Changelog

Every new thing and fix in Tessellate, one line each, as it lands.

Next version

Finished, and coming in the next version.

New

  • A changelog on tessellate.games, and proper link previews when you share the site.
  • Warn before controller hooks go into a game with anti-cheat
  • Settings are sorted into clearer sections, with Steam and Emulators under Games.
  • Report a problem: send a short, scrubbed report from Settings or an error message, only when you press Send.
  • Crash reports you can opt into in Settings › About. They're off unless you turn them on.
  • The games list on tessellate.games shows which games are tested, which should work and which don't work yet.
  • An optional app log, and Save a problem report to gather it in one file on your Desktop.
  • Bring your own saves: import a game's existing saves, and back them up on your PC.
  • Copy a controller report straight from the app.
  • One games list: converted patterns show up in Add game and on tessellate.games, with how well each one works.
  • Converted patterns, and every file they need, come from Tessellate's own library.
  • Game card tiers tune themselves to your own play history.
  • Game cards shine in the session recap, in couch mode and on the game's banner.
  • The website counts visits without cookies. The Privacy page says how.
  • tessellate.games hosts the patterns the app checks for updates.
  • tessellate.games gets a feature showcase, the games list, an FAQ, the roadmap and patch notes.
  • Credits: the original authors of every converted pattern, in the app.
  • Try Tessellate in your browser at tessellate.games/demo.
  • Website pages saying what's safe, what's private, the terms and the credits.
  • The tessellate.games website, with a split-screen scene to scroll through.
  • If one player's game stops responding, restart just that copy; everyone else keeps playing.
  • The session recap shows the screenshots you took, and there are eight new kinds of badges.
  • Steam co-op games you own but haven't installed show greyed out in the Library, one click from installing.
  • Tessera is now Tessellate, in every word you see.
  • Logos and brand art say Tessellate.
  • Exports are .tessellate files now, and your old .tessera files still import.
  • Tessellate's new name: your data moves over by itself the first time it starts.
  • Help & news in Settings: patch notes, the FAQ and the roadmap.
  • Shiny 3D covers in the Library, and a collectible card for each game you play.

Fixed

  • Pause key F6 "already registered" on every launch; make the message say what to do
  • Tessellate won't start a game while Steam is still updating it.
  • Updates never lose your data: a backup before every update, and an unreadable settings file is never quietly reset.
  • Controller navigation: the right stick scrolls, toggles no longer skip, and couch mode follows your UI size.
  • Two controllers no longer show up as four, and changing a player's controller in Terraria works.
  • Health no longer stalls when you open and close its sections quickly.
  • Website: the character showcase keeps changing after Surprise me.
