Bloodthief News

Another small patch coming your way - More to come throughout the week!

• Major optimization: Fixed a bug that was putting a ton of load on the CPU. If you were experiencing consistent lag before, it may be much improved now
• Fixed a bunch of bad geometry that lead to being able to see through walls in some levels
  
• Fixed random walls that hurt you in some places
  
• Fixed random lavas that didn't hurt you in some places
  
• Improve geometry in 1-4 so you can't clip through to the end
  
• Fixed issue where lb times in Sandbox weren't submitting
  
• Fixed a few broken item descriptions
  
• Fixed issue where beating the Sandbox level showed you the end credits
  
• Fixed issue where sometimes you submitted a strange and large time into the leaderboards
  

Thanks,
Blargis

[/h2][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]Thank you all for the support over the last 2.5 years![/p][p][/p][h2]What's Next?[/h2][p]I'll be supporting the game and looking to the community to see what kind of features folks want added. Right now that looks like mapping / modding support. But let me know what you think in the Discord Server or in the Community forum! [/p]

[p][/p][p]Bloodthief launches in about 24 hours (Monday, Sept 22 at 10 AM PST), just wanted to do a post and give you all some key details[/p][p][/p][h2]PRICE[/h2][p]Price will be: $19.99 USD with regional adjusted pricing + a 10% launch discount[/p][p][/p][h2]MOST IMPORTANT: UPDATE YOUR GPU DRIVERS[/h2][p]AMD 25.8.1 Driver had a number of issues with many games, Bloodthief included. If you currently have this driver installed, Bloodthief may not work! Update your drivers to the latest (right now that is 25.9.2).[/p][p][/p][p]Nvidia Driver 576.52 is also known to give a lot of folks issues. If you use Nvidia and have this driver installed, update your drivers!

[p][/p][p][/p][h2]STEAM DECK / CONTROLLER SUPPORT[/h2][p]Yes Steam Deck and controllers are supported (steam gave it a "Playable" rating), BUT, I highly recommend playing with Mouse Keyboard as Bloodthief is very difficult with the joysticks. I'm thinking of adding some sort of auto-aim feature for joysticks post launch, drop me a message in the discussion boards or on discord if you want this![/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]BLOODTHIEF OST[/h2][p]It will be for sale soon after launch![/p][p][/p][h2]WHAT HAPPENS TO THE DEMO?[/h2][p]Demo progress will not transfer over, but the demo will remain available and the demo leaderboards will remain intact (though they will be completely separate from the full game leaderboards).[/p][p][/p][h2][/h2][h2]WHERE TO GET SUPPORT[/h2][p]Best place to get fast support would be the Discord Server, this is where the Bloodthief community is! But I'll be monitoring the discussion boards and the discord server for issues. You can also email me at [email protected] [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]That's all for now! [/p][p]-Blargis[/p][p][/p]
