The Devil Within: Satgat - Newcore Games Rob
Hello everyone,

Thank you for continuing to support 'The Devil Within: Satgat!' We have been hard at work on the next update, the first major one since Early Access began. In this notice, we would like to show some of the things that will be coming into the game.



The upcoming update is packed with many changes that we believe will meet the expectations of our community, adding layers of depth to the game. The overall flow and progression of the game has been improved to be smoother and much more enjoyable. Many things await our community, such as a variety of difficulties, boss challenges that really test your limits (depending on the difficulty that you select!), mysterious treasures hidden throughout the world that will enhance the exploration itch players have, and more!


In this upcoming update, the weapons and combat system have been significantly enhanced. The unique characteristics of each weapon have become more distinct and the parry system has been refined to maximize the thrill and excitement of combat. The AP System (stamina) penalty has also been eased, allowing for more mobility and evasion, greatly improving the flexibility of gameplay.


Speaking of mobility, a heavily requested feature is making its way to The Devil Within: Satgat -- fast travel. You can travel within the stage through campfires and between stages through Haetae statues (once it is unlocked), making your adventures more efficient and enjoyable. Improvements to various areas of the stages will allow players a more enjoyable exploration experience.



We promise that this update will further enhance the overall quality and enjoyment of the game. We deeply appreciate your continued interest and support as we work towards providing the best action-platforming experience!



Thank you.

Welcome, Park Managers!

This follow up patch to Update 11 addresses some of the more immediate feedback given by the community. Additional patches are soon to come!

Features


Amongst various changes to balance, guests and staff (particularly regarding travel speed and exploration distance), we've added a Sandbox conversion tool to Challenge Mode! This should help players whose parks are impacted by balance or calculation adjustments made throughout Early Access.

Going to Settings > Gameplay will now display the sandbox conversion button.



For more information about what other changes are coming in the next few weeks, please read our previous Dev Diary. Thanks!

Known Issues & Additional Notes
  • Animation issues with human props are still present
  • The newly introduced fence-end arrows appear on load. Placing a fence and cancelling will make them disappear!
  • Some visitors may disobey gravity at higher altitudes and continue walking forwards
  • Staff wages may be having too big an impact on the economy, so we'll be awaiting feedback on that
  • The sandbox toggles for staff and logistics are NOT currently implemented! Though the buttons have snuck into the build, we are still working on them and are being targeted for release ASAP.

God Within VR - andaoking
First of all, apologies for the delayed update. I've been busy with finals and recently got hooked on the Elden Ring DLC, This time, I fixed a batch of very old bugs. Some of them I forgot, but generally, they include:

Fixed the parry red light display error
Improved parry feel
Fixed the bug where monsters would suddenly collapse limply after being parried and stunned (an old bug, finally fixed)
Made enemy ragdoll physics more stable
Improved skeleton dismemberment stutter on death
Optimized the stutter issue when enemy death models gradually disappear
Randomly placed a few new weapons on the sandbox floor (the feel isn't tuned yet)
Added sprinting for Vive players (not sure if it works, if not, there might be a small update in the next couple of days)
Currently, the major update for the tutorial level is in stable development. The plan is for this level to be very large. Rather than a tutorial level, it's more like the first chapter in a real sense, with many new monsters, etc. Please be patient.
