Cannibal Crossing News

Unlockable secondary classes for each character are now in testing! Further optimizations, new mission display, lots of balance tweaks, and much more!

Help us test this out and post feedback below, and we can probably polish things up and release a new major update this week. The next major update will also make the online multiplayer available for everyone, not just those opting in for the testing branch!

As always, post feedback here, on our Twitter account, in the Steam Discussions, or on the official Discord. The last one is the fastest way for us to respond, but all are really helpful for us.

Help us test things out! You can post any feedback here, or use the in-game links to post to our Twitter or Discord. Also make any other suggestions you'd like about anything, including general balance or requests for new additions!

[h2]How to Access Testing Branch[/h2]
- Right click on Cannibal Crossing in your Steam Library
- Select "Properties"
- Go to the "Betas" Tab
- Select "testbranch" from the "beta you would like to opt into:" menu



[h2]Major Changes[/h2]

- Custom Characters are now available for Horde Defense mode! Besides customizing your appearance, you get to pick from 3 different custom traits, then a starting weapon loadout, then a SUPER

- No Quarter Mode is now available! See if you can survive without a base, but get some extra advantages in exchange for this penalty

- New system for Ammo and Materials!
- Materials now go into a storage box like ammo does, to a certain extent. By default, wood, scrap, metal, and bandages go in here and stack to 20 each
- You can now go over the previous ammo box limits, with the ammo then appearing in your inventory in smaller stacks. This also applies to the new Materials box

- Further performance updates, let me know if you have any slowdowns at all, at this point!

- Companions are temporary summons now, instead of one following you around constantly. In exchange, they are now much, much more aggressive and hopefully intelligent
- Summon 3 companions at a time for 60 seconds using the new Walkie Talkies. You can craft or very rarely find them. Use multiple summons to get up to 9 people following you around, blasting everything.

- Bonus Waves can now appear in Horde Mode, where you temporarily get a powerful weapon and infinite reloads with that weapon

- Redesign of how Weapon Upgrades work for Tier 2 and 3 weapons. They no longer require a copy of themselves, of the same rank, to upgrade. The system has been replaced with needing "Premium Parts" to upgrade them
- Premium Parts are found by breaking, smelting, or otherwise dismantling Tier 2 and 3 weapons

- Occult Library is back, and redesigned. Now it lets you make powerful magical items, using a new resource that is rarely dropped by Negatives

- Joining through Steam SHOULD now work in Horde Mode (invites through Steam Friends list and such)
- Tier indicator added to the weapon description windows
- Laser Charger removed for now, rest in PIECES

[h2]General Balance[/h2]

- Various Rosie fixes, including her SUPER turrets working properly
- SIN SUPER food drop rate buffed to 15%
- WARDEN super now roots onscreen enemies for 10 seconds while applying a 40% damage increase to them until they die
- Lola's SUPER increased from 8 -> 12 seconds duration
- No more free buddy backup during bosses. We may put this back in, but they're so strong/aggressive now that we would also have to increase boss health to compensate

- More tweaks to tier 2 and 3 weapons, hopefully making them more rare outside of Stashes
- Gold Stashes should now properly drop Tier 2 weapons at minimum! This also gives Gold Stashes a much higher chance to drop Tier 3 loot!

- Lots of tweaks and rebalancing to turret values, generally buffs
- Changed Bandage-O-Matic name to Cloth-O-Matic outside of Horde Mode
- Negative Turret now available if you have Tier 3 turrets unlocked

- Loot Note missions now spawn a wave of enemies to kill before the Stash spawns
- Lots of updates to follower AI
- Various small tweaks to the newer bosses

- You can now build the upgraded base buildings that require a specific character as soon as you first accept their quest. Before this update, you had to kill their associated boss

- The subclass unlock costs doubled for their traits

- New Electronics Station items! Two of which are Ronin-only

[h3]Perk Changes[/h3]

- Some perks can now be replaced by others in Horde Mode, as shown below with (HORDE ONLY)

