Winterfest is Here!

Hey all!

We hope you've been keeping warm, because it's time for the chills of Winterfest 2017! This event is running until the 9th of January, so get ready to freeze some marbles!

There have been some new features added since last year's Winterfest:
  • Updated levels, including a completely redone version of Concavity Deux and new gem spawns for many more.
  • New achievements for you to hunt!
  • An assortment of new scenery!

Finally, get excited for the Festival of Champions, which is now only a few weeks away!

Happy Holidays,
- HiGuy

We're working to resolve that issue this week. The Frightfest and Winterfest achievements, as well as other in-game achievements, will be showing up on the website profile soon.

Thanks for your patience,

Will the new achievements show up in your profile on the forums unlike the new Frightfest ones from this year?

Yes, there is. The song will play whilst playing multiplayer maps that are themed to fit Winterfest.

Also, you will be able to find that music file within the files of PlatinumQuest itself, except you may have to do a little digging.

Congratulations to all who participated in the tournament! We hope you had as much fun participating as we did hosting!

As with previous tournaments, unique titles and achievements have been awarded depending on your final standings in the tournament. Keep in mind all rewards are inclusive with the exception of the gift card awards (e.g., Frostfire will have all of the achievements listed below). Due to the unique prize pool, the rankings were arbitrarily determined by IsraeliRD at the inception of the event to divide contestants based on Participation (all players), Semi-Finals (Top 4), Finals (Top 2), and Winner:

All Participants: Achievement and the 'Jolly' Prefix Title.

4th Place: Achievement and the 'Jovial' Prefix Title, as well as a $10 USD Steam/Amazon Gift Card sponsored by IsraeliRD.

3rd Place: Achievement and the 'Jovial' Prefix Title, as well as a $15 USD Steam/Amazon Gift Card sponsored by IsraeliRD.

2nd Place: Achievement and the 'Jocund' Prefix Title, as well as a $25 USD Steam/Amazon Gift Card sponsored by IsraeliRD.

Winner: Achievement, 'Mirthful' Prefix title, and the winter blue trophy flair icon, as well as a $40 USD Steam/Amazon Gift Card sponsored by IsraeliRD.

Enjoy!

That played out exactly how I expected it to

Frightfest is Here!

Hey all,

I'm happy to say that Frightfest is finally here, and will be available until November 10th.

Here's some exciting changes and additions we've added to this years spooktivities:

  • We've spooked out of hiding 4 new levels and gave a creepy makeover to All Angles.
  • Ghosts now whisper over 110 creepy voices, and have been properly trained to make gameplay much more enjoyable rather than constantly rolling away in fear!
  • In an (un)predictable fashion, the Boog E. Man managed to find a few new spots to be buried alive, and there's a new candy corn for those with the sweet tooth to locate.
  • If you have a lower-end system, we made changes to the visible distance of the scenery shapes so that they won't render all the time and lag you.

Lastly, since 2.1.6 we fixed some outstanding items as well as some bugs and crashes which may occur if you spook your game too much, and upgraded the version number to 2.2.0. More surprises are in store, so check out this update as soon as possible!

P.S. - Are you doing anything at the end of the year? Because we have something coming up... :)
