It's Only Money news & patch notes

Citizens of Rockhaven, the esteemed Mayor graciously declares a 30% Daily Deal on It's Only Money - a gesture of pure generosity. This incredible offer applies to both the main game and the exclusive Founders Edition - because everyone deserves a piece of Rockhaven, even you. This Daily Deal ends on Monday, 27th October. So, act quickly, before we decide you don’t need it after all. In addition, our glorious developers (under strict orders from the Mayor) streamed the game this week, providing a glimpse into the chaos of Rockhaven. You can find this broadcast on the store page. Go and witness the brilliance of our city in action. Remember, this offer may never come again… or maybe it will. We decide. Warmest of regards, The Mayors Office

Undercitizens, the day is here. It's Only Money is graduating from Early Access to a 1.0 release, and with this update comes a lot of features we're excited to discuss. Before we tuck in to the new stuff, we'd like to spend a moment reminiscing of our Early Access journey. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/1af9b4d010d90c2125bd90df70e2809490c63128.png Since our launch into Early Access with Chapter Zero, we've gathered feedback and ideas from the community and divvied big ticket items into major updates, culminating with a new chapter full of major improvements and new systems. Whether it's the earliest overhaul of the vitals system, improved house customisation systems, vehicle purchasing or even hidden collectables like the Bogan Balloons, we've had a ton of fun taking your feedback and doing our best turning them into tangible features in It's Only Money. Additionally, when we get reports for crashing and performance issues, we've done our best to assess and fix where possible - and we understand, there's always more to do. We encourage those reports to keep coming. All that to say, thank you for joining us on our journey so far. Your help as a community has been invaluable and we truly hope at some point along the Early Access timeline we've made one or two things that you've really loved in Rockhaven. With all that out of the way, let's dig into some of the key content and features that arrive with the 1.0 update: Takeover: Rockhaven City {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/f0fe5f8dab87af3c2b5aa8dafb618bcbfdcd8ad4.gif The Mayor arc is coming to a close. It's time to take the fight directly to that pesky little Mayor who threw you and many others underground. As is tradition for Takeover missions, these are our larger more cinematic missions that deliver story exposition and new mechanics. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/a47953685ede712b92f0de044141194f49b56a9e.gif We don't want to spoil too much about this one other than it's an explosive resolution to the story that started in Chapter Zero. Give that Mayor one from us. EXP System and Modifiers {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/c850e75500e85659709b1f76931da135afb8b070.png With our work in Chapter Three, we explored rogue-like elements with the Metro Dungeon and MOVR HQ Takeover. We found it a lot of fun to break the game with OP stats and abilities and we thought why not give the players the power in general. Starting today, almost everything you do in the city will reward some EXP points, and once you earn enough you'll gain a stat point. These can be spent on a multitude of persistent statistics like unarmed damage, jump height or even movement speed. The more you play, the more brokenly powerful you'll become! We've had a ton of fun messing with different builds and we're looking forward to seeing the inevitable one-punch-man build someone'll make. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/3c38ea064aa765f3e95f6bd1e980a5940faad6b3.png It's not just inherent power that we put in your control. Introducing Modifiers! These are fun little effects that modify your game play in humorous or novel ways. Some highlights include anti-grav knockout, which sends enemies into orbit upon a KO hit, or allergy hit, which causes an enemies head to grow with every hit. Others, like 12 FPS or Baby Mode are fun visual twists that allow you to see the game in a new way. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/f6b4e0f2e05c05a62d33a2105e8762291cc78499.png Every 10 levels you earn you'll unlock a new modifier slot, so it's completely possible to mix and match a bunch and make It's Only Money look like some kind of hacked-up nightmare. Do your thing! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/5cf31a1fb2aca14874a9037b2437f315b583f766.png Some time ago, we added mini-bosses that patrol the streets. We conveyed that eventually they'll have a fun purpose, well, today is that day! Now when you knock out mini-bosses, you'll unlock DNA points toward one of the aforementioned modifiers, and there's a chance to get DNA points from chests, too. If you've got your eye on a particular modifier, hunt for those purple beams throughout Rockhaven - there'll be a miniboss waiting there! Odd Jobs! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/dc51b2078611629caef583999f5cfe4a9a174946.png Need cash, quick? Upon completion of Takeover: Rockhaven, you'll unlock the Odd Jobs application. Players who've played the Minimum Wage demo will be familiar with this system, but for the uninitiated, Odd Jobs will continually spin up smaller dynamic missions. In essence, you'll never not have something to do in It's Only Money. Whether it's small combat encounters, or some sightseeing, you'll be paid for your time, and of course, all of this is playable in Multiplayer. Radio and audio Overhaul {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/9ea65e0249fb1f2002cb43dcecf254536ab8c9ec.png Rockhaven FM is now broadcasting over the airwaves in Rockhaven! That's right, we have some fully voiced radio segments including our favorite german fashion designer, DJ Steezy. He'll comment on the absurdity of the city in general, while interspersed with adverts from various brands throughout Rockhaven. Not only that, but some general SFX passes have been done to the world. We hope your ears appreciate the changes. New Collectables: EBE's children {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/327da166760280314e8a5263c2f58a6a982312f1.png EBE's not a great Alien. He has problems, this we know. One of his problems is sending human rap records back to his family on Zeta Reticuli. Unfortunately for him, his children are now anti-authority and have run away from their mother's ship. It's up to you to scour Rockhaven and return EBE's kids to the craft before they start committing crimes. We can't be having that in Rockhaven. There's 33 to collect, and if you listen close enough, you'll hear them rapping before they lock eyes with you. Steam Achievements, and more! And of course, with 1.0 comes the addition of Steam Achievements The currently available Steam Achievements are of two schools of design, you'll earn 1 for each story Takeover completed, and the others are gated behind Wiener badge progress. We wanted to allow players to engage with the activities they liked to earn the achievements, and not be forced into any one avenue to earn that sweet 100% completion. Additionally, there's been a ton of smaller QOL and bug fixes as we've been making this batch of content, and a general tidy up on some of the performance issues we've been able to replicate. Where to from here? Of course, we'll be on deck ready to receive more reports and fix up anything we've missed, and we have some smaller additions we'd like to make with our inevitable hotfixes. Beyond that, the team has earned some much needed rest, but before we do any of that, we once again feel it's important to say: Thank you for joining us on this journey. The development thus far has been intense, at times overwhelming, but satisfying and something we're really proud of as a team. For a team of five from the bottom of the world, we hope you feel that we've punched above our weight class. We're super grateful to all of you who've joined along the path, or if you're just checking it out today. We'll talk to you when we drop that first inevitable hotfix. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/f6f3786bc5ffe5a6d0f0d4d4fec7247c2c80fb27.png

Hello Friends! It's Only Money is packing its bags and moving out of the Early Access slums - straight into the full-price penthouse! Starting September 11th, the price is getting a major upgrade (think luxury tax bracket). So, if you want to save some cash before our mayor hikes the rent, now’s your last chance! Grab the Early Access deal while you can, or be prepared to pay up like everyone else in this fine, totally not corrupt city of ours! Also, we have updated our release date to 21st October to allow for some final polish! Thanks to everyone who has supported our journey so far - we hope to see you in Rockhaven soon! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/f6f3786bc5ffe5a6d0f0d4d4fec7247c2c80fb27.png

In celebration of taking our game to Gamescom, we released a new public demo and we'd love for you to check it out! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/0d7e98a815033cb7fd5600904cc7b0e42b6e2940.png If you don't already know the score, it's a bite-sized single-player piece of our larger open-world multiplayer experience. After completing the tutorial - where you will get to do lots of weird and wonderful stuff - you'll have 15 mins to do what the hell you want! You’ll be offered up random odd jobs that aim to funnel you into experiencing one of the many things Rockhaven has to offer. For each job, you’ll be rewarded with cash that you can spend on clothes, weapons, car mods and more, but most importantly, you’ll be graded at the end of the 15 minutes based on how much money you make. Based on your grade, you’ll unlock some sweet stuff in the full version of It’s Only Money if you decide to check it out! We encourage you to play through the demo as many times as you like, engage with a bunch of random jobs to experience the various systems and features within the game, or just ignore them in general and go for a cruise. We’ve crafted a huge, unpredictable game and we hope you find something that gives you a few laughs. Lastly, we appreciate ALL the feedback we get and we'd love to know what you think of the demo! Good luck on the streets of Rockhaven - enjoy your life! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/f6f3786bc5ffe5a6d0f0d4d4fec7247c2c80fb27.png

Hey Everyone, The time has come! It’s Only Money is finally ditching Early Access and hitting full release on Steam this October 14th! We've also got a fresh new demo, It’s Only Money: Minimum Wage Edition, ready for you to dive into right now. Like...NOW! The demo is packed with 45-60 minutes of gameplay, including a quick tutorial to get you prepped as Rockhaven’s top menace, which includes 15 minutes of free play. Earn some cash, take on odd jobs, or just drive through the city causing havoc - your earnings unlock sweet (and trashy) rewards in the full game, so make those minutes count! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/0d7e98a815033cb7fd5600904cc7b0e42b6e2940.png Chapter 3 Content Overhaul - Now Available If you're new to Rockhaven or not visited us in a while, let us recap. We started with Chapter Zero, introducing a ton of content and fine-tuning based on your feedback. In Chapter One, we dropped more missions, brought in the Maude Boss fight, and let you roll with your Homies around the city. Chapter Two introduced new Side Hustles, revamped vehicle systems, and Fast Travel. Now, with Chapter Three (which launched a few weeks back), we’ve brought you the MOVR HQ mission. This is our biggest mission yet, featuring Memphis, an ex-wrestler who’s turned the MOVR base into a full-on wrestling spectacle. Expect drone scouting, sneaking, platforming, and yes, some serious wrestling action. Make sure your Homies are levelled up and ready to tackle our most challenging boss fight yet. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/4edc7c9c02ef1b5024d4f9b608a0a7aa2482885e.png New Enemies Get ready to face two new enemy types: MOVR LOSRs - the underdogs who’ll throw tantrums and fireworks, and MOVR BRUISRs - the muscle with a Ground Slam and Running Charge that’ll keep you alert. Introducing Metro Dungeon We’re also rolling out our third Side Hustle - Metro Dungeon. This roguelite experience puts all your combat skills to the test. Battle through Rockhaven’s Underground Metro System, collect Goorana Crystals, and choose from powerful Relics and Stat Upgrades to craft your perfect build. It’s a roguelite, so you start with nothing and leave with nothing - except the satisfaction of smashing through waves of enemies. What’s Next? We’re committed to squashing bugs and fine-tuning the new content based on your feedback. Plus, we’re heading to Gamescom next week to show off It’s Only Money. If you’re there, come check it out on the Indie Area Booth. We'd love to say hey! Mark your calendars for October 14th and gear up to take back Rockhaven, one block at a time. We’ve got more coming, so stay tuned and keep that feedback coming. The feedback, support and general love shown for our game means a lot! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/f6f3786bc5ffe5a6d0f0d4d4fec7247c2c80fb27.png

