Streets of Rogue 2 News

• Reduced RAM usage by a bit, but a more sizeable reduction will be coming in a future update. I didn't add it to this one because its effects on world generation would invalidate existing saved worlds. I'll be working toward a solution of keeping existing worlds intact when such changes are made to world gen.
  
• World generation loading has a consistently decent frame rate without any massive spikes. This will hopefully solve issues some players had with the game crashing during world gen.
  
• Reduced world generation time by about 50%
  
• Fix for chunks loading a second time when the player returns to the title screen, resulting in increased RAM usage.
  
• Fix for cases where world generation could get stuck at 30% due to issues with placement of large cities
  
• Fix for black void appearing upon loading certain saved games, due to quest-related error
  
• Fix for keys and safe combinations not always being loaded properly when the player quits the game and returns
  
• Fix for Mayor Hat being un-retrievable if the Mayor fell down a hole, it will teleport out of the hole (this will be dealt with in some other way in the future)
  
• Fix for gang members getting teleported out of the player's view when their fellow gang members leave the play area. This was also responsible for cars getting stuck when driving with certain NPCs.
  
• Fix for quest location icons not zooming in and out on the map if the player had previously discovered that location
  
• Fix for player not being able to drag and drop inventory items in keyboard/mouse mode
  
• Fix for Hacker NPC not properly hacking Car for the player to drive
  
• Fix for player stat boosts carrying over permanently when saved games are loaded
  
• Fix for Trash Cans and other environmental objects appearing next to homes that the player has built
  
• Fix for a bunch of animal interactions being possible that didn't make sense
  
• Fix for incorrect website link on title screen
  
• Recipes for which the player has crafting ingredients appear at the top of the crafting list
  

• Fix for timing-related issue that caused players to start the game stranded in the middle of the ocean
  
• Fix for players being able to access coop menus via the gamepad (it didn't work by the way, no need to save your old builds).
  

• Partial gamepad support added - Gamepad is usable for most aspects of the game, with the exception of home-building and most content in the menu system
  
• Loads of localization fixes all over the place, all Chinese and Russian font issues should be fixed
  
• Fix for not being able to delete characters
  
• Fix for the player being able to teleport their car into Mayor's Office (I may add this back in as a special skill)
  
• Fix for Keycard to Mayor Office elevator not always working
  
• Fix for issues with people who are arrested and sent to Police Boxes not being fully "cleared" from the game
  
• Fix for NPCs refusing to exit car when brought too close to the outdoor Police Box
  
• Certain items no longer appear in shops. I'm talking about items that the player really shouldn’t have
  
• Animals no longer animate while frozen
  
• Fix for title screen image not appearing when the player returns to the main menu
  
• Fix for error when speaking to upper-level Clerk in Mayor’s Office
  
• NPC Enforcers will not attack an NPC that the player (also an Enforcer) has tased or made dizzy
  
• Fix for NPC hostility issue based on an incorrect assumption that player is hostile toward someone
  
• Fix for player being able to interact with NPCs on the ground as if they were alive
  
• Fix for player being able to Imprison dead NPCs
  
• Fix for certain in-game sprites not appearing within text meshes
  
• Various tooltip text fixes
  
• Fix for ammo count not appearing at the top of the screen
  
• Fix for error relating to NPCs getting out of cars
  
• Fix for NPCs sometimes gaining a shop inventory that they weren't supposed to have
  
• Various art fixes and changes
  
• Credits list added
  

• Fix for food recipes not appearing properly
  
• Fix for Korean text not appearing properly
  

I punched a cultist in the face in Streets Of Rogue 2, just because. He started running away - something I would not allow. When another robed cultist spotted what was happening, he tried to intervene, and a kind of Benny Hill pursuit chain began. We ran across a beach, through public toilets, and into the surf. In the end I had to knock them both out. As they lay unconscious, I worried they might soon wake and tell someone what I had done. This can't happen, I hate accountability. I punched their unawake bodies toward the sea in an effort to float the evidence away. But after a few punches the first man exploded into chunks of flesh. I am a murderer now. I was supposed to be a chef.

Streets Of Rogue 2 has a demo out for Steam Next Fest, and while a lot of features are locked up behind the word "UNAVAILABLE" in red font, there's still quite a lot of mischief for you to get up to.

• [h3] 🎮 The Streets of Rogue 2 Island Alpha Demo is OUT NOW, just in time for Steam Next Fest![/h3]
  

  [h3]Download it from the game's 👉Steam page👈[/h3]

• 📅 Streets of Rogue 2’s Early Access release is moving from October 22 to some other point in the near future. Keyword “near”, we don’t intend for this to be an enormous wait. The exact date will be announced closer to launch.
  

• The demo includes a small chunk of the game world featuring content that may or may not be included in the full release. You’ll be playing on an island away from the main landmass where the game takes place.
  
• The goal of the demo is to take down the Mayor or otherwise gain their favor. However, you’re free to pursue other goals if you please.
  
  
  
• You’ll have access to a small selection of character classes, allowing you to tackle the content from multiple angles.
  
• The world is randomly generated, though the key features of the island will be similar on each playthrough.
  
• I will try to slip in some mutators before release or shortly after.
  
• The demo has partial controller support, full support will be implemented in the demo later.
  
• Local co-op support is also not in the demo initially but will be added after release.
  
• Online multiplayer is also not available in this demo.
  
• I’ll continue updating the demo up to the Early Access release based on feedback from players and other changes that I’m making to the full game.
