Week two saw an update to 0.1.3.3, bringing with it key rebinding as well as various fixes and improvements. We’ll make sure one update a week is the least you can expect, although as we get more testers on board we’ll be able to do more during some weeks.
While all these bug fixes and improvements are important, it’s high time we started getting some fun new features and toys for you to play with! In the next update coming this week, we will be introducing the Vitamin X power up - an inventory item that will give you the following buffs:
- Super strong urine stream! It will not only break windows, but also knock over NPCS!
- Machete will dismember NPCs with the primary fire and no charge time
- Melee attacks are faster
- Dude’s movement speed increased
- Kicking NPC’s will knock them over
(More buffs will be added in the future)
Work on being able to save and load from checkpoints is ongoing. If you guys are wondering how the hell this could be taking so long - we don’t blame you - the complexity of implementing it while using open world level streaming caught us off guard too. We’re still not quite ready to put an ETA on when it’s coming, but we’ll update you as soon as we know more.
We have also started to step up our efforts to implement the three side errands that we have planned for (ingame) Monday, and these will come sometime after the save system is implemented.
We decided to create a new community forums and are in the process of getting that set up right now, and sometime in the next week or two we will open it up for registration. We’ll continue to monitor and participate on the steam forums as we have been, though.
We’ve continued to gather your feedback and are in the process of implementing some of them (using dismembered limbs as makeshift melee weapons, for example).
Performance improvements are ongoing, and we’re also working on more menu options in this area, notably a population slider like the one found in P2 - allowing for more of fewer NPCs wandering around.
Thank you for your continued support, reviews and feedback!
