Hey Crab Fans,

We've got under 5 months left of 2023, and we've managed to shove a bunch of cool stuff in before the year ends!


We've got a couple of In-Person events coming up where you'll be able to experience the demo for Another Crabs Treasure LIVE:

August 23-27



Xbox let us feature in their Gamescom booth! You'll be able to find us in BLOCK C at the ID@Xbox Booth alongside some other amazing Indie Games. Let us know if you cry when you play it (tears of joy or pain is fine).

More info here

September 1-4


Aggro Crabs FIRST PAX Booth! Not only will we have the demo set up, the Aggro Crab team will be there too!! - Come find us at booth 850!!!

PAX Booth Info Page here


Here's a look at some exclusive pins we'll have. (PAX WEST EXCLUSIVE)

October 15-22


If you happen to be based in Australia, we've also been invited to SXSW Sydney this year. You get the idea now, there'll be a chance to try out the demo.

"But I can't make any of these events :(((((" Well you're lucky this time because...

The SNF Demo will be different to the In-Person event Demo, so let us know which you prefer if you end up playing both!



This demo will be based in an area we call The Grove. Interact with Characters, Explore the trash ridden village, and get ready to fight some Aggressive Creatures.


The team has been working hard on making the game look CRISP and WET and FILLED WITH TRASH do not worry.

Take a look at a before and after pic of the same environment.




We're happy to share that we're approaching content complete for Another Crab's Treasure. (Yes the game is still coming out early 2024). We're really proud of how the game has come together, and we're excited for you to finally experience it in the next coming months <3

Coming in the Customer Overhaul update, will be a complete save/load system overhaul!

This new overhaul will decrease saving and loading times from minutes, to mere seconds! However, this does mean that saves before 0.2.0 will no longer work.

We're hoping that this will be the last time we'll have to overhaul the save system, so that we won't run into this issue again!

We hope that you're all as excited for this update as we are!
Thank you all for reading/watching, and keep an eye out for more information about the Customer Overhaul update on Monday!!

0.10.6 Release Notes:

* Added new Drum Machine which lets you play and program drum sequences to add to your mixes. This is an early version with more improvements planned!

* Added the 5 Day DJ Challenge, a free lesson pack that will take you from nothing to performing your first complete mix over five sets of lessons.

* New "quantize jump immediately" Equipment setting will make quantized hot cues trigger immediately with an offset to stay on beat, instead of waiting for the beat to jump to the hot cue.
* New "Hide grab spheres" Input setting optionally hides the blue spheres on your hands, if you're comfortable grabbing controls without them and prefer a cleaner look.

* Misc bug fixes

Things are done a little differently down under, so you won't want to miss this!

If you have ever been unsure about wanting to watch or play competitive TF2 in OCE, then witnessing the head-to-head matchup of the two best highlander teams in the region should be all the convincing you need!

Catch it live Thursday, August 24th, at 8PM AEST / 3AM PDT / 12PM CEST on KritzKast's Twitch channel!

• Attempted to fix a bug where the level up screen would sometimes note work when using a controller or for some steam deck users.
  
• Updated the game over screen to show the run stats
  
• Update the art of the game over screen
  
• Removed XP calculation text as it was just messy
  
• Increased the speed the XP bar increased
  
• Adjusted other game over UI elements to fit better
  
• Lost Diadem of the Queen Added +2 to player pierce
  
• Ancient Hawacha Rocket Added +2 to range
  
• Updated my logo on the main splash screen to be higher resolution
  
• Update the art on the main menu screen
  
• Removed “Early Access” text from main menu screen
  
• Removed the early access developer note from main menu screen
  
• Disabled stat tracking as it was useless, and as such removed the data tracking opt in message
  
• Removed the tutorial and controller screens from ever appearing, but you can still access these from the pause menu.
  
• On a players first run they will jump right into playing as the Joker, them on their next run they will see the run settings and character select screen. The goal was just to streamline the process and get the player playing sooner.

Hello everyone, Vladirien here!

I'm thrilled to unveil the most recent Frontline Survivors update, and it brings something exciting to the table: Perks!



With this new addition, you'll have the freedom to pick two Perks from a wide array of options. Each Perk bestows a distinct advantage for your upcoming runs. The best part? You can mix and match these Perks to tailor your gameplay to your own unique style!

Want to specialize in electric mayhem? Grab the "Energized" Perk. Or perhaps you're in the mood to assemble a formidable army with the "Stylish" Perk.

Dive into the action on the Frontline and let the fun begin!

Build is live and released, testers are now able to download and play.

Notes:

• Added developer notice webpage built into MORTARSTATION (We're still working on the name)
  
• Fixed up sprinting transitions into and out of slide
  
• Fixed recoil for listen server
  
• Fixed sector neutralizing, originally would fully neutralize no matter what

Phew, that was a long list, more updates are on the way until next playtest coming up.
