4. Made third person bakkie camera mouse control adhere to the players current mouse sensitivity settings.
   
5. Added tooltips to crafting menu to show missing ingredient labels.

8. Spiders in caves are no longer mysteriously invincible.

10. If your own score is part of the top 40, it will now be highlighted in red.
    
11. Game day/night time cycle length can now be set from the games menu. Minimum is 30 minutes, maximum is 120 minutes/2 hours. This is the amount of time it takes for 24 virtual hours in game to pass.
    
12. Made jackpot achievement trigger whenever you leave or save the game if your score is over 100,000 instead of only just when completing an enemy wave.

21. Fixed rare/weird issue where going into caves caused your tent and identity document to double in number.
    
22. Added more information to hippo bonus mission tooltips to let players know to find a tranquilizer rifle by the waypoint instead of sometimes frantically searching the entire camp for R8000 to buy one first.
    
23. Made inventory item info text clearer.
    
24. Added numerical option selection for PC in caravan.
    
25. Added missing subtitles to final game section/boss fight.
    
26. Removed "Game Saved" message when in boss fight, tutorials or bonus missions when pressing quick-save since the game is not able to be saved during this time and the message is basically a lie.

35. Fixed issues with excessively high frame rates in caves and other indoor areas even when using V-Sync
    
36. Slight tweaks to rhino stampede A.I. to not freeze when it cannot reach the players destination but to select a destination as close as possible to the players position to prevent unrealistic behavior when the player jumps to a place of safety during a stampede. Still a work in progress.
    
37. Added Steam Community Leaderboard support to show your high scores on your Steam profile.

Found a rare scenario, where clearing out all the enemies in Chapter 2 would prevent players from finding and fighting the final boss [? waypoint] while also telling players they had finished the game without defeating the final boss or giving the final achievement. Also players who had already cleared out all the enemies in Chapter 2, would not be able to locate the final area and boss without starting a new game. For players stuck in this situation, the game will now detect if the final achievement for completing the game has not yet been achieved, and set the game back to the pre-completed state and allow players to locate the final boss by following the [?] waypoint using their radio.

A new pre-release test build (1.34.14.0) is available now for those enrolled in the Sim Update 13 public beta. You can read the release notes on the forums here. Based on feedback from testers so far, we have noticed positive improvements in this build to the long loading time issue which we discussed in last week's blog post. Some testers also remarked that they are seeing smoother performance in 1.34.14.0 compared to previous test builds.

The Microsoft Flight Simulator Community Team will be at the Reno Air Races next week from September 13-17! If you're attending the National Championship Air Races -- the last year they will be hosted in Reno -- stop by our booth and say hello! We always love meeting sim pilots and fellow aviation enthusiasts.

Hi folks! A bit of a late notice, but Devil Peach Soda's early access release is being pushed back one week, to September 15th. The reason why is pretty simple: As a solo developer, getting the game ready for release has me stretched pretty thin, and small life complications have put me behind on my schedule.

The game itself is about ready, but the release needs a trailer, and I've got some news posts talking about the game and how it works that were shelved because I never found the time to record pretty gifs for them. So, the next week of development on the game will be spent finishing the a trailer, posting about the game mechanics, and polishing everything just a little bit more.



Apologies for the delay,
L.T. Whiting

Hi, today we have your monthly update about the development of RAT MEMORY!

• Movement in water:
  Now you can press the jump button to emerge in water (I'm also planning to make the run button dive).
  
  
• I finally changed the water effects, added ripples and splashes in time for this devlog. So here is what I managed to achieve:
  
  
  
  
• I'm currently giving the final touches to the last level I made, set at night.
  
  
• I'm also reworking the third demo level (the level that you have to find rats) to make it less demanding, less bugged and more natural looking (water helps to this).

• Moved project to Unreal 5.2.

Thank you for the 500 wishlists! Dreamhack beyond helped a lot to achieve this!

Stay tuned for more updates, and I see you soon!

Here's a synopsis of the game:

Prompted into action by the promise he made to his girlfriend a year ago, Harry finally made a huge breakthrough in his quest for success by scoring a major deal for his company, in doing so setting into motion his inevitable promotion. But what he didn’t foresee is that the byproduct of his unshakable resolve would unintentionally invite an undesirable presence into his life. The representative of the subcontracting company—his old bully from high school.

Howdy!

Patch notes for this small update are as follows:

• Fixed an animation issue with the Hot Dog tank.
  
• Fixed UI issues on the unlockable popup.
  
• Fixed selector issues on the customize screen from going back and forth via the tabs on a controller.
  
• Fixed a button mapping when going back from the Ban Selection screen locally.
  
• Fixed minor pause menu issue.
