we did reducing the team to 4 people, one of who had to leave for college/uni the other was myself who simply over estimated my own skills and has had to spend alot of time learning unity. Then we had Barry and don, who I am sure you are all aware of.

All this is great but what are you trying to tell us.

Well I was giving backstory so you know that we fully understand we are at fault and have failed our community. But moving forward we are going to be taking massive steps in the right direction we hope.

We are going to first start from the ground up with SteamWorksV2 and mirror which is a common and flexible multiplayer system. We will then push an update with just a basic world to get movements and multiplayer grounded.

From that point we will work on mini-games with a quiz pack being the fore front, we had adapted the idea to contain races where the cars get fuel, points and other modifiers by answering quiz questions.
We plan to build on this mini-game quiz idea and get 2 or 3 quiz mini-games into the game.

Then when we have those core parts into the game we will make a video update outlining the state and opening the game to modding, as we feel mods are going to be the biggest part of the game moving forward. The modding community is what keeps games alive for the long term. We want this game to come to life. As a friend group we just love quizes and music ones the most.
