Well long time no see, but we are back with another update. This one has some major changes so pay close attention!
Alright, this one is a big one and contains a lot of information so pay attention. You wanted more metabolism and we are here to deliver. Contamination and infections are now active and a real threat to prisoners.
Let's take it slow. What are infections? Well, it's an invasion and growth of germs/microbes in the body. And the most common way to get it is on unclean and non-sanitized open wounds. So let's talk about that.
From now on when you get a bleeding wound, depending on the clothes you have on, if any, and their cleanliness your wounds can now get Contaminated. The levels of contamination are as follows.
No clothes: 0%
Completely clean Clothes: 50%
Completely dirty clothes: 100%
So the level of contamination from clothing varies on how clean/dirty they are.
No clothes, since nothing is contaminating the clothes there is no contamination part on the toolbar.
Putting a clean clothing item rises the wound contamination to around 50%.
Putting dirty clothing item on rises the contamination level to around 100%
If you have a wound on your legs and you pissed your pants the contamination will rise to 75%, so despite what your grandparents told you it is not a good idea to piss on an open wound.
Alright, we have that covered but you might be wondering: Ok but there is a lot of information on this tooltip right now, what does it mean? Worry not friends I will explain it all right away.
First off we have the Contamination bar. This is a useful bar that will automatically show you the progress of your contamination level and its rising or falling rate.
Next up we have External Pathogens and Wound germs. These are the bacteria that are entering your body and can lead to infections. External pathogens are all the bacteria that come from outside sources, like explained dirty clothes or dirty bandages, which we will touch upon in a bit. Wound germs can manifest inside of the wound if enough External pathogens are introduced to it. The total contamination rising level is the 2 of them added up.
Now we have your Immune system. The Immune system is the ability of your own body to combat outside bacteria with its own defensive mechanism. The strength of your Immune system depends on your Constitution stat. The Immune system can be boosted with antibiotics again more on that down below.
So how do you combat Contamination? Well by disinfecting the wound and or using the right bandages. Medical items are all disinfected. Rags have the same Contamination level as clothing. Clean rags are 50%, dirty ones 100%. But we added another rag type available to craft: aseptic rag. All you need is a clean rag and some isopropyl alcohol. Then just select the rag and you can disinfect it.
You can also apply the alcohol, or absinthe also works in these cases, directly on your wound to disinfect it, but be careful tho. On open surfaces, the alcohol starts to evaporate after a while so you will have to maintain the cleanliness of the wound. You can do that by removing bandages and adding new ones or cleaning the wound again. That is right you can now remove the bandage when you patch up a wound. It's pretty useful when you have a dirty rag to patch up immediately and want to switch out to a clean one when safe to avoid infection.
Bandaged up wounds have a little white arrow on them which you can click and choose to remove the bandage that way.
Ok so we have that covered, now what happens if you have no choice and need to stop bleeding with a dirty bandage or have a bigger wound or maybe multiple, so more bacteria go in and your contamination level reaches 100%. Then an infection manifests. There are 3 stages of the infection.
Depending on which stage the infection is in it will influence your statistics and proficiency for as long as it is active, and will slowly deal damage over time. Once your infection rate fills up stage 3 you will manifest Sepsis in your body.
Note: Your bleeding wound will not exit the recovery state for as long as the infection regarding that wound is still active.
Sepsis is a dangerous state where your infection has already spread so much that your body will start attacking itself. If all of the wounds and infections are left untreated Sepsis will lead to death and will highly impact the performance of your character.
Remember how you can boost your immune system by using antibiotics? This is how you combat infections and sepsis. By taking an antibiotic you can boost your immune system and help it destroy the bacteria that is the source of the infection and help your body close the wound up after it is all gone.
Keep in mind that in case of multiple infected wounds your immune system will need to adjust on all of them accordingly to the severity of those wounds.
Once all of the infections are clear, the sepsis will clear as well and that will get you good to go.
Oh, and there is another thing here. Puppets now cause Wound germs on their hits with their dirty dirty nails so be careful!
We have another NPC trader for you all: the Doctor.
The Doctor sells all kinds of medical items and utilities, after all, health is important but not free in a survival scenario.
Another nifty feature is the new BB door remote. You can place these on any lvl 3 and above BB doors.
The feature contains 2 items, the remote key and remote sensor. Before you can start using it you will need to pair the key to the system in your inventory.
You can pair up to 10 keys to one sensor. But be careful once paired anyone can use it, even the enemy.
Once paired you have a new slot where you can place the sensor.
And then you can either put it in a quick access slot or use it in inventory to open/close doors!
