New Stuff

• Players can now quit during a Heist and resume from the level that they left off! No more needing to clear your schedule for those longer heists. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41074614/436554fb9b6a1e985c6523b81d26c617d213f3b4.png
• Play time is now recorded for each Heist and displayed on the summary screen, while your Best Time is permanently displayed on the Heist in the Level Select screen in the Main Menu.
• Now you can always be reminded of your impressive - or pathetic - heists.
• In multiplayer, it is no longer immediately game over when all players die: now you can all be Flushies at the same time! Get revived at a toilet by the helpful and handsome TonyBot.
• It is now possible to end a level as a flushie, so that you don't need to backtrack to revive yourself first. This will also prevent players from getting stuck in the Nuclear crate, ahem.
• When you select 'Retry' from the pause menu on the final level of a Heist, carry-through objects (such as the Nuclear Pigeon, UFO, etc) will be kept. Figured we'd go easy on ya's.

Fixed Stuff

• Fixed a bug which caused an insufficient amount of Filthy letters from spawning on the Prison Heist, preventing players from completing the objective and getting achievements.
• Fixed an issue where keycards could get stuck underneath the Military trailer as it rolled down the hill, forcing a restart.
• Fixed an issue where sombreros would spawn underwater in the first Military level, making it unreachable.
• Changed the face scanner to a button in the first military level to avoid game breaking scenarios when no NPCs are available.
• Fixed an issue where the AK would often clip through terrain.
• Fixed an issue where the ice cube on the target in the first Military level would remain in place when the target falls.
• Fixed a missing collider issue with a VAT in the first Nuclear level.
• Fixed an issue where the Revive progress circle would not render in front of some objects
• Fixed an issue with the rotation of the revive progress circle
• Fixed a bug where the door to the first toilet in the second Space mission would be locked
• Fixed a bug where the gravity indicators in the second Space mission wouldn't change
• Fixed the ramps in the first Nuclear level so that players can smoothly run up them

Hey you buncha Filthy Animals! Something new has arrived in the world of Filthy Animals. A weapon of ancient origin, so powerful it can knock a hat off someone's head from clear across a room. Introducing...the NERD GUN {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41074614/c2478f9f2723c94c679306097e472048b5efc124.gif That's right, the NERD Gun is now avaialble in Filthy Animals! You can find it randomly throughout the game dropping from purple chests. It's not as powerful as a real gun full of bullets but it's awesome and that matters more than anything. Shoot enemies, shoot scenery, shoot each other, it's NERD-tastic. We also have been hard at work patching and updating the game - here are the latest patch notes for you to peruse at your leisure! DISCLAIMER: The NERD Gun is an entirely unique original creation and has nothing to do with any other product anywhere, on any planet, in any universe.

We've done it! Filthy Animals is out now on both PlayStation and Xbox. Meaning if you want to get your hands on couch co-op chaos for your console, you can head to the Xbox store or PlayStation store to grab Filthy Animals right now! Complete with full online and local multiplayer, this is Filthy Animals at its best and we can't wait for console fans to get their hands on it. Buy Filthy Animals on Xbox Buy Filthy Animals on PlayStation But that's not all - we've been hard at work getting the game ready for release on console and that work means benefits for PC players. Today we've also launched our latest patch that not only improves a ton of stuff but also adds a brand new weapon. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41074614/6bb39a03b6225e794b6977172a52731ae222758a.jpg Here's what's new:

New Stuff

• Introducing the NERD gun! This brand new weapon has a chance to appear when smashing open purple chests. While not as powerful as a real gun, it looks and sounds cool - and what's more important than that?

Better Stuff

• The 'thought bubble' system we use for our mutant animals was previously a little heavy on the CPU. Now, we've managed to make it be handled entirely by the GPU, so players should see an increase in performance.
• Speaming of performance - we received a few reports of small framerate drops whenever Tony speaks. Tony's words are very important, so we've optimised his text and made it all more efficient.
• Jumping! We've made sure that jumping feels better and snappier than before. So if you've been struggling to make a long jump or to reach dizzying heights, try again - it should all feel a lot better now.

Bug Fixes and Stuff

• We fixed an issue where players would walk on the spot after jumping into the garbage truck. So long, running man.
• Tony sometimes had a visual issue on his face when he spoke. As Tony is undoubtably too handsome to be covered up, we had to fix this immediately. Now you can see Tony in all his glory at all times - you can relax now, Tony fans.
• Some areas have been tightened up so that critical items can no longer get stuck on the environment.

