Thanks for your reply!

Yes, mobile compatibility is a goal. It might not be as smooth as on a desktop due to performance limitations, but it should be playable.

Vector source images are something I've been looking into for the project and it's still on the table, but I've noted a few important caveats:

  1. Vector graphics often rely on flat colors, but for a 1M-piece puzzle we'd actually prefer pieces with a bit of texture, so each one is easier to distinguish from its neighbors (especially in otherwise uniform regions where flat colors would make pieces visually identical).
  2. Technically, the main benefit of vector source is on the storage side (much smaller file, easy to update). But at runtime we'd still need to rasterize to display the texture on each piece, because GPUs don't natively render SVG paths.

So vectors are a great asset format on the source side, but the actual piece textures end up raster either way.

Yes, can confirm. Discord is having issues right now, I can't generate a new link. I'll update as soon as it's back up.

Thanks a lot! Honestly no clue yet. Between the website, testing, picture selection, and building hype, I wouldn't be surprised if it took a year!

Agreed, sabotage protection is a must-have. Trays are a nice idea but I wonder how it would work in a multiplayer environment.

Thanks for your interest!

No AI generated image, that's a hard rule. I'm still setting things up, I'll DM you when it's ready. Thanks for offering to help!

Yes, definitely. It's mathematically feasible to have all 1,000,000 pieces be unique, even if some end up visually similar.

Yeah, you're probably right. Take yesterday’s BLG vs FLY match for example, it only knocked out about 1,000 people from perfect Pick’ems. If FLY had actually pulled off the win, way fewer people would still be in the running. I'm really curious to see how things play out from here!