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/13466d651f6d305c297deb13747cd0066b5ecf63.gif Hey everyone, Hope you're enjoying the launch of Chapter Three. As promised we spent a couple of days to fix the most pressing issues, and improve other facets of the game. - Players now have the ability to cancel Side Hustles and Minigames (Gorb Rush, Prop Hunt, Abduction) by pressing ESC and selecting "Cancel activity" - Fixed a bug where owning the Metro Dungeon Side Hustle wasn't saving for some players - Adjusted hints relating to Takeover 2. Players should now unlock these at the appropriate time - Fixes to graffiti, landscapes and other visual elements in the Metro Dungeon - The game now forces a save in most situations where players have spent money or engaged in quest steps. - Some adjustments to the civilian spawning in La Gordo Valley. Hopefully you should see less people spawning and walking around an active runway, for example. - Changed the unlock path for Takeover 2. It no longer requires the player to own the Drone Racing Side Hustle. The appropriate path is now completing Eternal Pastures, Beggar King's "New Whip" mission. - And a bunch more smaller fixes to various facts of the game As always, keep the reports coming and have a lovely weekend. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/f6f3786bc5ffe5a6d0f0d4d4fec7247c2c80fb27.png

Hey everyone! We are beyond excited (and honestly a bit relieved) to announce that Chapter Three of It’s Only Money is finally out the door! To celebrate, we’re offering a special 20% discount for the next two weeks. It's our little way of saying thanks for sticking with us! We’ve also got a dev stream up on our Steam store page. Now, we’re not live because, well, we needed to collapse into pile of exhaustion. Just for one evening. But you can still watch us play and run through all the cool new features from the recording we did yesterday. Jump in, enjoy the new content, and take advantage of the discount. Thank you all for your support! Cheers, Usual Suspects and Firestoke

Hey everyone, We're back with another huge Chapter milestone: Our recent updates and overhauls to our Combat system, Controller Support and Experience surrounding those have lead us to a really exciting spot where we can expand upon them with another huge Takeover mission and a Roguelite style Side Hustle! Before we start, let's do a quick recap of where we've been, as well as where we are. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/2df60f2288dbd050b168a094f03b092e377387fe.png In Chapter Zero, we debuted the game with a huge offering of content, and spent weeks (and months) ironing out systems and overhauling them based on community feedback. From there, we were able to prioritise content based on the loudest feedback, which in turn lead to Chapter One {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/f167ac0b3e775212b8010b6c509facc598069d42.png Chapter One came with more missions, the first strike at the Mayors inner circle via the Maude Boss fight, and systems to allow players to upgrade how much cash and items they can hold. We added new repeatable activities, as well as the ability to take your Homies with you throughout the city. One of the more clear pieces of feedback was a frustration with the wait between these massive drops of content, and we agreed. Why sit on a tangible upgrade to a system while we're finishing the rest, if we can just put them out as we're happy. So we took that tact with Chapter Two. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/70f25e6916ef289f61c29574797a4032531450eb.png Throughout Chapter Two's development we focused on improving the vehicle systems and how you engage with them, as well as dropping in content to other pre-existing mechanics. Along the way we added new systems such as Fast Travel, the Two Wheeled Vehicles and the new First Player Experience. Rounding it off with the new concept of Side Hustles, we introduced ShipPost the Courier Side Hustle, added the Mod Shop to garages so you could customise your vehicles, overhauled the Vehicle Damage system and Stealing methods, along with a ton of extra content. So now, Chapter Three: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/4edc7c9c02ef1b5024d4f9b608a0a7aa2482885e.png On our lead up to Chapter Three we brought you the New Island: LaGordo Valley, a beautiful new spot in the north which featured more landscape and a different feeling compared to the big city life of Rockhaven. We overhauled the combat system introducing the ability to Block and Dash, allowing you to retaliate blocked damage and reset cooldowns on successfully dodged attacks, along with castbars to show you what the enemy is thinking. The second Side Hustle: WTF3K, a Drone Racing league, made its debut. Full Controller Support was added along with some big reworks on the UI screens that needed it the most. And of course a ton more improvements, missions and other content were added. But enough of the old news, what's new today? Let's take a look:

Takeover 2: MOVR HQ

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/620cbde06e53883344448fea20d9543cf68ca029.png The long awaited follow up to the large Takeover Mission from Chapter One is here, Takeover 2: MOVR HQ. Meet Memphis, an ex-wrestler handpicked by the Mayor to lead the MOVR force. Memphis continues to live in kayfabe and has no idea his real responsibilities or goals, so he's converted the MOVR base into a giant wrestling promotion: one you'll get to take part in! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/786d72d0a7a5b48d12b9e1f783a1827581223740.gif MOVR HQ is our largest mission yet, and one we're very proud of. You'll scope the place out using a drone, take part in some platforming, sneak through the base, and yes: take part in a wrestling show where between rounds you'll select abilities to make yourself overpowered. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/ac7cd73c19c306cbdf47c13dd33969f7e05c4091.gif As with the first Takeover, make sure you have at least 3 levelled up Homies (or co-op friends) willing to come for the ride, as you'll certainly need them to take on the combat challenges and Memphis himself in our most difficult boss fight yet. Along with Memphis, you'll also be seeing a lot of two brand new enemy types: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/63bebb7211b79803518720bfa617dbc3c341502c.gif

MOVR LOSR

Meet the losers of the MOVR HQ, the MOVR LOSRs. These dorks are meek little punching bags not just for the MOVR team itself but for you as well! We're told it gets better once you leave school, maybe that's true for some but not for these guys. You'll get a sense of pent up rage when they start throwing their items at you or when they wanna get real nasty it's fireworks time, literally. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/e6223750ccad7a0ebd66a1a3bbffa31bf99fe514.gif Their fireworks will light up the floor around you and your only option is to get out of the way. When they're not throwing a tantrum they can also benefit their colleagues by deploying a healing robot. So make sure you get to the LOSRs quick, they won't put up much of a fight. Also, be sure to use your dodge to close ground on them, as LOSR's love to run away when you get close. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/cacfbf15b66436c184f269b824d0b7296bef0c09.gif

MOVR BRUISR

On the opposite side of the spectrum are the big boys, the MOVR BRUISRs. This is what happens when you inject Goorana into your veins. An experiment gone right? Depends who you ask. Much bigger and scarier than the LOSRs or even the standard issue MOVRs, the BRUISRs have more health and a harder hit to boot. Don't make them mad or you're gonna witness them burst into a rage with a Ground Slam. Marking the ground around you, you'll see where the BRUISR is going to smash down upon you. You'll want to dash out of the way to make it to safety. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/889ad8350fc01033fdbd4925d510798f5f774aed.gif A Running Charge is the other trick up their sleeve. Standing in the way will make sure you are the first to get ragdolled and set alight by the fire left on their trail. Sounds tough but with a bit of luck we're sure you'll manage. With new Enemy Types being added, along with the last update's Combat Overhaul - it would make sense to create a new Side Hustle around this right?

Side Hustle: Metro Dungeon

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/8c32f29211f376bac6edc4cf822022acd6033620.gif Introducing our third Side Hustle: Metro Dungeon, a roguelite experience fit to show off all things combat in It's Only Money. We're fans of the genre and with all the systems we've already developed for and surrounding the combat - it's simply just a thing that made a lot of sense to highlight everything that's available. Let's dig in: Getting into Rockhaven's Underground Metro System is no easy feat, and neither is leaving it (unscathed at least). With the help of Nana and a funny little portal you can get sent to the Metro Dungeon whenever you please. The task is simple, defeat the Waves of enemies in the Dungeon and bring back as many Goorana Crystals as you can for an increased reward. However, it is important to note that visiting through the portal doesn't come without its quirks. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/e6d53a22b4c0ade1ce35c2964f1d31105bf96f3c.gif

Milestones and Relics

The first thing you are going to notice are the Milestone Relics. These are a strange fusion of a Trigger and an Effect that could potentially help you. You'll have the choice of three Relics every second Milestone and a chance to reroll the selection pool if they don't suit your fighting style. The other two Milestones will grant you a choice of Milestone Moves. Every Milestone the items hanging around the Dungeon will change around, keep that in mind.

Stat Upgrades

After completing a wave you will get a choice of three Stat Upgrades. These will come in a variety of potency, so choose wisely. Stat Upgrades can help in a number of ways: fight enemies quicker by becoming stronger, navigate the dungeon faster with increased movement stats or just make it easier on yourself by choosing stats that let you take more damage and afford more mistakes. The choice is yours but think about how they might interact with your chosen Relics and Moves. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/4b1b1900db7f78a9108d43c102670009ec9b1a3d.gif

Goorana Crystals

The whole reason anyone is even down there is to gather Goorana Crystals. This is the only place to gather this valuable resource and the Mayor has a monopoly on it. The best way to get Goorana Crystals is to find the big crystals around the Dungeon and bash the heck out of them. However, enemies will tend to drop some when knocked out, and you can also recycle any Junk items at the Junk2Crystal Recycler if you can find it. You can spend the Goorana Crystals in the Dungeon when Rerolling any selection pools for Relics, Moves or Upgrades between Waves. You can also use them to Respawn and escape out of the jail room incase things don't go your way, but the cost is hefty. If you save them up and avoid using too many, then bringing them back after completing the dungeon run Nana will convert the Crystals into regular cash to use in Rockhaven. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/b5dd6b7aa0f61ef259e22dbe821ef2ef94528de5.gif

Stuck Homies

You will also occasionally find Stuck Homies in the Dungeon. Get them before the current Milestone is over or they won't come back. Standing in the area of the Stuck Homie for long enough will help bring them in to start fighting with you. Homies in houses will come through first, so make sure your strongest ones are housed! If you don't have any homies then random undercivilians will spawn in to help you.

