Broken Roads News

We’re very happy to bring you another polish update to Broken Roads, including increased font size when using the Large Font setting (especially handy on Steam Deck), improved companion reactions depending on player choices, removing some of the ‘teleporting’ moments that some players found rail-roady, TONS of combat, weapon and consumable balancing, plus a couple of spoilery bits and pieces we won’t mention here.

[h2]What’s Been Happening with Broken Roads’ development?[/h2]
We have racked up hundreds of pages of feedback, notes, suggestions and draft material for improving Broken Roads, and now is the time to implement. We’ve been focusing on improvements that don’t require translations for now, with a lot of focus on improving the weapons and consumables (in terms of AP required, damage, range, reload time, and dollar value).

We’ve also worked on removing some of the moments in the game that used to instantly transport the player to the next location or to complete a quest objective. This approach involves a lot of testing as many things can go wrong, so it’s slow work, but there’s more of this to come.

We’ve also identified some specific quest, journal and objective issues that can still be made considerably clearer for players (we’ll be focusing on Lake Deborah, Merredin and Southern Cross for the next patch).



[h2]Steam Deck Verification Update[/h2]
Broken Roads is now officially classified as Playable on Steam Deck, with the feedback that some of the text and controller glyphs were still too small even with the Large Font option enabled. We’ve addressed all of the points requested by Valve and are resubmitting for full Steam Deck Verified status along with this patch going live.

[h2]What’s Next?[/h2]
More polish and bug fixes, but also the bulk of the work to expand on and improve pretty much every area of the game. We’re doing all of this in English only at first, and will be releasing these updates on the English-Only branch. There’s a new feature in Steam that allows players to seamlessly switch branches without any technical knowhow, and that’s what we’re focusing the next update on.

Without having to get the text translated or put through localisation QA, the turnaround will be much faster. We’re also no longer limited by word count restrictions and can flesh out all of the dialogues we couldn’t at launch, and have the freedom to completely rewrite entire characters, conversations and quests to make the game as good as it possibly can be.

Once this is done, we’ll get to work on localisation and translation and of course patching consoles to get to the same point.

Thanks again for your patience and to everyone who continues to support us as we press on with making Broken Roads the best it can be.

• SPOILER: Removed a dialogue break when talking to Mick after Priss first threatens the player.

Hey everyone!

We have a new patch for you and we've updated and fixed quite a bit. One of the big things here is we just took so much (I believe all) of the flirtatious/sexual advances out of the game. The feedback and general community consensus was that they were very poorly executed and there was not a good balance of them. We would have rather we did them right or not at all, and so now they are out of the game until we can do them properly.

Then there are also a lot of small bug fixes, quest polish, little bits and pieces that improve certain interactions, and a lot of changes to remove unnecessary or repetitious dialogue choices that didn't result in a different outcome for the player. Much of this is the result of the feedback and consultation with George and Olga, whose content/writing work will be coming in a future update.

[h3]WARNING: SOME SPOILERS INCLUDED IN THE PATCH NOTES:[/h3]

• Removed all flirtatious dialogue from the game
  
• Fixed an issue where Barter Crew players could repeat Ian Mason's weapons training dialogue
  
• Fixed a save game issue where Ian Mason's thugs would respawn even if you sent Ian Mason away from Kokeby
  
• Giving Alex Wilson in Aldersyde water or bandages actually removes those items from the player's inventory
  
• Fixed a save game issue where Alex Wilson's corpse in Aldersyde would disappear after talking to him as a Surveyor
  
• Fixed a logic issue where Mick and Ames would comment on the player leaving Alex Wilson to bleed out even if they did something else
  
• A rock in Brookton can no longer be pet
  
• Reduced the number of player options to choose where to go at the start of Brookton after the attack
  
• Fixed an issue where Mick's dialogue was always negative towards the player at the Plane Crash
  
• Reduced the number of player options that asked Ruben to join the convoy in different ways
  
• Moved a container from Plane Crash to Ennuin
  
• Fixed a logic issue in the Plane Crash so players do not see dialogue about the lock box in the cockpit if they've already investigated it
  
