Patch 1.6

[p][/p][p]Hello everyone,

We have released patch 1.6 this afternoon for Steam players. This patch addresses a number of issues reported by the community. This update should be available on consoles within a week or two.[/p][p]
The changelog below may include spoilers for some rarer rooms and mechanics.[/p][h3]
Patch 1.6 changelog[/h3]
  • [p]Added ability to manually “restore from backup” to the save menu. This is the same redundant safety system that was implemented in patch 1.5 to automatically restore a backup save in case of file corruption. Manual restoration may be useful for edge cases in which the main file is overwritten but not corrupted (one example may be a platform based cloud save conflict that was resolved incorrectly.) This feature can be found in the Save Menu.[/p]
  • [p]Fixed a softlock that would occur when attempting to use a certain special key in the Vestibule .[/p]
  • [p]In the Conservatory , controller support now works as intended while resetting rarity using the Room Directory .[/p]
  • [p]Fixed a bug that has eluded us for a long time that was unintentionally preventing something rare being dug up from dig spots. (A scrap of paper containing a hint for contraption components.) This scrap can only be dug up in a save file where the contraption has not been built and it will only have a chance of appearing later in the game. Dig spot odds have also been subtly adjusted to ensure that this fix does not  worsen item discovery or trash chances.[/p]
  • [p]Fixed a rare bug that would occasionally allow an extra classroom to appear in the draft pool after all classrooms in the draft pool had already been drafted.[/p]
  • [p]Fixed a bug that was preventing one of the default classrooms to be drafted in corner and edge locations in the house.   [/p]
  • [p]Fixed a few other rare issues preventing some rooms from unintentionally being unable to be drafted in certain locations in the house.[/p]
  • [p]Fixed a bug that would sometimes offer players a “blank” reward in the Chamber of Mirrors .[/p]
  • [p]Safety mechanism put in place to prevent a bug that was resulting in some players encountering three blank parlor boxes.[/p]
  • [p]Fixed bug causing some items in certain classrooms to spawn offset from its desk. [/p]
  • [p]Fixed a bug causing the metal detector to continue beeping after picking up a key in the Laundry Room. [/p]
  • [p]Fixed a bug causing the metal detector to continue beeping after picking up the Key of A**** . [/p]
  • [p]Audio added for SD raising event. [/p]
  • [p]Fixed a narrow issue in which Greenhouse would sometimes be inadvertently removed from the draft pool while drafting south in the West Wing. [/p]
  • [p]Fixed a bug with Commissary Special Orders that could delay some special orders from fulfilling.[/p]
  • [p]Fixed a few discrepancies in the Commissary's listed sale prices and signs. [/p]
  • [p]Typo for “features” fixed in Drafting Strategy Vol 2   [/p]
  • [p]Fixed a typo caused by hyphenation in Drafting Strategy Vol 5[/p]
  • [p]Adjusted some details in the final exam’s first question to be more geographically clear. [/p]
  • [p]Typo for “Synka” fixed in a terminal message related to packet transfers.[/p]
  • [p]Changed a component in a grid that was mathematically inconsistent. [/p]
  • [p]Fixed a regional character issue preventing repellent to work correctly in the Foundation for players in some regions. [/p]
[p]  And lastly, [/p]
  • [p]Fixed a recently introduced bug resulting in The Foundation sometimes not appearing at the beginning of the day.[/p]
[p]

[/p][h3]Patch 1.6 not 1.06?[/h3][p]We wanted to clean up our versioning scheme to align a bit more with Patch 1.10 which will be the tenth and final major patch to the game. We didn’t want this patch numerically mistaken for Patch 1.1 which now designates the first patch of the game, so major patches will proceed very logically in sequence -  1.5, 1.6, 1.7 etc. while minor patches and hotfixes will use a third patch number such as our last hotfix which was 1.5.1. [/p][p]
Thank you to everyone for your careful and diligent reporting of issues and bugs — it makes a huge difference

Introducing the Black & Blue Bundle

We are delighted to introduce the Black and Blue Steam Bundle.

The bundle comprises the inky black odyssey, Inscryption, by Daniel Mullins Games and the architectural adventure, Blue Prince, by Dogubomb.



[h3]About Inscryption[/h3]
Inscryption is a deckbuilding roguelike with escape room style puzzles mixed with some psychological horror from the creator of The Hex and Pony Island.

In Inscryption you will embark on an inky black odyssey and unlock the secrets of Leshy’s cabin with your deck of woodland creature cards.

[h3]Complete the Set[/h3]
The Black and Blue bundle is a “complete the set” bundle, which means that you will pay for and receive just the items you do not already own in your Steam Library at the discounted price.

As fans of Daniel’s work we are excited to be part of this bundle and will always be grateful for his support of Blue Prince.
