I’ve been promising more mobs, and folks, this week we deliver( at least in first draft form!). The brand new murder parrotI showed you last week is in the game, and so is the explosive-egg-laying slug!
The Parrot is a walking alarm bell, driving the team noise meter up and making life hellish for players. The slug, meanwhile, doesn’t care about you.. And would be harmless, if not for the explosive eggs everywhere.
We’re not done with mobs yet, we’ve got a few more still in development for Early Access, but for the time being we hope you enjoy fleeing in terror from these little beasties.
While you’re running, though, watch where you step. We decided murderous pets and deadly impacts with couches wasn’t enough, so we’ve added more ways to die. Some of the homes you’re looting are now protected by landmines!!
If you hear the beep, it’s too late.
We’ve also made some adjustments to the new mask pipeline. Now when you loot an item and pay to have it turned into the mask, it will show up immediately on the table. And, if you don’t like ANY of your masks, look for the rotary phone in the HQ. You can use it to call the Burgle Supply company and get them to send you a whole new shipment of masks… for a small fee, of course.
Last big change I’m going to mention is a change to audio. Since chatting with your teammates is important, we’ve made game audio persistent even if you tab out of the game. That way you can–oh, just as a random example–tab out to capture a screenshot of an amazing moment and not lose voice access to your crew. If you don’t love the feature, that’s okay! You can find the setting to turn it off in the audio options menu.
As always, we’d love to know what you think, so use that link to the feedback form and drop us a message!
GLHFDDD!!
