This is the one we kept calling the coziest patch - and we meant it. 1.3 adds a new app to your desktop, two more endings, new things to read and dig through, and a pile of small stuff that makes the whole desktop feel more alive.
A lot of it comes straight from you - your reviews, your bug reports, the screenshots of things that really should not have happened. Some changes are tiny. Some open doors you didn't know were there. ;>
Two quick things before you dig in: the game now speaks four new languages - Simplified Chinese, Russian, Spanish and German - and to celebrate, Smile Dog is -30% off right now. Good time to send it to someone you like. Or someone you don't. ;)
What's in this update:
- Two new endings: a true ending and a new secret one - the coziest yet. They're in there. Finding them is on you.
- ChillSweeper, a new app sitting on your desktop. Looks like a normal little game at first. It doesn't stay that way.
- Text files - a new kind of file you can unlock, open from the desktop, and read for extra pieces of lore.
- Photos - another new file type, saved out of your mails and opened straight from the desktop.
- New mails to find, and more reasons to actually write back.
- Drag attachments right from the desktop into an email - the installer, photos, text files - with new reactions to whatever you send.
- An Achievements app on the desktop, and 6 new achievements to go with it (the secret ones stay hidden until you earn them).
- A small crossover with our next game, Shopska Salad. Go find it.
Desktop & gameplay comfort:
- The desktop behaves more like a real OS now - better animations for opening, closing, minimizing and restoring windows.
- Icons feel nicer to mess with (dragging, scaling, click feedback), and your layout actually saves and comes back where you left it.
- Clearer taskbar: active apps, a little blink when something new happens, and harder-to-miss mail notifications.
- Achievements now work locally too, even with no Steam around, with new icons and statuses.
Streamer Mode:
- New Streamer Mode hides your Steam username and your friends' names while you record.
- The game also keeps it together when Steam isn't running or you're on a standalone build.
Fixes:
- The ACCESS_DENIED achievement finally behaves, just as it should.
- Fixed a few window focus and app-restore weirdnesses.
- More stable save state.
- Localization and missing-text fixes.
- Smaller UI, notification and taskbar fixes all over the desktop.
- And there's more where that came from.
What's next?
More to read, more reasons to open that inbox, and - knowing us - another batch of fixes. :D
