Patch: 1.4.6
Peekaboo - River Banks
Another small patch today to improve the stability of the game.

Changes:
  • Fixed a crashed caused when a player surrenders as a prop
  • Added Coyote Time for props (improved jumping)
  • Fixed purple outline staying on objects it shouldn't
  • Removed the requirement for 3+ players to be in the lobby to gain XP. Now you only need 2 players
  • Increased the level cap to 100
  • Fixed a bug that caused the hunter to be super slow
  • Significantly reduced the props ability to jump on walls
  • Fixed various bugs on multiple maps
  • Added Discord Rich Presence (Speaking of, join our Discord!)
  • Added a new achievement "It's Bear Time". Find a hidden bear and transform into it as a prop to unlock. There is a bear hidden on every map.
  • Improved crash logging. If you are having issues with crashing please join the Discord and let me know!

The next update will include some new content, but will take longer to develop.

Stay tuned!

Patch: 1.4.2
Peekaboo - River Banks
Hi everyone!
Today I have a very important patch that addresses some long standing problems like the experience system not working and a bunch of map bugs. Now that this patch is done, I can get started on some more exciting updates and work on some marketing to bring new players to the game. As always, let me know if you have any feedback!

Changes:
  • Fixed the experience system;
  • Removed skill points, abilities now unlock based on account level;
  • Slightly improved jumping as a prop;
  • New: Unstuck button for Hunters;
  • Fixed terrain textures on the Winter Kingdom map;
  • Improved visibility of the chat box;
  • Fixed various bugs on the following maps: City, Winter Kingdom, SciFi City, Farm, and Military;
  • Cleaned project files, reduced the overall game size by ~0.5 GB

Developer Notes:
The experience system hasn't been working for years, this was due to the old database completely breaking. Over the last couple weeks, I had to completely rebuild the database with new tools, and implement that into the existing code. This took some time, but now that its working, players can once again gain experience and unlock abilities and achievements. Unfortunately, since the old database was lost, all player data was reset. There wasn't anything I could do to prevent this, so to hopefully make up for it, I'll be running a double XP boost from now till the end of the week. Additionally, I'd like to note that I have plans to rework the skill system that we currently have. For now, I've removed skill points to simplify the code, but in the future though we'll have a much more interesting skill system and more skills for you to play with. Stay tuned!

If I've missed anything, please let me know below or on our Discord!

The Double Experience Boost runs from now until 6 PM PST on Sunday, September 22nd.

Have fun!

Ember Light Games Takes Over Development of Peekaboo
Peekaboo - River Banks
Hi everyone! I know its been a long time since any news has come from Peekaboo, but today that changes. Ember Light Games will be taking over development of Peekaboo, and will continue to support the game with new content, bug fixes, and quality of life changes going forward.


I'm very excited to be able to work on Peekaboo, as I've enjoyed the game for many years now, and this will give me a great opportunity to sharpen my skills as a developer. My current plan is to focus on some bug fixes and quality of life changes to begin with, while I get comfortable working on the project. I also want to spend more time playing the game, and reading feedback from players to better understand where the high priority tasks are. If you have any feedback, feel free to let me know either here in the Steam Forums, or on the Ember Light Discord. I'll see you in game!