Coming Home

We haven't mentioned this yet, but you're not taking anything with you, to or from, this is a roguelite of course. You will start with no Moves, no Buffs, no Items and you won't be bringing anything you grab back with you, Nana just wants the Goorana Crystals! We can't wait to see what builds you create down in the Metro Dungeon, the highest damage amount from a single punch we've seen so far was just over 800... do you think can you beat that? Tell us how you get on in our Discord or in the Steam forums. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/13466d651f6d305c297deb13747cd0066b5ecf63.gif We've also gone through and fixed more bugs that were found along the way, and made tweaks that have had some good knock on effects. If you're new, or you've been out of the loop for awhile feel free to check out some of the other updates we've done along the way to Chapter Three, including: Combat Overhaul, New Island, Full Controller Support, Drone Racing & Map Overhaul

What's next

As always, we're going to spend the next bit of time cleaning up any unforeseen bugs and touching up anything that's quick from your feedback. Considering the breadth of new content that's been added, we'll also be curious to see any performance impacts across the community. As always, share these reports with us and we'll hone in on the culprits. Once we're in the clear, a couple of us will be strapped to a plane and heading to another hemisphere.

Gamescom

We had such a good time at PAX Australia in 2022, not only did we get to try Five Guys for the first time, we went back and ate there three more times! We also got to meet a ton of great people and show off the early development of the game. Now we're heading off to Germany in August for Gamescom and It's Only Money will be playable on the show floor. The amount of progress the game has made since PAX is something we're very proud of and we can't wait for more people to get their hands on it. We'll talk more about this closer to the date. Of course more content is on the way, it never stops, we've got some great ideas we're really excited to get started on. As always, thank you all for being on the ride of It's Only Money! In a lot of ways, we're just getting started, so buckle in for even more. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/f6f3786bc5ffe5a6d0f0d4d4fec7247c2c80fb27.png

Hey, everyone! It's time for another Chapter 3 update, and it's a heavy one! Let's get into the details. NOTE: As we go forward, please check your controller/KBM bindings as new mechanics and button placements have been set as standard with the new combat pass. We've added Block to the button that would usually be "use item", and changed and added other features. Combat Overhaul From the early beginnings of It's Only Money, combat is something we've tinkered in the pursuit of a simple system that rewards players who spend the time to master a few basic concepts. Throughout Early Access, combat usually devolved into spamming one of two combat moves and hammering a ragdolled opponent with no thought behind it. We don't want to lose the simplicity of our combat, but at the same time, having a fight with multiple enemies was usually an exercise in spamming and praying you didn't get hit. Today we're pleased to take a step forward in giving players the tools to mitigate damage, and have more of an idea what our AI are planning to do. Blocking & Crushing Blocking makes its debut in It's Only Money. It's a standard mechanic accessible at all times, meaning it's not a combat move. While holding block, you sacrifice stamina in the place of health, meaning, whatever damage you would have taken to health will eat out of your stamina bar instead. This is also true for AI opponents. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/5f25d8b37e0a5dda6915cced573378997a68cf45.gif While you block damage, you'll also build up a "Retaliation" score. This represents the amount of damage you've taken. Your next punch, or combat move will add this damage as a bonus, encouraging quick counter attacks. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/c0432f70ac5c5bdd7a23e04aa3afe69e3e099bda.gif Getting damaged while at 0 stamina will force either the player or AI opponent to be "Crushed". While crushed, you can't sprint, jump or block for 5 seconds and you'll take increased damage. We find it's now incredibly fun to beat up on a MOVR, crush them, and send them flying with a well placed kick. Dash {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/99b86b53c792d98ad05732f7b1e8e7a860860ba7.gif What's more, while blocking you can hold a movement direction and hit the jump button to Dash. This will give you some amount of invincibility frames to completely dodge an incoming attack. A perfect dodge will refill your stamina and reset the cooldown timer on your moves, so players who put in the effort to master this technique will be throwing out a TON of damage. Reworked and Remade Animations Punching will now drag your character toward your target, helping you hit your opponents more effectively. Additionally, the attacks have been reworked to make them feel more impactful, and the AI reactions and visual effects have had a huge amount of focus to make the fights super exciting. Castbars {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/cef49196ca3ea556a66d4f0237054e15f35cc5ba.jpg There's a lot of complexity to our AI opponents that we haven't done a great job of showcasing. With Castbars, you'll now see the thoughts and plans of your opponent as they fight. A Blue Attack is something you can block. A Red Attack is something you need to dodge (Blocking these will crush you) A Grey Decision is the NPC deciding to use an item, deploy a machine, or loot something off the ground. We find the castbars really interesting, and a player with a keen eye can now control a fight with a mob that would previously be very overwhelming. We encourage feedback either here on Steam or on our Discord as it pertains to the new combat system, but we're very proud of where it's at. We think it's a more exciting, intelligent way to handle combat, however, less dexterous or younger players can still bop their way through a fight. Full Controller Support {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/c42e0a1e9a8cefd11f4229254a7a77ca88d5a200.png Great news! We finally spent the time to ensure full controller support over a range of devices. Hopefully no more pesky virtual cursors or unexpected behaviours when trying to play exclusively with a gamepad. Please try it out and let us know if we've missed anything, but we're really pleased with the result. Overhauled Customisation Screens {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/a0309668f88bbda3cd46d7f8a867ed11c674a6ac.jpg Buying clothes, getting a haircut, opting into some plastic surgery and browsing your Wardrobe should now look a lot better and run a whole darn lot smoother as of this update. All customisation screens have had a rework, and we're hoping the information of what you own, or what you're going to buy is a lot more understandable and enjoyable to use. Let us know what you think! Mini Bosses {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/5b7e62123bb10acea46e085ea233468281b53fc6.png Throughout Rockhaven you'll notice an unusual purple beam coming from the sky. In time, we'll learn more of what's causing this, but one thing's for certain: Anyone zapped with the beam suddenly grows in size and develops crazy mutations, like fire walking, or the ability to summon allies. Mini Bosses are prowling the streets of Rockhaven, with a bunch of unusual abilities. If you want, feel free to test your might against them. If you leave victorious, you and your friends will be rewarded with a chest! There's more to come down the road with the Mini Boss system, but we wanted to have them hit the streets ASAP and gather feedback from the community. New Island: "La Gordo" "BETA" {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/6ae8d04dedd2e190df30d5a0c05e81984cf7e237.png Surprise! A whole new landmass just popped up out of nowhere. Welcome to LaGordo Valley, located north of Rockhaven, it's the polar opposite of the city. It's vast, full of nature, and it has a giant airfield located smack dab in the middle. LaGordo isn't quite as dense or as polished as the city we've been working on for the past couple years, but we wanted to put this new landmass in players hands as soon as we could to gather feedback, and help us prepare to drop a whole bunch of content we're working on that take place in LaGordo. That's not to say there's nothing in LaGordo yet, and curious players will find a bevy of properties to buy, garages to own, landmarks to discover, and of course, a new mission to introduce some of the weirder locals that live in the Valley. Expect LaGordo to keep getting updates to improve the set dressing, playability, lighting, spawning logic and content offerings going forward - this new island is definitely a work in progress! New Mission: Open your Mind {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/9ea9c330321f5a2c80633e2ace2d40e919f5c271.png Atop Mount Procrastination sits an interesting group dedicated to the art of doing nothing all day. Ingratiate yourself with this odd bunch and you might just learn a unique skill that'll truly pass the time away. Improved Post Processing and Fog Before {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/9653ce3acf88990461b43bf0222709fffad25e66.png After {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/d242fa617dbbc0acf1f8fbb8c58c05b9d0947b63.png We've also touched up the post processing and fog around Rockhaven and LaGordo to help the city look its best, and with the new fog system there should be an appreciable performance benefit to lower end machines. And as usual, a bunch of bug fixing and performance improvements! Our continued thanks to those who thoroughly report their issues and help us identify the source of nasty bugs and unintended performance drops. We hope you'll continue helping us target these, and we hope you look forward to the next update very soon, which we're sure will be equally as dense as this one. Much love, be safe! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/f6f3786bc5ffe5a6d0f0d4d4fec7247c2c80fb27.png

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/8b3ba66dd6222e1665bd7ae69e7f53ed6af76318.png Howdy everyone, We're back with another update! We're really pleased with the new Side Hustle system which debuted in the Chapter 2 major update. We intend to overhaul some older content to fit this new system, but additionally, it's a great new way for us to create businesses to buy and play mini-games in for some repeatable cash. Today we're adding another one: Side Hustle: Drone Racing {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/60711effedc51641a91826a0d9cedf535d961366.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/e36ac6c0177a18396f1b36919d839bd1834f09c0.gif After you've completed Beggar King's mission "New Whip", you'll have a mission sitting there from S1ONE, the proprietor of "WTF3K", or Way Too Fast 3000, Rockhaven's premier Drone Racing league. Settled atop the Palms Mall in the middle of the city, contestants launch their drones and battle for the fastest time among several racing tracks (with more to come!) Buy your membership and you'll get to compete either alone against times set by fellow pilots, or if you bring friends you can have a head-to-head hotlap experience to see who can shave off precious seconds. Of course, like all Side Hustles, the more you play, the more rewards you'll earn including vehicle wraps, clothing, AsbestOS placeables, and more cash every time you play. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/6475b193679b9bb56c29f0f69f277a3289cd618c.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/2a42a81f9f4f1e4a4567849fe69eb304b92f7d23.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/f3a36adbf241b2ef6b9e6d93e3ae65e01b9a01e9.png Some examples of the new unlockables from WTF3K, including a totally not creepy headset and polygonal hoodie and new car wrap... New Mission: Towing Time {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/04304b864e19aab3b460ee8b14b2fee0097ef196.png Once you purchase your membership, another mission awaits! Fellow racer BENJ1 needs energy drinks, and he's too lazy to walk outside. Using a jerry rigged drone, steal Goorana machines from the streets and bring them to the rooftop to satisfy his cravings. Map Overhaul and in-game Compass {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/f3261f5d63d835ec4ee3d146cfefdb7c6e57508d.png Destinations has had a huge overhaul to help players navigate the city much easier. Some key highlights include: - The ability to set custom waypoint markers from the Destinations application - Category filters to help find specific types of shops or locations - City Districts are now viewable - A new birdseye angle when viewing the map from afar, pulling into isometric as you zoom in on a location - Improved navigation for both Keyboard+Mouse and Controller - A slew of new icons and usability reworks to help make information more readable. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/27c12e2311475c2cd14734c5b22ee0d9e41842e4.gif Additionally, there's a new compass present in-game to help track down friends, custom waypoints, mission markers or even hint at undiscovered locations nearby. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/a742e52e33614b2963a73547f7f06379b45a1d2e.png Oh, and we added double jump {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/57ec75d957cd6ebf921a03cfbcf2e5363bcf7696.gif Some walls and ledges are just annoying, we get it. Now everyone has access to a double jump to help navigate around the streets and alleys, and inevitably let you access places we never intended - but hey, that's fun. As we move forward, Doctor Powick will offer some upgrades to make your jump even crazier.. All this and some bug fixes, performance improvements and smaller quality of life changes are going out now! Of course, we're still working on more updates on our road to Chapter Three, and we think some of the upcoming content will be some of the most exciting yet. Spoiler alert: The reworked map is sure going to be useful soon... {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/c9533898a0237f718cd607f9b628701efc32a9aa.png -. . .-- / .. ... .-.. .- -. -.. Have a great week, and thanks for continuing to support It's Only Money! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/f6f3786bc5ffe5a6d0f0d4d4fec7247c2c80fb27.png