- Strength Perk 1.2 - +100% Melee Weapon Durability (up from 50%). 1.3 - "Melee Attacks get +15% Critical Chance"
- Strength Perk 3.3: Changed so that the side arrows are 50% weaker (so the perk is worth double damage if all arrows hit, not triple)
- (HORDE ONLY) Toughness 1.3: You get +50% extra healing from items, double healing from the Autohunter
- (HORDE ONLY) Endurance 2: Vending machine items and food is 5/10/20% cheaper!
- Endurance 4: 1. Ammo Storage Increased +50% 2. Material Storage Increased +50%, (HORDE ONLY) Replaced with 10% cash discount 3. Ammo Storage Increased +150% (So 500 bullets, etc)

[h3]Occult Library Items[/h3]

- Dark Tonic added, the only source of instant healing in the game
- Orb of Protection added, which provides magical projectile immunity for 7 seconds
- Teleport Scroll added, a somewhat expensive get out of jail free card
- Dark Summon lets you summon a copy of yourself, using your equipped weapon at the time at its current level. This is intentionally severely exploitable

[h3]Horde Mode Changes[/h3]

- Some tweaks for some Horde Mode buildings
- Tier 1 melee should disappear faster in Horde
- Horde Weapons Vendor should have more items in general in the earlier waves
- Starting gold doubled for all scenarios, with slightly increased starting materials

- Horde Mode should now properly display Steam User Image
- Green Grocer is now stocked with food again
- Many various tweaks, fixes, and text changes

I accidentally forgot to turn off some developer settings for the testing branch yesterday, so it caused some unnecessary slowdowns. This should fix that.



- Fixed an error that was causing unnecessary slowdowns
- Experimenting with a Custom Character maker for Horde Defense mode!

Giant new update! This adds 3 new characters to the game, with their own traits, stories, and bosses. The performance of the game should now also be drastically improved, even in very large fights. We also redesigned both the Notes system, and how Survivor Followers work. A new weapon has been added, some automatic firing weapons have been buffed, and loot numbers have been tweaked including giving Gold Stashes a guarantee that they will have Tier 2 weapons (like the Sniper Rifle, Beretta, Battle Axe, Sword, etc) or better!

Read the full post for a full list of changes since the last main branch update!

Also, we have put up a Testing Branch now that has the Online Co-op mode. This features an all new gameplay mode, Horde Defense, where you rapidly get cash and materials to upgrade yourself and a base you have to defend from large waves of enemies. Let us know what you think! The expected level of bugginess right now is "it should be playable, but maybe pretty janky sometimes".

[h2]How to Access Testing Branch[/h2]
- Right click on Cannibal Crossing in your Steam Library
- Select "Properties"
- Go to the "Betas" Tab
- Select "testbranch" from the "beta you would like to opt into:" menu

[h2]Feedback We Are Looking For[/h2]

1. Any more requests for tweaks to control customization and gamepad tweaks. We are especially eager to sort out any gamepad controller issues, but we haven't seen any lately.
   
2. Your general opinion and stories on the new online mode, including any bug reports or feature requests.
   
3. Thoughts on the Open World/Story game modes at this point, especially Escape from Earlsboro. That is getting pretty close to being complete, we need a lot more testing on this from the player base.
   
4. Any other observations or requests! We're still actively putting in new features that fans ask for, including some elaborate ones like how we're currently working on character customization for online play!
   

Post your feedback here, on the Discord, or on our Twitter, all of which have links to them from the game's main menu!



If things go well, we may be nearly done with the Early Access period after February is over. Here are our goals coming up, though they can change if we run into difficulties or shuffle things around with other goals:

1. Post a guide for the Twitch Integration/Round Robin option for online play after making further tweaks to this. This will let viewers line up to join an online game in progress, with the next people in line taking their place if they die. This way, you can have an enormous amount of players in one online game, and still keep the player limit to 4 at a time! We want to flesh this out to also do things like let old players leave their corpse on the map, so you can really see the devastation
   
2. Final polishing up and testing of the Open World modes. I would also like to start testing the No Quarter mode before February is over
   
3. Adding Custom Characters for the Horde Defense mode. You'd design your own character for online play, including their appearance and a couple of starting traits/perks! The story characters (Liam, Shots etc) would then no longer be an option for the Horde Defense modes
   
4. Fixes, responding to feedback, putting in fan requests, tweaks, polish
   

[h2]Major Changes[/h2]

