Hey Killers! Hope you've been having fun with Santa's Slay and all the goodies it brings! If you haven't checked it out, here's a link to check it out! Wanted to give a loving Skullface shout out to Pennie, who did the amazing fan art we featured above! Check out Pennie's Deviant Art page @ http://slimy-pennies.deviantart.com/ for more of her awesome work!
We'll be sending out the new KILLER KODE for the monthly murderer very soon (within the hour!), so make sure you're signed up to the Monthly Murderer Club (the Slayaway Camp Mailing List).
We send the killer code out via the mailing list on the third Friday of every month (that's today!) with a new killer exclusive to people who have the KODE, keep an eye out for it!
We've also made a bunch of bug fixes and updates to the game in the past couple weeks. Here's a full list of what you can expect the next time you start up Slayaway Camp!
FIXES & UPDATES
Movie Intro Cutscenes now have subtitles in case you're not sure what that gravelly voice of Mark Meer is saying. You can disable subtitles from the pause menu.
Zoom tutorial now shows correct text when controller is plugged in
Backup feature for save games (When loading a new version / updated version of the game, your save game will be duplicated to a backup file in your Application Data / AppData folder just in case something happens, you can restore to your old file.
Killers are now sorted more betterer/more ocd-friendly on the killer shelf
Fixed issue where you could not scroll to the bottom of the pause menu.
Emoji bubbles now appear in front of killer faces where they should be, instead of behind them where they shouldn't be.
Fixed occasional freeze caused by missing bonus kills on Santa's Slay
SFX now mutes properly when entering killer code if SFX is set to mute in menu
Fixed a bug where blood would remain on-screen after rewinding after editing blood settings in menu
Fixed a bug where selecting the Intro Cutscene via blue menu in Santa's Slay would cause a freeze. Thanks to powermad24 for reporting and for his patience whilst we fixed it up :)
Gorepack prices are now displaying correctly in their tooltips
Changes to the Hint Tutorial popup so it's a little nicer to look at.
FOK3 text description is no longer hidden
Fixed bug where pausing while being killed caused unusual idle animations
Minor text fixes
Minor bug fixes
Minor graphical fixes
Minor UI fixes
Over 10 bubble teas were consumed during these fixes.
COMING SOON
We've been doing a lot of work on a couple big things in the background and will have proper announcements coming soon, but to leave you with some tidbits: we've got a few more languages localized and will be able to implement that soon enough, and we also have been working hard on getting an iOS version done, and are almost ready to start beta testing it again. If you want to be part of the iOS beta, make sure you're on the mailing list and we'll send out more info on that soon! Join the mailing list at www.slayawaycamp.com :)

You may have noticed we have a brand new update to Slayaway Camp today! A lot of the update is preparation for the Santa's Slay Expansion Pack which officially launches in just a couple short days, but there are also a huge stack of fun goodies and updates that you can enjoy today on your puzzle, er... excursions...
As always we appreciate all your amazing feedback, reviews, forum comments, screenshots, videos and more!
NEW FEATURES!
We decorated the video store. We do hope you enjoy the extent of our holiday spirit.
Viewing a Gorepack now shows a random victim, instead of the same dude every time. He got tired of getting slaughtered over and over so we made it a priority to switch it up and give him a break.
Setup a system for more interesting Killer possibilities. You should be seeing some cool new killers soon enough!
Shelf scene shows the Movie name after selecting a movie.
If replaying a level that you've already beat, we used to not give the bonus kill screen after finishing the level. We've changed this so if you do replay a level, you get another chance at a bonus kill, only this time the coins rewarded are about half of what they were originally. This is a nice way to continue to get coins even though you've already beat levels.
More than everything else, we've got everything setup for the Santa's Slay Expansion Pack, so if you have $2 laying around & want to get some holiday slaying done, be sure to pick that up this Wednesday!
SWAT Cops were shooting you in the back even after you teleported away. Unfair! Now teleporters let you escape, just as they should :)
NC17 Boss Levels were not being marked "Green" / complete. This was a huge bummer especially if it was a level that took a long while to solve and you wanted to show off that you completed all the levels (or NC17 levels) in a movie. It now gets marked green / complete. :)
An NC17 level was still completable after you had died on the level. This was super tricky but was resolved so it can no longer occur.
A bunch of minor graphical and design bugs were resolved to help keep things looking shiny and new.
A few minor gameplay / level specific bugs were dealt with in order to make sure you aren't interrupted from weirdness while you solve those puzzles. :)
As always.. Happy Slaying! ːskullfaceːːslayawayaxeː
P.S. Person with the best Christmas horror story (short and sweet is best tho) will receive a FREE Santa's Slay Steam key you can use to unlock the Expansion pack TODAY! Just leave a comment below and we'll pick the winner with the best story by 9:00pm PST!
