Neighbors: Suburban Warfare News

Hello dear Neighbors,

We are releasing another Hotfix to polish the game.

[h2]CHANGELIST HOTFIX #3 [/h2]

1. Neighbor limit: Based on the feedback we've received it became apparent, that certain Neighbor compositions are too oppressive. Due to that we've decided to decrease the max. number of unique neighbors per team.
   
   
   • Reduced the maximum number of unique neighbors per team from 2 to 1.
     
   
   
   
2. Combating the "Rushing Meta":
   After careful observation and valuable feedback from the community, we've identified that the "rushing" strategy had become overwhelmingly dominant. This was largely due to the overly fast access to demolition items - like Hammers & Crowbars - without requiring sufficient resource investment. As a result, rushing was consistently outperforming other strategies and reducing overall gameplay diversity.
   
   
   • Reduced the max number of hammers spawning inside the house. Now there will only be 1 hammer inside the garage.
     
   • Removed the chance for hammers spawning inside the house.
     
   • Reduced construction damage of the hammer by 20%.
     
   • Increased the number of required ressources for the crowbar to 2.
     
   • Increased the number of required ressources for the saw to 5.
     
   • Removed the chance for Baseballbats inside the house. Only accessible via the Mystery drop.
     
   
   
   
3. Mary-Jean: To make Mary-Jean more viable we've decided to increase her unique ability.
   
   
   • Reduced lockpicking time by 30%.
     
   
   
   
4. P.A.: We've recognized, that P.A.'s cannon has become a bit oppressive by using it primarily for mobility allowing him to traverse the entire map from the safety of his own property.
   
   
   • Reduced range on P.A. cannon. Reduced by ~30%.
     
   • Reduced health on P.A. cannon. 70 -> 40.
     

Have a nice evening/day!

Hello dear Neighbors! 🙂

We are releasing a second Hotfix. This time we are addressing some more substantial elements of the game and also tune back a bit of Kevin's damage, since it appears too strong now. We mistakenly over tuned him a bit last night. Please continue giving us feedback and we look forward to adjust accordingly.


[h2]CHANGELIST HOTFIX #2 [/h2]

• Security: Fixed multiple cheats and exploits.
  
• Hit registration: Refined hit registration with a primary focus on melee items.
  
• Launch Errors: Fixed a bug where some users could not launch the game due to 1001, 1002, 1003 and 1004 errors.
  
• Kevin: Nerf for Kevin's ranged abilities to bring more in line with the other neighbors.

[h3]Greetings Neighbors![/h3]

We love your passionate exchange merely a few hours after our Early Access release!
That is why we are releasing a small Hotfix to address most pressing issues:

[h2]CHANGES[/h2]

• Kevin: Increased the damage of his slingshot.
  
• Louie: Reduced AOE and damage for his fireworks.
  
• Currency Display Bug: Fixed a display issue, where some currencies are falsely displayed with additional 0's attached.
  

See you in the neighborhood!

Hello Neighbors!

Today we concluded the second Open Beta playtest and first and foremost:
A huge THANK YOU to all of you who participated in our playtest — whether you were playing, chatting here on Discord, leaving feedback on Steam, or streaming the game. Your passion, ideas, and excitement have been incredible to see. It’s moments like these that show us we’re on the right path: developing Neighbors hand-in-hand with the community. 💛

We’re now taking all the feedback we received, reviewing it carefully, and working hard to optimize the game in every way we can ahead of the Early Access release on April 17th. We’ll announce the exact launch time soon™, but here’s something we can share already:

We want to fill the streets of Heartsville with as many players as possible, and we’re sticking to our “players first” mentality during the rest of development. That’s why we’ve decided to release Neighbors: Suburban Warfare for $10 / €10 during Early Access.

We can't wait to welcome you back to the neighborhood.

[h3]Let's make Neighbors a success — together. 🏡💥[/h3]
