Also, BUTCHER's slowly heading towards Nexus Mods for people who don't want to limit themselves to Steam Workshop only (which means that GOG's DRM-free version has been recently updated as well to support the level editor). Expect more info in a few days.

Still, I know that there are some fixes and tweaks needed for the editor. I'll keep improving the tool gradually over time and plan to publish some examples of more advanced scripts (in both IronPython and C#) one day. For now though, I'll give myself a short break from that to deal with other stuff.

If you had to reconfigure the gamepad all the time because the game used to mess up your bindings, we gladly announce that this annoying issue should be fixed now.

You only need to rebind your buttons one last time to get rid of the faulty values in your config file, then you should be good to go. Of course, make sure Steam updates the game first ːmurdererː

The bug manifested itself only if you used X, Y, A or B in gamepad config (excluding the initial default setting).

Do you think that there's still not enough violence in BUTCHER? Do you want to release your inner psychopath, but locking people in the basement for real is not your thing? Do you feel like you just lack proper tools?

Then guess what, that's good news for you!

A huge BUTCHER update has been released! Level editor with Steam Workshop support has been added, which gives you access to stuff not used in the base game:

• Alternative/new weapons:
  
  • Super Shotgun
  • Rocket Launcher
  • Pistol
• Items and features:
  
  • driveable police vehicle (you can get in it using interaction button)
    
  • teleporters (used for mid-level transportation, not like the gate ones)
    
  • keycards (an old feature, but not used in the base game)
    
  • checkpoints (if you activate it, next time you'll respawn at its position instead of restarting the level)
    
  • missile traps (similar to flame traps)
    
  • ...and more!
    

Have fun locking unarmed people in cages full of hungry animals!

I have to admit it. I lied.

I told everyone I didn't want to implement Steam Workshop features. But guess what, it's done now.

The editor is still available only in the BETA branch, but it will change soon.

The problem was that the native Steam wrapper I used crashed the game on callbacks and I needed to write my own lib to deal with it.

Leaderboards changes in BETA branch
It's now possible to see how your friends performed in each (official) level.



The score histogram has been changed as well. The worst scores (i.e. worse than average minus 2 seconds) are now ignored, making it readable and meaningful.



Expect more small updates coming soon.
