What a ride since the last stable release and patch notes back in April last year.. I got a new full-time job, 2nd son was born in August 2021, and we - my wife & our children - finally moved to our new house beginning this year.
Well, I’m not really here to talk about my IRL events (unless you want to know more?), but more to announce that this new stable release brings a lot of bug fixes and enhancements that I have been carefully working on last year.
See all changes list at the bottom of this post to learn more.
The most important news is indeed that the local co-operation mode is now out of beta and available to all players. No new content, but a devlog showing what’s next this year will follow in a couple of weeks.
So, this local co-op mode will allow up to 4 players to play locally on the same screen, or using the Remote Play Together feature from Steam. Full gamepad support, but player 1 may use the keyboard instead if prefered while others must play using gamepads.
Another important thing to mention is that I reworked entirely the game camera to make it flexible enough for what’s next. Currently the camera will stick to a random player that is alive (normally the most advanced one in the current level). Players who die or fall will pop into a bubble. Bubbles should pop-out once they overlay another non-bubbled players around safe areas. Anyway it is possible to remain bubbled the whole level. If no players are alive, current level will restart and current progression in that level will be reset.
Additionally this update brings a lot of bug fixes, enhancements, and non visible changes that should enhance your gaming experience. This was also a good opportunity to prepare lots of stuff for what’s next, but I'll talk about that specifically in a separate post.
Update installation insctructions
Before updating the game, please make sure to uninstall the existing version of the game you have. Then reinstall the game with the latest available version.
Please, notice that you'll loose your current progression. This is temporary. I will workt on a solution in the next updates. In the meantime, I'll keep providing save game files that you can manually add to the game files. See section below.
Using an archive save file
I have created a post Save Files Archive in the General Discussions sub-forum with instructions on how to restore save files. Plus I added a download list of save files that you can use to unlock the Forest and/or Beach environments. You're free to use these save files in case you lost your progression, and don't want to start from zero. Anyway, please, be aware that it won't unlock achievements automatically. More info on what each save game file does directly within the forum post.
If you run into issues or would like to share some feedbacks, please make sure to create a new post on related sub-forums:
