Temporary workaround for current bugs
Hey everyone! It's Marten here, once again with some Defunct news. Since the last update we've published for the game, we've been encountering some bugs in the game, which we haven't able to crush just yet. Now, as a temporary update, we're going to do the following. From now on,
Hey everyone! It's Marten here, once again with some Defunct news. Since the last update we've published for the game, we've been encountering some bugs in the game, which we haven't able to crush just yet. Now, as a temporary update, we're going to do the following. From now on, when you start the game, you'll get the option of choosing between playing in the current version (V1.0.2) or the previous version (V1.0.1). Choosing for the previous version will ensure that your experience is optimal as you won't encounter any of the following bugs:

An issue where players can't pick up boosts properly in some instances
Issues with collectibles, not registering properly
Clipping issues, in rare cases players are falling through the map
Lighting bugs
Issues with audio levels
Please be aware that when you play the game in v1.0.1, you'll start with a fresh save file. If you've played Defunct on V1.0.1. before, you'll continue with the last save game made in that version. This doesn't mean that your previous progress will be wiped, though. Once we're updating the game to v1.0.3, the save game from v1.0.2 will be preserved. Also, the v1.0.2 was mainly a language update, so just the following languages will be available in v1.0.1

English
French
Spanish
Italian
German
Swedish
Dutch
In the meantime, we're working our uhm... gravitize engines off to fix the bugs in the most recent version, so we can finally get some rest ːsteamboredː If there's any questions, let me know in the comments below!

Hey everyone A small patch has just been deployed for Defunct. Most of the input was submitted by the people that are speedrunning Defunct. This way the levels are better optimised which helps them with setting a new record time! For those of you that don't know, Defunct is participating in Games Done Quick (Summer Edition) this year. We'll get some more info out once we get closer to the date but just something we wanted to share with the community
Fixes

The junkyard won't be locked up when you use the Dawn skip from now on.
Rockbottom doesn't stay locked when you use the Oasis skip.
Music won't disappear when you restart a level.
