We're excited to bring you a range of Quality of Life (QoL) improvements based on user feedback and more:

1. Zooming in and out is now easier than ever! Use your mouse scroll to adjust your view. Ever wanted to gaze into the eyes of the Reaper? Well, now's your chance!
   
2. Customize the UI to your liking with our new UI scaling feature. We've also increased the base size of certain UI elements.
   
3. Corpse explosions now scale dynamically according to unit size. Larger units will create explosions with a broader area of effect (damage stays the same).
   
4. Dragons will descend to the ground if they meet their end while in flight.

We will now work on the demo balance. There are just too many bats.

Hop on on our Discord. We'll appreciate all the feedback!

Hey everyone, Dion here. We had a crazy good launch so here's a big thank you from the team to you for playing our game. Looking at the numbers we can see people spend 10 to 12 hours on a comfortable playthrough, double that for a 100%. But we are also happy to see people going wild with mods to get even more out of the game.

In this first patch we focused on fixing mostly technical issues. Still, we managed to sneak a new app onto your flip phone: Micro Boy. I'll tell you right now it doesn't give you anything in the game, but you can't really have a flip phone without a good mini game on it in my opinion.



Other than that some ease of use of the game has been improved as well. Rest assured we plan to tackle the information shown on the map and pause menu among other things in an upcoming patch.

Additions

• Added Micro Boy mobile game to the flip phone apps
  
• Added a cypher spot to the Hideout
  
• Added Knxwledge - hwbouths to the Bomb Rush Cyberfunk Soundtrack
  
• Added album art to the Bomb Rush Cyberfunk Soundtrack

• Fixed getting REP for redoing a graffiti spot after another crew has gone over it again
  
• Fixed movestyle garages not working when playing as the FRANKS
  
• Fixed a graffiti spot on a high billboard in Brink Terminal that did not save

• Oldhead, Base and Jay show correct number of outfits in character select
  
• Players should no longer be able to fall out of the chapter 5 dream intro
  
• Map on phone should no longer show graffiti spots that are not yet available
  
• Fixed Rise’s second challenge activating before the first challenge is completed
  
• The game no longer halts execution when the game does not have focus
  
• Increased speed at which you can skip a cutscene
  
• Ensured player loads into the right scene after a crash during scene changes so that cutscenes and character/movestyles/phone app unlocks are not missed by any chance
  
• Shader change for certain VFX used by enemies including turrets that caused crashes for certain players on older hardware
  
• Fixed several memory leaks causing crashes

Here are all the new things I can remember off the top of my head...
- Added steam achievement support
- The game now pauses when you open the steam overlay (I think...)
- Balance changes
- Very slight length increase to final stage

(Note that all the "hidden" achievements are not obtainable secrets, but rather nonfunctional achievements I have yet to entirely implement)

The version number on the bottom right of the screen is now Ver.7.2201.2.

[[b]Match points & leaderboard has been reset with this update[/b]]

[[b]Sync Load system[/b]]
Fixing numerous existing bugs proved to be challenging, primarily because many of them were reliant on both the client's network and the photon servers we utilized. Several bugs proved to be nearly impossible to rectify, as we lacked the ability to adjust the server's behavior in specific scenarios. After two years of dedicated efforts to explore alternative solutions for these issues, we developed a novel synchronized loading system. This system involves conducting a swift check of all participants' data after each round, guaranteeing a seamless start for everyone in the subsequent round and preventing any data loss due to timing issues. Moreover, this approach ensures that individuals who join ongoing matches have accurate data tracking, mitigating the risk of encountering corrupted data.

• Added Round end SYNC LOAD system[Beta]
  
• Added Match results new MVP screen
  
• Added PvP New match start after match ends

• Fixed thrown utilities staying over round for other players
  
• Fixed Not being able to spawn in when joining on going
  
• Fixed Choosing Wrong weapon and spawning
  
• Fixed Discord error call back when application is on but not logged in

Heya foodies,

The time has come. Nour: Play With Your Food is release on September 12! And we have a little trailer as a treat featuring an original song by the incredible Tobi Lou.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zjxr5Q6eLIE





Nour is unconventional and wild, and it was a joy to make. We set out to make a game with no goals or objectives other than experiencing the joy of freely interacting with the highly detailed virtual representations of delicious food and snacks we enjoy every day. Now we’re almost done, and if you think that idea for a game sounds fun, we hope you give Nour a shot when it releases in a couple weeks.

Go give it a wishlist if you haven't yet!
