Pets Bundle available for Pre-Purchase

---

This is the first time we have a bundle that features a "bundle only" package. To minimize the chances that things break, we are preparing as much as possible ahead of time.

Just in time for its release alongside the free Laika update next week, we've just made the Pets Bundle available on Steam. This contains the Pet Companions and Creature Comforts content packs, and as a bonus you will get access to the Zebra Rescue Mission - only available if you purchase the bundle.

https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/40692/Icarus_Pets_Bundle/

Welcome to week 124.

In the penultimate week before Laika, we’re introducing a new system for packing the game files so that future weekly updates download and patch quicker.

This means the update is out a day early, but hopefully will lead to fewer issues in future weeks.

We’ve also got a new Operation on Styx for you - GENESIS: Recovery.

Hop in and have a read.

This week we have a new Operation for you on Styx - GENESIS: Recovery.

This mission requires you to head to a small creature research station and take care of some local wildlife before hatching a strange new egg.

There also might be a new creature in this operation that you’re more likely to see on Icarus in greater numbers in the future.

---

This week's core reason for this update being released earlier is our adjustments to the update patching process.

Note: If you wish to postpone this patching optimization you can do so through a temporary branch we have added on Steam called ‘2.1.26’. You can find instructions on how to switch branches here.

We have added a temporary branch to Steam if you wish to postpone this patching optimization. it is called ‘2.1.26’. See this post for how to switch branches.

As we mentioned last week, we’re rolling out a patch that our optimization team has been working on.

It involves a long-standing issue with patch times, due to the way Steam’s patching process works with UE4 games.

What we’ve done is adjust the way Icarus is packed and distributed during this process, intending for it to work more efficiently with Steam’s patching process.

This does mean that this week you’ll need to redownload the entire Icarus game as it’ll need to reorganize your files into the new system, but it also means that Icarus updates going forward will patch noticeably faster from week to week and the size on the disk will be reduced.

Because of the need to redownload the entire game, we’ve brought this patch out a day earlier so people can preload this before the weekend.

---

For those of you who possibly haven’t read our previous updates, here are some of the features to expect:

• New Food Troughs, Water Troughs and Carts are being added
  
• Animals now have a levelling system and their own talent trees
  
• Animals now have a customs system in space and can be taken up into orbit and brought to other prospects just like workshop gear

We have even more we’re saving as a surprise for next week, so keep your eyes on our socials for more teasers.

Hey guys!

I'm thrilled to announce that after 5 years of development, my game is finally ready for release. These years have been different, but certainly not easy ones. The game underwent many transformations to reach its final shape. I aimed to create a game that was truly worthy and enjoyable, so I poured immense effort and soul into making something special. I handled everything myself - the 3D and 2D art, game logic, game design, and concept.

I'm extremely grateful to my sound designer and composer, SkupDM, also known as Skup Dmytro. He's a courageous individual living in a city that suffers daily from the terrorist attacks of the russian military.

Another interesting twist is that game development is my passion, and to make a living, I work as a seaman. Currently, I'm in the middle of the ocean, and we've recently received Starlink. The future is here; I can now upload all my files without worrying about internet quality. No more waiting 20 minutes to download a mere 5 MB. I can release my game without any technical issues due to internet quality. It's simply amazing!

I hope you enjoy the game!

We will continue to do our best to meet your expectations for Mad World. 

Thank you. 

This update tackles and limits additional illegal hits during PvP sparring.

First of all - this took a little longer than expected, but it's here!

The Linux version of We Are Not Alone is now available (and achievements work too!)

Originally this was going to be released very soon after the launch of the Windows + Mac versions, but little issues kept creeping in when compiling the Linux version on Windows or Mac.

Some REALLY bad things such as entirely broken lighting, Riley not having any skin ... the list goes on.

I've now setup an entirely separate Linux dev environment. There may be some minor little issues present (one viewable, but not enterable, room has a slight light bake issue).

I really hope you enjoy We Are Not Alone now that it is on your preferred platform, thank you for your patience!

If you encounter any issues please let me know and I'll get to fixing them as soon as possible!

-Andrew
