We are huge fans of the 80s shows aesthetics. That’s why we decided to have fun and put some of the most iconic vehicles known from those shows into our game.



Sun, ocean, beautiful women and fast cars. Put on your best suit and drive into the sunset in this sports car.



Your name is not Michael but you can still drive his car. Maybe it can’t talk nor give clever comebacks but it’s still a great way to look awesome driving in the middle of the night.

What are your favorite 80s shows?

Hello, good boys and girls!

• Poultry Protection bug fixed, correct status effect now applied.
  
• If a Mysterious Egg dropped for you, but you didn't turn it in -- or it broke or vanished or rolled off to some other game whatever -- another one will drop for you when you kill a boss or champion.
  
• Eggs are no longer considered when melting down stuff at the blacksmith or auto-selling piles of loot.
  
• If you press escape when the Feed Bird dialog is open you are no longer damned to crash.
  
• The inventory remembers what tab was open when you last had it open. That only took seven years.
  
• Using your Battlebird Whistle to summon a pet will display the pet's name in the log.

• Fix for Shield Rush crash, sorry about that one!

Dear subscribers! Once again, the latest issue of the post-apocalyptic CRONUS Weekly is on your screens. Can anyone hear us?

Today we're sharing news about the voice-overs and screenshots of the new locations we've been polishing for months. You'll definitely visit them in September, and hopefully remember them for a long time.




Right now we are working hard on the game's voice-over and can already feel how much the atmosphere of the wasteland under the Dome has changed. Even if you have played through all the content of the fifth patch multiple times, the full game will be an absolutely new experience, we guarantee.




Many players have already had time to explore the abandoned camp and unravel some of its secrets. But in the full release version of Encased it will appear in a completely new light, literally. We redesigned the lighting, placement of enemies, plants, secrets, stones, and even changed the landscape.




The streets of the city of New Committee are surprisingly cozy. But is it also nice and safe here at night? If you’re brave enough, check it out for yourself!

Just open the game - there's a link right in the main menu.

Good luck everyone!

Bryan - This week I’ve been vigorously testing our challenge modes to figure out what sort of high scores are achievable and how to rank their difficulties. Some of the challenges involve some really crazy setups that players wouldn’t normally encounter during the campaign. This gives plenty of opportunities for more playability even after the main game has been completed. Here’s a screenshot of one of the more hectic challenges. There’s a lot going on here!




Lauren - This week has been super exciting because I got to mention on social media that we've finished a lot of the animations for the full game! I did show off some cheeky animations on Tiktok and our Instagram, and I've got a few videos already queued for next week! Bring on the fun! 🎉


Ian - Had all of my family visiting this week, so I didn't quite get as much done as I normally do. The time I was able to work was spent on a mixture of wrapping up challenge mode progression, fixing random bugs, and organizing some non game dev stuff to make sure we have a super productive July!
Here is a little gif of a bug I fixed.




Lots of exciting internal stuff going on we can't talk about yet, but you will be hearing some pretty cool stuff soon!

Bug fixes:

• After the last patch I've been getting scattered reports of a softlock that can occur when hatching dogs. This has something to do with spawning in ghosts at very particular timings and I'm still looking into the original error that causes it, but I found an issue with the dog spawning system that causes softlocks 100% of the time if any error gets thrown at a certain point. This patch fixes that specific issue, which should stop this particular softlock from happening and will make this system more robust going forward.

Also, as of this build the Unity splash screen has been removed :o

The new update of Scaper Dash brought with it not a lot of different content, namely:
- New music at the beginning and at the end of the game;
- New background at the beginning and at the end of the game;
-A new font added only to level 1, at the beginning and at the end of the game (please write how you like this font);
- Changed level 13 and 14;
- Fixed some bugs and bugs that could interfere with the gameplay;
- Announcement of new levels;
-Some other changes;
- And... Above all... a blank for the plot!

Well, in general, this update did not bring a lot of diverse content to the game, rather it is a bug fix mixed with some changes. In general, write to us how you like the update, as well as offer us your ideas, and perhaps they will be able to get into the game itself.
