SO HOT!
THE "JIMSAW" UPDATE (v1.061)
Hey Killers!
Hope you all had a safe and Happy Halloween. We've been working hard this week to clean up some bugs but also to add in some cool new stuff as well. When we saw Jim Sterling play Slayaway Camp before Halloween it blew our minds. We wanted to give him a little thank you gift so voxeled up a little Slayaway Camp Jimsaw Killer based on his original character. Well he loved it and was cool with putting it in the game for you guys, so... WE DID THAT!
You can now unlock Jimsaw Killer from the Mystery Box!
NEW STUFF!
NEW MYSTERY KILLER! Jimsaw Killer...
NEW BONUS KILL! Flip the Ultra-Gravity Switch 9000.
NEW BONUS KILL! Roasting faces on the campfire.
NEW BONUS KILL! Bird of death and destruction.
BUGS SMASHED
You know how the controller had some bugs? Well lots of those bugs are gone now. This time, even more of them are gone than we realized. There are still some small things we want to improve but for now REVEL IN THE GLORY THAT IS YOUR GAMEPAD USAGE!
We had a terrible bug where you could grind away coins in the Faces of Killed 3 bootleg snuff tape of constant death, only to rage quit due to not being able to make it past 26 kills YET AGAIN. Then you'd start the game and find that all those glorious skull coins were not actually saved and so you would weep 1000 tears. Well, coins now save properly after playing Faces of Killed 3.
Hey you macabre spendthrift shoppers buying all the Gorepacks, Gorepack achievements now unlock retroactively, so if theres one you didn't get it should unlock the next time you start the game up for some slayage!
Movie achievements are no longer "progress bar achievements" but are now straight up golden shiny normal type achievements. Bask in the glory that is their awesomeness.
If, for some crazy reason you were watching a kill cutscene while getting shot in the face a bunch of times by a SWAT Cop, your killer might have got stuck, unable to move another step due to the insanity that had just occurred... that was unintentional on our part, so we fixed it and it shouldn't happen anymore.
You know those dirty dirty censored shower scenes you get as a reward for unlocking the NC17 version of all the movies? Well they were SOOOO censored for a few select people that they would wouldn't let you UNWATCH them. This was entirely due to the Canadian Film Censorship Corporation Bureau. We have put in an appeal for this to be rectified and they have allowed us to submit this new fix which no longer glitches when you are viewing said cutscenes. Do enjoy them.
Also we did some bug and graphical fixes for some NC17 levels.
Plus some minor graphic fixes.
Plus some more minimal bug fixes.
Plus a few wee lil itty bitty baby sized text fixes.
HAPPY SLAYING EVERYONE! Don't forget to write a review if you've been enjoying your experience with the game! Have a great weekend. :)
"HALLOWEEN" UPDATE (v1.04)
HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!
We wanted to thank every single one of you for an amazing launch week as we scream our way into the Halloween weekend. We've got some great new updates for Slayaway Camp which should help you get into the Halloween spirit (as if slashing up blocky cartoon teenagers wasn't already enough!)
NEW STUFF
NEW BONUS KILL: Machete to the Heart
NEW BONUS KILL: Nail Bat
NEW UNLOCKABLE GOREPACK: Pumpkin to the Face
NEW MYSTERY KILLER: Really Spooky Ghost - The most horrifying spectre of the purest terrifying death.
NEW MYSTERY KILLER: Rupert S. Pumpkins - His name is Rupert S. Pumpkins. Any questions?
BUG FIXES
Minor tweaks and fixes to gamepad controls, still trying to smooth things out, we have a little bit left to go, but this should help keep things feeling snappier.
Some minor text / hint / level name changes to make sure our usage of the english language is something we can be proud of and would get an A+ for if we were to turn it in to an English teacher.
Other very minor graphical and interface type fixes and adjustments. This stuff is probably bordering on obsessive compulsive disorder, but I refuse to truly admit that. It 100% has to do with making the game the best experience it can possibly by and if adjusting text by one pixel or making it turn a different color when something happens is what it takes to get it there BY LUCIFERS BEARD WE ARE GOING TO STAY UP ALL NIGHT DOING THAT FOR YOU!
Have a safe and fun Halloween everyone, thank you so much for your continued support - don't forget to write a quick review to tell us what you think!
THE "INFERNO" UPDATE (v1.03)
Hey Killers,
Made some quick fixes for a few things that were causing us to lose some sleep. We wanted to get some of this technical stuff out of the way so we could focus on finishing up a proper FUN update for Halloween (Coming soon!) with a few new kill animations and an awesome new Halloween killer.
NEW(ish) CONTENT
Ok ok ok it's not really new but by popular demand we have added FLAC formatted audio files to the Official Game Soundtrack in the DLC Pack. You should just have to exit out of Steam and restart it for the DLC to download the extra FLAC files in the soundtrack folder, now.
BUGS FiXED
"THE BASKETBALL DIE-ARIES" UPDATE (v1.02)
NEW FREE CONTENT FOR YOUR EYEBALLS!
A New Killer Approaches! Save up your SkullCoins and unlock a new psycho killer from the Mystery Box. We're not even going to say who it is... It's THAT SECRET!!!
Deadly Basketball Bonus Kill: Smash off a victim's head with a horrifyingly deadly pass of an average regulation-sized basketball.
Gardening Shears Bonus Kill: Trim those extra leaves and branches off your victims with these freshly sharpened Gardening Shears.
SOME BUGS WERE FIXED
Trap-related Achievements were being sneaky and not unlocking when they should have been. We have since told them off and threatened them with violence. They should now be unlocking correctly.
Gorepack-related achievements were also being shy and may have not unlocked correctly if you were playing during the Beta test. Well, worry no more... they should now unlock retroactively on game load.
The gruesomest bootleg VHS tape ever made: Faces of Killed 3 no longer unlocks again after re-entering shelf scene. Yes.
The zoomed out / overhead view was a little tight on some levels and the buttons on the bottom would overlap the level map a bit. Well... worry no more, because that has been fixed.
We have made many improvements to the controller support to hopefully allow for wide gamepad support and eliminate bugs and crashing with specific hardware / setups. If you are still having issues, feel free to let us know... also let us know which hardware manufacturer made your gamepad so we can send Skullface to their factory to oversee the quality assurance.
Rewinding moves that included a trap-cutscene would replay said cutscene until you finally figured out the puzzle surrounding said trap. This has been changed so that trap-related cutscenes will only replay once after restarting a level, not on every rewind.
A few puzzles had minor bugs fixed throughout them to ensure MAXIMUM KILLFICIENCY.
A few minor graphical glitches were resolved for MAXIMUM LOOKFICIENCY
