Hey Killers! We hope your spring is full of stuff that has sprung. We have been working hard on the Android release of the game and getting it ready to launch in closed beta very soon, but also have been making sure we have some cool stuff coming for Steam too, starting with a quick update that fixes some small issues that you have kindly reported to us! For your patience and kindness, Skullface will kill you last.


We've got some great new stuff coming up over the next month or so as well, including the SUPERNATURAL FORCES KILLER PACK: a brand new DLC Pack of premium Killers for just $2 USD.

Super Sweet Supernatural Psycho Killers Include:

• FLAMING SKULLFACE
  
• SUMERIAN DEMON
  
• SUPERNATURAL OCCURRENCE
  
• WRAITH
  
• YETI
  
• PLUS.... kevin

Each killer has a special premium effect, and comes with their very own special Gorepack kill animation. We'll have some more info on it all very soon!


Last but not least, here is a changelog for todays patches:

• There was an issue where music would stop, frozen in fear of an unspeakable kill animation taking place and would never return. We've talked to the music gently with our gentle voices so it's not so afraid anymore.
  
• We've Improved the UI on the Deleted Scenes menus. Should be more pleasing to your retinas now. Or maybe you don't even notice, in which case we've wasted our time, haven't we? We haven't.
  
• The pause button appeared while a level was loading but you couldn't hit it until the level had actually loaded. This was weird. So we told the pause button to get the hell out of here until the level had actually fully loaded and it seems to have listened.
  
• If you tried to pause while the Tombkeeper's walkthrough was 'rewinding' itself, you could essentially freeze your voxel killer in its tracks, forever doomed to a rewinding space in the infinitum of space and time. We've resolved this issues so your killer can now kill like a killer should kill.
  
• We fired the kid working at SKULL VIDEO (the video store on the movie shelf screen). He was a stoner / slacker and kept putting the DLC tapes in weird spots. You know what we said to him? We said "You're Fired" and we did this thing with our fingers like we were plucking a raspberry off an imaginary bush in front of our big orange face. We hired a new kid and she's awesome with the video tapes. Puts them where they're supposed to go all the time. Amazing worker. The best. The best worker.
  
• There was a gorepack in the Santa's Slay DLC that had the wrong name. Well. Blah blah blah. Now it has the right name.
  
• The Lawn Mower Gorepack (Party's Over) Was not loading. Im sure this angered Peter Jackson greatly, so we fixed it. It is now fixed. You're welcome, Peter Jackson.

Still working through a couple more bug fixes but didn't want to hold these ones back too much longer so there we go! ːslayawayaxeː

Thanks All, Happy Slaying!

Happy Easter Everyone! We wanted to put out a small but special Easter update for you all! The Easter content is exclusive to the Steam version for now so enjoy the first access to some sweet easter treats!

•  Sweet new Easter Content! Use the Killer Kode "beaster" to unlock the Feaster Bunny on your killer shelf! Feaster Bunny comes with an all-new special killer kill: EASTER BUNNIED
  
  
•  Also included is a new purchase-able gorepack: DEATH BY CHOCOLATE & a killer bunny rabbit bonus kill!
  
  
•  Not only that, we've hidden a very special easter egg in one of the movie's deleted scenes section - drop a comment if you tracked it down! :)
  
  
•  All-new PG (Puzzle Game) Mode scrubs away every ounce of blood, gore, and general horror movie havoc to let squeamish players focus on solving the mind-melting puzzles in relative safety.
  
  
•  PG Mode unlocks the “Yo! Skullface! After School Special” bonus mini-game, which is really just the Faces of Killed mini-game, but features Skullface practicing his murderous technique on inanimate archery targets.
  
  
•  Updates to Movie Store tutorial to make the Mystery Box more obvious and the tutorial process a little more straightforward.
  
  
•  Improved timing and general well-being of animations when viewing Gorepacks from the Movie Store shelf.
  
  
•  Visual Soundwaves now emit from the phones to give a better idea of what tiles they affect when they ring.
  
  
•  When you turn the lights off, victims and cops get a skinny cloud of darkness around their heads, hopefully helping to illustrate the fact that they are SITTING DUCKS WAITING FOR YOUR MACHETE!!!!!
  
  
•  Disable the shop shelf from being accessible before the tutorial, just to avoid confusing new players.
  
  
•  Cleaned up Gore sliders a bit to avoid bugs and confusion. Single Gorosity slider should now increase blood, bones and gibs overall or reduce blood bones and gibs down to nothing (but still getting cutscenes). Can turn ALL the way to the left to switch to PG Mode.
  
  
•  Moved Gorosity Slider and Killer Kode button to the top area, so they are easier to track down for new users.
  
  
•  New “Movie Complete” Sound effect for more aural stimulations.
  
  
•  Improved font visibility across full game UI / Cutscenes.
  
  
•  A few additional optimizations and minor bug fixes.

ːskullfaceː Hey Killers!!

Some of you may have already noticed, but we've posted a very special new update for Slayaway Camp that introduces a tonne of new content to your camp puzzle-slaughter exploits.


We've made it now so that every time you unlock a new killer, you also unlock their super special kill animation. You can see their special animation while playing only with that killer, and it becomes part of the normal rotation while you use that killer. We've got some hilarious ones in there like the JIMSAW Killer 'Cornered' kill, the Derek Mears 'Unborned' kill, etc. We hope you dig these new kills!




As the winner of our #SkullfaceAndMe contest to become a special in-game killer, Youtuber 'Batprince' has been immortalized as one of the newest in-game killers. Batprince can come up in the mystery box so save up those skull coins for a chance to unlock him and his awesome 'POLITELY KILLED' gorepack!




In addition to these updates, we've made some other tweaks, bug fixes and other changes based on your awesome feedback. Here's a list of what was done:

• Update to shelf tutorial to make Mystery Box more obvious and the tutorial process a little more clear.
  
• Fixes to some textures that had become distorted
  
• Improved timing on animations when viewing gorepacks from the shelf
  
• Fixed issue with excessive beeping in menu scene when using a scroll wheel or track pad
  
• Additional minor bug fixes. Like the one where that level, the bad thing happens. We made it so it doesnt anymore.

If you notice anything that needs a tweak, don't hesitate to drop us a line either in the comments here, or via email: slayawaycamp@bluewizard.com

Also, don't forget to leave a Steam Review if you've been enjoying your experience. It's been almost 6 months on Steam and we're lucky enough to have a 100% positive rating as of writing this, which totally blows our minds. Thank you all so very much for your continued support! ːslayawayaxeː

Sincerely,

Skullface & The Slayaway Camp Team

PS. Almost forgot! For those who purchased the Deluxe Edition DLC (Soundtrack, papercrafts, etc) we have included a papercraft Batprince in the folder with the other papercrafts :) Enjoy!

Happy Valentine's Day! In celebration of our iOS launch, and because this is the most violentest holiday of the year, we have launched a brand new tape on the video shelves: MY GORY VALENTINE!

This movie was painstakingly shot in a small mining town in eastern Canada, and features a brand new killer: Major Miner. Illuminate those campers with your headlamp as you traverse the mines and rural neighbourhood puzzles of MY GORY VALENTINE.



The movie will unlock at 10am in whatever time zone you're in. Don't even think about cheating the system by changing your clock, either!!!

Happy Slaying everyone, and don't forget to check out Slayaway Camp on iOS -- live on the Apple App Store AS YOU READ THIS!!

Your Friend,

Skullface.
