Hello, everyone!

Next week I'm launching a little arcade/puzzle game on Steam, which was approved and ready to release since forever (remember Steam GreenLight?). It's way different than what you'd expect from me after Iron Snout or Bacon May Die, but I feel like it might find its audience!

And it'll have Steam Trading Cards on launch, which I'm very excited about!

Get it on your wishlist now!

If you'd like to test it out before release, write me an email to snoutupgames@gmail.com and I will send a few keys out!

Cheers!

In this year it is planned to develop game to version 1.9.0, since the next step after it is release.
An additional type of trade will be introduced to 1.9.0 (to be precise, trade shuttles instead of trading rockets from the roadmap), I will also try to add several new cliffs with new shapes for the generator (+ the ability to change the map before starting the game without going to the menu) also some work is planned on optimizing and adjusting the overall balance.

And here is another list of changes:

• Added building - Grand Hotel
  
• Added building - wall salad farm
  
• Added building - wall vineyard
  
• Added building - market.
  
• The penalty for fish from underwater buildings is reduced.
  
• Statistics in the bank extended with "profit from markets" and "thefts"
  
• 20 grapes and 20 fruits were added to the starter stock of the Storage
  
• Buildings that are slower on the night shift now also consume less energy (more if the law on the night shift is passed)
  
• Opened achieves preview now available in the game achieves window.

This update for the story “Lorange Journey” made some changes to the “wait 30/60 seconds” scene.

1. You cannot skip during that scene, even if you had seen it once.
2. The text box is removed after the timer start.

Like this:



I also changed the position of the characters’ names. They are more to the left and the text box appears more “filled”.

Hello inmates,

Once again, we’d like to invite you to try a work-in-progress version of the upcoming Darwin Project content update. We’ve got some exciting new features coming in the November patch and you can try them out on Friday, November 9. The improvements in this patch aren’t final, but we’d still like your impressions on them in their current state.

Remember that you’ll be playing an early version, so everything is subject to change and you may experience small issues. More information below!

The main focus of the November patch is balance, so we’ll mainly be looking for your feedback on several gameplay adjustments. However, we’d also love your thoughts on:

• The Show Director Soundboard: A way for Show Directors to highlight key moments in the arena by playing various sound effects
  
• The Playground: A work-in-progress area where inmates can learn the basics and experiment with their equipment
  
• New Private Match options: Once you’ve gotten a feel for the other changes, start up a Private Match with friends to unleash a healthy dose of chaos!

The build contains more improvements than those listed above, and you’ll be able to share your thoughts about everything you noticed in the post-playtest survey.

The Technical Playtest will take place on Friday, November 9 from 2 PM EST (7 PM UTC) to 6 PM EST (11 PM UTC) on Steam.


1. Go to your Steam library
2. Right-click on Darwin Project and select Properties
3. Go to the Beta tab and enter the playtest code: playtest73429482
4. Click Check Code, then select Playtest from the drop-down menu
5. Restart Steam and launch Darwin Project

Important: Don’t forget to opt out of the Playtest branch once it is over! You can do this by going back to the Beta tab in the game’s Properties and selecting None from the drop-down menu.


Yes! Don’t forget to opt out of the Playtest when you are done playing before continuing to stream Darwin Project.


We’d love to hear your feedback about the November patch content! We will be posting the link to the post-playtest survey in the playtesting build as well as our social channels. Please take the time to fill it out and help us make this update the best it can be!


The next patch will be available on November 20, with patch notes published a few days earlier as usual.

We hope you’ll join us, and see you in the arena!

It has been a while since the last update, because we've been plugging away at making it a big one. Fog of War, Play Area control, Line Tool improvements, Additive Loading, VR Improvements, and much of it covered in our brand new Knowledge Base. Oh my!

We're also back at it with a new official DLC: Draco Magi!



https://store.steampowered.com/app/610696/Tabletop_Simulator__Draco_Magi/

• Draco Magi now available for $6.99 with a 20% launch discount.
  
• Includes the base game, as well as the expansion.
  
• Scripted setup to help you get into the game quickly.
  
• Select your seats and press one of the on-table buttons to begin.
  
