News update and spooky Halloween plans!

Greetings svrvivors, and welcome to the first week of Kartong´s launch! We have been blown away by your positive feedback so far, and are already at work with our next update <3

The original Halloween content will be live until November 6th, so make sure to play Kartong before that and record those spooky video clips while you still can! After Nov 6th our dear Mr. Chuckles will put his pumpkin helmet to rest (somewhere in the city) and return to his grumpy teddy roots for a while.

HIGHLIGHT CONTEST
Until that date we will look for your cool clips, screenshots, fan art and guides submitted to Kartong´s Steam Community Central. For our next week's news update we will highlight our favorite posts and give you an additional update on the progress of our next patch! :)

We saw amazing ideas in your reviews and forum posts, so here´s what we'll try to fix first:

Major:
- Allow the walk mode direction to match your controller direction, instead of the camera's.
- Improve matches, so they can be lit by touching candles and other clearly burning items.
- Prevent various exploits and level skipping tricks, and polish warnings for out of bounds.
- Improve interaction with traps, especially Trip Wire Axes, and keys dropping below traps.

Minor:
- Fix the white drawn decals to be less messy, especially to clear up the tutorial readability.
- Add menu options such as returning to specific difficulty levels, or toggle shadows on/off.
- Tuning the inventory readability and watch display to correctly display the ammo amount.

Reasons why we want to prioritize this:
As you may have guessed, Kartong is a game about escaping as fast as possible, and killing as many enemies as you can along the way. We want to prepare the base game for competitions quickly, so we can tune the movement and teleport speeds along with our new power-ups.

We have a Discord too, if you have any questions that are not crucial to post on the forum! You can join for a quick chat with us by using the invite link: https://discord.gg/hus6PuM

Streams and collaborations are greatly appreciated <3

Until next time,
Have a spooky Halloween weekend!
