What changed
1. Official map — Osaka rework
The seventh official stage Osaka received a layout and visual pass. Hiders and seekers should retest hiding spots — older community routes may no longer apply.
2. Paint and color tools
- Paint brush resolution improved — finer strokes for edge blending and small props.
- 3D color picker stability improved — fewer crashes or stuck states when sampling metallic/roughness.
- Experimental controller color palette added for upcoming controller support — test in Settings if you play on gamepad.
See Controls and Painting Basics for keybinds.
3. Reverse Chicken Race fixes
- Invisible player collision in Reverse Chicken Race no longer blocks movement incorrectly.
- Paint display sync — displayed body paint during the mode should stay synchronized more reliably.
