Viva La Purgación!
After MONTHS of no updates, we're back with something big. We've pretty much added all of the features we intended to add from the release. Today we're proud to announce the Viva La Purgación! update, which adds new character models to unlock, a shop, an inventory for customization, a new scenario, two new soundtracks, a couple of Quality of Life improvements and solves some known bugs.
Let's start with the new features.
New Scenario (+new Soundtracks)
Avena Club, a tropically inspired club.
It is possible to choose the preferred Scenario in the Lobby Creation menu:
Shop and Inventory (+new Character Models)
You can now earn Loyalty Points by completing matches (not necessarily winning them). They can be spent in the Shop section of the game, where you can find loads of new Character Models that can be assigned to their respective character.
In addition, some tropically inspired characters from Viva La Purgación! Pack have been added, along with new emotes.
They can be equipped and unequipped in the Inventory Section of the game, where you will have the full list of Characters and Emotes that you possess.
They're Steam items! That means you can check them out in your Steam Inventory as well.
Loyalty Points are also Steam Items.
Passworded Lobbies
You can now add a password to your lobbies. These will still appear in the list of available lobbies if the Hidden option is not selected, however they will now require a password.
Tweaks and Bugfixes
Of course we've also solved some annoying bugs:
- Colour of the Table is now relative to the selected scenario.
- Written Text will no longer go out of bounds.
- Fixed a bug that would not let the screen resolution be set to 1440p.
- GOAT CRASH: fixed a bug that would crash the game if the player wrote their text overly out of bounds in the Journal.
- Fixed a bug that would sometimes not show the Journals of other players at the end of the game.
- Network and stability issues improvement.
Known Bugs
Ralph and I are constantly monitoring our Community Discord. We are currently investigating most of the bug reports that have been sent by you in the #report-a-bug channel. The following is a list of known bugs:
- Nameplate, Journal and Party Membership card spawning away from the table. This seems to happen when the player focuses out of the game (minimizes the game in the toolbar) whilst the match is in the loading screen (the Waiting for Players screen) at the start of a game.
- The Tyrant sometimes spawns either as a Dissident or a Loyalist, forcing the players to recreate the match.
- The game status in the top left corner of the screen sometimes reports a negative number of decrees remaining.
- The "Form a Commissariat" dossier sometimes asks for a negative number of players to be selected.
