TY the Tasmanian Tiger 2 news & patch notes

Hi all! Struth! A new TY2 build, chockers with goodies!

How do you get it?

• Quit and relaunch Steam to make sure you get the lastest build data
• Right click on the game in your library and select "Properties"
• Change to the "Betas" tab
• And select "experimental" from the drop down! (no password required)

Why Open Beta?

• There are a LOT of changes and we want to make sure that things work well across a variety of different hardware configurations
• So we'd love for people to give it a fair shake of the sauce bottle, and let us know any issues in the Bug Sub Forum
• Please see the pinned "Sending Krome Studios pub reports" post for details on what we'd like if you hit an issue

So What's Been Added?

TWO new boomerangs

The Craftyrang

Hand-crafted by Shiela's advanced pre-school class from the finest repurposed wood remnants. It has a hair trigger and really packs a wallop.

The Camerarang

*click* Looking great! *click* You're a (Tasmanian) tiger, baby! Yeah! *click* Bush Rescue HQ has prepared a new Rang for TY, perfectly crafted to capture the moment. Introducing the Camerang! (cue the video...) Camerang Features Combat

• Stun those pesky Frills by throwing the Camerang toward them, generating bombarding camera flashes.

Camera Mode

• Of course, you could use the Camerang for how it's intended... taking photos!
• Pause the action to line up the perfect shot - adjusting angle, zoom and much more.
• Apply filters such as; Blur, Toon or Pixelate.
• Strike a pose by switching to Selfie Mode, presenting multiple pose options for TY.

Once you get your hands on this rang, be sure to share your masterpieces with your friends!

More Skins!

• three new TY skins and three new fourbie skins!

Updated Infrarang FX

• We've updated the effects on the infrarang, for your visual enjoyment, to be like the upgraded visuals that we added to TY1HD

We hope you enjoy these updates and can help us by sending through details on any issues that occur, so we can do the full release early in 2022! ==================== Australian to Understandable English Rosetta Stone

• ripsnorter = something extraordinary
• struth = to express surprise (or dismay... it's surprise in our case)
• chockers = full of
• fair shake of the sauce bottle = give something a try / a chance

Hi all, We've released a new patch for TY2, which is a miscellaneous bug fix build. Changes in this version are as per the below. If there are any problems, please let us know. Cheers Linds Art

• Small fix for clamping of UI art in shops.

Audio

• Small tweaks to volumes of NPC lasers.

Camera

• Fix for camera popping out of water when TY gets hurt or does a claim (picks up a collectable) underwater.
• Fix for a camera-getting-stuck issue.

Controls

• Reset to Default no longer removes bindings for non-rebindable keys.
• Don't require the player to neutralise the input when changing to first person view camera before it will begin responding to input.
• Updated mouse aiming for rang throwing with fixes so that rangs don't throw into the ground when the camera is pointed at the ground (eg, normal third person gameplay).

Crash Fixes

Massive Level Design Changes With Impacts Beyond the Realms of Space and Time

• Removed duplicate Naomi from Burramudgee.

Save Games

UI

• Wiggle controls (eg to shake off Frills attached to Bunyips) string updated to handle gamepad and keyboard controls.
• Bunyip Mortar control instructions now gives the correct controls for all languages. (Left/right stick were swapped, and no mention of Right Trigger to fire, in non-English languages).
• Fixed subtitles for non-English languages, that had broken button icons displayed
• Fixed the text that is displayed when the game cannot find a TY2 save game
• Fix for dunny not animating when playing all tracks or random tracks (ie, multiple races without returning to frontend between).
• On the rang hud, hide the "what direction is the gamepad stick being held" UI graphic element, when the sticks are not being used.

Hi all, A new build of TY2 (r3499_v108) has been released. The major addition to this build is the new Hardcore Mode! http://www.kromestudios.com/share/TY2_Hardcore_banner.png In Hardcore mode we've removed all bonus lives and respawning - you literally have life to get through the game. If you do happen to lose a life; we helpfully reset your save game and restart your adventure. We've added two new leaderboards (Hardcore Game Complete and Hardcore 100% Game Complete) and two new achievements (Completing the game in Hardcore and 100% Completing the Game in Hardcore) for your troubles! We hope that this provides a little bit of replayability for you all (and maybe bragging rights!). And cheats are disabled in Hardcore mode :) http://www.kromestudios.com/share/TY2_Hardcore.gif Additionally, we're happy to announce that TY3 has been released in to Early Access! As part of TY3's release, TY1 is currently on sale to celebrate; and if you own TY1 or TY2, you should receive an extra bonus discount for buying TY3 during this first week of Early Access - as we've increased the launch discount to 22% across the board! http://store.steampowered.com/app/411980/TY_the_Tasmanian_Tiger_3/ Lastly, the following bug fixes are also in this new TY2 build:

• ART: Made grill texture in the Never Never doublesided, so it draws correctly from both directions.
• ART: clamped edge pixels of the mouse icons to stop icon corruption
• ART: Increased the number of maximum explosions that can render at once
• ART: Disabled timed-bonus Christmas skin costume
• ART: Re-added support for grass overlays
• CART RACING: Tweaked the difficulty of the AI to try to ensure people don't get stuck losing races, forever.
• CONTROLS: Fixed a force clamping bug where large movement forces can change your direction when only one axis is clamped.
• CONTROLS: Fixed support for sneaking when using KB&M (SHIFT key by default)
• GAMEPLAY: Fixed the "react to bunyip punches only" flag, so that the vehicles blocking the A-path in the first level can't be blown up by rangs, causing a non-progression issue
• MISC: Crash fixes for various thread-safe issues
• MISC: Prevent mouse from changing button selection or clicking on buttons while rebinding an action to fix a crash.
• RANGS: Fixes to the doomerang controls
• UI: Moved some overlapping arrow buttons to lessen sound spamming when moving around them with the mouse.

