Patch 1.5.c: Fixes & Flopsy!

[h3]Hey everyone! It's finally happening! As we speak, the team has put out an update that will let you dress up Zoe in the outfit of none other than Flopsy the Lovable Clown!!![/h3]

I know a lot of you have been clamouring for this day, so I won't keep you too long, but there are a couple of fixes in today's update as well.

Without further barely-contained-Flopsy-excitement, here are the patch notes:

[h3]New Content:[/h3]
- Enabled the Flopsy the Lovable Clown outfit!
- Enabled the dark and mysterious Twisted Flopsy outfit!

[h3]Fixes:[/h3]
- Disaster Crowns now correctly appear for all players in Disaster Mode
- The text for the Invite Screen now works correctly in all languages
- Added missing localization to some dialogue scenes in some languages
- Visual and performance improvements to the multiplayer running trails

That's all for today! Please keep reporting any issues you run into on the Discord server or the Steam forums!

Oh, all right, it's not actually all. There's so much beautiful community art being posted, so I encourage everyone to have a look on our Discord server! Here's some of my favourites lately:

I wish I could say I had any self-control, but I can't resist a Weeboh post:

By Ish!

Apparently I am supposed to also include non-Weeboh art, so... Oh, this will do nicely! This will do very nicely indeed!

By Sushi!

Patch 1.5.b: Fixes for the Run Together update!

[h3]Hi again, everyone! You seem to have stayed busy in the one day I've been away. The team has also been busy, so they already have a small patch for you! [/h3][p][/p][p][/p][p]Most importantly, it fixes the problem where mouse users weren't able to buy Abilities from the rest of the crew. Or to back out of the dialogue, either, leaving games locked until you shut it down. Woooops! Anyways, it's all better now, so you can spend your Antisparks to your heart's content! [/p][p][/p][p]We also fixed the problem where you would sometimes take damage from passing through the large Agency structure with a... scary burny thing in the middle. Turns out it was some misplaced invisible colliders, and not a clever Agency trap the way I thought... Here's the full list of fixes: [/p]

[p]The Ability buying screen buttons now work with mouse input again!,[/p]
[p]Fixed incorrect colliders on the large "Stronghold" obstacles with the lava orb,[/p]
[p]Skins are now previewed when you consider whether to buy them or not, which should make the choice easier!,[/p]
[p]Zoe's Weeboh Outfit illustration now correctly displays her hair. Now you get to see those delicious cinnamon buns even when she's wearing the Weeboh hoodie!,[/p]
[p]Changed steam invite button text from "Open Steam" to "Invite" for clarity,[/p]
[p]Added some more description texts to the Invite Screen, also for clarity,[/p]
[p]Fixed dialouges sometimes appearing in the wrong interactions,[/p]
[p]Fixed a handful of typose,[/p]
[p]Fixed Weeboh skin boost level and grappling hook visuals (Oh no, the best outfit was broken???),[/p]
[p]Emote Wheel selection will now close when in a Dialogue or when receiving an item. Emote freely without worrying about freezing the game!,[/p]
[p]Removed the wonderful but deeply troubled Weeboh Rescue challenge from the encounter pool (at least for now, might come back later).,[/p]

[p][/p][h3]Lastly, I know that you've all been looking forward to meeting Flopsy the Lovable Clown, but you'll have to wait just a liiittle bit longer for that. It'll be worth it! [/h3][p][/p][h3]See you out there in the worlds! /Riza[/h3][p][/p][p][/p]

Fast-paced platformer Haste opens the gates to chaotic co-op

The first time I saw Haste in action, I became instantly obsessed. Landfall's fast-paced platformer is a masterclass in speed and scale, and the type of game I easily lose track of time playing. If, like me, you're a fan of movement shooters and slick platformers, Haste is absolutely for you. Right now's the ideal time to jump in, too, as Landfall has just dropped co-op functionality for the game, meaning you can start flying across the screen with friends.

Big Run Together Update - ONLINE CO-OP!

[h3]Hello runners! I’m thrilled to present you with a new Haste update - this time we’re bringing you ONLINE MULTIPLAYER CO-OP!
[/h3][p][/p][p]That’s right! For a while now, the devs have said that multiplayer would be unlikely, but in secret, they’ve spent the last couple of months after release making it possible! (You have no idea how hard it’s been to keep this from you all!) ((Some of you would also say we’ve done a terrible job keeping it secret.))[/p][p]You can now play through the entire game with other Zoes! It's cooperative in that you work together to progress, but we also keep track of player times in levels, which allows for some friendly and pleasant competition.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]You can join friends through Steam's invite system or by using specific join links if you set your room privacy to public. There's no separate mode or anything, you just jump smoothly straight into their game at any point, with every shard and every part of the game playable together! Multiplayer has been designed for up to 4 players. No one will stop you from playing with a whole swarm, but you might need a fast computer and fast internet![/p][p][/p][p]The team has also added skins for Zoe, so it will now be possible to change her outfit and her hat! Skins can be bought with Antisparks from the Fashionable Weeboh, and can be shown off in multiplayer. (I’m thinking of asking for a makeover myself!) There are also special skins that can be unlocked by doing special actions, such as completing the story mode or the first level of Disaster Mode.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Other changes: [/p]

[p]Some obstacles have had their art updated, making the Agency more intimidating (and visually and technically consistent).[/p]
[p]We've added a chunk of new character interactions, revealing more of their backgrounds and keeping rest stops and coffee breaks fresher for longer! This means you can get to know me and the crew even better![/p]

[p]Fixes:[/p]

[p]Added Disaster Mode localisation for Swedish.[/p]
[p]Once again increased the chance of getting Coffee Interactions in the research outpost. Hopefully it sticks this time![/p]
[p]Hitting the pillars of one of the big Agency Platform obstacles no longer turns the main platform into an intangible death trap.[/p]
[p]Flat Item stat bonuses no longer scale with your metaprogression level for that stat.[/p]
[p]Added a missing homage to Flopsy the Lovable Clown[/p]

[p][/p][p]Also don't forget to check out our new Haste merch here![/p][p][/p][h2]See you out there![/h2][h2]- Riza[/h2][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p]

Update: New Disaster Game Mode!

[h3]Hi everyone![/h3]
I’m thrilled to share that the dev team has cooked up something extra exciting for this patch!
I’ve been told that some of you are craving an extra layer of challenge in Haste (because apparently the imminent destruction of the entire universe wasn’t enough!) so I think you’ll enjoy what they’ve got in store for you today.

Introducing…

[h2]Disaster Mode![/h2]

Ta-daa! Trust me, it’s not as scary as it sounds. It’s scarier!!

Disaster Mode is a new game mode that offers the most intense version of Haste yet!

There are 4 distinct levels of difficulty, applied to the Final Shard.
The mode adds new dynamic obstacles, such as burning Lava Flowers and more!
Various new effects are added to increase difficulty.

You need to complete the Final Shard to unlock the first level of Disaster Mode! Then, you can unlock each new level by completing the previous one.

I’m not going to give away all the mode’s secrets here (even though I reeeally want to!) so you’ll need to find out for yourself what each level has in store…

That’s it for the team’s latest updates, so now it’s time for me to share more of my favourite art from the Discord!

This gorgeous piece is by RocketPotatoL62! I love the colours!!

Ava looks so cool here! This one is by the wonderful Laesu.

Here’s one of Zoe in all her speedy glory!! Created by UpsideDown.

Well, that’s all from me for now!

[h2]I hope your next Haste run is disastrously fun![/h2]
