Hello Mercenaries,

We're back with Gun Game this week for our Mod Friday event! This time our mod creator, TH_Mrow has made some more adjustments to make the mod even more chaotic (but you know in the most balanced way possible).

1. You and your team spawn in with a weapon and after your team accumulates 5 kills, you'll then all change your weapon to something new
   
2. There is a kickback though, die from a melee attack and your team points will revert back to zero
   
3. Goal of the game is to get to the last weapon to win the game - the golden sword. One swing of that thing and you'll be face down in the dirt.

Note the image above is the swap from the new weapon after an insta kill.

• Friday (Sept 2) event will run from 4pm EST until 5pm EST
  
• Join the server “Devs + Community Jam” to LEAP in!
  
• Everyone is welcome to try this mod out, be sure to HAVE FUN!

• A 2x Contract Bonus

If you can't make the event but want to watch the action we'll stream live on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/playleap


As some of you know we're looking to run a new event next week, coupled with a sale to start bringing in new players. We're looking for Content Creators who would like to help participate and bring more awareness to LEAP. We have a bunch of things planned that'll be announced next week, however, I'm starting to secure content creators now. Please send me a DM on our Discord (or email me: laura@blueislestudios.com ) if you'd like to participate and I'll give you a special @CCC role that'll give you access to our new Content Creator Corner.

Minor modification of the information popup concerning modification of server notifications

Hotfix

Hi everyone, V1.5.19 is a small interim update adding support for September's Frontier.

• Support for September Frontier
  
• Fixed random map generation occasionally putting a rock on top of surface deposits, causing it to disappear when a save game is loaded
  
• Added option to carry over or disregard Steam Workshop Id when saving a custom map from an already published map
  
• Fixed victory icons on custom map info panel

Back with more news soon!

Hey everyone,

This update should really help if you've been missing undo checkpoints in the final levels. I'm pretty happy with the game state now. Let me know what you think. Thanks everyone, sorry it took a week to sort out these issues.

-rob

• Undo checkpoints register even when a puck is stuck on a portal (e.g. levels 83, 84, 85, and 86) or stuck on a ratcheter (e.g. level 75) or stuck on a kicker (e.g. level 39)
  
• Keyboard hotkey defaults for reset changed to 'R' and undo changed to 'Z' to better align with PC conventions. These can be remapped in the options screen.
  
• Greatly reduced the lightning FX frequency. Lightning only plays to highlight a puck that goes off screen, when the game is at idle (> 3 mins), when toggling on the background FX in the options screen to better indicate the toggle functionality, and in the credits screen.
  
• Added a lightning glyph to the background FX toggle on the options screen for clarity.

THANK YOU CRESCENT COVE COMMUNITY!!!!

We are truly overwhelmed by your positive reception and support of Killer Klowns from Outer Space.

Who knew there were so many fans that shared our childhood love of criminally underrated horror films.Thank you for all the support, feedback, reviews and - most importantly - the trust that you’ve shown us as a team. We know you’ve got a lot of questions and we’ll get to that; first, we want to do some *light* bragging.

Ahem.

Reading your comments, watching the social media channel rocket upward and seeing the press loving this as much as we do has been…well there aren’t really words. You all have made this endeavor such a joy for us, and we want to make sure we return the favor ten-fold come launch. How much hooting and hollering have you all done? Have a look:





The console pages are now up and LIVE! Please wishlist them and here on Steam as well. This is the #1 way you can help the team here and to share your excitement about the announcement.


Now for those questions, a lot of you are asking how this whole craaaazy game came to be. We have a new blog out with the Chiodo Brothers, the film’s creators themselves, How does a film become a game? Read on LINK.
We have lots of blogs sharing more info about the game so check them out too while you’re there.



The question we’re getting a lot as well is about how multiplayer works on the consoles. KKFOS is coming to Steam, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One. Our game is a premium title, not free-to-play, and will require an active PS Plus or Xbox Live Gold subscription in order to play online – unless something changes on the first-party side before we release, of course.

Another question is about microtransactions. We will never be pay-to-win. You will never be able to get any gameplay advantage over other players with real money. What we will have is purely cosmetic items for visual customization of your characters. More details on the customization and progression later!

You’ll have lots of opportunities so ask and learn more in our Discord and on the Steam forums; and judging by your reactions, there will be a LOT of questions. Check out some of our favorites below from the announcement at Gamescom. Huge thanks to:

In the meantime, please follow our social channels below. We’re told we’re “making you all go ding dong mode.” So, carry on with that. We’ll see you on the internet

This new build adds icons above notable NPCs, and prompts the player to interact when close to any interactable character. It also adds a new easter egg.
