Hey all!
Fantastic launch! I couldn’t be much happier with how things have gone so far. A big THANK YOU to everyone who's taken the time to try out the game.
As with any launch, this one is not without its hiccups. At the moment, I’m receiving an overwhelming amount of feedback from players -- which, don’t get me wrong, is a very good thing -- but it may take a bit of time to sort out all of the issues that people are having. Please bear in mind that I’m the only person developing this game, and the player base has just now expanded to a level that I wasn’t anticipating at this stage of development.
While the game was in open beta for a years and a half prior to its Steam Early Access release, this huge influx of players has resulted in the discovery of a whole lot of new bugs, some of which are “showstoppers” for a portion of players. I’d like to get as many of the really egregious bugs sorted out before I start creating new content for the game and making major balance changes.
I've just released a small update that fixes some of the issues that players have been reporting to me. Here are the patch notes:
Alpha 20b
UI / Controls
- Fixed “Accept” button text not appearing on the Missions screen
- “Host” filter for multiplayer games now works properly
- Added filter for Locked multiplayer games
- Text on Character Select screen fits better in all languages
- Twitch username and channel name are forced to lowercase to prevent mistakes
- Potential fix for incorrect keys appearing during instructions/tutorial
Gameplay
- Gorilla can now talk to people in the Home Base
Tutorial
- Fix for instance where you could break the tutorial with the Wall Bypasser
- Fixed instance where you could break the tutorial by hitting the rock to an unreachable position
Unlocks
- Banana Peel unlock now works as stated in the description (you need to kill someone with the banana peel)
Multiplayer
- Possible fix for issue where players could get “Withdrawal” and “Feelin’ alright” at the same time
Other
- Game no longer attempts to manually set the resolution to 1024x768 windowed mode directly after starting.
Keep reporting any bugs you find through the forums and the in-game form, this is all very useful to me!
