Beta 0.3.1 is out now
Not a big update, but quite a few essential things are in this nonetheless. I did want to include much more, but since development has been very slow I decided to finalize what was currently there and make this update. Apologies for taking so very long to update the game. I've be

Hey everyone,
Updates are a bit slow as I'm currently trying to make the June deadline for Keep It Running: Together. Getting sick and then going on holiday messed up my schedules quite a bit.
No worries, updates will pick up for Disinfection again after that :)
Wishlist Keep It Running: Together here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3448380/Keep_It_Running_Together/
I'm experimenting with the new physics engine in the new version of Godot, but this will be on the beta testing branch first as it may change and break certain things. If it improves things (and it looks like it will) I'll definitely include it.
Bugfixes:

New Godot version means that shader compile lag is now a thing of the past, the game now initially uses default shaders until custom ones are finished compiling.
Polishes:

Made the button trigger of doors much bigger, so you no longer have to precisely aim at the button.
The button trigger no longer messes with dragging doors, making it a lot easier to do so.
Tweaked the door dragging strength.
Light improvements to shadows and lighting.
Further difficulty tweaks.

Big update today: we've been very busy improving the overall gameplay experience, whilst adding some new content and polishing features.
We're going to focus a bit on addressing the elephant in the room: the learning curve and lack of rewards that new(er) players experience.
Though we've added a bunch of tutorial-esque things to the game (the tutorial, the PDA info, the info screen in the airlock) these do not fix the core issue the game has at the moment:
The game is too punishing at first, whilst not really rewarding players, which makes it hard to get into the game. We noticed it takes most players at least 3 missions to decently get to grips with the Infection identification and surviving the monsters it throws at them, all whilst dying quite a lot. Of course the game does need some challenge, but it's too much all at once without any reward.
So a lot has been tweaked for the Amateur and Easy missions, giving players more secondary tasks to do and more rewards for doing these tasks, whilst also tweaking the Infection parameters more to ease players into things.
However we also realized the tasks is where the game needs a big upgrade: it needs tasks that also teach the mechanics of the game, whilst giving rewards that allow players to build up some funds to buy more Tools and Weapons to tackle the harder missions and tasks once they feel more confident.
Currently there's only the Computer Core, Special Item and Crew Rescue tasks which do not really teach much about the game.
In coming updates we're going to add a bunch of extra secondary tasks to missions that should help players get to grips with the game more naturally, with a more rewarding feel.
More on this soon!
For now here's what has already been done:
Bugfixes:

Fixed door button interfering with dragging doors,
Fixed lighting on doors,
Fixed Hunter monster neck stretching out strangely during some animations,
Fixed bug in infection start location not starting out fully infected on Amateur and Easy missions,
Fixed bug in infection shaders that made infected environments pure black making it very hard to see anything,
Fixed missing navigation in “roundabout” area,
Fixed issue with navigation in large Cryo room,
Fixed issue with navigation in medium Reactor Core room,
Fixed possible issue with navigation in medium Life Support room,
Fixed possible issue with navigation in medium Computer Core room,
Possible fix for getting stuck when revived at the end of the mission after having been killed whilst hiding,
Fixed Reprogrammer instantly killing the Infection when hacking the third node. Now it will take a few seconds before the Infection dies,
Shop interface is now only accessible outside of missions to prevent issues,
Fixed some bugs in syncing the Infection visuals in Afterlife,
Fixed light flickers causing broken lights to get unbroken and lit again,
Fixed entire ship getting infected when the Infection dies,
Polishes:

Amateur missions have more secondary tasks so new players have more ways to make money early on. This will be further expanded upon with tasks that help teach the game’s mechanics along with more rewards to get going,
Repair Tasks will no longer show up for Amateur and Easy missions to make things more fair for newer players and to add more progression to the gameplay,
Increased Special item reward to 50,
Lowered Crew penalty to 10,
Door button trigger is larger so players no longer have to aim at the button itself,
Added audio alerts for low oxygen and low integrity,
Updated collision on several environment assets,
Updated collision in the Lobby,
Updated some models in the Lobby,
Infection spread rate is more balanced for harder missions,
Source monster now shows up properly in Afterlife,
Infection death now includes a visual effect which pulses throughout the ship,
Adjustments to volumetric lighting to improve visuals and atmosphere,
Performance adjustments for main menu background scene,
General visual improvements and performance improvements,
Adjustments to materials to improve reflections and visual quality,
When power is lost lights now turn off instead of turning red,
Infection growths now only show up on fully infected areas,
Infection growths will now vanish when the Infection is destroyed,
Changed how the Infection spreads which diversifies the spread behavior between Infection types,
Slightly lowered overall Infection rate to make things more balanced,
Adjustments in ambient ship sounds,
Ambient ship sounds now fade out when the Reactor Core breaks,
Hunter footstep sound are now audible over a larger distance,
Hunter footstep sounds are now randomized for better realism,
Hunter breathing now becomes muffled the farther away it is,
Made player flashlight a little brighter,
Updated Tutorial to include the new Infection shaders,
Direct Connect menu option will no longer show if Steam is running/is online to prevent confusion. At a later point we will switch to an invite-code system instead of the Lobby list that we have now.
Achievements:
The first achievements have been added to the game. More will be implemented in the coming updates.
Environments:
The environments have been given some improvements to improve visuals.
We also updated a lot of the missing assets for the ship environments.

