addedBad news first: our new speech recognition worked beautifully – but because of a misconfiguration with Microsoft Cognitive Services, it only worked for a very short period! We got over some hurdles with the configuration and just published a patch which will allow you to benefit from the more advanced technology, much more reliably. We urge you to download this patch ASAP. Remember, hit Enter, speak, then hit Enter again to send the text equivalent of your speech to our server. You’ll notice waves appearing over the mic icon when the game is listening. You can also click the mic icon, or click anywhere in the text box, to make the game listen. And of course, you can still type :) Now, the good news! - Players couldn’t complete all the 18 achievements, because it turns out only 14 worked. In this patch, the We’re a Great Team and Clue Eraser Master achievements are now functional. The Investigation Training and Clue removal training will work soon too – we’re on it! - No more free rides. Some of you got the Baggage Handler achievement just by asking Mike for the blue briefcase. Our new co-reference resolution code was just too smart. Now you’ll have to work for it :) We’d like to solicit some of your ideas regarding training. How about making training just this: “Find out when the family ate together. Then discover the commands Jimmy knows, and get him to put two beers and some food on the kitchen table.” Essentially, you would learn by doing. The first thing will get you a video, the second – will get Jimmy moving and doing stuff (some YouTubers who covered Bot Colony recently didn’t realize the robot could be commanded :) We’d appreciate your feedback to this proposal! In closing, if you purchased the game on Steam, please review and Recommend if you like it – we’re still shy of the 50 reviews we need to be noticed on the store. Those of you who tried it when speech recognition wasn’t activated, do take it for a spin. It’s a whole new experience!
