Minor Bug Fix - Build 1.3.1
Hello Murderous Pursuers,
Don't get too excited! Our next update isn't out until the end of July but meanwhile we're still working hard on fixing all of those niggly little bugs.
There is a minor change between this version and 1.3.0:
The new target lock icon should now appear correctly with medium and low graphics settings applied.
As one of most requested features to be added to the game by you, we hope that you’ve been enjoying being able to target your foes with accuracy and precision!
Don’t forget, our June update went live last week which includes the free for all game mode, a new map, brand new perks system and more.
Thank you to everyone who continues to support Murderous Pursuits, you can follow us on our social accounts to keep up with the latest news:
Grab your weapons and brace yourselves, our third update has landed! From an additional game mode to a brand new perks system, Update 3 provides you with an even fuller Murderous Pursuits experience and more ways to impress Mr. X
Enjoy! ːsteamhappyː
PATCH NOTES 1.3.0
FEATURES
Chrono Capacitor Level Deep down in the Brittanic's underbelly is the Chrono Capacitor, the technological marvel that allows the ship to travel through time itself. What better spot for some murderous fun?
Free-For-All game mode Mr X has grown weary of simply giving you one quarry to kill to satisfy his bloodlust, but be cautious as everyone else now also has their eye on you... Free-For-All mode makes all players in the game a valid target!
Target Lock You asked for it, you got it! Lock on to other players from distance or in a crowd using the right mouse button, so your killing blow no longer finds an unwanted target.
Perks System Perks will passively alter how your game plays, from always spawning with a 5 favour weapon to respawning as a random character whenever you are killed.
Disrupt Ability Scramble the HUD of nearby players so they won't see you coming with this devilishly delightful new ability.
New Model Swaps Introducing the Soothsayer and Moujik on board H.M.C.S. Brittanic to enjoy the sights and sounds only a humungeous time traveling flying ship can provide. Well... until you murder them, of course.

Cinco de mayo promotion for all TSR (and The Ship) owners!
¡Hola Amigos y Enemigos!
¡Feliz cinco de mayo!
We’re big fans of a party! It’s time to celebrate Cinco de Mayo.
To get the fiesta started, we are giving all owners of The Ship and The Ship Remasted 15% off our latest game, Murderous Pursuits. Muchas Gracias for your support all these years.
Murderous Pursuits is our NEW game – here are a few ways its different from its predecessor:
Uno: A stealthier game! Random killing will get you absolutely nowhere. Use your cunning skills, watch, learn, and use your abilities to the best of…well, your ability.
Dos: Multiple hunters and a continuous kill loop A quarry tracker will help you evade your hunters and locate your quarries.
Tres: 3rd Person (vs.1st person in The Ship) Changing the gameplay significantly by allowing you to scan the room looking for your quarry without moving and being caught by your hunter.
Cuatro: No need for “Needs”! Love it or hate it, Murderous Pursuits doesn’t have the need for “Needs”. It’s less SIM-like and you won’t need to run for a bathroom break mid-kill.
Cinco: No need for Doors, have a pie instead. Why? Because why not. Blend in with NPCs and have a pie while you wait for the kill.
No time for a hangover: Get your Cinco de Mayo gift of 15% off before it expires in 10 days. Find it in your Steam inventories.
…And Feliz cinco de mayo!
