Hey everyone!

Steve here. After a lot of hard work from the team, we're delighted to finally announce that the long-awaited rework of Episode 2 "The Pool Party" has an official date of September 26th locked in on Steam. Check out the official trailer on our YouTube!

We want every episode of CK to live up to the expectations of our fans, and Episode 2 originally didn't quite hit the mark of what CK is supposed to be, so we've been working non-stop on reworking the entire episode from the ground up and we're confident that it's now one of our best episodes ever. So...

As well as reworking what's already there, we've added in tonnes of new content for players to discover, including (but not limited to) new sex scenes, an expanded free roam, and more frat time with both the Wolves and the Apes! We've worked directly with the fanbase and their feedback to ensure that we've cut content that didn't fit CK, and I personally led the re-writing of the episode.

A lot has changed in episode 2, if you load an existing episode 2 save now you will be placed at the beginning of the episode with your decisions from episode 1 intact. Loading an episode 3 save will give you the option to either start at the beginning of episode 2, or to continue from your save point in episode 3.
New choices that can be made in the episode 2 rework will be set to default options if you just load episode 3. We recommend starting episode 2 fresh to experience the great new content, and to ensure that you're making choices that feel right for you!

If you already own the Pool Party chapter then this rework is completely free. If you only own chapter 1, purchasing chapter 2 is required in order to access the reworked content.

We want to thank our amazing fans for all of their feedback. With your help we were able to realize the full potential of Episode 2 and we can't wait for you all to dive back in on September 26th and see what we've achieved!

Please note that we will take the demo down from Steam on September 15th, so if you want to play it now is a good time. It is still available DRM-free through our mailing list at our Website though! The demo will return to Steam at a later time, probably during future events.

We've just finished up the main functionality for the wind element for exploration! Instead of explaining what it does, it's best to see for yourself.


This spell will greatly expand your ability to explore around the world!

As you can see, this will be a very great spell for getting around the world! We're really excited to see how people use it in the full game. With any luck, it won't totally break everything! 😆 But if it does, we'll aim for it to be in fun and cool ways. 😉

Next we're working on the abilities of the Earth spell, which can pull objects out from the ground, including treasures, platforms, and more. (Note: the bury graphic is a placeholder)



Thanks for tuning in for Steam Chronicle #17!
Until next time,
Joseph

This update mainly addresses a rare crash in Act 9.

• The animation buildup for the Bubble Power is now much quicker.
  
• Fixed the Act 3 background in the credits.
  
• Added a missing playtester in the credits.

• Fixed a bug where the Hshu Hshu would de-spawn prematurely.
  
• Fixed a crash in Act 9.

Thank you to all of the new players recently! Let me know if you find any more errors!

Saw lots of comments under the island announcement asking about a faster vehicle that could be stored in the drillship.

And even though we don't plan to add one before the new (and way bigger) island is here...

We figured, why not give you a little taste of what that vehicle could look like?

Let me know what you think!

Слава Україні!

INFRA is now available in Ukrainian subtitles.

This is a fan localization, so a big thank you to Yaroslav Sahach
for your tremendous effort on going through, and translating, all the subtitles in INFRA!

To use the Ukrainian subtitles in INFRA, the language of Steam must be set to Ukrainian. This can be done by selecting "Steam", "Settings", "Interface" and then Ukrainian from the drop-down menu.

If you wish to continue using English subtitles in INFRA, you can right-click INFRA on Steam, select "Set Launch Options..." and type in "-language english".


On the other news, Obenseuer (former Open Sewer) complete overhaul is in playtesting phase, and you'll be hearing more from it in the near future.

+ Fixed first map, added delivering room and beacon computer.
+ Remove invalid superbombs
+ Resurrection when hero is live can be used for unfreeze or healing. Uses 2 aids instead one.
+ "Last chance". Once you have last life with easy mode, you take "Last chance" item gives you ability when wearing.
+ 50 all damage, doubles maximum life, very fast regeneration.

• The Defend button now displays a highlight icon when there's something to defend, with the number of defendable towns displayed on it.
  
• The question mark icon in the Population menu now describes how the happiness distribution works.
  
• Attackable cities now display the exact amount of the adjacency effect on attacking cost. Defending follows the same rules, but an exact value can't be displayed in general, because it depends on who's attacking.
  
• Tentatively fixed a crash bug in the Population menu.
