Hello again, survivors.

As you may know, the team recently compiled a list of feedback from the community Discord and put them up to a vote as to which issues are most pressing. Today is the day that we release these changes into the Project Winter wild. We think that many of you will enjoy our most recent update.

As always, we are still listening! We encourage everyone to leave feedback at-will in our community Discord in the #suggestions channel. We will certainly do more feedback round-ups in the future as we strive to make the changes you want to see.


In other news, we’ve done our best to even out proximity chat to ensure that players hear each other more consistently while in-range, made some more balance changes, and added a new custom lobby option. Of course, we’ve also scrubbed out a few bugs that were brought to light by the players.

• Custom games can now specify the min and max counts for each type of role in the base game in addition to the min and max traitor counts
  
• Custom games settings button in lobby will display an exclamation badge until the next it is pressed if the custom game settings have been updated by the host
  
• Adjusted positioning and volume scaling of player proximity voice range. The radius for another player to be heard at max volume has been reduced by 75%, while the scaling is now more gradual so players will be more noticeably quiet at a distance. The positioning has also been adjusted so that players further south will no longer be easier to hear at a distance than players to the north.
  
• Backpacks can now be looted from player corpses
  
• Added timeline event to indicate which player initiated the escape vehicle leave sequence
  
• Added new bonus objective for visiting multiple flag points during a match
  
• Tranquilizer gun can now slow animals in addition to players

• Increased points earned for most survivor repair actions (contributing repair parts, digging up items, delivering batteries and opening cipher bunkers)
  
• Increased threshold for ”survive and take less than X damage from players” bonus objective from 600 to 1000 damage
  
• Increased reward for “survive and take less than X damage from players”, “survive without dealing damage with ranged weapons or explosives” and “survive without dealing damage with tools” bonus objectives from 400 to 500 survivor points
  
• Reduced tranquilizer gun ammo count from 5 to 3, reduced damage to 0, increased aiming speed by 100%, increased tranquilized effect duration to 20 seconds and increased slow from 50% to 60% of based speed
  
• Increased pieces of information revealed for Detective on investigation screen from 3 to 5
  
• Reduced traitor credits cost for cabin radio sabotage from 10 to 5
  
• Proximity traitor credits meter will now begin to drain after being out of range of survivors for several seconds rather than immediately emptying

• Fixed issue where animals could occasionally move at much higher speeds than normal if the host of a lobby disconnects mid-game
  
• Fixed issue where players muted in a lobby would sometimes not remain muted after loading into a match or after leaving and rejoining the lobby
  
• Fixed issue where melee weapons could sometimes not be equipped after being looted from a player corpse
  
• Fixed issue where minimap could remain visible after solar flare event teleport if player enters cabin just prior to teleport occurring
  
• Fixed neutral role players awarding “survivors stopped” points if the game ends while they are still alive
  
• Fixed custom game settings button in lobby not adjusting position after clicking on another player in the lobby and seeing the player options dropdown
  
• Fixed error message that could appear after cancelling out of the custom game settings screen from the host game popup and then reopening it
  
• Fixed various issues with controller navigation
  
• Fixed several issues where player could clip into or get stuck in environment objects
  
• Fixed apply and revert buttons being visible on custom game settings screen when pressed from within a lobby while not the host of the lobby
  
• Fixed cases where damage to animals may not be reflected correctly if the host has disconnected
  
• Fixed issues with ordering of certain popups on main menu
  
• Fixed player count in lobby sometimes not reflecting the correct number of players
  
• Fixed traitor credits indicator remaining visible for dead traitors cloned into survivors
  
• Fixed issue where items on breakable bridges would sometimes not fall after bridge was sabotage
  
• Fixed particle effects on items being briefly visible where the item was previously positioned if it was dropped in one location, picked up and then equipped in a different one
  
• [Blackout] Fixed issue where Whisperer converts would not correctly join the red radio channel if they were converted while already holding a radio and later dropped it

Remember, no matter how tempted you may be, you won’t be able to fit the entire lobby into one outhouse.