• Removed a first aid kit next to the ambulance in the Plane Crash level
  
• Adjusted items in containers found in Merredin
  
• Removed a vendor from Aldersyde
  
• When saving Cole from Aldersyde, the soldiers that spawn in the ensuing combat start further away to allow a setup round
  
• Rotated Lily Petrovic so players can see her face better in Southern Cross
  
• Fixed the placement of a container in Southern Cross for easier access
  
• Adjusted the XP reward for bringing Siobhan radio parts in Southern Cross
  
• Added two radio parts to Locky's shop in Lake Deborah
  
• Dead bodies in Kokeby no longer spawn after Chapter 3 ends
  

Before we end our patch notes we wanted to say thank you to everyone who has supported us and been extremely patient with all our updates, we'll see you next time.

[h2]Hi all,[/h2]

We’re thrilled to be bringing you our second major update since launch. This should be considered more of a hotfix than a major content update (although that is in the works) as it addresses many small bugs, quest logic fixes, a late-game issue that could cause a soft lock for some players, item and container fixes to vendor inventories, tweaks to certain skill checks, and more.

We’re also very excited to announce two additional Narrative Consultants who are now working with us to make Broken Roads the best game it can be, and you’ll start seeing their changes in our next content updates.

So, without further ado…

[hr][/hr][h2]George Ziets and Olga Moskvina have joined the team![/h2]

We’re extremely pleased to announce that two very experienced RPG writers and designers are now working on Broken Roads. George Ziets, whose titles include Fallout New Vegas, Neverwinter Nights 2, and more recently Wasteland 3, and Olga Moskvina, who worked on Disco Elysium and Stasis: Bone Totem are on board as Narrative Consultants.



George and Olga are examining every part of the narrative and quest design from the origin story through to the end of the game and we’ve already started making numerous small tweaks and improvements throughout.

We’ll share much more in the coming months, with full breakdowns (we’ll try to avoid the spoilery stuff as much as possible!) of the edits and additions for those interested. We’re unsure of the exact word count we’ll be adding, but our last patch introduced over 10,000 words for the origin stories alone (and some small mid-game tweaks and changes), so expect much more to come.

[hr][/hr][h2]Steam User Reviews are now Very Positive[/h2]

We wanted to send a huge thank you to everyone who has taken the time to post a review on Steam. Nothing helps indie developers before launch as much as wishlists, and nothing helps indie developers after launch as much as posting a review.

Over the last month, our user reviews have gone from Mixed to Mostly Positive to Very Positive, and at the time of writing we’re at 86%. It’s incredibly rewarding to see the work that the team has put into improving the game since launch paying off. We know it takes players time to write reviews, so every single one of them is appreciated!

[hr][/hr][h2]Steam Summer Sale[/h2]

The Steam Summer Sale has just begun, and we have discounted Broken Roads on Steam by 20%. If you’ve been waiting for a sale or a new patch, now’s the time!

[hr][/hr][h2]Auto-Assigning Companions on Level Up[/h2]

At launch, companions in Broken Roads would level up automatically. We received feedback from players that they would rather manually level up everyone in their party, so we added the ability to do so.


Those who still prefer to focus on their player character only can use Auto Assign on each level up (and can do so in Merredin even if your companions are not in the party). Look out for the exclamation mark over your player character or any companions that indicate that you can level them up.
We’ve also added a dialogue option, shown below, to back out of assembling your companions before departing Merredin. A small quality of life improvement if players happen to accidentally access the Overworld Map without meaning to.


[hr][/hr][h2]Version Numbers[/h2]

We’ve had some players point out that the version numbers between the various PC platforms are not always the same. That’s just a part of the build process we have in Unity, and can assure you the contents are identical. Here’s where we are at the moment with regards to the different PC version numbers:

Steam: 1.2.8883
GOG: 1.2.8884
Epic: 1.2.8886

[hr][/hr][h2]Patch Notes[/h2]

Details of what you can expect in this update are below, split between general fixes and origin story changes up top, with mid/late game spoiler fixes in their section afterward.

We did also tackle some mid and late game moments that players requested, so take note that THERE ARE SPOILERS IN THE NOTES BELOW.
