Bug Fix
- fix some level type of zombie can not be generated bug
- fix when equiped with default primary weapon, we still give primary weapon, which is confusing currently
- fix cabage money colleciton ability is broken bug.

Balance
- slightly increase WoodBarrier's reload time change to 0.5s per level
- reduce knock back(repel) efffect of falling box to level 1
- reduce zombies number at early stage to 80% of first 3 minutes

As I have fixed almost the major issue, I will continue work on adding and improving, which include:
1. external system
2. clearer description and UI
3. item balance, there are still some weak items, and some items don't have much unique skills
4. Boss refine
5. UI minor refactor
6. map event system and map refine.
7. game target and simple background story
8. graphic minor refine
9. compionon system

I am not sure I would work on all of them. But I am working on some of them.
The above thing would take about 1-2 mounth approximately.
fix free to report bug and give me any suggestion.

Hey Steam community,

Hello. friends
How are you all doing?
We have recently developed a new region and are writing to share it with you.




It was once a prosperous town.




The sudden influx of chaotic substances instantly devastated the village.



People who were unable to evacuate were contaminated by the chaos and either died or became zombies.






The town has become devoid of life because zombies have started attacking everything that moves around them.




Are you brave enough to explore this town?

Hey everyone!

I'm thrilled to announce that the Water & Cook update (V0.9.9) is now officially live. You can play the new update on the default branch! A big thank you to everyone who helped with bug reporting and feedback during the beta period.


Water & Cook Update Teaser:


In this update, I've introduced new water-related content and significantly revamped the cooking system. The additions include a 💧New Thirst System, 🍳Various Cooking Recipes, 🎣Fishing and Fish Trapping, 🛥️Boat Escape Ending, 🏆New Achievements, and more!





A thirst system has been added to introduce another layer of complexity to survival. Now, gathering and purifying water is essential. Collect rainwater and purify it to ensure your survival!





The cooking system has been overhauled! I've added 50 new recipes, like hamburgers and pizza, to better match your resources and situation. Make use of newly added ingredients to cook up diverse dishes!





New locations like seas and ponds, along with 14 types of seafood, have been added. Now you can use fishing rods and fish traps to catch a variety of seafood. Strategically utilize the new types of seafood to your advantage!





I've added a new marina place and a Boat Escape Ending. Now, you have another pathway to victory. Set sail towards survival!





36 new Steam Achievements have been added, largely inspired by the community's suggestions. Thank you once again for your invaluable feedback.



In addition to these new features, I've introduced difficulty levels ranging from "Easy" to "Apocalyptic," revamped the farming system to include fertilizers and watering, and introduced a profile level feature. Please check out the full patch notes below for more details.

As always, thank you for playing Terminus: Zombie Survivors.

Enjoy! 🌊🍲

Best,
In-geon

Hey Folks,

We’re back with another Session Dev Blog, as we’re psyched to be bringing you some fun new content and terrain to skate.


The turtles have found themselves at home in NY and their sewer lair, but we’re also seeing awesome clips from around San Francisco, Philadelphia, and beyond. So keep the clips & content coming - and don’t forget to tag our social accounts!

Since our last release we’ve continued onboarding new team members and building for the future while also ensuring we're producing fun content for you as the player. To that note we’re excited to announce the release of our latest DLC bundle - in collaboration with Black River fingerboards!



Black River” Object Dropper asset set

• 38 items from rails, benches, boxes, and more!

We’re excited to finally be bringing back one of our early supporters of Session, Black River Fingerboards. While fingerboarding is not skateboarding - it replicates the freedom, artistic expression, and counter culture roots of skateboarding, just at a table top level. Being able to share the love we have for skating and grass roots companies like Black River was an easy call for us, and the variety of skateable objects leads to some incredible opportunities in game!

Please note that while the Black River object bank assets are bundled with the DLC, once owned they can be placed & used in any map or locale.

• Phatt Nugget Mall

The 90s were the heyday of the megastore and the boom of giant multi storied shopping malls all across North America. Malls have always been the forbidden fruit for skaters. Being clean, indoor, and mostly tile or marble with an abundance of ledges and drops the terrain was perfect, were it not for society & security! Thanks to Phat Nugget Mall being abandoned for the last 10 years, you can now revisit those glory days of hanging in the mall, but now with your deck and a chunk of wax!


Object Dropper Overhaul!

• We have fully reworked the Object Dropper system to make it more user friendly & intuitive, while still allowing for maximum player freedom. While those of you familiar with the old system will have some adjustment, the ease of use is greatly improved with our latest iteration.
  
• A bundle of free objects has been included in the Object Dropper overhaul for those wanting some variety but not ready to jump on the DLC.
  
• Asset Grouping is now possible:
  
  
• Asset re-orientation & Snap-to-ground added
  
  

General de-bug & Fixes:

• Camera - Fisheye camera lens has been reverted to V1
  
• Historical Challenges: Nate’s New York challenge line has been fixed
  
• Crash - A random Replay Editor crash on loading replays has been fixed
  
• Object Dropper - Objects no longer sink into the world on map load
  
• Audio fixes
  
• Improved material sounds
  
• Improved landing audio feedback
  
• Implemented surface transfer fx
  
• Other general debug fixes…

We continue to build our team here at crea-ture studios and are focused on integrating our latest team members into the studio, and project. Once we have everyone grounded we can look at how, and where, they can contribute in a meaningful and impactful way for the players!

Even with our latest additions, we’re still actively recruiting - and you can find ALL open roles at: https://www.crea-turestudios.com/careers/

Finally - keep an eye on the @Session Game instagram & Tik Tok accounts for updates and additional content from Donovan!

Peace,
The crea-ture team!

First and foremost, a huge thank you to everyone who wishlisted, played the demo and joined in on the live streams during Steam Next Fest earlier this month. It really helped boost my morale and there's already been some great feedback to address in future patches!

I rarely like to toot my own horn - but I'm happy to share some numbers that I observed during the event.

The first live stream reached a peak of 925 viewers!
The second live stream reached a peak of 843 viewers!
Over the course of the event I received 808 Wishlists!
I provided 2 bugfix and QoL patches throughout the event!

It may be small numbers compared to some of the bigger games out there, but these stats far exceeded any expectations I had!

Here's a few photo-mode screenshots I took during the live streams!












I'm happy to say that aside from a few glaring gameplay issues that became apparent from the Next Fest demo, the rest of the game is in what I think to be a good "Early Access" state.

My goal was always to minimize the amount of time after Steam Next Fest to an actual release that people can get a hold of. This will be the thing I focus on now, and I hope to have more news for you soon.




To tie off the newsletter I thought I would highlight some of the community videos and coverage that happened over the Steam Next Fest event. Please check out these content creators below and give them your support!

@vmeezo livestreamed his playthrough on Twitch, of his character called Nosey McNoseFace 🤣




@JenjibobCries also on Twitter livestreamed their playthrough and uploaded it on YouTube!



Tales of Lumin provided a break down of the current character customization options that you can find in the demo.



Ab's Pure Gameplay provided a short review over on the Steam forums and also provided a no-commentary playthrough of their experience on YouTube.





That's all for this months newsletter! As mentioned before - I hope to have more news for you soon regarding the progress and release of this game!