- Warden, Sin, and Rosie added to the game. You can unlock them as playable characters by completing their respective quest lines
- New Bosses for the above characters
- Sin's old SUPER replaced with an all new one: Feeding Frenzy. This boosts her running speed by 20%, while also giving enemies a 10% chance to drop food ingredients when they die for 15 seconds
- AI and attack pattern updates for the new bosses

- Removed lighting effects for enemies, enemy projectiles, and both player and enemy bullets that aren't fire-based. This should make the game run much faster, especially with a lot of enemies onscreen
- Tweaks on explosion particles for performance

- Greatly sped up the production times of various Base Buildings
- Smelter gets the biggest buff to build times, and now converts scrap to metal 4x the speed it used to for both versions
- Bandage O Matic is now 90 seconds for basic, 60 seconds for advanced
- All other buildings that make things take 60 seconds for basic version, 40 seconds for advanced (does not include Laser Charger)

- New system for dropped Notes: Instead of leading to survivor quests like Radio missions do, they will now lead to loot stashes. These loot stashes are planned to often have large groups of enemies guarding them, and will be a renewable source of loot and scrap
- Loot notes will give you a quest pointing out the location of a Loot Stash. These are usually Red, but you can also get Gold ones
- When a midboss gets killed, their location can now be used for other quests

- Follower revamp, they will now stay in the base until a boss fight or they are summoned
- Walkie Talkie for summoning followers, lasts 30 seconds currently

- Restoring saving your horde/hunting party/etc timers when interrupting them with a save and quit or a boss battle. The timers will restart after the battle or on loading the game

[h2]Balancing[/h2]

- Midbosses have about double the health they used to
- Increased some other boss values

- Lots of tweaks to loot tier drop chances as the days pass. Tier 3 will be a lot more rare in general, Tier 2 will initially be more rare, but eventually become more common that Tier 1 as the days go by. Loot Stashes will give the best opportunity to get an early high tier weapon
- Tier 2 and 3 weapons are more rare in normal containers (non-Stash containers)
- Stashes (Red and Gold) have less melee weapons than before
- Safes, lockers, and big metal lockers have their melee weapon drop chance reduced to half
- Gold Stashes are now much more rare
- Gold Stashes now GUARANTEE that if it contains a weapon, that weapon will be Tier 2 minimum!

- Upped Nail Gun damage by 30%
- Upped Uzi and Auto Pistol damage

- Player stats normalized between characters. Other than some slight changes in Stamina for different characters, this mostly means Sin isn't lightning fast anymore when sprinting

We recently put up Testing Branch 0.9.7.9.5. We could use more testers giving feedback, especially on our Discord, as that allows for really fast response to feedback. Join it here: Rocketcat Games Official Discord

[h2]How to Play Testing Branch[/h2]

To access Testbranch, right click on Cannibal Crossing in Steam Library, and go to Properties. Select the BETAS tab. Change the beta opt-in from NONE to testbranch, and it will download the testing branch.



We're running a little behind on our goals for January, partially due to a lot of time going into the Online Mode, and partially due to us decided to do two extra things early. One of these is that we're adding Rosie, Warden, and Sin to the game. They're now available on the Testing Branch, along with their bosses. The other big thing is that we're working on updating how survivor followers work.

Your survivor buddies no longer follow you at all times. A survivor will show up during their boss fight to help you out. Also, you will get ways to temporarily summon a larger group of your survivor buddies to help you fight. Right now, we're adding a Walkie Talkie to the game that lets you summon 2 survivors at once to fight with you. You will be able to use this twice in a row, if you want to summon 4 people total.

We also redesigned how dropped notes work. Before, they'd give you the same pool of missions that the Radio did. I thought this was redundant and a bit confusing. Now they'll point out the locations of loot stashes, and you have a chance of even getting Golden Stashes from this. Currently the loot locations tend to be out of the way. Later on, I'd like to revamp this so that the loot locations are also heavily guarded by enemies.

More details on what we added at the end of this post!



We're focusing again on optimization, while continuing to do work on the Online Mode. The game is running well for many now, but I still see reports of lag during gunfights. We could use more feedback on this as the builds roll out.

Online Mode is working with multiple people now for full games, but we're still hammering out bugs with the Discord testers. The plan is now to get this on the Testing Branch before January is over. At that point there will still be issues, but I want the largest amount of people to find the online playable and enjoyable when it is made widely available.