Hey everyone, The day's finally here: We've finally put a bow on the vehicle focused set of updates, culminating in the cleverly named "Chapter Two". Unlike previous updates, our road to Chapter Two had instead been focused on delivering larger, more meaningful updates and content instead of saving it for one massive patch, so a lot of veteran players will be familiar with the changes, however, that doesn't mean there's not some substantial changes at hand specifically in this update. Before we kick in, let's take a quick recap at where we've been, as well as where we are. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/2df60f2288dbd050b168a094f03b092e377387fe.png In Chapter Zero, we debuted the game with a huge offering of content, and spent weeks (and months) ironing out systems and overhauling them based on community feedback. From there, we were able to prioritise content based on the loudest feedback, which in turn lead to Chapter One {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/f167ac0b3e775212b8010b6c509facc598069d42.png Chapter One came with more missions, the first strike at the Mayors inner circle via the Maude Boss fight, and systems to allow players to upgrade how much cash and items they can hold. We added new repeatable activities, as well as the ability to take your homies with you throughout the city. One of the more clear pieces of feedback was a frustration with the wait between these massive drops of content, and we agreed. Why sit on a tangible upgrade to a system while we're finishing the rest, if we can just put them out as we're happy. So we took that tact with Chapter Two. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/70f25e6916ef289f61c29574797a4032531450eb.png Throughout Chapter Two's development we've focused on improving the vehicle systems and how you engage with them, as well as dropping in content to other pre-existing mechanics. Players keeping up with IOM will have already engaged with new systems such as Fast Travel, the Two Wheeled Vehicles and even the new First Player Experience, but todays update is an exciting one we've been waiting to share. Let's tuck into the details: Side Hustle: Courier {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/97ee9f92eee3406cc3f5c6cf031de000a69e5443.png Our first Side Hustle: Courier is available today. Open GetAJob and find Jason (Must have completed Beggar King's sixth mission to see this). He'll introduce you to "Ship Post", a renegade postal service that steals packages from the Mayors overpriced delivery fleet, and delivers the packages to the people at a more reasonable clip. This of course, aligns with the Undercity's goals, and Jason is more than happy to have you invest in the company. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/b10ad8b93de7f41b32d325f9e3ce0162dfbc390b.gif Once invested, you can do shifts for the company! You'll spawn somewhere in world on a brand new vehicle, the "Feijoa Scooter". Once your shift begins, you'll need to drive and hop around gathering up packages, and bringing them back to the Ship Post van. All the while you'll need to avoid MOVX vans trying to run you down and topple your stack of packages. The more packages you deliver, the more money you'll have after your shift is done. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/24facdfd97dfd39b0165c400eb8b8a7bfce4233b.gif Do some sweet 360s if you like We've internally found this a great way to quickly add some cash to your reserves, and further, the more you engage with the activity, the more REP you'll build (similar to the Slimeway). As you climb rep levels you'll earn rewards such as increased base pay, clothing, vehicle skins and once you hit the esteemed level 10, Ship Post will have a vault that fills up with cash once every day. Either talk to Jason to start a shift whenever you feel like it, or quickly access it from GetAJob! And of course, this is all playable in co-op online! The Side Hustle system is one we're particularly excited about, as we can come up with more minigames and give players a rewarding path to grind out. It'll also help us contextualise and improve rewards for previous minigames we've come up with along the way. Let us know what you think, and as always, give us feedback here on Steam or in the Discord channel. Vehicle Customization {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/58ad2043bd2711c908f8b87db6beb1353191135d.png Finally, the ability to make the most messed up ride in all of Rockhaven exists! If you own a garage and a vehicle (or perhaps even a fleet), make a bee-line back to one of your garages. Assign a vehicle to a podium, and interact with the new mod bench next to your park. From here, you'll be able to see a huge list of parts you can apply to the ride of your choice. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/2cca3ca34724aa49e2c08b01d63bfbadcb819fe0.png Keen eyes might notice that a lot (perhaps even all) parts are greyed out. Undercitizen, it's on you to take back to the streets and start crushing cars! As you run past cars you'll now notice a wee UI Popup illustrating what upgrades said car has applied. If you spot something you like, jack the car and take it to your nearest wheelies crusher. When you crush it, you have a chance to unlock one of the parts. The more damage the car has, the lower the chance of receiving a part, so make sure you look after the whip on the way to Wheelies. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/46ec5998adab83e71c8f767a5bfa3c94a328bf90.gif Customisation parts include: - Headlight Color - Neons - Paintjobs - Different Radio Head Units (Including a scary bass boosted one that might ruin your hearing) - Utilities (Such as seatbelts to stop you flying, or NOS and Hydraulics for jumps) - Hood and rear ornaments - Engine Upgrades - Turbos - Tire compounds - Horn sounds {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/ee834293c56a6b94b28c1172ac1cf5d5a2f5a8c4.gif This is the part where we have a mathematically derived marketing point that says there's over 8 billion possible combinations between parts and vehicles, but in essence, it's just a cool system, and one we think you'll enjoy playing with. Like every other part of the game, expect there to be tons of parts and paints added over the course of updates going forward. Show us what kind of weird and cool cars you come up with! Side Note: If you don't equip a seatbelt in the Utility slot, take care when crashing into things or you know, you'll go flying. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/31fbaf7369d104f9593759900452bb4529e840d9.gif Overhauled Vehicle Stealing: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/6739feed39188627a9aea1caa2f108cb133e2292.png Previously to open up a locked vehicle and start it without earning bounty required having screwdrivers and pliers on hand, and then initiating in mini-games that a lot of our players felt weren't overly engaging. A new system makes its debut! Now, you don't need any tools to bust open a car and jack it. Just approach a car, hit E and mash your way to getting the car open and started. Doing it this way will increase your bounty and damage the car a little, so be careful if you're taking it to Wheelies to steal a modification. However, if you have screwdrivers on hand, they'll be automatically consumed when attempting to unlock a car. This'll not only speed up the process of stealing the vehicle, but it won't damage it or cause a bounty increase. Damage Overhaul: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/1750979ab48ba5e7ed2a29362d18003c8ca8d9ac.png New VFX, particles and visible damage that deforms the vehicles you're driving have also been touched on this update. No longer will cars bop around not showing any wear or tear, windows will break, doors will come lose, metal will crumple and grind against surfaces. This is a big one for general game feel. New Welty Mission: Border Patrol {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/5ff0eb5b4b6fcc61b9e97bbcb5848c49c253ec39.png Welty and his gang, "NME" (No More Emus) want you to customize the lawnmower you've stolen for them and use it to spread propaganda throughout Green Island. Things take a turn when some of Welty's crazy ideas start to prove true.. Two new properties and a 4 Car Garage {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/6986e16011879872b370a9e7b15b1cd6def7d182.png Some more properties to buy up have been added to Rockhaven, including the Storeroom, an apartment located conveniently behind the Underpass Pawn. Directly opposite the Storeroom is the Underpass Garage, capable of storing up to 4 vehicles. Last but not least, the Container Compound, our first outside space you can customise and assign to a homie. We can't wait to see what kind of creations you come up with here. There's also a whole ton of other additions and changes that've gone in this patch: - New Powick Upgrades for wallet/carrying capacity size - New Bank Card Tiers - New Clothing and Chest Rewards - A new apartment and garage - Bug fixes - New Vehicles around the city (All of which will become purchasable in future updates) If you're new, or you've been out of the loop for awhile feel free to check out some of the other updates we've done along the way in Chapter Two, including: Personal Valet, Purchasable Garages & Cars, Two Wheeled Vehicles, First Time User Experience, Fast Travel What's next As always, we're going to spend a week cleaning up any unforseen bugs and finishing off a few bits of content that we'll tuck into the game. After we're in the clear, the journey to Chapter Three begins. While Chapter Two's main narrative addition touched on the opening of the game, with Three we intend to move the story forward once more. If you've missed out on the recent news, we're now partnered with Firestoke. They're going to help us out to develop robust new content, but they're as committed as we are in acting on community feedback. We have an idea of where Chapter Three is going internally, but we'll be monitoring Steam Forums and Discord chat and working in suggestions that the community feels strongly about. After our internal discussions, we'll start talking about our vision of Chapter Three, share it with everyone and immediately start hitting some content beats. As always, thank you all for being on the ride of It's Only Money! In a lot of ways, we're just getting started, so buckle in for even more. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/f6f3786bc5ffe5a6d0f0d4d4fec7247c2c80fb27.png

