OUTBUDDIES BUILD 1.58 IS LIVE!

Hey Guys!

We're currently porting Outbuddies to consoles and this update makes sure you get all the fixes and improvements too. Also, we now have a windowed build available in the beta tab (see below!).

Change Log April 2020 updates (Build 1.57 & 1.58)

New Features

• Steam rolling in Homunculus form will now maintain the stance. If you also have the Spin Blade equipped (extra i-frames), you can now dash while rolling into lava or acid
• Boss names are now displayed over their health bars
• A bigger chunk of the Corridium Mines is now open to be explored in the early game

Design Fixes

• Nikolay‘s face now is darker, giving him a more badass look
• Performance optimizations, done in the process of porting the game to consoles
• Some more asset and sprite improvements
• Rebalancing of missile drops: Picking up one missile item will now restore 3 missiles
• Rebalancing of rescued Wozan spawning during boss fights with health drops
• Achievements now unlock directly during gameplay, in case you're playing offline, they'll be dragged from local saves and transmitted on the next reboot
• Implemented input buffers for executing the Steam roll: It will now also trigger if you‘ve just leaped over an edge or if the input is a little early before landing. This also fixes the issue of accidentally activating the jetpack in heated combat situations that some players reported

Bug Fixes

• Game menus are restored after minimizing the game.
• Fixed a rare bug that could corrupt the map save-file.
• Minimizing the game during the final dialogue could freeze the game

A windowed build is now available in the Steam beta-tab. This had been requested by a couple of players and streamers in the last weeks.

For loading it go to: Outbuddies --> right click --> properties --> betas --> Choose "windowed build".

The windowed build will boot-up in a 720p window and can be maximized to fit your desktop resolution. The windowed build is identical to the fullscreen build, besides CoOp mouse control not being available for Buddy and a fixed camera.

I wish you all the best and I hope you all take care during the pandemic!

Best, Julian
