Hi everyone!

This update is not the version 1.0 I was hoping it would be, I've just not had the time to get all that extra content done yet, but over the past week I have had the time to go through the code and implement some significant improvements to performance.

Ever since version 0.1 of this game the dungeon floor map generation has taken way too long, but I seem to have now gotten that down to an acceptable level (it's taking ~10 seconds on my mid-tier PC). Combat is also now running much smoother.

Happy holidays! :)

Enjoy the slopes!

- Fixed an issue causing old saves to not open at all in the new build. (Old saves now open. Since they are from a different game version, content may not function as expected.)
- Fixed an issue causing custom stories to sometimes not save and load correctly.

Sewer Rave - SLITHERPUNK
Hey there.

Been about 5 years since I first released SEWER RAVE. I'm surprised so many people like my silly rat game so much. First off, thanks a lot for that.

I don't want this message to become a bighuge retrospective, so I want to keep this short and explain some reasoning.

SEWER RAVE is now free to own!

Because SEWER RAVE is 5 years old, it's one of the first games I made in Unity, and I was pretty new to the process. Going back into it to make changes and updates was becoming increasingly untenable. As time went on, there was both an issue with the Twitch integration and it does not work anymore, and combined with the new issues with the game engine Unity, I knew that updating it would be an issue. Because I felt like continuing to support the game as it currently exists was a difficulty, I'd prefer to just allow people to play it for free. I truly appreciate the support it took to get to this point.

As for the future of SEWER RAVE, I do have preliminary plans for a complete remake in another engine, but as I'm a busy person these days, that may take a while, I hope you stick around for when it can finally happen.
If you enjoyed SEWER RAVE, and would like to support my work, I'd love if you took a look at my itch page, there I have plenty of games you can take a look at. <3

Thank you so much

Cold Massacre - SeventyFour74
Hello there, I am back now finally to tell you all (especially those who liked Cold Massacre) that I'm now working on a new horror game. :)

This game, as the title suggests, is a successor to Cold Massacre. By that I don't mean it's a sequel, it's a completely different story and game in fact but it has the same top-down view as Cold Massacre and it's gonna share a lot of the core elements of that game. I'm of course improving on all the aspects and I'm already well on my way towards developing the game. (The game has been in development for about a month already).

So what is this game? It's called: "Get out of The" and if you think that sounds weird it's because it is. It is only a part of a sentence. A sentence that gets revealed to you as you progress through the game. Similar to Cold Massacre this game will take place in a single map (this map will be huge though, I'm spending ages on drawing all the assets). Of course though, this is not Cold Massacre, this game will have much more emphasis on story in fact. There's already full dialogues in the game, even though it's only at its alpha stages.

I won't be telling you any more than this. But when I eventually make a Steam page for the game, I'll post it here. :)

Survive the Nights - a2z Interactive
We’ve spent the last couple of weeks tackling a huge concept feature and probably the most requested feature from the community. Vehicle improvements, fortifications, tire punctures and replacement along with a lock system are being introduced in 1.27.

NOTE: This version requires a database wipe. If you’re hosting a server the system should handle the creation of a new DB automatically.

Vehicle Locking System
Until this update vehicles were not securable beyond the ability to remove a couple (or all) of the parts. The lack of fortifications and locking systems made it difficult for players to hold onto a vehicle for very long. In 1.27 we’ve introduced a basic locking system, owners of vehicles (those that first get them running) will have the UI option to lock that vehicle when looking at the doors.

Along with the lock feature, car alarms now only arm when the vehicle is locked. Vehicles found in the wild will not have their alarms set off by a shot/hit any longer.



Vehicle Fortification System
We have wanted to introduce vehicle fortifications since our original concept videos. 1.27 finally introduces the base system we’ll be able to build from. It has been much requested and a long time coming but as you might notice from the last few updates, we’re finally having the chance to get to introducing some fun features now that core gameplay is in decent shape.

Vehicle fortifications work somewhat like freeplaced and structure fortifications. The player can “place” fortifications directly from the inventory now. They can placed on any of our vehicles and on most parts of the vehicle.

Fortifications add their strength to the vehicles base strength. All fortifications must be destroyed from a vehicle before the vehicle is vulnerable to damage. The combination of our freeplaced system and the ability to bolster the strength of vehicles with freeplaced fortifications should allow you all to create some really unique designs.

We plan on expanding on vehicle fortifications and variants. Keep an eye out in the next build for our RV Nomad, a stripped out RV setup for life on the road.

Buggy forts - you can get as crazy as you’d like ːsteamhappyː

Placement Collider Expansion
Along with the fortification additions Andre has spent some time this update cycle working on expanding placement colliders. Players can now place items on top of most vehicle roof tops along with being able to place all over the RV interiors.

Roof placement and pickup fortification

Tire Functionality
Tires have not up until now been actual vehicle parts. All vehicles spawned with them intact and inflated. This didn’t add too much realism or add to the post apocalyptical atmosphere. Starting in 1.27 you will see vehicles spawns produce vehicles with all kinds of different tire states. Missing tires can be scavenged from other vehicles. There are small and large tires, they can also spawn in punctured. If tires a punctured players will need to find a tire repair kit, found at hardware stores for the time being. We will likely be expanding on this feature and the ability to repair tires in coming builds.


Tire replacement

Flare Gun Improvements
We have heard you and we agree, flare gun was useless and not bright enough. We’ve taken a bit of time and tweaked brightness and distance for the flare light. Making the weapon far more useful for seeing around dark corners and throughout the woods.



The Christmas Event
We’ve updated the event this year, the tree is brighter there’s a firework show if you make it through and we’ve added a few new goodies to the gifts received if you manage to kill all the zombies. Have a watch of the video below as James and Andre take on the challenge (cheating most likely, as they tend to do).



Holiday Movie
We’ve updated the drive-in movie theater movies for the holidays. You can receive the film case as a reward for completing the tree event. This years movie is the cult classic “Santa Claus Conquers the Martians,” a confusing and quite frankly insane Christmas sci-fi/comedy flick from 1963.



Community Spotlight
We’ve had some great content come in from all kinds of folk, some on our discord, some on YouTube and our workshop. With every update we’ll try to feature some community content for everyone to check out.

Video of the Week
TAS (The Accidental Survivor) has a series of great videos and his latest STN video is no exception. We had a blast watching, go check it out.



Screenshot of the Week
This updates screenshot comes from Erick over on the steam community. It’s a snowy shot in front of one of the islands churches. We should see a few more season themed screenshots with this update and the Christmas event.



Workshop Scenario
There are some fantastic scenarios on Steams workshop currently and we’ve had a good play over most. Today we’d like to feature Steam user WOLFMAN’S “28 Days Later” scenario. As he puts it himself..

  • “Zombies run and the world is screwed!”
  • BEST PLAYED ON THE SETTINGS I LEFT IT ON FOR THE REAL AUTHENTIC FEEL OF 28 DAYS LATER.
