One of the common themes of feedback I've seen whilst reviewing folks who're visiting Habbo for the first time was 'why is it so silent?'
Keystone hopes to change that with new sound effects throughout the game. Furniture interaction, placement, pick-up.
Making Habbo just that little bit more immersive.
Missed tonights stream?
Here's a quick snapshot of just some of the new item sound effects introduced as a part of the upcoming @HabboOrigins Keystone Update.
Habbo Origins: Keystone see's Origins move away from it's legacy architecture into a more modern engine, allowing for all sorts of new innovations including new lighting effects and sound.
Which sound effect is your favourite?

Really cool!
The atmosphere you can create with keystone lighting in @HabboOrigins is seriously next level. #HabboOrigins #Keystone
Checkout the atmosphere!
Access to Keystone will be slowly rolling out over the next few days through Steam.
Access is going to be fairly limited at first to ensure there are no game breaking bugs & will open more widely shortly afterwards.
We're super excited to have you all check it out!
Just beyond the hotel lies Deepgrove. 馃尶
Who left these ruins behind, and what might still be waiting inside?
Bring a little of the grove home with the next Hotel update. #HabboOrigins
Habbos! I'd like to apologise for missing an update week last week, but I think the changes dropping this week will make up for it.
First, we're starting the opt-in, multi-plane building mode. This is a substantial change to the way building is managed in the game.
This is a huge overhaul within game engine. You'll be able to access each surface plane independently, and if there's something obscuring your view, it will fade away in an attempt to give you some insight into what's behind there.
Furniture can be placed directly on planes without any stacking tricks, or advanced building modes. Put furniture exactly where you want it easily.
We're also introducing a brand new onboarding mechanic too!
Sora, who'll be available over your console and will even join your room upon request is the new hotel guide, walking you through your first experiences in the hotel.
All users (new or old) will be able to complete the Welcome Track, but the aim here is to be able to introduce brand new mechanics to players in safe, scripted environments.
They will enter instanced versions of public rooms, to illustrate fishing, gardening, wobble squabble, and more, giving them a real feel of what's available in the hotel.
Ever get stuck waiting for an opponent to play a game of Battle Ball?
We're introducing new bots in some of our game modes to ensure you're never stuck waiting again.
These bots will spawn with a secret, system ELO that'll rise and fall as you win or lose to them - The Red Devil hopes you're ready for the challenge.
No more paging your entire console to try and get somebody to help you with your daily challenge!
Another trail will soon hit the game - this one targetted at our builders: Spatial Planes.
Spatial Planes introduce real, plane levels within a room allowing you to build, walk, and interact at different altitude levels, without the need for illusion or trickery.
We've tried a couple of different approaches to this in the past, but feel really good about this one.
Trial will be Opt-In, and we're going to be on the ground listening for feedback on how this impacts the feel of Origins, and potential impact to existing rooms.
