Santa Carrion is infesting consoles - GTOY DLC out now on Xbox and Switch!
Our beloved Master may have had some trouble navigating the console landscape, but console players could elude its frigid appendages only for so long - Santa Carrion has finally brought the Greatest Time of Year DLC over to Xbox and Switch!
As per our Master's wishes, the DLC remains free, so no excuses will be accepted - do your bidding and GO PLAY IT NOW!
Best Wishes, Santa Carrion's Devout Elven Developers (totally not controlled through Parasitism!)
P.S. While we were working on porting the DLC, we also discovered and fixed some minor bugs - hence today's update on PCs.
It's the Greatest Time of the Year!
As anyone can plainly see, the beast is a huge proponent of the holidays. Yes, consuming the flesh of those that seek to imprison you is still #1, but spending time with beast family and a white elephant gift swap is a close #2. Eh, let's call it 1a and 1b, just to stay on its good side.
To appease our gracious host and keep our free will, we've finally married its two favorite things together in a brand new level. Now listen, this ain't no weak ass, slap-a-santa-hat-on-it-style event. Alot of blood, sweat, and limbs were sacrificed to get this just the way the beast likes it. Premium products cost premium ducats. So for the low cost of three monthly installments of $9.99, I present to you "The Greatest Time of......th....HURK>>>
The Deluxe Edition bundle consists of the reverse horror indie hit CARRION, its critically acclaimed Original Soundtrack by Cris Velasco, and the brand new Deluxe Edition Content:
CARRION Digital Comic Book - written by Rob Yescombe, illustrated by Damien Worm
The Art of CARRION Art Book - featuring a peek behind the scenes, in-game art, promotional materials, and art inspired by the game
an exclusive set of CARRION wallpapers (including 4K versions!)
P.S. Don’t forget to check out the amazing mods that are starting to appear on the CARRION Steam Workshop page!
Minor Workshop Updates
Some of you might have noticed that we have published several updates in a row over the last few days. They are mostly related to the Workshop, as we still occasionally stumble upon some minor issues and missing features that need to get fixed or implemented.
Full changelog:
Added: new Lua wrappers to expose sound and music API;
Added: missing property setters in some types exposed to Lua;
Fixed: inconsequential asset paths in the mods;
Fixed: hot reload not working with user levels;
Fixed: hard crashes happening in Lua wrappers not logging any meaningful error messages;
Upgraded: SDL 2.0.10 to 2.0.12.
That's all for now. Happy modding!
Carrion Workshop Features - Open Beta
Gain early access to the new Steam Workshop integration and modding features by joining the following Steam group: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/carrion-workshop-tests The new Carrion build is now available in the beta branch on Steam (no passphrase needed) and gets new updates frequently.
The Workshop is now LIVE!
New features include:
Streamlined and safer mod loading - each mod is a self-contained hermetic package stored in a single folder and doesn't require hacking/changing the base game's resources. When the game loads a mod, it prioritizes loading the mod's resources over the base game's ones, falling back to the original assets only if necessary.
Save files stored separately for each mod allowing for fail-safe experimentation.
In-game mod browser - subscribe to Workshop items or unzip the mods into a "UserContent" folder to make them visible in the game!
User-Generated Content Toolkit shipped alongside the game's binary.
Basic Lua integration - makes it possible to add new functionality or load extra assets (check out the Streaming Avatar mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2252217602).
...and more to come!
We're looking forward to your feedback on our Discord server: https://discordapp.com/invite/phobia-game-studio Happy modding!