Loads of things have been fixed and updated in this version, especially concerning the monsters and infection. We got quite a few more smaller things and some big things that we want to fix or update so expect more patches like this in the near future.
Bugfixes:

Fixed a bug in the Source monster which causes it to constantly loop in losing line-of-sight of its target and then re-targeting the same target,
Fixed Hunter breathing sounds not playing,
Fixed Hunter footstep sounds not playing,
Fixed Hunter banging on door sounds sometimes not playing,
Fix for some evidences (Geiger especially) not being obvious at all for some infection types, range-based Tools have been tweaked to be more intuitive which pickup up evidence sources,
Fixed temperature evidence being too high for some infection types causing the Temperature Gun to overflow and display a very cold value,
Fixed Mission Control saying the Infection was destroyed even though it isn’t on Amateur missions,
Fixed clamped vertical mouse movement which for example caused having to move the mouse back the same distance to be able to look down again,
Polishes:

General code and asset optimization and cleanup,
Made the infection effect transition to black smooth instead of instant,
Adjusted light flickers to be more unsettling,
Changed the visuals for the Source monster,
Updated the hunting sounds for the Source monster,
The Source monster now has different sounds for chasing and roaming,
Updated the hunting sounds for the Hunter,
The Hunter will now turn its head to stare at whomever it is chasing,
Hard missions will now be available for ranks 10 and up, instead of 30 and up, to make the game less grind-y,
Hard missions have an higher chance of spawning 2-3 Crew or Items instead of 1,
Harder missions have an higher chance of having the Rescue and Recover objectives,
Slightly raised evidence strength increase for harder missions,
Infection start location is now more infected on easier missions,
Areas infected by the Infection Source now show half the temperature evidence than the Source itself, to make it easier/less confusing to locate the Source using the Temperature Gun,
Infected areas are slightly less dark now to improve visibility,

The last big feature has been fully implemented and with that... we are now in Beta version 0.1!
Now we can really focus on improving everything that's currently in the game and add the missing bits and bobs.
Let's take a look at this update.
The Shop:
The infections have gained in power, but so can you. Use the funds you gathered from your many missions and invest in new suits, tools and weapons or upgrade your current ones. The new shop in your spaceship will provide you with all your needs.
The Store is now fully functional, you can buy all the base items now and we will start adding a bunch of extra items and upgrades in future updates. The interface has been updated from the previous version to make it more intuitive. It also has had some bugfixes. Weapon prices have been lowered to make the game less grind-y. More advanced future items, tools and weapons will be more expensive however as those are meant to aid higher ranking players when harder missions are available to them.
Your Store inventory is saved along with the rest of your stats and synced with Steam Cloud.
Bugfixes:

The Infection hurt sounds no longer cut each other off,
Fixed navigation in Airlock type 4, Crew should no longer get stuck on the corner there,
Fixed missing infection textures on some of the stair assets,
Polishes:

The Hunter screams now get muffled in low-oxygen environments,
The Infection effect is now much stronger on heavily infected areas to create a more tense atmosphere,
Missions have a much lower chance to have the repair Secondary Objective if the player/team rank is low to make things much more fair for newer players. This is also to give a feel of progression as more Objectives become available as players go up in rank,
Amateur missions are more common for new/low rank players,
Amateur missions no longer have the requirement of having to destroy the infection to prevent penalizing new players that cannot afford Weapons just yet,
Mission info and Mission debriefing menus have been updated according to the new Amateur mission requirements,
Updated Mission Control voice lines to better reflect Mission success and failure on different difficulties and (un)completed objectives,
The difficulty of Missions has been further adjusted depending on Team rank, to give a greater sense of progression as higher difficulty tiers unlock as players rank up,
Added more spawn points for Special Items,
Added a new style of infected area effect to make the infected areas feel more alien and creepy.
Now that we've had a look at the present, let's take a look at...
The Future:
There's a couple of important things we need to tackle:

Missing assets: some of the level assets are still unfinished and there's still a few (functional) rooms we want to add such as a cockpit and an oxygen farm.
Finish the Infection's monsters: most of them are already in the game but require a bit more polishing and gameplay depth, the Item monsters especially are still rather bare-bones.
Polishing of existing features: everything is in the game and functional but some things still require further work to be at the level we want them to be.
Fixing bugs: is something we have been doing along the way, but now we don't need to implement major new features anymore we can focus much better on fixing bugs without introducing new ones right after.
Proximity voice chat, properly: we've had an implementation of voice chat before in the game, but it didn't work as well as we'd hoped. We're going to try a new approach using Steam Voice which should work a lot better, but will require some time and experimentation to get right.
Localization: we want to translate the game into multiple languages, though this will take some doing and assistance as there's quite a bit of text in the game and we do not currently have a translator in our midst. If you're willing to help us out with for example (SImplified) Chinese, Russian or Polish let us know!