• Read the Notebook for additional info.

• Found under the Zone tools, Fog of War acts similarly to a hidden zone, with the zone hiding objects that are within it.
  
• You can right click any object to enable "Reveal Fog Of War" in its Toggles menu. This object now reveals fog, instead of being hidden inside of it.
  
• Right clicking it again shows options for visibility range as well as what color objects are revealed for.
  
• The piece reveals area of the fog, which is represented by a black plane.
  
• Did we mention it can be accessed via scripting? See below.
  
• GM (black seat) players can see everything in the fog.
  
• Objects also have a "Ignore Fog of War" toggle, to disable the hiding effect on that piece.
  
• All "Boards" are unaffected by fog, and are still visible. You can set your Custom Models or AssetBundles to be "boards" if you want them visible as well.
  
• Read about other options and system details on the Zone Tools section of the new Knowledge Base.

Credit to B.I.O.S. for the table.

• Want the camera to move further from the table? Or not be able to? Play area lets you set that distance limit.
  
• Use this to make a small room that the player can't sneak out of.
  
• Use it to make even BIGGER setups.
  
• The setting can be modified under **Options** at the top of the screen, then under the **Game** settings.

• Your measurements with the line tool are now visible for all players!
  
• The line never covers the number.
  
• It is not blurry. What more could you ask for from a line?!

When in the Game menu, when clicking the 3 dots that appear in the upper right of a Game when you go to select it, you will see a new option: Additive Load.

• Clicking this option causes all of the game pieces from the save to be loaded into your CURRENT game.
  
• So all your current game objects remain where they were and the ones from the save you Additive Loaded from will appear as well.
  
• An ideal use for this is to save different dungeon/map setups, then load them into your current game after clearing space.

The new Knowledge Base.

• The old Knowledge Base was built to explain the many systems in Tabletop Simulator.
  
• A replacement for the old Knowledge Base, the new Knowledge Base has a fast, much more modern setup.
  
• It is patterned on the update API.
  
• There have been some additional documents created, updates to classics and more.
  
• It also allows you to submit improvements via GitHub.

• On-Screen Keyboard:
  
  • Turn on in Interface settings. Displays an on-screen keyboard - mainly for use in VR (makes searching a lot easier). Can be toggled in VR with button on right of screen.
• VR Settings UI:
  
  • You no longer need to use console commands to configure your VR experience.
    
  • Accessible through Interface settings, or in VR with button on right of screen.
    
  • Added setting to disable displaying network player VR peripherals; accessible in VR settings or via console command vr_display_network_players
    
  • Added settings for how selection works: either a box with a fixed height (as it has been), a box exactly as you draw it, or a box anchored to the table surface.
    
  • Long hover tooltips now wordwrap.
• System Console:
  
  • A number of commands are now persistent: you do not need to add them to your autoexec to set them at startup; instead they will remember their setting between sessions.
    
  • help will show which commands persist.
• New Commands:
  
  • reset
    
  • ui_config_vr
    
  • ui_keyboard_default_state
    
  • ui_keyboard_show
    
  • ui_keyboard_scale
    
  • ui_keyboard_echo_duration
    
  • vr_display_network_players
    
  • vr_mode_selection_style
    
  • vr_selection_style_anchored
    
  • vr_selection_style_exact
    
  • vr_selection_style_fixed

Not as much here as in some other patches. But we made sure you had access to some of the new toys.

• Added Physics.play_area
  
• Added object.setFogOfWarReveal(table)
  
• Added object.getFogOfWarReveal()
  
• Added object.ignore_fog_of_war
  
• Read more about these in the API.

• Peeking cards no longer causes their name/description to become available for all players to see for a few moments.
  
• Improvements to the console's color changing commands to prevent abuse.

Please download latest patch to fix an issue with bonus levels (Mac only). Thanks to our players reports for finding the bug.

5 years (at least!) in the making, it's finally happened. Our hand-drawn adventure game is here for you to enjoy.

If, for some strange reason, you haven't heard about the next Point & Click sensation (the name rhymes with "rock"), a revamped Demo and a new Release Trailer will help you get an idea... or so it may seem, as the game may still hold a few surprises for you.
