Hey everyone!

First of all, we’d like to give a massive thank you to everyone who has supported KILLBUG so far! The top players are NOT messing around and it’s incredible to see. (You’re so much better than us and we’re totally not salty about it.)

[h3]We’re releasing a FREE content update! [/h3]



[h3]The Blood for the Deceiver update will be available on June 19th, PDT.[/h3]

We can't share too many details right now, but the wait is almost over. In addition to the Steam achievements and input rebinding that heaps of you have been asking for, there's a BUNCH of fun stuff coming in this update.

We’ll be streaming a launch event in our Discord server on June 19th, 4pm PDT, so tune in if you’re keen to check out the new update, see old KILLBUG development builds, and ask the devs some questions!

Join our Discord to party with us!

We hope you're all as keen for the update as we are.

Much Love,
Samurai Punk

Nick from Samurai Punk here.

We've pushed another small update resolving a few issues people have found since launch. I want to thank everyone for reporting bugs and for sending feedback.

I also wanted to address some questions people had about the game's future. We can confirm we're working on new things for KILLBUG! First off input rebinding and achievements are both on their way. As for the core gameplay we're developing some secret stuff that will release in the same update.

Fixes

• Fixed issue where using melee immediately after coming off cooldown would not apply damage
  
• Fixed issue where all options in a tab would be non-interactable when opening the options menu sometimes
  
• Fixed issue where applying option changes would cause the screen to refresh if you'd previously changed resolution or fullscreen settings this session
  
• Simplified resolution and fullscreen choices
  
• Speculative fix for brightness being very low on HDR enabled monitors
  
• Fixed colour of Xbox A and B buttons being backwards
  

Much Love,
Samurai Punk