Some essential fixes, changes and additions to Items, monsters and the Store.
Keep in mind that the Store changes mean you will have to buy your Weapons and extra Tools now, they no longer spawn by default.
This also means the Secondary Objectives are now much more important for teams that do not have the budget yet for buying (all the) Weapons.
Bugfixes:

fixed host player getting a fade-out effect when a client player is killed by the Hunter for the first time,
fixed the Source hunting monster sometimes hunting indefinitely,
fixed that in some sessions the Hunter would never spawn, instead the Source monster would spawn every time,
fixed issue in the Camera Item monster which could cause a crash or script execution failure if it finishes attacking a player,
fixed issue in the Black Box Item model that would still be visible even after it had changed into a monster,
Polishes:

Added gas explosion sound to Black Box monster,
Added idle sounds to the Item monsters,
Player store inventory is now saved locally and is now Steam Cloud synced,
Weapons can now be bought from the Store,
Weapons and extra Tools now do not spawn by default, players will have to buy them first,
Added a new mission failed voice line to make it more clear players get penalized for not destroying the infection.

Hello everyone, it has been a while. Draggie/Jeroen got a new part-time job besides gamedev and due to the changes had little time/energy to work on the game. Things are stabilizing now though and we're picking things back up.
We want to get the Store done next and that will get the game into Beta (version 0.1), which means we can then fully focus on polishing/fixing existing features and adding all the extra features/content.
So lets start with this patch, which is the last one before the Beta release. Lets take a look.
Bugfixes:

Fixed navmes in large Cryo room,
Fixed missing lights in one of the spiral staircases,
Fixed missing light tags in the new staircases,
Fixed audio settings not working in pause menu,
Fixed ambient Lobby sounds using the wrong audio bus, making volume settings not work for those,
Fixed bugged fire sprite in Tutorial,
Fixed lights being on in infected area in Tutorial,
Fixed some missing reverb area settings in Tutorial,
Fixed missing reverb area settings in some level generator sections,
Added missing area triggers in Tutorial,
Added and adjusted missing area tags in Tutorial for infection and Tools,
Fixed Skeleton monster spawn scream sound not playing,
Fixed issues with Skeleton monster spawn animation causing it to get stuck in an idle loop,
Fixed inventory and item dropping not working when player died previously with the PDA open,
Polishes:

Added more spawn locations for Special Items,
Added more spawn locations for Crew,
Item Monsters:
The Special Items that you need to retrieve can now be corrupted by the Infection, turning them into various passive and active creatures. Some will make it harder to see, others will mess with head and give you hallucinations and there's even one that can place you right in the midst of the source of horrors!

It's been a little quiet, so time for an heads-up on what we are working on and what you can expect.
Working towards the Beta:
The game is currently at version 0.08e and next update will be version 0.09. Now this update focuses mostly on the Special Items, the new monsters of these Items and the extra tasks during missions such as retrieving Items and Crew.
Here's some previews of the new creatures that the Infection spawns:
However we've been already working on the Store too, to get some basic systems in place. With the Store you'll be able to use your "space credits" accumulated from your missions to buy better and more equipment.
This also means that players/teams will now start out with only the bare basics, instead of having almost everything from the get-go. Additionally players will need to take into consideration that certain equipment such as the EMP bomb and Fire Extinguisher are single-use only and thus need to be bought again after use. Of course we will make sure this is nicely balanced out with the rewards you get from successful missions.
(these interfaces are still a work-in-progress, of course)
Once 0.09 is out we can start improving and expanding on the Store, to works towards the beta 0.1 release. Amongst other things we'll need to design and make new Suits, Tools and Weapons.
We're hoping to get 0.09 out sometime this month (July).
As a TL;DR: here's a list of things that we are working on or still have to do for the Beta:

Finish the 3 Item Monsters, each having unique abilities that will not kill you but will make your mission that much harder, These are almost done.
Finish the Store functionality. You will be able to manage the equipment you use on missions as well as buy new equipment. The basics are there but we need to finish the management section of the Store.
Add new Suits that are more specialized and/or more resilient, This is still TODO.
Add new Tools to help you on your missions. These will be able to temporarily deter the monsters, will help with pinpointing the location of the Source, will help deal with fire and repairs, etc. These are TODO.
New room: the Oxygen Farm. Here you will be able to recharge your oxygen to some degree. The rooms are finished, they now need to be implemented functionally into the game. [*[ Many bugfixes and polishes, which we always work on, naturally.
From Beta to Full Release:
Once the game is in Beta it will be feature-complete, though we will likely expand and improve on some features as we work towards the final version. Aside from that we will of course keep improving on the game so it is stable and smooth infection hunting for you all.
Additionally we will start work on implementing VR for an extra dimension of immersion :)
If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to comment, make a thread in the Steam Forums or hit us up on our Discord. We're happy to hear your thoughts.

