Bug Fixes:

1. Season 3 Level 7 - 35th collectible item was fixed and is now rendering correclty
2. I disabled instanced stereo for non-VR launch ( it's only supposed to affect the VR launch, but for some reason some people couldn't launch the game because of it)
3. Season 3 Level 12 - Fixed the shadow inside tunnels, now you can see the road it's not all black
4. Season 3 Level 13 - Fixed the red portal and make the bright lights less blinding
5. Season 2 Level 14 - Fixed the issue where the music was stopping

Fixed:
- HUD now clears when going back to main menu

Misc:
- Game communicates with new backend, paving the way for more substantial player<->player interactions and persistence.

If any of you are interested in meeting me and talking about how great Sheeple is or pointing out a fatal flaw you see in it, then please come see me! I will also be walking with the newest version of Sheeple so stay tuned for that!
Sheeple might be showcasing on NGJ but that will strongly depend on how they are with space, In well worst case I will just conquer a random table for us, muahaha!

The third public playtests of The Whims of the Gods are starting right now! 🎉

By early August of 1944 the allies were pushing south of the beach head in Normandy. The allied plan relied on heavy bombers to soften the German lines. These missions were often considered 'Milk-Runs' by the crews, as they were usually unchallenged by German fighters. For the mission of August 8, 1944 the 91st would send three squadrons of B-17s to hit German positions that were confronting the Canadian First Army south of Caen.

B17 42-31367 Chow-Hound had completed forty-eight missions with three crews. During this last mission disaster struck. The Chow-Hound was cut in half by a direct flak hit. The Chow-Hound was lost with all hands.

Due to the efforts of a French organisation ANSA, the location of the crash site was provided to the US department of defence in 2001, which performed an excavation of the site in 2004, recovering and repatriating the remains of three crew members who had been MIA for 60 years. A military funeral with full honors was held at Arlington Cemetery in 2006.

Brave the deadly skies of occupied Europe!

• Enhanced most of the music tracks with better sound quality.
  
• Added a missing sprite

At ease Commanders,

We have a quick update for you today.

• Destroyers won't fire their guns if they are below 30% hull points. Previously they would be dead in the water when in cripple state from a single torpedo. Now they will fight a bit more if hit only by one. Using their guns.

• Fixed: torpedoes collided with free cam
  
• Fixed: submarine won't dive in reverse

Until next time, thanks for feedback, keep up the patrols and let us know if you encounter anything weird out there.

Hey everyone,

The wait is finally over! Schedule I is now available on Steam!



Thank you to everyone for showing interest in the game. Schedule I is a solo project I started over three years ago, and I never imagined the response would be this massive. It's truly rewarding to see so many people playing and enjoying the game.

I'm really proud of Schedule I already, but I promise that there's a whole lot more coming. You can expect significant monthly updates for the next few years. You can view the roadmap here. I'll run monthly polls to see what the player base would like to see next. Stay tuned!

Thank you,
Tyler

This is an simple yet exciting update covering a few key aspects.

• In previous builds, the player would use the radio tower to advance missions when playing on Easy and use their bed when playing on Medium. Now - all difficulty modes use the bed for advancing missions and the radio tower now serves as a way to dispense bonus missions. Bonus missions from the tower will be played in sequence but are only available after finishing a main mission. Only one bonus mission can be activated per main mission complete. (Currently only one as stated below, but more on the way as we speak!)
  
  
• Bonus mission "interludes" are similar to main missions in terms of combat, but have their own story and are checkpoint based within the mission without the ability to quicksave or save at any time like during a main mission.
  
  
• Bonus mission "interludes" can't be saved during, but can be exited if the player wishes to rather play them again at a later stage. Once they have been completed then they cannot be replayed from the tower until starting a new game.
  
  
• This build contains 1 new bonus mission that can be played at any time between missions through the radio tower in-between the first 4 missions of the game. This is the first of a series of bonus missions featuring General Gideon (Not to be confused with General Van Jaarsveld) and discovering the character in depth, as well as joining him on various antics.
  
  
• The new mission takes full advantage of our new character system with expressive dialogue and interaction, with the characters facial expressions changing to react to the players actions.
  
  
• Enemies can now only be looted once their death animation is complete, this prevents it from being far too easy to loot enemies before they've even hit the ground, considering the games generous interaction distance.
  
  
• Fixed an issue that would sometimes cause shell casing ejections to be rendered through other objects.
  
  
• Some minor audio balancing and weapon audio improvements on certain weapons.
  
  
• Improved a few models and textures, and a few indoor lighting scenarios.
  
  
• Fixed a bug that affecting the save game button in the main menu, but not the quick save or checkpoints.
  
  
• Some minor ragdoll improvements.
  
  
• Small performance optimizations.
  
  
• A few small bug fixes.

Thanks as always to all, and a huge welcome to all the new players that have joined lately!

Happy Hunting.