That's all for now but we're continuing to work on the game, squashing bugs, and making Fitlhy Animals more amazing. Please do keep your feedback coming, we'd love to hear what you think after this update and if you're playing on console. If you're reading this and you haven't picked up Filthy Animals yet then first - hi! And now you should go buy it. There's even a limited time offer right now!: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1195420/Filthy_Animals__Heist_Simulator/

Filthy Animals is out but that doesn't mean the work's over. We've been quashing bugs, fixing stuff, adding new things, and making Filthy Animals better than ever before. Now, with our latest patch, we've got a ton of new updates ready to share with you. We're sure you're going to love all the work we've put into our game post-launch: here's everything that's new! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41074614/9d3d416baf449d12cafa5ebc6b51836dbdd02067.png

Gameplay Stuff

Unlocking new heists just got easier - One of the key pieces of feedback we received was that some players were getting a little frustrated when trying to unlock new levels. To make this better and easier for everyone, we've reduced the number of objectives you need to complete in order to unlock the next heist from 4 to 3. Enhanced Revive Visuals - We've revamped the visuals when a player starts getting revived to make it more clear to everyone what's going on. Now you'll know exactly what's happening with your unlucky teammate who just got knocked down! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41074614/19a227478910d57bb86f6100cc01350cfbfdeb43.png Sliding Objects Are Better, More Slidey - To navigate some puzzles, objects like bookshelves or crates may need to be dragged across the floor. We've greatly improved the handling of these objects so getting through heists and successfully completing puzzles should be simpler, better, and more slidey.

Performance Stuff

Greater Network Stability - One of our primary focuses since the launch of Filthy Animals has been to make sure players can play together online with more stability and better performance. We've introduced a ton of fixes aimed at making playing online better and we're confident that players should have a much better experience with the current version of the game. Please do note that Filthy Animals uses peer to peer connections in order to connect players, so if you do encounter network issues when playing Filthy Animals as a first step check our FAQ for some troubleshooting steps. If you still experience issues after troubleshoting - let us know! Better FPS - As we work towards getting Filthy Animals on console we're undertaking a huge amount of optimisation changes. While these are primarily focused on console players, this optimisation work means PC players should also see a bump in performance.

Bug Fixes 'n' Stuff

Character Deformation - Some players might have experienced their character becoming deformed when running past or through objects. This should now be resolved. Ledge Issues in Bank 2 - If you happen fall off the ledge in the second Bank level, after respawning some characters became unresponsive. This has been fixed so you can respawn with confidence! Disappearing Flushies - A very rare issue meant that when a player's flushie could disappear from the game meaning they couldn't be revived. This has also been fixed, time to live...AGAIN! Whew! Now enough from us, go check out the update. Please note that when attempting to invite friends or when accepting an invite, all versions of the game will need to be updated to the current version in order to successfully join. This applies not only to players on Steam, but those crossplaying with players on Epic too. Do remember let us know what you think on our Discord, on our Twitter, or here on the Steam Forums. We'd love to hear from you - your feedback is helping us make Filthy Animals better and better and...BETTER!

Greetings ya Filthy Animals!

First off, we want to thank everyone who has supported us thus far. Your feedback and enthusiasm for the game have been incredible and we're thrilled to see so many players enjoying Filthy Animals. We appreciate all the suggestions and ideas players have been sharing with us on Twitter and on our Discord. A couple of patches have already been released to fix some of the most pressing issues, such as improving control, optimising performance and tweaking balance.

Multiplayer & Network issues

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41074614/8cb5fcb16f63247fc17eaab1c1e9c5fe59818e17.png We understand that some of you have been experiencing lag issues in multiplayer. We have been actively working on optimisations, namely the game's CPU usage. These improvements will result in improved frame rates and reduced lag in multiplayer. Here are some best practices:

• Filthy Animals relies on peer-to-peer networking. Therefore, we recommend that the player with the highest specs and/or the most stable internet connection hosts the session.
• While we support the use of Steam Remote Play, we recommend that all players acquire a copy of the game and use the online multiplayer feature for the best experience. We know Remote Play can introduce lag and other issues that can negatively impact gameplay.
• As with similar online games, some connection issues are out of our control. Please make sure you refer to the Steam Network Connectivity troubleshooting guide.

