Hey POSTAL Fans!

This time around, we figured it was probably time we started to get a hold on the various common and uncommon crashes that you guys have been getting, as a few have popped up over the last few updates. The game should now be much more stable for most of you!

We also finally included the gamepad menu so you lunatics can invert your analog stick axis. The terrain has been given a fresh lick of paint, and work has been done on ambient sounds within buildings.

In the update we hope to bring you some more performance improvements - especially when there are a lot of NPCs on screen.

Hey there POSTAL fans!

So a question that’s being asked A LOT is ‘When the hell are the other days coming?’

As those of you who bought the game (last October in order to support us) will remember, that it was released in a very barebones state. Basic normal fundamentals such as key rebinding and a save system were missing, and the performance was SHIT. The AI was undercooked and behind that of even POSTAL 2’s, and we didn’t even have a basic police system in place. The art style was incoherent and many buildings and models were placeholders or needed texture work. We had a lot of friggin work to do.

Until we fixed and implemented a bunch of that shit, it didn’t make any sense to expand the game (REMEMBER, we’re a small team). NOT ANYMORE BABY!!! Work on expanding the map and implementing Tuesday’s errands is in full swing. This does not mean we’re done with improving performance, AI, art and adding things to improve the errands on Monday itself, it just means we are mostly prioritizing getting you guys more content to experience and a bigger world to explore. That said, there is another performance update coming in the not too distant future!

Tuesday will start to see the game getting more outrageous and we hope you’ll enjoy some of the more interesting gameplay mechanics we have planned.

We’d give you an ETA, but then we’ll probably miss that date and look stupider than we already do - but the plan is to release everything related to Tuesday at the same time. The introduction, the new areas, the errands/side errands and the end of day cinematics.

Thank you all for your support in helping us get this far, the Early Access experience has been a pleasure for our team and we’re truly excited to get you new content.

Running With Scissors Team

In this update we introduce the natural evolution of the cat silencer - The Cat grenade! Combine a cat with a grenade, target and NPC, and watch as kitty bolts it towards them, to then explode on impact.

Another nice improvement in this update is the NPC AI. In some areas (such as the main street at the start) NPC’s now go about their lives with more purpose rather than milling about aimlessly. For example, one might wander into the Laundromat, check on their washing, then sit down and check their phone while they wait, or maybe go and pass the time at the arcade. This system is in the early stages of implementation so not all areas have had this treatment yet, but we will improve upon it with each passing update as well as adding expanded actions and animations.

And finally, we have totally redone the roads around town to look better and have better collision with NPCS.

No major performance updates have been made in this update (other than inside the prison). A renewed push for that is coming soon, focusing on NPCs and dismemberment that will reduce the drawcalls by 70%.

A tickbox that should fix the muddy texture issue some users are having. It’s recommended you only tick this option if you are having the muddy textures issue. This removes the need to enter console commands