How's it going everyone, Time to hit our next stop along our path to Chapter Two with the addition of Motorcycles, bikes, some UI Improvements and a brand new first time user experience. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/b55084d6f0d0a4437fce26185b5d26961c7bd36b.gif First Time User Experience This is a big one! We've revamped the opening of the game to better explain mechanics, story elements and your place in the world of Rockhaven. It's packed full of new locations and fun cutscenes, as well as deeper story elements that help tie the various characters and ideas we've formulated during our Early Access adventure so far. We're really proud of this revamped portion of the game and we're hoping it'll help newer players fall in love with Rockhaven and its populace, and highlight what we love about our game moreso than the original opening. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/f355763815a728b74ed1bcbf4daa7789cf3add12.gif Note: For current players who want to experience this, be sure to back your saves up first! New Building: Marinara Complex {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/a016f684e7596afc266407506f8118c0bd6e2821.png This gargantuan highrise behemoth of a building is home to various apartments, garages and other oddities awaiting discovery. In the coming weeks Marinara Complex will have new properties to purchase, but for now it's the staging ground of the aforementioned new player experience. More updates on that later! New Dealership: Mid Life Motorcyles {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/b00f05be7934fd4e6714cf9f42463dc2e2257d98.png The day has come! Motorbikes in Rockhaven! Available off rip are two variants: The Tiger Gnocchi {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/4da8e2eade265f0c192868848a6d16198d2127f0.png Perfect for beginners and safety concious riders, the Tiger Gnocchi is a great entry point into two wheeled vehicular experiences. The Hardy Peterson X {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/f4580bb330a7679ef0002a5056c6db97d7200c3e.png This road hog is the choice of motorcycle clubs and mid-life crisis experiences worldwide. Experience a gas guzzling engine that is equal parts intimidating and impractical. The bikes are currently in a "first pass" state, and will receive a following update to address handling, sound and other aspects, so please leave us some feedback here on Steam or in the Discord channel if you'd like to see anything tweaked! We'll be on the lookout for suggestions and reports. UI Improvements: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/37686afda66c061e123aa3486342f98ed6a54581.png - Your wallet and bank maximums can now easily be viewed on the inventory screen and will reflect any upgraded maximum capacity from ATM upgrades or Dr Powicks research lab. - Homie statistics now have an element to better explain what each statistic influences Fast Travel: (TURD System) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/e4f59d64ef46c3626dfc856fa066b20360f0ca82.png A much requested feature, fast travel is now an option from the Undercity, or any properties you own that you've opened the pipe in. Select an applicable pipe, a destination, and you'll be shot through what is likely years worth of sewage. Worth the risk to save a bit of time, we're sure! Car Headlights A smaller touch, but cars now have automatic headlights that turn off and on in low light situations, such as night! More of these smaller vehicle improvements to come. Engine Upgrade: We've also done a lot of work on moving It's Only Money from Unreal Engine 5.0 to 5.3, and with it hopefully comes some appreciable performance improvements for players across the hardware spectrum. Let us know if there's anything broken, and as usual we'll tackle it ASAP. Known Issues: - The opening driving portion of the new player experience can dip in framerate for some players, but should correct itself as they progress through the parking complex. We suspect this is affecting players on a specific GPU driver version, so if this issue is present, feel free to progress through the mission, as it'll resolve itself, or update your driver and see if that helps. We're open to any reports or logs we can get our hands on in the Discord to better fix this issue. - Maudes Dome in the boss fight won't raise or lower for some players, we're investigating the cause of this and expect to have it fixed in the next update - Some players are having crashes, particularly when in vehicles around large gatherings of NPC's. We're trying to replicate this, and have some leads to a fix. If this happens to you, we'd appreciate any crash logs or information you could share. We will fix this as soon as we've isolated the cause. What's next? In our next update, we're going to tackle two exciting new features to round out Chapter Two's focus on vehicles: Vehicle customisation: Any vehicle you've bought will be be able to be modified in a wide variety of ways, such as Turbos, Paintjobs, rims, better stereos, and much more. This isn't limited to just cars, bikes and other odd vehicles will all be modifiable. We're excited to see what kind of crazy combinations y'all come up with, and we'll share a deeper dive on this system soon. Our first "Side Hustle": Courier Service. Side hustles will be an easily accessible way to grind out money, either solo or friends. Think of them as something halfway between a narrative mission and a business. The more you do a Side Hustle, the greater the rewards, including persistent cash raises and other cool exclusive goodies. Beyond these two major features, there's some fun other bits of content and news on the way that we're sure will please the Rockhaven community, so until then, we'll talk soon, and keep us posted if anything needs fixing! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/f6f3786bc5ffe5a6d0f0d4d4fec7247c2c80fb27.png

Hey everyone, It's time for the first content update on our road to Chapter Two! It's a long requested feature, and one we've been pretty excited about: The ability to purchase vehicles and garages. Let's jump through all the various additions and features of the update, and talk about what's coming next. Three New Vehicles Say hello to the Jalo Perogi, the Chancellor Statesman and the Mudbaby 200. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/01a687294ddf88108e1c2053d991b09921453412.png The Jalo Perogi is a cheap, drifty little hatchback that comes in at a fairly affordable price tag. If you want to take advantage of Rockhavens various alleyways or hidden corners, the Jalo is one of the more navigable cars you can get your hands on. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/ee6725450766d40c497b70e1c06d32c3630396a6.png The Chancellor Statesman on the other hand, is a tried and true classic. A hefty sedan, often used as Taxi Cabs or Police cruisers - everyone in Rockhaven knows what the Statesman is about. It's price tag is double the Perogis and then some, but diehards will say it's worth it. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/3ccc41053084d0f49bbff7f0849130c4b1e8f621.png The Mudbaby 200 however is a vehicle that was originally designed for children to play in, but given that this is Rockhaven, of course dropkick adults decide to test their luck in zipping them around. Try not to injure yourself when you take it out for a spin. As hinted in the last blog, more vehicles are on their way, including some exciting two wheeled machines.. Three Purchasable Garages {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/49ff878fe1aee0c9498eba9df9f8cbd78540225e.png If you're going to buy Vehicles, you'll need a place to put them: Enter Garages! Buying garages will increase your overall fleet capacity, and be a physical location you can visit to show off your owned vehicles, or pick them up for a spin. You'll get your first Garage in Green Island through a mission, but you'll have to find and purchase the remaining two (Check near the shores!). We'll add more garages for purchase in future updates. Visiting garages is a great way to grab one of your vehicles, but it's not the only way... The new "Valet" system {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/1398902250c6e09f2478e2bcf6722ae0cf3df8f7.png Say you're out on the town, nowhere near your cars but you need a ride. It's simple! Using the Valet application on your phone, you can summon one of your available cars to your location. A very sorry driver will bring it right to you. Don't forget to tip! In a future update, tipping will progress you along an upgrade path inside the Valet application, but for now, it's just a nice thing to do. If your cars are destroyed, you can also pay the insurance fee to replace them right from the application. That leads us into the next topic {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/4a2792e07f1521c11cbd894490b5edb877af450f.gif Damage overhaul and repairing {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/b2b53c28c579f803c974bd654e7f77acd04ab333.png Cars now have a visible HP hud and damage states reflecting the condition of the car you're in. No more sudden explosions, and no more guess work. We still want to do visual damage to windows, doors and other parts on the car in a later update, but we figured we should at least address the basics. Your car will now exhibit white smoke, black smoke, and fire when it's about to blow up, and the ensuing explosion can cause chain reactions, so be sure to get out of the blast radius. Destroyed cars will also drop a smattering of broken tires, and whatever was in their inventory, so it's a good way to uh, you know - steal more stuff. Additionally, if you're driving one of your vehicles, or have stolen one you're enjoying and want to repair them, head on over to Wheelies. There's a new second button there, and pay attention! One button crushes, while the other repairs the car inside for a fee. If you're playing in co-op, why not "repair" one of your friends cars. Surely that will end well. New Car Material System {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/52f2ff405ca8892db59e1357abe69086628bb46b.png You'll notice some new paints and wraps on the vehicles of Rockhaven driving about. We've overhauled our car paint system on the back end which allows us to make some pretty exciting combinations. In this update, you'll get to pick some preset paint jobs at Car Dealerships, or notice some new colors on AI vehicles driving about, and that's where it is for now - however, as we tackle customisation, you'll be able to unlock and apply a whole range of colors and designs (among more substantial customizations to vehicles). For now, we hope this change gets you excited and envisioning what kind of crazy car you'll build in the future. Two Dealerships {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/7dc8b77a2d9ffc729babfff7ab054c435bed2e58.png Buying cars debuts with two dealerships being opened in Rockhaven. By the south beach boardwalk is "4 Real Automobile", a rather run down establishment that has both the ride on lawnmower and Maximo for sale. If neither of those are doing it for you, Big O's Car Yard in North Beach has both the Jalo Perogi and Chancellor Statesman available. Peruse the disgusting available colors at launch knowing full well in time you'll be able to repaint them. Make sure you have your wallet upgraded from Dr Powicks upgrade station before buying a car though - they're not cheap! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/649b45885ce89ebca13541426047b77d01b01533.gif A new mission "New Whip" {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/00021ef00528051daacb8be4c52018c12294e559.gif To introduce the concepts of wheeling and dealing automobiles, Beggar King will offer you a mission entitled "New Whip". Go meet Big O and stunt drive a Mudbaby 200 through the streets. If you do a good enough job, he'll go ahead and throw you the keys. We're pretty happy with some of the systems we've developed in this mission, and have some more exciting missions to leverage the work done here further in an upcoming update. Bug Fixes and System Improvements We've also crushed a fair amount of bugs, attempted some more performance improvements and made some changes to underlying systems that should help traffic and AI navigate better. Additionally, we've added some more logic and physics to items and set dressing through the city to better improve the driving experience throughout. If you do get stuck, there's now an option on the interaction wheel on all vehicles to flip them right side up. Oh, and people BLINK now! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/92548d0b79de57e843c38899508c20910207a51b.gif HUGE UPDATE. Last but not least, Cloud Saves are online We've finally gone ahead and enabled Cloud Saves. If you're a user who's played on multiple PC's, we recommend booting the game on the PC with your preferred saves first, and thereafter letting Steam handle the sync operation. We don't expect any problems to arise, but again, if they do, feel free to hit us up on Discord (or leave a comment here) and we'll fix 'em up. What's Next? Up next on our schedule is working on an improved first time user experience that'll better explain the core concepts of the game, and give the world some much needed flavor and substance to Rockhaven. A lot of the work we're doing on that will fallback into usual moment to moment gameplay, so while it primarily targets new players, veterans will have some appreciable content fall out of that. We're also looking to launch two wheeled vehicles in the next content update, including motorbikes, electric scooters, and more. This is of course on top of new missions, new places to go in the city, and expanding the variety of cars, garages, houses and items to buy. Once we've accomplished those larger two milestones, we'll start to roll out the customisation update, which'll allow you to modify vehicles into your fleet in all kinds of crazy and dumb ways, including opting out of wearing seatbelts - so if you're a fan of becoming a projectile, look forward to that. Enjoy the update, and we'll talk again soon! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/f6f3786bc5ffe5a6d0f0d4d4fec7247c2c80fb27.png

