📢 July 20th (Tue) Update Notes
https://sl-us.floor.line.games/bbsCmn/detail/1626687081638006873

In this update, we fixed a bug in our camera and spruced up some environmental disturbances. We wish you pleasant games

Hey guys, happy Monday! I hope you all have killer weeks ahead of you.

This devlog comes a little late, as things have been hectic this past week. A lot of final checks and balances had to be completed before our beta went live on Friday - which was a lot of work. We've seen so many of you create amazing content from the beta so far and will be highlighting some of it later in the week - so keep busting out some crazy runs and submit your clips, screenshots and memes into the Discord!

Outside of everything in the beta, we've been creating ideas for a bunch of new in-game quests. During your runs, procedural quests will pop up around the map which can be completed, or not, at your choosing. The better (and sometimes quicker!) you complete these quests, the better your reward. From little stat bumps, to time-warping grenades or cat turrets that rain hell on the Murkors - these rewards can sometimes take your run to the next level!

We have a bunch of quests already in the game, with a bunch more on the way. Let's check 'em out.


Bathing suit robbery. The WORST kind of robbery.

In this event, the Murkors are rushing from the beach shacks to the teleporter to steal swimming costumes. How RUDE.


Can we get some more light in here?

This one is already in the game, but its great. When you learn how to do this one a couple of times, its an easy win for a 3 star completion to get that tasty tasty loot. Power up the generator and get some light back in!


This one is just....cool looking.

What could this one be? Even I don't know what this one is. How mysterious!!

If any of this looks exciting to you, sign up to be apart of our future playtests, join our community, and come and get stuck in the floor before we fix it.


We're loving all of the content we're seeing come out of the beta, so keep it coming, and we'll be checking in on it all this coming Friday in Devlog 4!!
Stay out the shade, legends.

We have received inquiries from our customers regarding controller compatibility.
Currently, the Steam ver. for SCARLET NEXUS is guaranteed to only work with the following controllers.
- Xbox Wireless Controller
- DualShock 4 Wireless Controller

If the button icons displayed in-game are different from those of your compatible controller, please try the following setting changes.

1) Access your Steam Library, right click on "SCARLET NEXUS" and select "Properties..."



2) In the "CONTROLLER" tab, use drop-down menu to change override settings to "Disable Steam Input".



Thank you for your continuous support.

This Week in RuneScape, you'll get a sneaky peek at The Nodon Front, the next stage of Elder God Wars. Meanwhile, things are getting Steam-y and, of course, we have the usual array of changes and fixes for you to peruse in the Patch Notes.

---

Did you miss the big reveal last Friday? We've got you covered - you can catch up on the trailer for the Nodon Front, the first battle of the Elder God Wars, right here. Enjoy!



Hungry for more info? Then make your way to the Community tab, where you'll find all the details of our Developer Diary, which goes live tomorrow (July 20th). You'll learn everything you need to know about the Nodon Front, straight from the J-Mods who brought it to life!

In the meanwhile, have a read through this post where we've gone over the basics. Notably, you'll need 92 Slayer before you even think about taking on the Nodon - so get training now!


Phew, what a mouthful that was. Here's the good news: Mac users will be able to play RuneScape on Steam from July 26th. Stay tuned for more information closer to the time.


Can you believe it's been over eight months since we launched on Steam? I think we're all due a nice cuppa. And by pure coincidence, that's actually the theme of our next round of DLC bundles!

Swing by the Steam page to get your hands on the Teatime DLC packs, which contain the Bistromancer Outfit and a fancy clockwork penguin pet named Brewster.

Here's what's in the packs:

• 1 Month of Membership
  
• Bistromancer's Staff
  
• 15 Treasure Hunter Keys

• 3 Months of Membership
  
• Bistromancer's Outfit
  
• 50 Treasure Hunter Keys
  
• RuneScape: The Orchestral Collection

• 12 Months of Membership
  
• Bistromancer's Staff
  
• Bistromancer's Outfit
  
• Brewster Pet
  
• 100 Bank Spaces
  
• 2 Cosmetic Tokens
  
• 75 Treasure Hunter Keys
  
• Extra Daily Treasure Hunter Keys
  
• RuneScape: The Orchestral Collection

The current round of DLC packages will be replaced by the Teatime collection on July 26th - although you'll still be able to purchase certain items using Premier Club Reward Tokens. We'll be adding the Teatime cosmetics to the list of available items in short order.


On July 20th (that's tomorrow!) the Prime Gaming rewards will be switched up for the summer! You'll be able to redeem not one, but TWO great drops: 7 Days of RuneScape Membership and Clink, the crab pet, plus an Umbral Chest.

To redeem both drops, just link your RuneScape and Prime Gaming accounts, and get ready to claim them when they go live tomorrow! You'll have until August 24th to get your hands on 'em.
