Inspector Schmidt - The Ebbing News

- Fixed some problems with Achievements
- Fixed a softlock in the Black Sheep Quest
- Changed the startup scalability settings to make sure faceanimations are displayed properly
- Disabled old savegames from the demo and prolog
- Fixed a bug where the transition from one dialog to the next could break

The big day has finally arrived: Our second game sees the light of day and is available NOW on Steam. We are incredibly proud, excited to see how you like it - and very, very tired. :D

Nevertheless, our release party with the whole team is about to start on Discord! From 17:30 (UTC+1) we will celebrate ourselves, play a part of the game and then join a few streamers who will stream Inspector Schmidt - The Ebbing live on Twitch. We would love to have you join us!

This way to the release party!

Of course, we'd be even happier if you gave the game a go yourself and left us a review on Steam. Our bug channels on Discord and Steam are also open and await your reports. As always, we try to fix bugs as quickly as possible and are very grateful for your feedback.

Our roadmap for the following months:

• Controller Support
  
• Steamdeck Support
  
• Improvement of the Beta Language Versions
  
• Porting for XBox
  
• Porting für PS 5
  
• Platt voice overs
  
• Upgrade to Unreal 5.5
  
• 
  

But for now: Cast off, off to Havstedt!

Best regards from the
Active Fungus Team

By the way, if you haven't wishlisted the game yet, now is the perfect time. The Steam algorithm pushes games that have a lot going on on the Steam page in the week before release.

Feel free to tell your friends about us - we appreciate any support!

⚓ Are you going to be there to watch? ⚓

In today's video, Elli and Julia talk about how we animate our characters in Inspector Schmidt - The Ebbing. Which programs do we work with? Why do we need to be careful not to get lost in detail? Why is efficiency the most important skill as an indie dev?

Have fun watching!
