Hi everyone, I'm still working on Update 2, but in the meantime here are just a couple small fixes to issues brought up by members of the Discord (thanks!)

It turns out the Glubbgill was bugged and had no way of ever spawning, which is now fixed for those of you trying to complete your fish collection.

- Fish fixes: Fix glubbgill erroneously spawning as a dravenscale, making them uncatchable
- HUD fix: Options for hiding the speed/sail trim UIs are working again

Also, here is a little peek at something I've been working on in Update 2 land:

Contractors Assemble - The Showdown is Here

Watch the official teaser:


Dear operators,

We are honored to announce our new title, Contractors Showdown.

Contractors Showdown is a competitive PVP shooter game set in the Contractors universe.

To seize the ground control private corporations dispatch specialized operators to uncover the groundbreaking secret by any means necessary. A large number of anonymous operators hired by large corporations, equipped with advanced equipment, have been deployed to the desolate island that was previously classified. Dropped onto treacherous land, operators have transformed the abandoned base into an arena.
Explore the uninhabited, rugged land that has remained ungoverned for decades. Survive, loot, upgrade, engage, and use your tactics against relentless enemies and dangers on the desolate island. Enter the combat solo or engage with allies to fight against all odds as a team.
Survival requires teamwork, adaptability, and skill to dominate. Experience the dynamic battlefield and intense firefights. There are NO RULES beyond victory on this lawless island.



Here we have highlighted some of the features that you may have in mind! This FAQ may change in the future as development continues.

Q: What platforms will the game launch on?
A: We plan to bring the game to multiple platforms just as Contractors did. Since the game is still in development, we'll keep all our players informed of the latest progress.

Q: What distinguishes Contractors Showdown from Contractors?
A: Contractors Showdown features the fastest, most intense, and most tactical experience since our previous game, to lead an exhilarating fight across the dynamic battlefield and rugged terrain with boundless gameplay. In creating the advanced battle-royale experience, we created a 4km x 4km large map and added massive new features such as tactical PDA, call-in support, weapon customization, gear upgrades, damage indicators, etc. Furthermore, some long-requested features such as progression, matchmaking, and daily quests, will also be included. Our goal is to create an even more thrilling and engaging experience than what everyone experienced in Contractors!

Q: Will Contractors Showdown allow mods?
A: No at the first time of its release. Adding mods to Contractors Showdown is a complex task. We will listen to the modders and collect as many opinions as we can, and decide if the mod will be added after we have finished and released the base game.

Q: Does Contractors Showdown support crossplay?
A: Yes. Crossplay is a feature that we always prioritize.

Q: What's the future of Contractors?
A: We will continuously update Contractors to version 1.0 as promised. We understand that everyone may feel worried about Contractors. As previously mentioned in the above question, we have refined many of the shabby mechanics from Contractors, and added many new features for Contractors Showdown, some of these can be integrated into Contractors in future updates as well. A new quality-of-life patch will be released in July to address some of the glitches and optimize some features. Check out our sitrep to learn more: https://www.contractorsvr.com/single-post/june-14th-2023-situation-report


Q: When and where can we expect more info from the Contractors Showdown?
A: You can always check out more info on our official website, Discord, and social media! From now on, we will release artwork and videos every month on our official website, Twitter, TikTok, and Discord channel to keep you updated!

Q: When is the release date for Contractors Showdown?
A: The Contractors Showdown will be released in 2024. The exact date is TBD.

We believe you have plenty of questions in your mind! This FAQ will be updated from time to time as the development process goes on. Be sure to come back to our Discord server and social media to stay tuned! And please let us know your thoughts through Discord or on our official website!

Thank you for playing PSO2 New Genesis!

Well, radio silence is temporarily over and it is high time we told you something.

Firstly, a test build of the new winter episode is ready and has been incorporated in the game.

The build features the following:
1.New sprites of the main character and NPC (from remaining source-codes)
2. New mechanics (beat ‘em up, stash)
3. Cool episode background
4. jokes and gags

Just download the update and check it out.
Saves are working, how could it be otherwise?

Secondly, we would like to compliment everybody who shared our call for help. It was thanks to you that more that 10 people joined our team. Among them are artists, programmers and simply fun guys, eyes ablaze with enthusiasm. Due to the present circumstances, we must pause, albeit, involuntarily, the development of Wicked Games. This doesn’t mean our brain child has been dumped or back-burnered. We will definitely come back when we have enough drive and opportunities.

Sibcat Team isn’t quitting game development – quite the opposite. With the advent of fresh and boiling blood our renewed team has taken up working on a brand-new project in the same universe.

All this time hasn’t been wasted: we have come up with conception, organized working relations, determined the plot, visuals and gameplay features.
A part of material is ready, now we’re writing the script, have launched recoding. Also, we are drawing sketches of new locations and characters.

Yes, you got us right – we are deliberately avoiding being specific and waffling; suspense is ought to have presence, after all. But there is a concrete purpose for that.
Stay tuned, brothers and sisters, for announcement of a new, with whole peanuts and chocolate, game, is approaching.

You see, even pretentious pathos is here.

Follow our Discord channel to stay in touch.

We embrace you all and thank you for your support.

In this game, you play the role of an experienced gamer who decides to test the strength of games. Some of these games are hidden under the guise of simple and accessible, but in fact they are full of secrets and mysteries that you need to uncover. You will outsmart them and solve puzzles to gain access to the deepest secrets. But the path to success will not be easy - the game developer will try to hinder your progress and leave you in a dead end. You need to use all your skills and knowledge to get around him and win. Move from one game to another, and use the knowledge gained to advance further. Hack game worlds, break the rules and act strange to complete these games and finally solve the last secret. What does the developer hide in his games?

You must be able to act quickly and make plans to bypass all obstacles and reach the end of the game.
The graphics in the game are bright and colorful, which helps to create the atmosphere of the game world, but this is not for long. What follows is an increasingly tense and gloomy atmosphere in many of the developer's games.

The goal of the game is to reveal all the secrets of the games and reach the end. The player must be faster and smarter than the developer in order to win and discover all the secrets.
