Jettatura - Kyoto Cybernetics
Serious fixes
- Fix crash that would sometimes happen when a 0-damage physical attack occurs

Derp
- Fix error log filenames having the wrong month

Regarding garbled 3D graphics a few players have reported
A small percentage of players report 3D graphics with garbled polygons on their GPU.

If you are reading this and this occurs on your hardware, you are encouraged to opt-in to the beta branch called 'amdtroubleshoot' using the Beta code theamdrx560bug, and from there run the game by adding the command line parameter called --opengl-display-lists under (Steam Library->Jettatura->Properties->General->LAUNCH OPTIONS), and please let me know if that alleviates the problem for you. One person has already reported this works, so after a few more affected users confirm just as such in the Bug Report thread, I will push this fix to the main build.

Pinball Deluxe: Reloaded - madeofbits
Table layout, rules and logic changes:
- [Brix] Slightly toned down the difficulty of the last few level
- [Jukebox] The Rhythm game will now award a 'Perfect' bonus if 95% of the max possible score is achieved instead of 100%. The reason for the change is that it was basically impossible to achieve before (4 players ever managed to do it before now)
- [Brix] Changed the target score for the High Score III achievement. Instead of 50M, it now ask for 40M. It previously had a completion rate of 0.01%

Other changes:
- Preventing the Mail screen from closing if it is waiting on the server to respond
- Fixed an issue that would allow a reward message to be closed while the game is waiting for the server to confirm, preventing the reward from being disbursed
- Removed the Lights Out play mode
- Fixed an issue that would make cloud save unreadable for some French and German players
- Removed the frame rate debugger which was causing trouble when mapping flipper keys to - or =
- [Fastball-Issue#1] Fixed an issue with the running lights
- [Fastball-Issue#1] Changed the batting cage Triple label from 300 to 500 to match the scoring value
- [Fastball] Fixed an issue where the ball coming out of the Hit ramp would collide improperly with a ball rolling right underneath
Unpacking - hummeline

We’ve been joking that Unpacking is built in a “secret third dimension” - this is what it looks like in-engine!

The ACMI museum in Melbourne has put up a display about Unpacking! It has original notes, sketches, and a crocheted version of the Pig plush that ZebracornCreations made for the team). If you get a chance to go to Melbourne, make sure to check it out, but if not, it’s definitely worth pursuing online!



The Sydney Morning Herald wrote a piece on kinder, cosier video games, and Unpacking is featured alongside other Australian games. It’s well worth a read, especially if you’re looking for new games to add to your queue.

Audio Director Jeff van Dyck was interviewed on the Sifter podcast, talking about using music to tell the story of Unpacking.

Wren joined GLITCH to read reviews of Unpacking, and we find out who feels strongly about soy sauce placement:

Hey everyone! Fresh on the heels of the French translation that came out with 1.0.3, we are pleased to announce that the Italian and Russian translations are now fully updated. We are also getting close to finishing the Chinese translation; it should be done within roughly one week.

Please restart your game client to download these. If you use Steam, Epic, etc. and run into any additional problems, try verifying your game files if possible.

We will continue making improvements and additions to the translations over time. For best viewing of the Russian and Chinese translations, we suggest using the "Montserrat" font in the Gameplay Settings.

As for the other languages, we know that the delay, and seeing other languages completed first, can be frustrating. Everyone associated with our localization efforts is working very hard, and we hope to have more languages completed in the coming weeks.

Unfortunately, the Turkish translation has hit a snag. It was a community-translated project, and recently very little progress has been made. We do not currently have an ETA on its completion. If you are fluent in Turkish and would like to contribute, please come on over to our Discord and let us know! https://discord.gg/K5hfSQXE
The Jean-Paul Software Screen Explosion - Jean-Paul Software
Here's Looking At You Kid - the new Hallowe'en screensaver is live. Early!

...because unfortunately there was a very large bug in the install script that meant that the app wouldn't have worked for anyone who installed it after the last update, so I'm pushing a fix for that now along with all the other code.

For anyone who has installed since about 1 month ago, and finds the screensaver isn't starting in Windows, please uninstall and reinstall the app, and it should work properly.

Major thanks to DivviSmalls for helping me to track this down! And I hope you enjoy your eyeballs!