Improved balancing

• There are now fewer requirements to complete a level. Completing 3 objectives is enough to unlock the next heist (instead of the current 4).
• Escaping countdowns have also been extended slightly (because we're being nice)
• Adjustments were made to the Supermart and Bank levels to balance the difficulty and make sure you complete the level while having fun and progressing to the Nuclear Powerplant Level.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41074614/7fa2cd412cfb478c752087c62536f62bbc7f13f3.jpg

Other improvements

• Improvements to mouse and keyboard play, especially for those who play with high DPI (still pick up a controller for the best experience)
• 100's of stability fixes and improvements for offline and online play
• Localisations have had a large number of improvements, particularly for Simplified Chinese.
• Changed “Multiplayer” to "Online Multiplayer" in the main menu
• Rocket Pigeon coming soon.
• And more…

With the changes and improvements we've made, there's never been a better time to dive back in and see what's new. We can't wait to see you online and wreaking more havoc with your friends! And don't forget, we're constantly working on improving the game with more improvements and optimisations coming soon, so stay tuned for more updates!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41074614/a4dc9677bbf09386e6af80a7acccbb73cc14ba95.png If you've been curious about Filthy Animals | Heist Simulator then wonder no more - we're proud to announce that we've released a free demo that'll let you get your hands on the first two levels of the game. Here's what's in the demo:

• Sewers Level
• Supermart Level
• Single player and up to 4 player Local Co-Op Mode
• CHAOS!

Here's what's not in the demo:

• Online Multiplayer (Yet...)

It's a free demo! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1195420/Filthy_Animals__Heist_Simulator/ We hope that this helps you make up your mind about Filthy Animals and that you love it as much as criminal mastermind Tony Baloney loves tacos (hint: he loves them a lot). With 8 chapters and 19 more levels to play through - there's a lot of game you've not played yet!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41074614/958a0d2fee7159b31835b2150fdc98ec12fd7736.png Our playtests were an amazing experience for us, we want to thank everyone who took part and who gave us feedback about Filthy Animals. We’ve been reading everything you’ve sent and are hard at work incorporating your feedback into the game. We can’t share everything we’re working on just yet but we thought it would be cool to take a peek at some of the stuff we’re working on based on your playtests feedback.

Expanded Tutorial

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41074614/df42c523f76530327aef7e13485b1ec2a23a12d3.png One of the key notes we received during the playtests revolved around how players control their mutant animals. We already have a tutorial level - The Sewers - but we’ve decided to expand and make sure everything’s just that little bit clearer so you can get into the game with confidence. So when you run through the level you’ll be able to see holograms of mutant animals performing the actions you need to do. From picking up items and gathering loot to throwing objects and raising your mutant arms, our helpful holograms will show you exactly how to do everything. You’ll be able to replay these holograms as many times as you want and you can always restart the Sewer level from the level select screen - so if you ever forget how to play or need a reminder of a mechanic, you can fire it up and reacquaint yourself! We hope that this will help make getting started with Filthy Animals smoother and get essential gameplay info to you quicker and easier, giving you more time for crime, eating tacos, and CHAOS.

Performance Enhancements and Tweaks

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41074614/57ba23362256de9a4518df0b788fe919eb4b110e.png We know not everyone has the most powerful computer on the planet and we want to make sure as many people as possible get the chance to play Filthy Animals. One of the things we’ve been working on over the last few weeks is optimization. There are many small changes we’ve been able to make that help boost performance on all systems - especially lower-spec PCs - without compromising how the game looks and feels. There’s more work to be done regarding performance, our job isn’t finished yet, but Filthy Animals has already received a considerable performance boost - with more to come!

The Road to Release

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41074614/0a21f9702f210988a8384bdaf38fadd9b200b15e.png We haven’t announced a release date just yet but everything we’re doing is focused around getting Filthy Animals ready for launch. We’re smashing bugs, fixing little errors, and putting that final level of polish into the game. We’re incredibly excited about what we’ll be sharing with you soon, so don't forget to wishlist Filthy Animals to make sure you're up to date with all the latest news as we head towards release! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1195420/Filthy_Animals__Heist_Simulator/

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41074614/3e776bf5f88b50fb0a2a704b9997be95d2545f76.png Listen up kiddo, I got some advice for yous. If you’re gonna be working for me, you need to step it up and be on the tops of your game. I aint gots time for sleepers or slackers. It’s all about getting daddy those big bucks. Each of youses will have a special move at your disposal. All useful in their own right. Some can help you through levels, whilst some cause straight up chaos and destruction. One thing for sure, they’re all perfect to give those bad guys (or your buddies) a little 2-1-2 right in the kisser. Awwwyeah.