Hey everyone, We hope you enjoyed the start of Chapter One, and thank you to all those who've expressed their excitement, helped us nail down on bugs and continued to suggest where they want the future of It's Only Money to go. We thought now would be a good time to address updates and how we want to handle them post launch of Chapter One. Chapter One was a big update for our team of 5, which we developed simultaneously with over 30 weekly updates along the way throughout Chapter Zero. As you can imagine, not only was it a fairly full-on development schedule making new content, but equally time consuming packaging and testing those builds and quite often tearing it down and starting over when we found a bug (or 50). {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/2df60f2288dbd050b168a094f03b092e377387fe.png While we're proud of our ability to rapidly iterate with lighter pieces of content while working on a more substantial larger chapter update simultaneously, however it also meant we had to scope specifically to hit a weekly target. That meant some of our more exciting ideas falling by the way side. A lot of the suggestions we get here on Steam, or in the Discord community align with where we want to take the game, however, some if not most of those suggestions would take more than a week, so naturally finding time to manifest those ideas can be tricky. From today, we're going to address what we're working on ahead of time, with a larger picture of what the game should encapsulate by the time we arrive at Chapter 2 and beyond. We're going to release updates with new mechanics, features and content as we finish them, as opposed to holding them off for a larger update down the road. This'll lighten the burden on us as a team having to dedicate days to QA'ing a weekly build, and get content in the game faster. This is not to say we won't move immediately on crippling bugs, or throw in a lighter update here or there if we want add more Weiner badges, missions or clothing pieces. Our ability to rapidly iterate is a strength of the game and studio we don't want to leave behind. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/4da8e2eade265f0c192868848a6d16198d2127f0.png Looking forward, our road to Chapter 2 is going to have a focus on improving the vehicular experience. A long standing request from the community is the ability to buy and customise vehicles. Additionally, we want to add new types of vehicles to drive, better and more robust driving behaviour from AI, including police chases. We want to overhaul the way the vehicles respond to crashes with a new damage system, and improve the ways you can steal vehicles and give you more reasons to care about doing so. So, let's look at the first portion we're working on: Purchasing Vehicles and Garages Several garages will become available to purchase in Rockhaven and doing so will be essential to store a huge fleet of vehicles. From anywhere in the city, you'll be able to use a new application on your phone, "Valet", to have any one of your vehicles delivered to you. Be sure to tip the delivery driver, as the more you do, the more his service will improve, and of course, you'll be in for some sweet rewards. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/1398902250c6e09f2478e2bcf6722ae0cf3df8f7.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/cae1b2643c6f16b783026f6f33e8fbbe894855d7.png So, where do you get vehicles? Dealerships, of course. Different dealerships throughout Rockhaven will offer different vehicles and vehicle types for purchase. Big O's might have a sensible sedan for the family oriented criminal, while 4 Real Automobile is more than happy to sell you a lawnmower. Customisation will come in a later update, but at the very least, you can select a sweet paint of your choice to start off with. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/6057646a876502fdac1c44696c25cde1dcfdbeeb.png We're happy with how the system is shaking out, and as soon as we've polished it up with some sounds and fancy feedback elements, we'll put it out with some accompanying general improvements, missions and other minor additions. Then we'll talk about what's next in a blog post like this, shape it up and ship it out to everyone. Infact, we've already started prototyping out the next phase: Bikes and other two wheeled vehicles. The results? Doing a bunch of sweet stunts through Rockhaven. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/5eedc0a7256267df1e19ffc1764a48a6ff2b1932.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/30f924e6d6ecdadc336a3142692732805e301abc.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/a32b20241c348138a47e0e4b8fcd7d64dd733fa2.gif Keep the suggestions coming along the road to Chapter Two, and we'll keep you posted along the way. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/f6f3786bc5ffe5a6d0f0d4d4fec7247c2c80fb27.png

Hey everyone, Just another small hotfix to address some issues raised to us over the weekend. We expect to ship out another one either later today or tomorrow to continue attacking several issues we've managed to reproduce. FIXED: - Abduction minigame fixes for clients (UI/Handling/General game logic) - Fixed client controls not responding in Gorb Rush - Several fixes for Vacuum Cleaner item - Several fixes for Homies pathfinding and logic when following a player - Fixed nearby MOVR trucks despawning when a player is close - Fixed Takeover marker from constantly appearing while doing other content - Fixed Healing Robot not healing friendly homies - Added appropriate collision to "Weiner Trophy" so it can be manipulated in AsbestOS - Dr Powicks upgrades should now replicate properly in Multiplayer sessions KNOWN ISSUE TO BE ADDRESSED TODAY: - Sometimes upon completing an abduction mini-game as a client, all Australian Spy Balloons may pop. This seems to happen most frequently when launching the minigame from the Undercity. We expect to have this fixed by the end of today.

Hey everyone, just a small hotfix coming in to address a few issues with the Chapter One launch! Fixed: - Markers should now wrap around the screen - Toilets removed from the inaccessible prison - Zeta points should now save between sessions - Added ability to disable force feedback/vibration

Hey everyone, As of now, Chapter One is deploying and going live. This is a major milestone and update for our team and for the game itself, but the train doesn't stop here! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/f167ac0b3e775212b8010b6c509facc598069d42.png The start of Chapter One includes: - New combat moves available at the Dojo - New Missions - A new UFO repeatable minigame with exciting rewards - An overhaul to the Homies system, which allows them to follow, fight and contribute to your misdeeds in the streets - New properties - A new Crookbook game that can be played singleplayer against your AI homies (or with friends online!) - Dr Powick brings player upgrades to the Undercity! Expanded wallet capacity? More carrying capacity? Teleports to your friends? You got it. - And our first Takeover mission, including a boss fight against Maude, the first of the Mayors lieutenants. - Various performance improvements across the hardware spectrum And more! Again, this is the start of Chapter One. We're settling right in on new content, bug fixes and of course, attacking the ever shifting performance target. To give new players an idea of how we approach It's Only Money, here's a quick summary of what we achieved and added throughout Chapter Zero (or you could check out our update history!) : {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/2df60f2288dbd050b168a094f03b092e377387fe.png Our game and community mean the world to us, and we're going to keep on cracking. Shortly after the launch of Chapter One we're expecting to ship a few hot-fixes to alleviate any issues we missed while testing, then it's straight back into building and releasing more content. We plan to post a new blog about how we're going to better approach our content pipeline going forward, and we think you'll all be excited for what we've got in store. Thanks for waiting and if you're just joining us, Welcome to Rockhaven. It's a weird place, and it's only going to get more bizarre in 2024. - The Usual Suspects team

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/266f9df246433a7a9f1eda424ff55baf68856987.png Hey, everyone! We've been working away on the Chapter One update, and we're pleased to announce that we'll be dropping it mid January. While we wanted to get it out in time for Christmas, our team recently had an outbreak of Covid and despite our best efforts to push through, there's still a few bugfixes and improvements we want to make before letting the update roam free. Additionally, we want to be on deck when the update goes live incase there's any issues that need immediate fixing, so January made the most sense. Before we preview what's coming in Chapter One, we wanted to say another round of thanks to those who joined us on our journey through Chapter Zero. It meant a lot to have such great feedback, reports and suggestions from the community who've found the game, and working together we pushed a significant amount of updates to the title, especially for our team size and resources. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/2df60f2288dbd050b168a094f03b092e377387fe.png The updates ranged from light to significant, and we hope y'all will continue to help us guide It's Only Money to be the best game it can be throughout Chapter One and beyond. So let's talk about what's coming out the gate with Chapter One: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/f167ac0b3e775212b8010b6c509facc598069d42.png Takeover Mission: Off rip, the most major portion of the Chapter One update is your first strike against the Mayor. The first Takeover mission, Eternal Pastures, requires you and your homies to infiltrate Eternal Pastures: A communications center disguised as a retirement home, ran by Maude, one of the Mayors most trusted lieutenants. This is our largest mission yet and features multiple types of gameplay, including using a turbocharged vacuum cleaner to destroy Eternal Pastures from within, culminating with a boss fight against Maude atop the structure itself. Player Upgrades: One of the most highly requested features from the community was a way to upgrade things like cash and carrying limits. The Undercity's newest resident, Dr Powick, has constructed a machine below to handle these requests and more. The first slew of upgrades you can purchase allow you to teleport to friends, increase limits and more! Homies Refactor: In Chapter Zero, your Tenants that you freed and housed did little more more than hang out at home, but with the launch of Chapter One tenants become AI Homies. You can ask your Homies to follow you around, do missions, play crookbook games and more. The more you hang out, the more EXP they'll earn, with each level providing a statistical benefit. Additionally, decorating their homes will provide bonus points into one of the three categories. We're looking forward to utilizing the Homie refactor in future gameplay mechanics including businesses, but there's no need to wait, you'll need to pick your favourite homies to accompany you when you raid Eternal Pastures. New Combat Moves: Return to Awesome Dragon with the launch of Chapter One and experiment with the new moves that await including: - Snail Tank 5000: A technique that summons a Mecha-Snail that fights on your behalf - Wee-Wee Scream: Unleash a primal scream that stuns all enemies in an area and causes an unfortunate accident - Healing Robot: Deploy a modified portable vacuum cleaner that heals all friends within range - Magna-Thief: Pull out a massive super magnet to rip weapons from the hands of enemies straight into your grasp for immediate payback. New Crookbook game, Gorb Rush: Meeting Gorbin and completing his mission will unlock Gorb Rush, the new CrookBook game where you and either 3 friends online or your AI homies (Yes, if you don't have friends to play online with, you can play the new CrookBook game!) are suspended atop a tower in Gorbs, fighting to see who's the last one standing on an ever shrinking platform. Meet Ebe, and abduct people for him: The newest unfortunate resident of Rockhaven is EBE, an Alien who's crashed his ship thanks to one too many whiskeys. Help him in a new minigame abduct the citizens of Rockhaven, and be rewarded with interstellar goods as you complete his shifts. But hey, take a look for yourself: The above and more are just the start of Chapter One, and we're excited for everyone to get their hands on it - and yes, just in-case it needs clarifying: Chapter One is FREE. You've already paid your entry fee to all content by joining us on this Early Access journey, and we can't thank you enough. As we move closer to release and beyond, we'll outline our plans for content going forward and how we plan to deliver it, as well as keeping an eye out for interesting community suggestions that we can reasonably work in, too. Have a great and safe holiday everyone, and let's hit the new year running. - US Team.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/6a39d69e7295ed763e3cecb503e762c40d8aaef2.png Hey everyone, this week's update is light on the content, but for good reason: We are in the final stages of development on Chapter One. To integrate the new content and systems, we'll have to pause the content updates until Chapter One is released. Early tests are promising, but there's still a fair few things we want to make sure are polished and intuitive before release. Additionally, due to tech constraints we can't seamlessly work on Chapter One content while maintaining a Chapter Zero version of the city without constant build and QA processes, which is an arduous task for a team of 5 (Something we've been doing every week since the game came out!) Some players have even noticed new in development content sneaking into live builds (thanks for shouting that out, by the way) We figured everyone wants the new stuff, so lets focus on and finish the new stuff! Our current goal line is end of this month for the release of Chapter One, but it might come sooner or later depending on any issues that arise during testing. During these 20 weekly updates (not to mention the hotfixes), you've given us invaluable feedback to better help shape Rockhaven, and cheered us on throughout the process. We've changed systems, added missions, locations and even entirely new features. We've improved performance (still more to come!), and hit a nice cadence of smaller updates while simultaneously working on the future of It's Only Money. Most importantly, we've felt the game's found a small but incredibly cool community of people. We cannot thank you enough for making our launch a special one. The trust you've shown by taking a chance on It's Only Money through Early Access is appreciated by the team more than we could express in a steam post, and we'll continue working to a high standard to ensure that you feel your purchase was worth it. To celebrate, everyone gets a "Buh Bye Chapter Zero" Shirt {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/cbc9bc437e94c2d3398a73a24a43f6ebdc5d7c92.png Everyone should automatically be granted the shirt on existing saves or new files. Additionally, some bug fixes hit this week. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/90f88b7a4e05bacf7e7343b5dfb892bb4efe2b54.png - New and Improved Knockout Camera - Updated UI Logo for Harborside - Added/Fixed Drunk effects influencing vehicle controls and screen effects - Fixed cops sometimes getting confused when chasing a player - Fixed slow movement speed on clients when performing a combat move while drunk - Fixed the player launching into the sky if becoming sober while ragdolled - Made ability HUD elements more responsive and show charging - Fixed camera snapping back to center, now it smoothly interpolates - Fixed item acquired slide ins wait for no other UI to be on screen before expiring - Fixed vehicle camera being able to clip through objects - Improved perk timeout text on clients - Fixed controller key shown by default on the welcome message - Fixed NPC's always having neon green somewhere in their outfit - Fixed some shopkeepers being interactable even though they had no interact options Though we're pausing weekly updates, we'll continue to monitor Steam and Discord for bugs and get those fixed ASAP once we're alerted. Closer to the announcement of Chapter One's release date we'll detail what exactly to expect with a Steam blog post, but until then have a good one and again, thank you all so much for your support thus far.

