POSTAL 4: No Regerts News

Hey there POSTAL fans!

You’re probably wondering why the game updates have slowed down in recent weeks! It's because we are working our asses off towards POSTAL 4’s biggest single update to date: The addition of Tuesday!

This update will almost double the size of the playable area and give you 4 new errands, all of which are VERY different than the ones found on Monday. Those of you that feel the Errands on Monday were not outrageous enough for a POSTAL game just might cream your jeans at what's coming!

Due to the amazing Early Access response, we have been able to invest significantly more into development and grow the team - we’re now almost 30 members strong having taken on 8 new members in the last month alone, some coming directly from working with AAA studios! Most of their work is tied up in the Tuesday update so it has yet to filter through to you guys - but it’s CUMMING!

Finally, we just want to reassure everyone that once Tuesday hits, major updates (Wednesday) will not take nearly as long and we will NOT be in Early Access forever. When we launched POSTAL 4 in Early Access we had a much smaller team and had a lot of work to do to implement many fundamental features that were missing at launch. We have a STRICT ‘no crunch’ policy at RWS and this means things will take longer than they would if we were uninterested in the welfare of our staff, so we thank you for your understanding and patience.

As always, thanks for the support and for being an excellent community for us to work for. Stay safe out there, and USE A BIDET! Remember - A Clean Ass is a Happy Ass!

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.