Patch 0.08e - Netcode refactors, FSR and Resolutions and fixes!

FSR, resolutions and better aspect ratio support:
An FSR scaling option has been added to options menu, which allows scaling the currently set resolution anywhere between 50% to 100% (which turns it off). This allows for much better performance without too much image quality loss.
The resolution setting in the options menu now actually changes rendering resolution in fullscreen mode too, which allows players to lower the resolution from native for better performance if FSR doesn't solve it.
Fullscreen mode itself has been changed to exclusive fullscreen for better multi-monitor support.
In windowed mode the window will now automatically center on the main screen.
After feedback from some of you we did some testing and bugfixes in the UI/object picking and the game now properly supports different aspect ratios such as 4:3 and Ultrawide.
Please let us know in Steam Discussions, or Discord, if you still have issues with aspect ratios and the UI or interacting with stuff ingame.
Player netcode refactor:
There were some issues with the player netcode and we had to come up with some workarounds for sync issues for teams with more than 2 players. These weren’t game-breaking issues, but definitely ruined immersion as animations and rotations for example wouldn’t sync.
There were also sync issues with the hiding mechanic which needed fixing.
After some relentless testing and attempts at fixing things we decided to go for a code refactor to tidy up and get things sorted properly with a different approach to how the player code handles communication.
It was quite a bit of work but the new player netcode should provide a much more stable and immersive experience!
On top of that bandwidth usage has been reduced quite a bit, interactions with high ping should be snappier, interpolation for movement has been added for a more smooth experience with high ping and stuff like the hiding mechanic works much better now.
Bugfixes:

Fixed issues with interactions and objects at non 16:9 resolutions,
Fixed issue when changing the inventory whilst the PDA journal is open causes player to be unable to drop inventory items,
Fixed similar issue with having the PDA stats open, which breaks the PDA animation when changing inventory,
Fixed lights not going back on when Reactor is repaired,
Fixed ship systems not going back on when Reactor is repaired,
Fixed missing red color on some Growths in Afterlife,
Rewrote hiding system which should fix some bugs related to hiding,
Various fixes and refactors in player code, see details above.
Fixed miscalculation in ship health causing the VO to state the ship health is less than 50% when it is not.
Polishes:

Unpowered ship systems now show as yellow, infected/broken as red, in Afterlife,
Added effect for when a Lymph Node is destroyed,
Attacking Lymph Nodes gains you a little bit of time now,
Destroying a Lymph Node now gains you extra time,
Pulsing sound now stops when you die in Afterlife,
Added visual effect for getting hurt by the Seekers in Afterlife,
Adjustments to the Afterlife death effect, still a WIP but going to expand on this further in later updates,
Crew can now be hurt & infected by hunting monsters,
Crew suits have slight color variation now,
Crew now show an on-fire effect when hurt by the Flamethrower,
Crew now show an on-fire effect when hurt by fire in the ship,
Crew will now flee from target player when hurt,
Updated the fire sprite,
Added movement interpolation to player sync,
Changed fullscreen mode to exclusive fullscreen,
Windowed mode now centers properly on the main monitor.

Steam Replayability Fest is starting tomorrow so.... Pushing this update earlier than planned :)
Shop:
Basic implementation of the Shop is there, though not accessible for players just yet. We're going to be testing the features on the Testing Beta (you can opt in freely on Steam) the coming week(s) along with the other new things.
Along with the Shop there will be some new Tools slowly becoming available over time. There will be further additions to the monsters i.e. Special Item monsters as well as interactions between monsters and Crew.
For now here's what's been fixed & changed in this patch:
Bugfixes:

Fixed Crew monster not detecting line-of-sight for clientside players,
Fixed ship oxygen levels being incorrect.
Polishes:

Tweaked oxygen level simulation to be more consistent: oxygen will drop to 50% when the Life Support is broken, infected areas will drop their oxygen level further. Overall infection percentage also lowers the oxygen i.e. if a large portion of the ship is infected the overall level will be lower,
Added some new Crew spawn locations,
Flamethrower now affects Crew monster, charring it and slowing it down. It will also flee from its target for a few seconds when hit.
Crew monsters will now move very slowly within the range of an active Chiller,