Hi all, We're looking good to release TY2 out of Early Access tomorrow - it'll be the same build that is in the EXPERIMENTAL branch right now! When we release from Early Access, the price will be increasing to $14.99USD (and local equivalents). As per our previous posts, our intention is that the game will not go on sale for the first 3 months post-release from Early Access. Happy TY playing everybody! Cheers Linds http://cdn.edgecast.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/28002635/93f14c6186f639cafdfc05859faf71ac3746d772.jpg

CHANGES

• AUDIO: Fix for multiple sounds playing when using mouse to hover over/around UI elements
• GRAPHICS: Fixed underwater object rendering issues (models missing)
• GRAPHICS: Font no longer takes lighting and shadows for in-game text
• UI: Fixed input for the credits screen so that you can skip it/quit it

Hey all, We have some exciting news for you all! Unless there is an unexpected problem, TY the Tasmanian Tiger 2: Bush Rescue, will release from Early Access early next week! At this point the price of the game will increase to $14.99USD (and equivalent prices across other currencies). As has been our policy for our previous releases, we will not be discounting the game for any sales for at least 3 months post-exit of Early Access. This is to ensure that the people who have supported us throughout Early Access are not in any way price disadvantaged. Lastly, the TY2 soundtrack will become available for purchase when the game leaves Early Access, and we expect to shortly thereafter set up appropriate Bundles. Then we're going to go see The Last Jedi. In the drive to the v1.00 release, we have also released a new build on to the EXPERIMENTAL branch! This build has a variety of small fixes, as well as language translation updates for all languages. Any feedback on breaking issues that would effect the full launch would be, as normal, greatly appreciated. Thank you to everybody who has been part of this journey so far. Hopefully we'll have some more good news for you, early in 2018. Cheers! Lindsay

r3040_v082 Changes

• ART: Up-res for textures for several actors (Clarence, Bruce, Orchid, Snappy, Bruno, Red, Boonie, Goannas)
• AUDIO: Projectiles now play the targets hit sound if needed.
• AUDIO: The thermo-bunyip trigged switches in Wulli Wulli Oil Rig now play a sound when hit by the water from the thermo bunyip.
• CONTROLS: Both analog sticks on the controller can now control the doomerang
• CRASH: fix for some rendering issues that can cause driver crashes from primitive render calls.
• GRAPHICS: Fixed the underwater fog effect
• LOCALIZATOIN: Updated all French, German, Spanish, Italian, Swedish and Danish lines that required translations.... unless we missed any! :)
• UI: Boomerang Hud - gamepad direction pointer is hidden when not using gamepad as current input.
• UI: NoisyButtonGroup, ScrollingButtonGroup - play sound when changing selected item using the mouse.
• UI: Pause Menu keyboard and mouse bindings - moved the "Reset to Default" and "Back" buttons upwards so they are onscreen.
• UI: Updated the steam and opengl messages to refer to "TY the Tasmanian Tiger 2".
• VIDEOS: Updated the videos in the extras menu of the main menu. The 2003 attract video is our original video from E3 2003, and contains footage of some of the content that didn't make the final cut. I don't believe that this video will have been seen by the general public previously. The 2004 Attract video is the video that was in the original release of the game. These are (quite obviously) lower quality than what people are used to these days; but they are the highest quality that we have!

Please let us know any/all issues, ASAP! Cheers Linds

• GRAPHICS: Fixed issue with terrain shadows popping on/off at various points around the level
• MISC: Fix for boot up sequence to not flash the screen twice, to initialise the MSAA
• MISC: Removed some various debug logs
• PERFORMANCE: Fixed up packages for the game, that were causing load stalls
• UI: Added pointer arrow to rang selection to help you aim at the rangs in the rang wheel
• UI: Skin selection screen - user can now change the selection to un-owned skins, but can't see the name or what they look like still, and can't select them and apply to their character/vehicle. Allows easier navigation using the gamepad.

Please let us know any/all issues, ASAP! Cheers Linds

Hi all, This is a quick update - mostly to sort out the DPI issue on Win7 machines. It has had limited testing.

CHANGES

• ART: Small fix for North icon on minimap
• AUDIO: Misc sound range and volume changes for various SFX
• CRASH: Fixed DPI dll crash on Win7 machines
• GRAPHICS: Small change to dynamic lighting to remove a hack that was making more intense contrast

Any problems, please continue to let us know! Cheers Linds
