We would like to share our plans for the next update, along with an insight into what we have been working on over the last couple of weeks.
First of all, with each update we aim to provide you guys with more things to do on the island. As part of this update, we are in the process of implementing an additional storyline which will uncover more of the islands lore, and in turn feed into some of our larger story updates in the future.
We will introduce a save system to save your game progress before quitting, however we are maintaining the hard-core elements of the game, with your save file being deleted upon death.
We will also be making improvements to combat, with new animations and behaviours as well as continued improvements to the overall balancing of the game.
In the meantime, we thought we would wet your appetite with some teaser shots for the new storyline!
We will be posting regular updates so keep an eye on this page, Twitter and Facebook.
Thanks,
The Burning Arrow Team
Art Development Streaming on Twitch

Update V0.1
Hey Everyone,
We want to start off by thanking you for being so active in the forums and proactive in leaving reviews.
For this patch the biggest change is a completely new combat system for keyboard and mouse. We have implemented a directional combat system that utilises the buttons on the mouse rather than physical movement to dictate which direction you want to attack in. This new system will still give you a tactical combat system, but is far more responsive and uses common controls.
We have also improved the combat tutorials and have implemented a delay which will guarantee that all tutorials are on screen for a given amount of time.
These are just some of the changes which you can find in the latest update. For a full list of changes made in this update please see the changelog below.
We can’t wait to continue working with you all to fulfil the potential of The Other 99. As always please post your feedback and bug reports in the forums and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
Thanks,
The Burning Arrow Team

Patch One Coming This Week!
Greetings Everyone!
First of all: We’d like to apologise for the length of time since our last major forum update. We’ve been hard at work during the last weeks and days to improve the game as fast as possible, but rest assured, we are reading every post, comment and review.
The strongest and most consistent feedback we’ve received from you guys is about our combat system. When creating The Other 99, we wanted to try something fresh and new with the combat, given that first person melee combat isn’t an area that has been widely explored in survival games yet. What we created is something that we feel still works quite well with a gamepad, but lacks the level of control and feedback which players expect from keyboard and mouse on a PC game.
As such, we are trying a different approach, and creating a new system which should feel more natural to keyboard and mouse players. On top of a change of controls, we are also re-evaluating the strategy and difficulty behind the system, to try and create a compelling experience with every combat encounter. We will keep updating and iterating this system, based on your feedback and issues, going forward - this update should be available in the coming week.
Beyond the combat system changes, we are also fixing some of the smaller issues which people have raised: graphics settings not saving correctly, not all graphics resolutions represented, no mouse sensitivity controls etc. and these will also be included in the upcoming update.
We hope this patch goes some way to resolving the major issues with The Other 99 so far, and that you, the players, stick with us while we work to try and improve the game. As always, keep letting us know your feedback through the forums, and look forward to plenty of future updates.
Thanks,
The Burning Arrow Team

And as you can see in the headline already it will be July 11. Save the date cause on that Monday you will start your survival journey. On that day, the other 99 will start hunting you down. On that day, we'll finally get the game into your hands. And on that day we'll finally hear your first feedback.
