Dredge dev says a mechanic that killed NPCs without warning if you let them go hungry lasted for about 3 days after the game's launch before they patched it out, because 'people f*cking hated it'




Dredge was one of 2023's out-of-left field indie greats—we gave it an 89 in our Dredge review, then later bestowed it with Best Setting award for our Game of the Year shoutouts.

DREDGE Update: v1.4.2

Hey anglers,

This update contains a handful of small bugfixes and performance improvements to the game. Check out the full patch notes below.

We’re hard at work on our next DLC, The Iron Rig, and are looking forward to sharing more about it in 2024!

[h2]Patch Notes:[/h2]
[h3]Adjustments[/h3]
  • Various optimizations to reduce the game’s memory usage and improve load times.
  • Reduced the volume of the Aurous Anchor’s portal idle SFX.
[h3]Fixes[/h3]
  • The grids at the ice shards in The Pale Reach now only accept ice axes.
  • Fixed an issue where some lines of text (at The Airman, and The Collector) would hang when run in some languages (Japanese, Chinese, Korean) with Text Speed set to “Fast”.
    • We’re aware of a few more instances of this occurring in some side quests, specifically when refusing to pick up quest items from NPCs. To avoid this, you can either:
      • Reload, and do not refuse the item.
      • Change your text speed to “Normal”.
  • Added missing ambient audio to the shrine in The Pale Reach.
  • Fixed a typo in the line that describes the dog vomiting.
