Hello! Another set of patches coming through, thanks for your patience in waiting for these fixes. Here's what's changed:

+ Expert and skirmish unlock fixed: There was a fringe bug that if you closed the game after unlocking the modes before the game saved and closed. All sorted.
+ Ability to turn off Morse references: In the previous build, the Morse translations for the letters/numbers were only turned off in expert mode. These can now be fully disabled using H on PC or Y on Steamdeck.
+ Collapsible version of helpsheet: Previously, MORSE had no helpsheet in expert mode, which meant on later levels if submarines rows out of view it was hard to tell. Now, the helpsheet isn't gone, it just collapses smalls and displays the characters on either axis. You can also hold H to fully close the helpsheet if you want.
+ Minor text correction "Plant 3 mines to start the wave", adjusted to 2.

That's all for now, let me know if you find any more bugs and enjoy!

Greetings Operators,

In case you missed it, the major update coming at the end of this month will introduce a new weapon, exclusive to the Zombie mode: the crossbow. Let’s deep dive into this new element and what you can expect from it!

The crossbow is a silent but deadly weapon, familiar to a lot of you. For now, it’s a weapon exclusive to the upcoming Zombie Village map: mainly conceived as a way to efficiently deal with strong waves of creatures with explosive bolts (and is there any funnier way to deal with these creatures than good ol' explosions?).

The weapon fires explosive bolts that cause massive damage and can wipe out clusters of zombies with ease.

This makes it not only fun to use, but also a compelling tool from a balance standpoint, since it provides players with a high-risk, high-reward power spike at key moments of the match.

It will remain exclusive to the Zombie Mod for this update, as this first version is meant as a preview of the weapon before its full introduction into the game’s loadout system. In a future update, players will be able to unlock it permanently, customize it, and use it across all main game modes with different bolt types and attachment options.

How to get it is also one of the reasons the crossbow is tied to the Zombie Mode: players will need to get to work to unlock the secrets leading to the crossbow. It’s intentionally difficult to get, as this is an incredibly powerful tool.

Developing the crossbow was a very interesting challenge. We faced several technical difficulties, especially regarding animation and weapon rigging. Achieving a realistic feel for the string tension and pull was essential, and required multiple passes between the rig and animation teams. Getting the mechanical movement and overall feedback right took time, but the final result matches the level of quality we aim for in Bodycam. We are very happy with how it turned out and we’re excited for you to get a hand on this beauty.

\[PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS VISUAL, FINAL RESULTS MAY NOT LOOK THE SAME IN GAME]

See you at the next Focus time!

ICYMI, here are some other interesting reads about Bodycam!

Kane, out.

Misfits and Myspace users, we’re proud to announce that ‘I Write Games Not Tragedies’ is officially out! 🎸

Ash’s messy, sketchy world is now ready for all of you to dive in. We’ve worked long and hard (dark circles are just natural eyeliner) on this deeply personal and deeply cringe experience to make it the best it could possibly be.

You’ll love I Write Games Not Tragedies if you love 

• A coming-of-age story that’s honest, sad, humorous and most of all - embarrassing

• Fun rhythm game mechanics that will have you literally screaming for the highest score

• A unique hand-drawn art style that’s both dark and kinda cute, just like our souls

  
  Localisation Update

  I Write Games Not Tragedies is launching in English only. Despite our best efforts, we could not get our localised builds to a level of polish that we would be proud to release. We’re so sorry and we understand how disappointing this might be to players who are looking forward to experiencing the game in Japanese, Simplified Chinese or Traditional Chinese from day one. However, hand on heart, we are working on this right now and aiming to deliver these localised versions as soon as we possibly can.
  
  
  Whether you’re a baby bat, emo elder or the normie of our dreams - thank you for being here and we hope you have fun seeing the world through Ash’s eyes - Studio Wife, Cornmandog & Yotsuba Interactive
