Citizen!

I hope you're enjoying summer (if you're on the northern hemisphere) or winter (if you're on the southern).

Personally, I'm enjoying a bit of both since I'm currently squatting over the Equator. Sun is shining on my right thigh. Snow is falling on my left. It's a beautifully confusing thing to experience. I'm sure you'd agree if you where here yourself.

As if that wasn't enough, I also just finished uploading a new update for the game.

Below you'll find a content listing:

• Chapter 1: Fixed sound glitch when calling Mr Morton twice
• Chapters 2, 3, 4 & 5: Fixed typos
• Chapters 2, 4 & 5: Tweaked background graphics
• Chapters 1, 4 & 5: Fixed graphical depth sorting issue
• Chapter 5: Removed egg collection limitation
• Chapter 5: Tweaked end caption
• Chapter 5: Removed egg related spoilers

We hope you like it. Shout out in the comments below if you encounter anything strange/buggy in the game. Thanks to everyone who's taken the time to report an issue in the game!

Cheers,

First of all: sorry for the radio silence.

We've been busy working on Chapter 6. It's a strange, demanding beast. Progress has been great, but there's still a lot of work to do before it's ready for prime time. Rest assured, we'll announce a release date as soon as we know what it is.

In the meantime, here's a fresh build with a decent amount of improvements. Nothing earth-shaking, but minor adjustments make a difference as well.

Below you'll find a content rundown:

• Engine: Fixed loading glitch after a settings change
• Engine: Fixed bug that stopped dialogue options from dimming correctly
• Game: Added chapter captions
• Game: Automated game update pipeline
• Game: Improved performance while on menus
• Game: Improved stability
• Chapter 2, 4 & 5: Tweaked background graphics
• Chapter 4: Tweaked dream map descriptions
• Chapter 5: Tweaked background graphics
• Chapter 5: Tweaked object descriptions

This is happening right now:

I'm wearing a black hoodie, drinking Becherovka (that I bought leaving the Czech Republic). I haven't shaved in three weeks (because that's how I roll). I'm slow-dancing to the track 'Horse Steppin'' from the first Hotline Miami game. It's great. Put it on. You won't regret it.

The reason behind all this sexy madness is because I felt like celebrating our first three years on Steam! It's been a wild ride full of releases, screenshots, updates, hot sex, cocaine, bug fixes, car chases, shoot-outs with the police, and lots of great feedback from you guys! Thank you for being there with us!

If you're still on the fence about the game, we lowered the price by 66% this week. Try out the first two chapters, or buy them all in one fell swoop if you're feeling adventurous. Either way, I think you'll have a great time!

That's pretty much it. We hope you're doing well wherever you are. As for me: my ass is in Sweden but my heart is still in the Czech Republic. The machine loves you!

Děkuji,

It's been a while since we last talked. Have you missed us? We've missed you. What have you been up to? Breaking hearts? Breaking laws? That's what we would do given half a chance. Trust us. But the fact of the matter is, we've been busy. So very, very busy.

What have we been up to? Why, we're glad you ask!

Aside from Chapter 6 (no date yet) we dedicated some time to completely overhaul the music engine. It was the main culprit behind the crashes that some of you have been experiencing. So it had to go. We've also added an extra hint system, that you can turn on in the settings. If you enable it, Victor will offer more advice on how to solve certain puzzles. We also optimized save file access so accessing the save/load UI should be a lot faster now.

Here's a full rundown of the contents:

• Engine: Added an extra hint system (option in settings)
• Engine: Re-wrote music engine to address stability issues
• Engine: Optimized save file access (only affects PC Steam version)
• Engine: Fixed rare freeze bug when watching close-ups
• Chapter 1-5: Tweaked dialogue
• Chapter 1-5: Tweaked backgrounds
• Chapter 3-5: Updated music assets
• Chapter 2: Added sound effects
• Chapter 2: Tweaked background music
• Chapter 3: Added autosave points
• Chapter 5: Fixed prism mirror indentation bug
• Chapter 5: Fixed graphical glitch in Willard's apartment

All in all, it's one of our meatier updates and we hope you'll like it. As always, don't be shy if you encounter problems with the game. And remember: the machine loves you.

We're happy to inform you that we just enabled Steam Cloud for the game. This means that your save games and settings will now be stored safely in the warm heart of cyberspace, and then synchronize across all your machines.

This feature is currently only supported on PC, but we hope to enable it on Mac in the future.

Also, the machine loves you.