Stay tuned for more updates in the future.

Greetings again, survivors!

We're back with another feedback roundup. Considering recent requests in our suggestions channels, we have rounded up some of the most voted suggestions and posted them as stickied comments in this Reddit thread. You can vote on which we should implement next by upvoting those comments, or you can post new suggestions as your own comment in this thread.

We're looking for feedback on which points of interest we should address next. Feel free to discuss using replies for each or any suggestion. These would be balance changes, bug fixes, and existing feature tweaks, no real brand new features.

NOTE: Many of the suggestions left in the suggestion channels are considered, but this process is to find the most popular requests based on the community's thoughts and not our own.

We'll leave this thread open for the week, and tally the results next Monday (Aug 24).

Make sure to get your thoughts in now! This round of feedback will be considered for our next batch of updates.

We've heard your concerns, and we've been slaving over spreadsheets to bring you a highly requested change to our points systems.

We've altered point gains to better reflect the contributions of a player during their match, including types of escape, objectives, and new categories as well. Likewise, we've buffed a few aspects of the Traitor role as well.

As always, we want to thank any players who posted their feedback and suggestions to our official discord. We've been doing our best to funnel your feedback into our development timeline, and we hope we've addressed some of the more recent concerns.

August 12th, 2020 Update

Stay tuned for more regularly scheduled updates, and thanks for your continued support.

Beware, survivors. This body is still warm... There's a killer about. It appears the weapon of choice was a pickaxe.

Grab your thinking caps and fanciest pipes; this newest role should add some more depth to your survival strategies. Welcome the newest role: The Detective!

Players can now examine player corpses to reveal details about their death. For most players, these details will be hidden. For the Detective, however, three of the seven available details will be revealed. Use this to investigate and deduce information about the killer on the loose!

• Bonus objectives overhaul: all objectives for survivors and traitors are now chosen from a generic pool of approximately 30 objectives, with no class-specific limitations. Various existing objectives have been removed and replaced with more neutral and gameplay-focused objectives. The Yeti will now choose from a subset of these objectives, and will no longer have the chance to share the same objective as another player.

• Mechanics for red radios updated: red radios are no longer a physical item, instead being usable by traitors while they are not carrying a blue or yellow radio. When a radio item is added to the radio slot, the traitor will be disconnected from the red radio channel and join the new colour channel instead, and vice-versa when the radio item is removed.

• Fixed various cosmetic clipping issues

Of course, we've been trying to fix some things under the hood including some visual issues and some other bugs that have appeared.

Summer is finally here! We all know what that means; the summer sale has begun! Project Winter will be on sale starting today and ending on the 9th of July. You can save 33% if you purchase now!

Meanwhile, we're grilling up some summer content for you. Our summer event will be starting soon, so stay tuned for more news!

We decided it was time for some additions to the survivors’ arsenal. Our latest update comes with a “new bag of tricks” to play with. This brand new set of items can be found like others, and offer a variety of tactics to survivors and traitors alike. Experiment with them and expand your playstyle!

As usual, we’ve taken your feedback into consideration and made a few notable balance changes that we hope will make each game feel a bit better.

In other news, we’ve integrated Discord with our lobby system! Players can now post invites to their game lobbies as a Discord message through the app or overlay. Likewise, the engineering team has been hard at work fixing up issues, some of which were found and reported by you. We thank you for your continued support as we iron out the wrinkles.

There are no criteria for submitted videos. They can be funny, action-packed, clever, or all-around supportive of the Project Winter spirit! Choose your clip wisely, as your peers will be choosing by their own accord!

An additional three prizes will be given out as a developers' choice award! Our team will choose another 3 submitted clips as our favorites, and award those players with their own 500 artifacts. Winning clips are still eligible for the developers' choice award! If you submit something really special, you could walk away with a total 1000 artifacts!

Have fun, and get clipping!
