Hey Chris!
I’ve noticed a few negative comments on your tweets but I wanted to address a few points.
We’re done a tonne of research into the users expectations when they join Habbo, and there’s usually two immediate questions:
“What do I do?”
“Why is it so silent?”
As a long time Habbo player; the silence probably isn’t unusual to you, but it is unusual for any brand new player, and the evidence shows it - you can see it yourself watching people visiting Habbo for the first time on YouTube for example.
Small things like this make the game feel more cohesive, complete. We’re also making changes to the onboarding flow, to help give users their first few goals, where they’ll learn about the numerous different activities that exist within the game - all with brand new sound effects to help fill that emptiness many of our new users mention as being, well, weird.
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.

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!
