Bendy and the Ink Machine - joeydrewstudiosinc

Hi Everyone!

Thanks everyone for sending reports of bugs or things that needed adjustments, and even suggestions. We've pushed the latest hotfix now which includes the following updates:

Hotfox v1.5.1.2

Player can now move while using the Seeing Tool
Removed FPS cap when vsync is off
Resolved many Null References between loading chapters
Remove Saving while in Chapter Select (Chapter Select does not save your progress, use Continue instead)
Updated several floating models and decals
Fixed several light sources that were on when they should be off
Fixed several mode clipping or z-fighting issues
Fixed soft lock spot in Chapter 3 where the player can get stuck
Fixed many Null References when using the Lift in Chapter 3
Minor update to prop texture
Fixed soft lock spot in Chapter 5 where the player can get stuck
Update collision where the player can clip through models in various areas
Re-added missing Lost Ones in Chapter 5 ending area

While we were in there we did a few other adjustments and fixes that are super minor. It's been a good 6 years or so since we've done any updates to the game so it's been an interesting experience going back in time. Maybe we'll do it again sometime soon!

Thanks everyone

Hotfix 1.5.1.1

Bendy and the Ink Machine - joeydrewstudiosinc

Hi there!

We just pushed a quick hotfix to address 2 minor visual issues, as well as add in a new feature

Fixed Chains holding the pallet in Chapter 2
Fixed Chains holding the pallet in Chapter 4
Added SKIP ability for Chapter 5 opening sequence

SKIP

In order to skip, you just need to press "Interact" twice to skip a sequence. So that would be "E" for example. This will help you get into the action sooner if you don't want to watch these sequences.

Thank you!

Happy Halloween!

We have been able to work on some much needed bug fixes as well as some minor adjustments throughout the game. While we were at it we decided to have some Halloween fun and include some spookiness to Bendy's universe. Ink Demon's Eve runs from October 23-31 every year.

Patch Notes for v1.5.1

Updated the Chapter 2 Flooded Stairs Lever to become active sooner
Added ability to skip the JDS Logo on launch
Added a "Toggle Run" option
Slightly Increased weapon range and attack radius
Significantly reduced the length of the Chapter 5 Harbor Battle
Removed the Store Button from the main menu (you can go to https://bendymerch.com/ though!)
Updated the credits with Co-Creator Mike Desjardins
Fixed several null references from spamming in the background
Added some spooky stuff for Halloween
Added a Halloween dedicated achievement

With assistance from chazaswag, who helped locate issues in the code:

Fixed Sammy's name on his Audio Log
Fixed Chapter 4 Audio Log achievement
Fixed Chapter Select button from becoming disabled
Fixed Save Glitch where no OnFileWriteEvent event was being cleared
Fixed Volume settings not being applied at start
Fixed Chapter 3 Ending Elevator Softlock
Workaround Fix for Chapter 5 Weak Plank Softlock
Added chazaswag to the credits

Bendy and the Ink Machine no longer supports Linux, Mac, or Windows 32-bit. So this update will not take place on those platforms. However your game should still run as it was in v1.5, If you're having any trouble you can always revert back to v1.5 by right clicking the game in your Steam library, going to Properties... and selecting the Betas tab.
