Subterrain released on GOG !
Also coming to Humble Store soon! But on Humble store you will get a Steam key! ( with the same discount )
Get them before the price goes up to $16.99 after purification content update!
Purification update beta test
I am looking for the players who are willing to help us do beta testing of the coming updated content.
Please check the details here :
http://steamcommunity.com/app/340490/discussions/0/365163686050773458/
We have been thinking hard about how we will be delivering the update. And there were choice of doing DLC or just updating the original game base with the new content.
After a lot of thinking it through, we have decided not to go with the DLC and just update the original game with the content. This means that we will not be charging the existing players with the new contents. When we originally set out to do the update, we wanted existing players to not having to pay for the future updates, so this is our way of keeping the promise.
However, we have invested a significant amount of time and efforts to update the game, so we believe that the base price of the game needs to be up a little.
So after the beta testing, we would like to raise small $2 on top of our original price making it $16.99 once the update becomes official.
We want to make the update official as soon as possible and before mid April so purchasing game before that is a $2 save at least!
We will announce more detail about this soon as well.
Thanks everyone!
Update 1061
In short , it is around 70-80% complete. I am hoping to enter a polishing / testing stage from next week.
I want to make sure the update works properly and all the officially supported language's localization is done before I can switch it on to the default game.
So the current estimated time for the update completion is around 2 weeks time, depends on how fast I can work on it.
For those of you waiting for the update, thanks for waiting. It won't take too long.

Release Note : Version 1058 22 Mar 2016

Humble Widget Purchasing option.
I just want to let everyone know that Subterrain can also be purchased by Humble widget on our official website.
http://www.pixellore.com/
Default price for the game through widget is 14.50 USD at the moment. This is because there are less overhead payment involved.
For every different distribution platform, we choose to op-in for their default pricing based on USD price, so if you happen to find the widget price a little bit cheaper for your region, you may want to purchase through the widget instead. It's just a choice, you will get the same Steam key.
Thanks everyone!

Release Note : Version 1052 08 Mar 2016
- Fixed : Item duplication bug with quick slots.
- Fixed : Icon sprite position bug with Item Detail UI
Update 1042
Thanks!
Release Note : Version 1042 24 Feb 2016
BETA
- Fixed : Sometimes tram won't arrive (but you can still spawn on the platform.
- Fixed : Strange Viking plaza show cases not lootable bug. I still don't know what causes it but I have implemented safe measure to correct it after the game's load.
- Fixed : Turret status label localization position issue.
- Updated : Item description can now have line breaker. Thanks for the suggestion!
- Updated : Dragging items from inventory into tactical slots will now work regardless of the item category. This is new feature so it is subject to some bugs.
- Updated : Infection rate calculation has changed a bit. The locations has better min o2 and temperature and it has some effects on the infection rate. The old save games may have some wrong values in them. But all future new games should have this update.
Release Note : Version 1041 24 Feb 2016
BETA
- Fixed : Cancelling crafting process only returned materials for 1 item.
- Updated : Updated various localization files. Thanks guys.
We are in the middle of creating purification update. So there "could" be some bugs creeping into the game while we are adding the features and polishing them.
Release Note : Version 1040 21 Feb 2016
- Fixed : Another attempt to fix forever invasion. It should always end invasion now.
Release Note : Version 1039 20 Feb 2016
BETA
- Fixed : Another attempt to fix "Box" title for the containers. These fixes may not work properly for other types (eg dumpsters)
- Updated : Vsync option now requires a restart to prevent losing mapping on some computer.
- Updated : Attempt to make minimap rendering faster by reducing texture size from 2k to 1k. This is experimental.
- Updated : Item detail stats description can now be in multi line.
- Updated : Removed a room design that can cause disappearing of its funiture objects.
Release Note : Version 1038 19 Feb 2016
BETA
- Fixed : Player icon not disappearing when hud minimap transparency was set to 0.
- Fixed : Mine and farm queue had wrong queue limit text on level 4.
- Fixed : Wrong icon sprite for vodka.
- Fixed : Wrong icon for the crafting facilities.
- Fixed : Possible fix for localization issue for the container titles.
- Updated : Switch around crafting facilities so they are more consistent with the others.
- Updated : New wall rendering for minimap! I think part of the reason why some people are having difficult times locating the chips etc is that the minimap could sometimes be over looked so that the player was thinking they had explored the area. Now with wall rendering this confusion will be greatly reduced. However, this comes at the cost of some performance. Nothing modern pc can't handle, but it still needs to render the walls again.
- Updated : Changed fog texture format from jpg to png file. This could reduce save game size a bit in some cases and produces better loseless fog maps. This change was required for the minimap wall rendering.
New HUD minimap!
Release Note : Version 1037 16 Feb 2016
- Fixed : Fixed issue with "other" language localization and Tutorial tip texts.
- Updated : New hud minimap. This feature is experimental. There is no other info on the map other than the map and the player.
- Updated : Condensed the tactical UI and redesigned tactical slots to make more rooms for the hud minimap.

- Fixed : Controller selection issue when items moving in and out of quick slots.

- Updated : Tweaked shoot rate and damage value for all ranged weapons. Pistols and shotguns shoot faster with less damage. Pistols builds up heat quicker. SMG damage is higher for lower tier and lower for higher tier. Plasma launcher has faster firing rate for higher tier.
- Updated : Disabled cycling gathering minigun game play to properly test the new weapon balance. Sorry boys!
The new weapon balance is very experimental. So they are subject to change.

Update 1.0.2.1 Multi save options

Instead, you will now be able to select normal or autosave to load from main menu.
We also just got Spanish and Italian language support updated!
Some of the texts are lagging behind a little because I am constantly updating the game all the time. (like the multi save options above) but let's hope things are kept upto date!
HUGE thanks goes to

Vecna
For their excellent work on Spanish and Italian!