We also have a new weapon for you all, the DT-11B sawed off.

The Shiny Shoe team is so excited to announce our latest game, Inkbound! An online co-op roguelike with a unique active battle system that builds off what you know and love about Monster Train.
Inkbound is set in a world where stories come to life. Take direct control of a powerful Binder, party up with friends or strangers, and go on procedurally generated runs with dense, interesting decisions.
Inkbound shares design DNA with Monster Train like drafting and upgrading abilities and combines it with the social community feel of an MMO. Like Monster Train, you select two classes for their character at a time, allowing for a wide range of strategic possibilities by exploring the game mechanics of all class combinations.
Inkbound is a living game. That means seasonal content, monthly quests, and daily challenges. No two runs and no two days will be the same in Inkbound.
Inkbound is coming to Steam in 2023. Wishlist here:
Crusader: Dungeon Series Playtest - BlkDragon_29thACR
Minor Update: Updated Damage dealt as requested by several players. Added Random monster spawns to increase the difficulty because the Damage has increased. Added Option (during game play) to the Options menu to adjust the lighting (some reported the dungeon was too dark). Added more lighting in the darker areas.
I realize how bad this looks, but I need to delay Content Patch #15 yet again. I estimate that the patch only needs a few more days of development, but I've come to not trust my judgement of how long this kind of update will take.
Since the in-game update timer is effectively inaccurate, I've decided to remove it for the time being. I would like to add it back to the game once I'm 100% certain how much development time is still needed on a Content Patch.
Content Patch #15 will still release on a Friday at 1 PM EST. I will announce which Friday that'll be once I'm fully confident I know how much dev time is left.
Thank you very much for your understanding and patience,
-Dan
Changes
Temporarily removed in-game timer (it will be re-added once I'm 100% certain how much development time is needed on a Content Patch)
It's June! Summer is here (for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere). And that means... staying inside in the AC working on your game. Man, it is hot out there. And we have new releases to carry you through! This week we have a new all in one retro style graphics pack and a plugin for enhancing your game with particle effects.
There are many retro packs out there, but their biggest flaw is that most of them cover just a small portion of the graphics you need for a game, such as the battlers or maybe the tiles. The 8bit Retro Graphic Materials All-in-One Pack stands out, as it is REALLY an all in one pack!
It doesn't just include all the tiles to make an extensive fantasy game from the deepest dungeon to the highest tower and even a matching world map, no! There is an extensive collection of heroes and NPCs - human, animal and monster! And not only do all of them come with a matching face graphic, but all the heroes have SV battlers and there are even unique battle weapons to go with this new style!
And if you'd rather use a front view system, each actor also comes with a unique battler for that style as well, as well as basically everything you could want to battle in such a setting, such as sandworms, trolls and skeletons, just to name a few. And if you now think, wow, that is a really well rounded set, there is even more: with 93 different animation sheets you can create the matching animation for basically every spell or attack you might need, plus it includes everything you need for your UI: buttons, icons, balloons and the windowskin have all been taken care of. There are even battlebacks and a wide selection of premade title screens and overlays you can combine with them!
If you ever wanted to make a game that just looks and feels like the JRPGs you played on your handheld many many years ago, you don’t have to look any further: all you need is this and you are set!
Does your fire dungeon need some flickers of sparks floating in the air and smoke rising from pillars of flames? Do your rivers and ponds need ripples as raindrops hit them while your heroes run to get out of the storm? Do your heroes need to kick up some cartoony clouds of dirt while they run? Then it’s time to check out Particle System Plugin - TRP Particle MZ! Thirop Games. is here with a set of plugins to help your particle dreams come true!
With a wide selection of preset particles to choose from, you can easily add some impressive effects to your maps. Have your campfires send smoke into the sky while fireflies lazily float around the edges of your camp, or turn up the heat in a volcano with angry red magma highlights and raging fires spewing out of cracks in the ground. When your heroes explore the icy tundra make sure that there are snowflakes falling on them, or make the empty plains dangerous to cross because of a cascade of lightning bolts raining from the clouds! You can even send your heroes to the bottom of the sea (in a protective air bubble of course) where the entire map ripples and shadows of fish swim overhead.
Beyond the presets, this pack also includes an edit function to help you tweak your particles to perfectly fit your map. No need to adjust a number in an event and then playtest to see it in action, this edit function lets you do it all while the game is running so you can see all the changes as you make them! This barely scratches the surface of this particle system, so if you’ve ever wanted to add some extra sparkles to your game check out Particle System Plugin - TRP Particle MZ today!
