“Dream of Scooter Fournication” Update
It’s update time! We’re still hard at work on Wednesday content for a future update, but in the meantime, here are many of the new features we promised you in the last developer update!
The scooter no longer sucks! Not only can it handle rough terrain better, it will also go up and down curbs like a boss. Furthermore, it will no longer flip over for little or no reason, making it a joy to bumble around on. But the awesomeness does not end there! As you can now live out your wildest mobility scooter drive-by fantasies, because It’s now possible to use one handed weapons while operating the scooter. While we were there, we also improved the model and sound effects as well as adding more colour variations. You’re welcome!
We’ve had many requests to bring back the sawn-off shotgun that was included in a POSTAL 2 update back in 2013. Well, we decided to go one better – Introducing The FOURNICATOR quad-barrel shotgun!
Our ongoing mission to improve the in-game cinematics continues, and this update brings a massive improvement to the Prison Guard intro cinematic.
We had a lot of feedback that people are not too keen on how we have the weapons grouped together currently with the quick selection keys, so we’ve added the option for you guys to customize what weapons are under which numerical keyboard key on the keyboard.
We’ve included two new features that are not yet finished but are still in a good enough place to showcase. Fluids now roll down hills and slopes, and you can expect visual improvements here in a future update. We’ve added a new emote wheel, which you can activate with Alt Fire when you are not currently holding a weapon. We plan to expand on this with more dialogue and better NPC reactions in a future update.
And naturally, we’ve fixed up a lot of bugs and crashes.
Please keep on reporting bugs, giving us your feedback (We read it all and are acting on much of it) and thank you once again for your amazing support.
NOTE: We’ve switched to Vertical FOV calculations which should finally fix the problems ultra wide users were having. You may have to change your settings. Also, going forward, all saves from a previous build will be flagged red. You can still use them, but there may be problems. It’s recommended that you start a new save file to avoid issues.
===Added===
The Fournicator (Quad-barrel shotgun)
Emote Wheel!
New Scooter! The model and general usability has been greatly improved to make it a lot more fun to drive. We’ve also added the ability to use one-handed weapons whilst on a scooter as well as more color variations!