HOW TO ACTIVATE

After eating enough tacos your ability meter will charge up. Pretty OP when yous know how. Step 1: PICK UP MEXICAN FOOD (lean with the right analogue stick) Step 2: EAT MEXICAN FOOD (use LT or RT while holding food)

SPECIAL MOVE SHOWCASE

Take a look at the unique animals and abilities on offer. This is only the start. We would love to work with the community and add more after launch. Pig? Dog? Cat? Hippo? Sheep? T-Rex? Who knows.... CROCODILE: TAIL SPIN {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41074614/de605b4dde4490fb1fb40df96fae94d6d9207235.png Get dizzy and feel your head spinnin’ with Croc’s special.

Guaranteed destruction. MONKEY: BANANA TRAPS {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41074614/f10cd558426ab6e4d3c20595ad6c3a9d77e5d75a.png Throw down a mini monkey that throws out electrified banana skin traps.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41074614/8316c59d61bcd96959b688bbab234ee5c940b06c.png We thought it would be cool to explain a bit more about how levels work inside Filthy Animals. Each level has been created to be thematically different and introduce a brand new set of fun quirky puzzles, collectables, objectives and challenges. We have sprinkled an element of randomness into the mix too. Some of the stuff you need to find will randomly spawn each time. We’ve made it so every level feels different, and can be approached in different ways depending on your style. There are 3 different stages within each level. Internally we call these stages ‘Set Up’, ‘Heist’ and ‘Escape’ to make things easier to understand.

Set Up Phase

Here you’ll be scouting out the area and deciding on your best approach. We recommend looking for a loot bag, finding any secrets, and eating food to charge up your special abilities. The big brains of the group might also want to look for power ups. The muscles of the group might want to charge ahead and smash everything. Both ways can work. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41074614/f259509644122d8aec47e828134199b79b8a52e8.gif

Heist Phase

This is where you’ll get Tony’s big bucks. You’ll need to work together and find a way to grab as much of the loot as possible. Stay alert. There are a wide range of traps, puzzles, guards, NPCs that you’ll have to work around. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41074614/f91d87c6b18ed2a0e7daa6de616ae5d43701db5f.gif

Escape Phase

Now you’ve filled up on loot. It’s time to get the heck out of there ASAP. Tony is your trusty getaway guy. You’ll be against the clock and need to make your way to him in a series of environmental challenges or straight up brawls and fights! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41074614/e89484576264d7760320b7b586fc5f0a47644421.gif We wanted to pace things in a way that felt fun for all types of play. Whether you’re a speedrunning extraordinaire or a methodical completionist. There is fun for everyone! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41074614/09532583252bb08c691496c0cd9acc25fbcddc7e.png While there is nothing more fun than smashing your buddy over the head with a traffic cone, we still wanted the levels to be enjoyable in single player too. Every level is created from the ground up and made to adapt depending on the number of players in your team. Check out this example of a puzzle within The Temple. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41074614/99ba3fda1e76238d4f494af245684279764e22ae.png Temple Example 1: Temple heist puzzle in four player co-op, players will need to work together using the pressure pads to be able to push the pillars. Only with all pads weighed down simultaneously will the doors open. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41074614/a23333a0c474fdf081f71b42983b049bfe250737.png Temple Example 2: The same Temple heist puzzle in single player. Fewer obstacles mean a player will be able to complete the puzzle by themselves. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41074614/a504a7277830f98f8f24c8390c0a2c6db9b4c655.png Keep up with us on Twitter and Discord.

If you don’t get them up in time, just flush ‘em down the toilet and I’ll fix them up in the lab. One more thing... DO PLAY WITH A CONTROLLER. You wouldn't eat a taco with a mouse and keyboard would ya? Things are a lotta more easier with a controller, although Keyboard is supported it is not fully optimised.

We are getting closer to launching the game! Today we have some exciting news to share with everyone - we have a new publisher to help us make Filthy Animals a reality. You might have seen or heard in the press that Green Man Gaming Publishing will be working with us at Pewter Games Studios and LoPoly. Nothing is going to change in terms of development and plans for the game, it just means we’ll have the funding and support to bring Filthy Animals to a wider market and on as many platforms as possible! The team really understands the game and knows the direction we want to take it. We are approaching the final stretch of development now, and we can’t wait to bring everyone along for the ride and get you involved. As a small indie developer, it’s super important for us to hear what you all think! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41074614/f1a6d0842181e15d34b7aa8c008ac1ff43d2755e.png We are also excited to share a brand new gameplay video too!
