Attention, freelancers!

Here is the next update for the game. Check out the full change log below!

*Please note that these changes are not in any particular order.*

[h2]BETA Update 1.58.0 Changelog:[/h2]

Bug Fixes:

FIXED some odd looking detail areas that didn't blend well together


Changes & Additions:

Added a new Steam Achievement
Added new side quest "Shady Shipment" (Has two different ways to complete/options)
Added new environment details to several areas
Added corporate goon battlers (2 so far)
Added Corporate enemy faction (Corporate goons: +5% To Hit, +5% Critical Chance --- Beware, these guys are tough --- Will be used in the next update and future updates)
Added corporate security enemy type
Added corporate hitman enemy type
Added a corporate enemy troop setup
Updated random encounter lists
SCPD enemies can now throw (Also drop when they die) gas grenades (This includes the corrupt cops)
Continued balancing work on enemy stats
Slightly adjusted and rebalanced the hit type dice roll mechanics for grazes, solid hits, and regular hits (Regular hits are a little more common and grazes and solid hits are a little less common --- The idea is to still have some randomness to combat with this change, but make damage a little more consistent so you don't see long periods of crappy hits or excellent hits without getting any criticals)
Added new item icon art
Added new plot related items
Some various minor optimization improvements

Please let me know of any bugs or issues you may encounter so I can fix them. This update will be available for download shortly.

Attention, freelancers!

Here is the next update for the game. Unfortunately, I had some bad luck with some things that I had to deal with for a few days, so I'm a bit behind on this update's work, and due to this, not as much got done. Either way, here's what I have ready.

*Please note that these changes are not in any particular order.*

[h2]BETA Update 1.57.0 Changelog:[/h2]

Bug Fixes:

FIXED a broken dialogue option with Zick
FIXED a couple of typos


Changes & Additions:

Added Laser Designator support equipment (+3% To Hit, +2% Critical Chance, +35% Painted) "IDENTIFY TARGET!"
Updated several shop listings
Anytime and any place you're in the player apartment area, you get increased stamina regeneration
Added new randomized road travel event (Free Pass)
Added new environment details to some exterior areas
Added some new item icon art
Balancing pass on all enemies (All enemies lost some health and mettle, others lost some stats to help balance them more for what they represent)
You can now bring busted magazines to Spencer in the FSM HQ after his quest for a chance to salvage them into scrap
Added a warning message to appear after sleeping if the main character is malnourished (It tells you to eat or drink something to get rid of it)
Converted the resting processes into one giant process for using beds/sleeping spots
Sleeping spots and beds now have their options available based on rests used in a day and show in green if available
Added a mattress image to appear when using a bed/sleeping spot

Attention, freelancers!

Here is the next update for the game. Check out the full change log below!

I have a few screenshots of the new subdistrict.






(You need to talk to Salty currently to enter and leave this Subdistrict - he is in both the Industrial Zone and Greywater)

*Please note that these changes are not in any particular order.*

[h2]BETA Update 1.56.2 Changelog:[/h2]

Bug Fixes:

FIXED some typos
FIXED some text running off screen in certain dialogues
REMOVED a leftover testing event
FIXED a tileset page not having some new entities which were added last patch
FIXED some tileset pathing issues
FIXED some districts not having a sound effect to play when the intro is displayed on screen
FIXED a messed up map spot in Crescent Strip (Looks like something happened when drawing that spot and it got misclicked or something)
FIXED Indigio's event where you talk to her still being present after you accept her into your squad (This was caused by a change last update)


Changes & Additions:

Added new unique NPC sprites and faces
Added some new unique NPCs to interact with
Added corporate goon sprites (Thanks to Acehangman for these!!! These will be used soon!)
Added "Greywater" new sub district (Still a bit of a work in progress - you can get there by talking to "Salty" in the Industrial Zone currently - you will eventually be able to walk there like the other districts - there are currently no quests here, but there are some shops)
Minor adjustments to colors of time of day and fog effects
Gave some exterior walls some shading effects to look like grime/dirt to make them look less "cartoony"
Interior wall edges have been shaded to help focus the image on the playable area and make it look more "moody" (Inspiration comes from how Shadowrun Returns/Dragonfall/Hong Kong did their interior lighting/shading)
Reduced file size of some on screen images that display over time which will help with performance
A few other small adjustments

Please let me know of any bugs or issues you may encounter so I can fix them. This update will be available for download shortly.

Hey everyone!



So, 10 years ago today, Corrosive Studios was born!

I couldn't have made it here without all of your support, enthusiasm, and help, so thank you to each and everyone who has taken this journey with me and walked along side of me all these years.

Hopefully, here's to 10 more!

Thank you everyone!
