Due to a few bugs found, I've released this updated version which is nearly the complete game.

• Two of the three fight sequence graphics are in
  
• Various extra story parts and extras are in
  
• Violet Hotel waitress voice is currently disabled- this will be re-enabled at release

We're tackling some small fixes we saw people point out. Next up is getting the Linux version up on testbranch, which I want to do over the weekend.

Let me know if we missed anything, especially bugs with the new content! I'm also looking at other things people have pointed out in feedback, but I'm running out of stuff to do on my OMENTUM list.

1. Right Click "Death Road to Canada" in your Steam Library

Major Changes
• The tons of Custom Characters in the OPP mode removed, replaced with a teleport to the Familiar Hut. We had to separate these because there were so many characters in one scene that it was causing problems
  
• Better stack handling/error preventing in Familiar Hut
  
• Tweaked where the bonus loot Perks give you the bonus loots, to prevent possible exploits using Familiar Hut and other means
  
  
  Bug Fixes
  
  
• Fixes for BURN UNIT when you pick from 4 people
  
• Fix for an incorrect link when picking from 4 people in the Chessmaster Event
  
• Fix for Apocalyptic Coffee event if you were a Dog or Cat
  
  
  Patch Notes Notes
  
  
• Big tweaks to the OPP left shack
  
• The OPP to Familiar Hut teleport took a bit, keep an eye out for bugs!
  

Hello,

A small update today to address reports related to spectating since the last patch.

---

• A small additional change to the last update to, hopefully, address issues being experienced when spectating fights.

---

(Version 3.7.13)

• Feature: Alternative control scheme added. It can be chosen in the game settings and can be used with either Keyboard or Gamepad as input device. This allows you to change classic Asteroids controls to making the ship angle towards your actual input direction. Please also note that the Photon Thrusters upgrade can drastically increase the ship's maneuverability and therefore affect the feeling of control. The new control scheme is limited in that you cannot actively use the backwards thrusters like you could with Asteroids-like controls. However, if you attempt something close a 180° turn, the ship will still utilize the backwards thrusters in an optimal way.
  
• Bugfix: Endless mode scores displayed the total harvest of the run rather than just what's been harvested in endless mode
  
• Translation: Various strings added and typos fixed

-Fixes to AI. (skating smoothing to player through them off position for certain scenarios. It's at a good medium now.
-Turbo Driveby Goalie as spotted in the opening sequences of your game has been corrected.
-Winning the Keg gave you the wrong screen. Corrected.
-Some main menu jank has been corrected.
-Toned down some deflections seen in Unfair difficulty. IT WAS A LITTLE TOO CRAZY.

Thank You everyone and Enjoy your weekend!

Starchasers! Welcome back. I'm taking my wife to a convention this Saturday and I'll be out all day, so, lucky duckies that you are, you get this week's patch early! It's a small one but there's some stuff there you'll like. I liked it. I like a lot of things. It's nice to like things. Like cats. I don't like my cats but I love them all the same.


Anyway, onto the patch!

• Added new commands to help find items via the developer console.
  
• Points of interest you've scanned and sold will now have a different color and marker indicating so.
  
• NPCs in on-station dialogue will now play talking animations when text is scrolling. Note that this kind of dialogue is something we never aim to voice, even when voices are implemented.
  
• You can now speak to the bartender on Gravecity.

• Autoturrets now prioritize your current target.
  
• Removed blank dialogue history nodes from your dialogue history from occurring. Or something. Who am I?
  
• Godmode now lets you craft things without needing the items. You still need the recipe, however.
  
• You can no longer pause and load the game within loading screens. This was largely an oversight that could result in too many save issues doubling up.
  
• Fitt’s planets now have symbols on the navmap.

• Fixed issue where the Pin could take you to dungeon exclusive systems.
  
• Radial menus will now close when you open another menu.
  
• Fixed miscolorations on Us freighter engine charging.
  
• Fixed UI issues with the on-station UI.
  
• Fixed exploit where you could equip higher tier objects in the wrong slot.
  
• Fixed issue where mods could restrict campaign and mission progress.
  
• Fixed issue where large transport tier ships wouldn’t have their turrets appear unless you were stupidly close.
  
• Fixed issue where the Planet Carver would spawn weirdly.
  
• Fixed mistextured or floating objects on stations.
  
• Adjusted spawn distance of fishing ships to help prevent bigger ships from hitting em.
  
• Fixed some mislabeled lanelines.
  
• Fixed issue with elite Subsumer missions not working.
  
• Fixed issue where docked denial AI voices would override normal docking voices.
  
• Fixed issue with The Problem With Automation’s transport circling endlessly.
  
• Fixed dialogue issues if you lost a race in Chunidale’s racetrack.
  
• Fixed issue where Allco’s elite missions wouldn’t let you loot the salvage item.

See you next week!

The demo will once again be available for a week, this time with a couple of updates and previews of what's to come, including some rad-looking cybernetic augments that you can take a peek at!

Finally, as always, please do get back to us with any bug reports and feedback.

We are hard at work preparing for Season 2, bringing Fantasy-themed cosmetics, gadgets, and a new map on June 24th. But in the meantime, we have a new update for you all.

This one includes a new map called Rumble Athletic Club, changes to earning Crown Fragments in team game modes, as well as a batch of fixes and balance changes.



Read on for everything new in Rumble Club v1.1.1:

New Features

• Earn Crown Fragments in team game modes. Get 20 Fragments to get a Crown!
  
• Check the new Game Modes daily to get extra Rumble Pass progress.

New Map

• Rumble Athletic Club - Try out this new gym themed map that supports Punch Royale.

Balance

• After throwing an object players can no longer immediately activate the magnet to juggle players.
  
• Punch Tank acceleration increased by 35%.
  
• Exploding cannonballs now weigh 40% less so players can punch them at each other.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug with UFO eliminations not counting. To compensate for this bug we are reducing the total number of UFO eliminations required by the season quest from 25 down to 10. Happy tractor beaming.
  
• Fixed a bug with tile drop speed on some game modes where tiles were only taking 5 seconds to drop instead of the intended 8 seconds.
  
• Fixed various crash bugs.

See you in Castle Punchington on June 24!
