Hotfix: Black/green screen, full lobbies, golden shovel...

Hi Sinners, I just pushed a small hotfix

-> Attempt to fix the black / green screen bug, my guess is that it happens when joining a full lobby or because of pirated versions. I added a validation to ensure only the servers with updated versions of the game are shown
in the game browser and another one to ensure full servers are not shown. Please let me know if and when you still encounter this issue.
-> Bug fix: You shouldnt be able to move before the loading screen disappears
-> Bug fix: The golden shovel now has the desired effect (dig speed x2) regardless of who finds it

1.1 Patch: Iron Maiden, bug fixes..

Hi Sinners,

I just pushed an update with the following changes:

-> The Iron Maiden device is now available for 750 coins!
-> Bug fix: Sinners should not be peeling potatoes or turned in the wrong way when teleported to the church anymore
-> Lobby names can be slightly longer
-> Lobbies should display the correct number of players in the server browser
-> Minor loca fix


I know that a lot of you are not able to find public servers, the reason is that I'm using the steam API to host/find servers and this is region locked by default to avoid too much lag, so your region might not have a lot of servers available at any time. I don't have an in-built solution yet, but you can try to change your region in steam directly: Steam/settings/downloads -> download region and try to find servers in a different region.

I don't have the capacity to react to every feedback/change but I'm trying to read them all and note them down, thanks for your patience!

In parallel I continue to make progress on the network stability and the new map, I hope to release it in the upcoming couple of months, this map will bring a lot of novelty elements and more complex tasks!

Cheers,

The Matriarch is now available!

Hey SInners,

The time has come! [h2]I’m thrilled to finally announce that The Matriarch is now available![/h2]

First of all, thanks to everyone who has helped me make that day happen, from the players who have been involved since the early betas, the discord members to the friends & family, thank you!

We have a long journey ahead together, and I can’t wait to dive into it.


[h2]What’s next? [/h2]

My priority is to ensure a stable launch, I will keep an eye on the bug reports, feedback and address the urgent ones as quickly as possible.

Then I will continue working on adding more content to the game, starting with a new map and a new sacrifice device which should come out a couple of months from now.

The new map ‘The Monastery’ will bring a lot of novelty elements, such as new & more complex activities, the ability for The Matriarch to sacrifice 2 BOTs per round, an underground area that is not all connected, and more!

Have fun!

Release Date on September 26th

Hey Sinners,

I'm super thrilled to announce that the Matriarch will be released on the 26th of September.

And this is only the beginning! New content such as maps, sacrifice devices, game options, and steam achievements will be added regularly for free, I started to work on a new, bigger map ‘The Monastery’ which will add a lot of novelties.

We organized a fanart competition on discord to win Steam keys, Congrats to the winners!