Howdy everyone, it's time for another weekly update. Let's get into it: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/c09ee98dfc0e187e3860b21329bc5a3db817eb6e.gif Get Drunk and stumble around Rockhaven This week allows Rockhaveners to indulge in every dropkicks favourite pastime: Drinking too much. Head to your local bar and enjoy either a bottle of beer, or down an entire serving of whiskey and enjoy one of two new perks: Buzzed: Slightly blurred vision, but a decrease in Combat Move cooldown time. Plastered: Your legs are giving out, your eyes want to close, but somehow you're still shambling around. Be careful attempting to jump, and whatever you do, don't fire a high pressured water pistol or you'll fly into the next dimension. Enjoy responsibly! (or don't, we aren't judging) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/53acb4732fd407fdcf84f32a23a90b08c423d224.pngNew Location: Harborside What better place to enjoy the new effects of drinking than Harborside. Located at the base of the Mayor tower where the park meets the water, Harborside offers fantastic alcoholic drinks, and, well... that's about all they offer. Be sure not to fall into the Ocean after indulging. Expanded Reward Chest Drops: A handful of new structure items have been added to the reward chest offerings, including: - Lucky Cat - Bull Club Sign - Wedding Arch - Modern Red Fixtures And More! Complete a few crookbook games or pop some spy balloons and get opening to find some sweet new decor items. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/01f8c409276489010f5a1030955ecd3f6f331de2.png Combat UI Overhaul Ahead of Chapter One dropping, our UI demon has gone over the combat UI to make it more readable and pop more with every action. The addition of a cooldown timer and unique colors for each combat move should help when you need a quick glance at what's going on. The new move icons are a taste of things to come... {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/a700fea2848a8a6457ae847249bda0b8410353f2.png New Stock At Brown Pipes Ever wanted to go potty alongside a friend? The new Urinals in stock at Brown Pipes can make all your dreams come true. You can also use them to flush yourself back to the Undercity, but don't think too hard about how that works. Finally, a new Hidden Cache There awaits another Loot Cache hidden somewhere in Rockhaven. Here's your clue: Where your journey begins underground, look to the sky and hear the sound: Rails would screech and come alive, bounce up there, fly to the prize {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/90f88b7a4e05bacf7e7343b5dfb892bb4efe2b54.png

• Stop TV from immediately running when game starts.
• Fixed campervan being able to be despawned before it should be able to in Spud's second quest.
• Fixed getaway orbs being visible for clients when joining a game at 0 bounty.
• Potential fix for votes sometimes being inconsistent after completing an activity.
• Fixed map marker for Jern.
• Fixed durability pips for weapons with greater than 10 Max Durability.

Howdy everyone, a new weekly update to tuck into: Old Mate Jims Furniture {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/afd59616599d2af4407199ce323dc464e7f2ac65.png Located on the waterfront below the Mayor tower, Old Mate Jims hosts some upper scale furniture offerings with a premium feel and price tag. If you're tired of the dust and must of Trenchtowns Third Hand Furniture, head on down to Old Mate Jims and peruse the following launch stock: - Hammond Sleep King - Leather Black Lounge Chair - Upper Class Black Office Chair - Premium Green 2 Seater - Crud Brand Modern Couch - Crud Brand Double Bed New Lootable Weapon: Old Mailbox: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/9dd43cb3fafcf3811cd6999a67445d8b9ed6b296.png Need to deliver a thump to someones head in a pinch? Take a tour of Rockhavens residential properties and borrow someones Mailbox. It's a modern day warhammer, dealing a whopping 30 damage per swing, but be careful of the relatively low durability. New range of Steezy680ti Colorways: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/14ca364cf1978b071d1b0d1faef16ea10af12114.png Pop on over to Steezy and claim one of the new colorways dropping today, including: - Trackmeet - Ultra Coral - Atmosphere - Red November - Green Christmas And a hidden treasure cache: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/56327336c418840d843f05c959a87e48cd8e748d.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/1592add03d4fa975ab5a8b6af687127611d3593d.png Here's your clue: Somewhere in the city where dogs run free, look to the sky above the sea {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/90f88b7a4e05bacf7e7343b5dfb892bb4efe2b54.png - Fixed ATM music not respecting volume slider (now respects UI slider) - Fixed Balloon Gun not spawning in mission from barrel - *Possible* fix for a report that Hotwiring wasn't working on first attempt per vehicle

Howdy everyone, another week, another update, let's tuck in: Improvements to Nanas repeatable Combat Missions: Nana's repeatable combat missions are something we want to touch on progressively as we develop It's Only Money. We want them to be an exciting activity you can grind out, prepare for and enjoy multiple times. Today we're adding a new location where these encounters can take place, and some new possible enemy factions you'll run into when taking a Nana mission. New Location: Pound Town {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/e0b37aaa869656a4b2e774bee65e33f1f10db041.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/8c8a3d438eb98156cbe3ca67dc70f9ada5735426.png "Pound Town" is an under construction dog pound situated next to the Big Hit driving range. Built atop an old dockyard and water collection plant, it's a little musty, which attracts some troublemakers including Pat the Dog and his Pack. There's a few trampolines for traversal, and weapon looting spots eagle eyed players will spot. Aside from Stafford Storage, Nana will also send players to Pound Town for combat missions. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/7045afd4071319af47b0e249f08819830dc4d13d.png New Enemy Factions In Nana Repeatable Combat missions: When you take on a Nana mission, there's now a chance of 1 of 3 factions being your target. These include: Corrupt Goorana Men MOVR Squadron Pat the Dog's Pack These 3 factions can show up at any of the available combat locations. As we move forward with the weeklies, we want to continue to touch on the Repeatable Combat missions and improve or add mechanics, and exciting rewards, and hopefully turn it into a content stream that's enjoyable to revisit. Additionally, a small pass on in-game screens such as the Slimeway Manager and ATM {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/dcc251034b2a20bb43b4a5b44afb70667e3a0669.png A suite of new icons and rendering effects give the virtual monitors a distinct feel this week, as well as some usability improvements Chapter One Preview: Dr Powicks Undercity Upgrades {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/5f9f28e697f571b93953dea25d6c22df1fcb95de.png An eccentric Doctor is on his way to the Undercity in Chapter One! By helping Doctor Powick set up his new lab across the hall from the Beggar King, you'll be able to research and build various upgrades, some of which are long requested by the community. A few choice examples of potential upgrades include: - Increased Carrying Capacity - Increased Wallet Size - Teleporters that allow fast travel to friends Dr Powicks Lab will provide some meaningful upgrades, and some fun ways to tinker with the game at large. Once again, we're looking forward to the major update and will keep everyone posted. Have a good week!

Hey everyone, This week we lay some physical groundwork for Chapter One, and add a few new furniture items to Third Hand Furniture, including a very special piece. New Area: Lodge of the Three and surrounding Park {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/1289a7adeb63cab85bb4f20df1681be075e1a058.png A new area has emerged this week, including the secretive Lodge of the Three and its surrounding waterfront park. While the primary purpose of this landmass will be revealed in Chapter One, there's certainly signs of a mystery some eagle eyed players can start to unravel starting today. New Furniture Items At Third Hand Furniture {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/0205db40701e0ba631cdf41968945964936c464b.png Third Hand's stock doubles this week, with a few new admittedly lower class selections. Head on over to your favourite neighbourhood thrift store and buy the: Crud Brand Single Bed: Applies the Well Rested buff upon use Air Inflated Floaty Bed: Applies the Rested buff upon use Budget Co Plastic Chair: Usually reserved for BBQ's or social events, Third Hand ensures you can recreate that vibe any time. Sweaty Boy Gaming Chair: For when you feel the need to turn on your webcam and become a questionable personality for legions of weirdos, Third Hand now has your back. Last but not least, The Race Car Bed {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/7f0dc7e96429b2aab631a267fe0d2e1e466513b2.png The ultimate in sleeping satisfaction, hoon your way to a good nights sleep in the brand new Race Car Bed. It'll run you $600 at Third Hand, but it applies the elusive "Perfectly Rested" buff, dramatically increasing carrying capacity, stamina and damage. Plus, a little preview of some of what you'll be doing in Chapter One.. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/3eee0e3243614762736d04bb5dcdb36d7da1fd9d.gif You'll be covering an abduction shift for a new interstellar friend. Make sure you align the tractor beam correctly, or you'll cause someone to have a concussion instead of a new core memory. Not long to go!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/def483e6ddbe4cda1de4e7ea6c05053126fc7a78.png Howdy everyone, To kick off with some exciting news, we're in the final stages of putting together Chapter One. Once we've managed to knock everything together, we'll let the "Homies" in Discord play test, then we'll be able to settle on a firm date. We appreciate the patience, and we're super excited for you all to see what we've been cooking up. Let's jump into the weekly update notes: New Feature: Getaway Orbs {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/811b481768b966d0dafde3afd4e803cf616ce1f8.png Getaway Orbs are the latest way to help bring your bounty down in Rockhaven. The ethos behind them were to reward players who want to roleplay "hiding" from the cops a little more. While you have any amount of Bounty active, Getaway Orbs will start to spawn in cheeky spots around the city. Getaway Orbs come in two flavors, normal, and Mega, denoted by the varying color. Regular Getaway Orbs will clear $10 from your bounty, while Mega Orbs will decrease your bounty by $25. If you have a bounty, be sure to run through alleyways, climb rooftops, indulge your inner hide-and-seek mentality and you'll surely find a few. As soon as you have $0 Bounty, the Getaway Orbs will despawn from the City until you need them again. Six New Accolades First off, congratulations to the multiple community members along the way for completing every single Accolade in the game to this point. A huge achievement, and one we'll recognise formally in Rockhaven soon enough (among other Community triumphs). Accolades will continually be added throughout IOM's life, and so too will the rewards for completing them. This week we're adding two new accolade tracks, bringing the grand total to another 6. Car Crusher I/II/III: Crush Cars at Wheelies to Unlock Public Nuisance I/II/III: Raise your bounty while staying alive to unlock these Accolades New Pawn Store: Pier Pawn {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/2c2d30bf19ce4d024fd3cba92c636970aaf7282e.png We're also making efforts to add Pawn Stores to areas in Rockhaven that are missing that functionality. Until Chapter One comes, and the ability to raise your carrying capacity, it's good to offload what you can where you can. And with last weeks High/Low update, more Pawn Stores are always a good option to maximise profit. You can find the latest store next to the Basketball Courts near First Church and Rockhaven Bridge. New Shoes: Tonies Classic {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/c2f77131bf524a19823a4d06b1b754a863a57b02.png A classic silhouette hits the streets of Rockhaven. Available at Legit Kicks (opposite the Slimeway), the Tonies design drops in three colorways: Sensible Man (Black & White) Firehawk (Red) Ballpoint (Blue) Cop your pair today, and be on the lookout for some exciting variations coming soon. Have a great week everyone!

