Voltage High Society News

Thank you all for your feedback and overwhelming support! It means a lot and it helps us to prioritize where to focus next.

We are currently testing the patch #2. It should fix a lot of known bugs and add new stuff too.

Stay tuned!

Hello! We´ve been reading through the comments, reviews, and messages & plan to address what is there. For the first patch, we´ve included...

[h3]Options[/h3]

• Screen: Brightness, FOV, Resolution, Full Screen
  
• Nausea: ON/OFF toggles for Pixel filter, Lens Distortion, Camera Tilting
  
• Controls: Aim Sensitivity and Invert Axis
  
• And a volume slider!
  

[h3]Bug Fixes[/h3]

• Fixed spawning outside world bounds (if you still do it somehow, notify us)
  
• Added some extra colliders to places people have gotten stuck to
  
• Flashlight + Energy malfunction on resume game
  
• UI element malfunctions on resume game
  
• Fixed missing mesh surfaces on world geometry in the streets
  
• Fixed framerate drops near fire etc FX
  

[h3]Other Adjustments[/h3]

• Instead of going completely black, the flashlight starts to flicker when out of Energy
  
• The world lighting is brighter!
  
• Scraps can be retrieved after you die, Dark Souls-style
  
• Added a Business Lizard to the early part of the game
  
• Polished performance settings (LODs, draw distances, light behaviour, game engine settings) for some smoothness
  

[h3]First[/h3]
We intend to add full gamepad support (they WORK but some menus glitch etc, its not comfortable right now...), and key bindings. We also have a list of bugs or nuisances you've discovered that we mean to address. We'll roll out stuff in the coming week. There's also a pretty cool unannounced feature related to the music, that Jesse is working on.. but we´ll keep that a secret for now. It'll surely improve the dynamics of the game a LOT.

[h3]Then the juicy stuff[/h3]
After the worst of gameplay, bugs, UX is sorted out, we´ll start working on the next big update! And that'll mean a new large level, a new batch of enemies, and new upgrades to kill monsters with! There's plans, there's some wip code.. we´ll most likely discuss this in the community as we go.

Keep on punching!

Hi,

Thank you all for your reviews, feedback and comments!

We've read them all and we´re working on updates. Here's a quick rundown on what to expect. We just have to test this properly before releasing it and that might take until tomorrow.

[h3]Options[/h3]

• Resolution, FOV settings, brightness, and full screen toggle
  
• Aim sensitivity and invert look
  
• FX toggles (like the screen distortion that bothers some players)
  

[h3]Bug Fixes[/h3]

• Respawning outside map boundaries
  
• Flashlight doesn't reset
  
• Getting stuck on the fridge just before the bossfight
  
• Flashlight and Energy meter malfunctions
  

[h3]Other Adjustements
[/h3]

• Flashlight will flicker instead of going totally off, when out of Energy
  
• Enemies are a few punches easier
  
• Scraps can be retrieved after death
  

+ There's other stuff we want to address and adjust, but these are for the initial patch.

Keep the feedback coming!