Hey everyone, this weeks content update features an overhaul to the Pawn store mechanics, allowing you to buy low and sell high around the city. Get ready to do some day trading! Pawn Store Overhaul {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/9d4482ae2b1202ebd838a37817528e8b06318fb8.png Entering a Pawn shop will allow you to buy and sell as usual, but there's an additional mechanic at play now. Looking to the top of the vendors inventory, you'll notice two boxes: Wanted & Clearance. Clearance items will be half off, allowing you to stock up on cheap goods. Wanted items can be sold for double their usual amount. Different Pawn shops are looking for different things, and their inventory and requests reset every midnight in-game time. So grab a car, haul around the city, buy low and sell high. Also be sure to pop into Sneddons to increase your Bank Inventory space, you might need it! SlimeAid Vending Machine and Item {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/c4f28923a4543fc934109a54e761a3229e588afb.png You may notice a new green vending machine in Rockhaven this week. It doesn't sell Conk'e Cola, it sells SlimeSip! A fantastic new drink that when consumed boosts the speed of pickpocketing success. Grab a can and get to work stealing. New Shop: Undercity Pawn {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/2b244d0bf50c213363eb3e6f71ef34a562dd6cbe.png Take a detour from the Beggar King and you'll notice a new trading post has opened up in the Undercity. Handy to dump off wares, or check the clearance items before you head on up into Rockhaven proper. Other Additions/Bug Fixes: - Added new items that intend to be used more substantially when Chapter One Drops: Sapphire Gem, Found on Rich Citizens Bluetooth Speaker, Found on Medium Income Citizens D-Battery, Found on Poor Citizens Spare Tire, Found in Car Inventories - Fixed some floor meshes that would cause NPC's to be stuck halfway in the ground.

Howdy everyone, Another smaller weekly update hits today, including some community requested features, and other tidbits that lay the groundwork for content coming in Chapter One. Let's get into it: Pickable Fruit Trees {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/e08aa13d946e5609ebf0bcdf0cb25832c45b32ac.png If you're broke and in need of a full belly, scour around the forests and greener parts of Rockhaven and look for Fruit Trees to steal an Apple or two from. The community has requested growable plants for their safehouses and other production methods, and this is our first step toward toward those systems. In the mean time, have fun committing crimes against nature. New Pawn Location: Underpass Pawn {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/e9246e221be3f34d3d8aad6b020c1728e6c845a4.png Located next door to Awesome Dragon Dojo, and across the way from Aoraki Stadium, the newest Pawn Shop in Rockhaven should make it a little easier to offload your ill-gotten gains for cash. New Ambient Vendor: Express Pawn {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/b65c6265e54bca78084693a3287152310a848bb5.png Speaking of making it easier to off-load, Ambient Pawn vendors will now spawn around Rockhaven. Be warned: These Pawn Vendors only buy at half the usual market price. So only use them in a pinch, or you know, rob them. It's up to you. All Black Steezy Collection: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/97d32a3654b703b4d6b42139488f2ba7fa960d8f.png New to Steezy is a hotly requested all black suite of Clothing, featuring sweats, a hoodie, a beanie and a pair of the 680ti's. Pop on over to Steezy Central and get yourself fitted up. Continued Performance work: We've steadily been chipping away at optimizing the game, and have noticed a small but appreciable FPS increase across the board, including handhelds like the Steam Deck and Ally. This is a continuing process, but thanks again to all those who've helped report issues. Known Issues: - Playing the game while running Razer Cortex can negatively impact performance, with at least one user reporting that it caps their frame-rate at 30. We're investigating what we can do from our end, but we recommend turning off Razer Cortex while playing It's Only Money if you're noticing performance problems. - Selecting Randomize while having a bald hairstyle can change your hair color and style when using a wardrobe - Some trees are giving out sticks instead of Apples. This will be fixed in a hotfix coming tomorrow Homies Preview As mentioned in an earlier update, Tenants become Homies in Chapter One. We wanted to take a moment to go in-depth with some of what this change entails. You'll free and move Homies into safehouses you own like normal, but now Homies can be tasked with following you, fighting with you, be assigned to business HUBs and participate in missions and Crookbook games with you throughout your time in Rockhaven. As they do this, they'll earn EXP and level up their star rating. With each star rating, they'll gain a point in one of three categories: Health, Body and Mind. Additionally, every Homie has a class, which will confer bonuses based on activities, and determine the combat moves they use. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/47e9bce98277390782ca7b31a08eb2adff50e8ac.png Housing will also debut a small overhaul in Chapter One. You'll still buy and furnish your safehouses with essentials like normal, but instead of property worth being a barrier to move people into, they'll now provide statistical bonuses to the assigned Homie. Simply put, the better a place is decorated, the more the property is worth, the more bonus points into the aforementioned stats a Homie will receive. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/f4b47cfb2560a4edd0e804b3c907462a13a3e16a.png We hope you're looking forward to the Homies overhaul, and the rest of the content coming in Chapter One. See you next week, and we hope you have a good one!

Howdy everyone, As mentioned last week, we're continuing our weekly updates but they'll be of a smaller variety as we're full steam ahead trying to get the various elements of Chapter One finished up and tested. We appreciate the patience the community has shown thus far. We're really looking forward to showing off more specifics, and more importantly, getting the update out as soon as we can. Let's go over what's in this weeks update: New Prop Hunt Zone: Green Island Shopping Square {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/9169128cbc75187d812a76e474bc4bc26c0bbfb6.png Weave in and out of Green Islands shopping square as you disguise yourself as various appliances, clothes racks and barrels in this new Prop Hunt Arena. Additionally, these zones will be used for a future activity debuting in Chapter One. Ambient Dialogue Additions and Improvements MOVR's now have ambient dialogue as they patrol the streets looking for citizens to scan, and undercitizens to fight. Additionally, several improvements have been made to police dialogue to better reflect the actions they're taking and the current status of your bounty. New Clothing {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/ac387db1e96916b842cc0d8cce0e84be79752f3e.png A range of new clothing and colorways hits Rockhaven today, including: - 3 New Boots at the Boot Boy Store - 3 New Tube Skirt Variants at "Finer Things" - New Leather Vest clothing piece, debuting in three different colors at "Misery" New Easter Egg: Pay Respects {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/f6b34bea4fc5b306878d64cf33393ab85bf89afd.png Today also marks the addition of our first easter egg. As time goes on, we'll quietly sneak these into the game for you to find, but figured we'd highlight this is now a feature you should be on the lookout for. Our first pays homage to a series and team that inspired us as a team. Pictured is a little hint on where to find it. Other Notes - New Junk Items added which will have further use in CH1 - Fixed various bugs submitted by community members Cheers everyone, have a great week!

How's it going, everyone? Another update hitting today touching on a widely requested feature, and some smaller fixes here and there. Let's get to it: Inventory Overhaul {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/93a83cddc5715793e548f6149aa793548e93b8e1.gif The community has long touched on the issue of item and inventory management. In the heat of action it's often hard or cumbersome to quickly swap to items you actually want to use, and we hope todays change makes it a little easier. From the ManageMe screen, you can now filter what sort of items auto-populate your hotbar. Be it consumables, tools or even junk, you can manually set your preferences for each slot. When you pick up items of these types, they'll take priority accordingly. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/f7d5386381e7398f20ee7724496e567cbaf7bd52.png Additionally, while you're running around in the open world, you can hold the key or button for any of these slots and pull up a rotating menu, allowing you to quickly equip the items you want to use. Let us know what you think of these changes! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/40da2e98e754eaf97c4dec7a6a04c770db430524.png New Ambient Weapon Spawns While running around in Rockhaven you might stumble across an interactable cleaning cart inside shops, or a wheelbarrow near construction sites. Looting these will provide you with one of two new weapons. The Construction Sledge, or the Cleaning Broom. The Sledge does a gargantuan amount of damage, but it only dishes out 4 hits before its broken. The Cleaning Broom has a little more durability, but packs a softer punch in comparison. New Clothing, including Beanies! Some folk in the community wanted more accessories, so starting today Steezy's selling beanies in one of 6 colourways. Additionally, Bo Jumbly's Trenchtown and Green Island are stocking a new type of jeans, one of which is a classic Denim colorway, so if you want to look like a Dad, there's something for you. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/c8e967d794f2f408945482989d6b8c658bcb3237.png More Dialogue and Bug Fixes We've expanded the range of dialogue Rockhaven citizens will say, with a further 100 lines depending on the situation. We've also taken care of a few bugs here and there as we go, and will continue to on our way to Chapter One. Speaking of, enjoy a small preview, and have a great week! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42822923/70e8b1ecf0bbd6c5f8a4444b575c3d0f9ab4c099.gif
