• The minimap is now disabled when within a Boss area (as originally intended).
• Fixed the rangs showing their slotted abilities while in flight (but still not allowing them to be changed until caught).

Hi all, Just a quick update that we've just pushed live a change to Steamworks to enable three more achievements, for unlocking the various skins. These won't be achievable with your current code, but will be in the full v1.00 release ! We're pushing them live so we can do final checks, before the big day. Cheers! Linds

Hi all, We're nearing the end of the road for the release of TY3 out of Early Access and the date is set - 17th December 2018 (Pacific Time)! When we release, there'll be a few things change (note that several of these are reliant on the Steam backend updating etc - from previous releases, sometimes this can take up to an hour to propogate):

• The base price of the game will increase to $14.99USD (and equivalent for other locations - basically, the same price you see for TY1 or TY2).
• We will be releasing the TY the Tasmanian Tiger 3 soundtrack DLC, for $4.99USD (with a 10% launch discount)
• For those of you who've already purchased the game; there will also be a Digital Deluxe bundle released; allowing you to "catch up" on the soundtrack DLC for a 5% discount.
• We'll also be releasing a "Boomerang Collection" bundle - of all four TY games (and a Deluxe Boomerang Collection for those people that want the soundtracks and TY1 artbook too!)

There are also a few game changes that will come with the build that we will release as v1.00!

• Updated TY invlunerability effect (to make it more like TY1 and TY2).
• Updated enemy death and respawn effects. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32130970/f44b35c802e3a4ee3b3514c5468118a3ca20764b.gif
• A large whack of new HD Repainted textures.
• A new "What Could Have Been" video, in the extras menu; as well as the TY recap video.
• A variety of small bug fixes from issues reported on the forums (thank you everybody!).
• A few crash fixes.

As per our previous releases, TY3 will not be put on discount for at least a 3 month period post-launch. Thank you to everybody who's supported us during Early Access. We have a couple of things afoot for TY that we're hoping to be able to share with you all in 2019. Cheers Linds

Hi all, We're pleased to announce that a new build of TY3 is now available. We know it's been a while since there's been an update - but hopefully you will agree, from the content listed out below, that it's been worth the wait! If there are any problems, please let us know! Cheers Linds

Hi all, I know we've been a little quiet - sorry! We're still working away on things, trying to tie up a few of the last headache bugs. The major feature we're working on at the moment is replayable boss fights. We'll be looking to release a new build once that is in place (I don't have an ETA at the moment). After that we will begin to investigate options for text-only localization and implementation of TY costumes, crabmersible skins etc. Cheers Linds

Hi all, Sorry for the delay; we had a few of these bug fixes that didn't stay fixed that we needed to revisit! Changes in this build: ART

CONTROLS

• Fixed race and gunyip controllers being incorrectly configured if you went into minigame select and then returned to main menu and played the normal game.
• Fix for keybinding screen "Reset To Default" removing bindings for non-rebindable keys.

• TY2 rang mouse aiming changes ported to TY3 Updated with fixes so that rangs don't throw into the ground when the camera is pointed at the ground (eg, normal third person gameplay).
• Keybindings and gamepad settings should save on exit of the "Keyboard & Mouse" and "Gamepad" base settings screens.
• Save the adjusted camera distance delta after the user finishes adjusting it. (ported from TY2).
• Fix gamepad not being able to use the left stick to change options in pause menu during races/gunyip battles.

GAMEPLAY

• Implementation of fast travel between towns - once you have found Boss Cass in Cassopolis https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32130970/395c6f36adc3cd8cb51f3f7aa07a07a640699091.png

Hey all, We've been taking a few days to go through peoples' posts on any issues in the game, and we've just got a new build in to our testing now. Unless we hit any issues, we're looking to getting it out into your hands early next week (our Monday, hopefully). In this next build:

• ACHIEVEMENTS: Fix for a couple of achievements not properly rewarding unless you did a manual save (the calls now also go through the autosave system)
• CAMERA: Fixed camera getting stuck pointing up or down; when sliding along collision
• CRASH: Fix for crash when you get an opal bag for completing a minigame a second time in the one play session, and the opal bag is rewarded in a cutcene.
• GAMEPLAY: fix for biting while on an elevator making you fall through the elevator
• GAMEPLAY: The door in the first level where you first fight the quinkan in the shadow bunyip can now be destroyed by punching it
• PERFORMANCE: Fix the lash hooks causing "launch through the air" issues at low framerate.
• RACES: Updates to race hud to match the improvements made in TY2 style. http://www.kromestudios.com/share/TY3cartUI.jpg
• RACES: Race Hud now supports both splitscreen modes.
• RACES: Count-in timer is now all graphically purty like in TY2
• SETTINGS: Setting the shadows to "off" now properly reloads that setting when you restart the game.
• SETTINGS: Fix for the prop detail setting being used properly on restart of the game.
• UI: Fixed control text box description of bunyip controls. (swapped punch/fire actions)
• UI: Fix for visiblity of scroll arrows in the UI (so they don't appear when you can't scroll)
• UI: Fix for keybinding "SPACE" exiting the screen
• UI: Made the location name banner use the same texture as we updated TY2 to use.
• UI: Fix for wrong action appearing on keybindings screen for cart secondary fire. We still have to fix the "fire backwards" not working correctly - if you are having this issue, a work around is to bind RMB (or their preferred key) to fire secondary weapon, or reset controls to default.

I'll post again when the build is released Cheers! Linds

Hey all, We've been taking a few days to go through peoples' posts on any issues in the game, and we've just got a new build in to our testing now. Unless we hit any issues, we're looking to getting it out into your hands early next week (our Monday, hopefully). In this next build:

• ACHIEVEMENTS: Fix for a couple of achievements not properly rewarding unless you did a manual save (the calls now also go through the autosave system)
• CAMERA: Fixed camera getting stuck pointing up or down; when sliding along collision
• CRASH: Fix for crash when you get an opal bag for completing a minigame a second time in the one play session, and the opal bag is rewarded in a cutcene.
• GAMEPLAY: fix for biting while on an elevator making you fall through the elevator
• GAMEPLAY: The door in the first level where you first fight the quinkan in the shadow bunyip can now be destroyed by punching it
• PERFORMANCE: Fix the lash hooks causing "launch through the air" issues at low framerate.
• RACES: Updates to race hud to match the improvements made in TY2 style. http://www.kromestudios.com/share/TY3cartUI.jpg
• RACES: Race Hud now supports both splitscreen modes.
• RACES: Count-in timer is now all graphically purty like in TY2
• SETTINGS: Setting the shadows to "off" now properly reloads that setting when you restart the game.
• SETTINGS: Fix for the prop detail setting being used properly on restart of the game.
• UI: Fixed control text box description of bunyip controls. (swapped punch/fire actions)
• UI: Fix for visiblity of scroll arrows in the UI (so they don't appear when you can't scroll)
• UI: Fix for keybinding "SPACE" exiting the screen
• UI: Made the location name banner use the same texture as we updated TY2 to use.
• UI: Fix for wrong action appearing on keybindings screen for cart secondary fire. We still have to fix the "fire backwards" not working correctly - if you are having this issue, a work around is to bind RMB (or their preferred key) to fire secondary weapon, or reset controls to default.

I'll post again when the build is released Cheers! Linds

We are happy to announce that TY the Tasmanian Tiger 3: Night of the Quinkan, is now available for purchase through Steam in Early Access! http://www.kromestudios.com/share/TY3%20EA%20Countdown%200.png For this first week of Early Access, instead of adding an additional discount if you own one of the other TY games, we've just set the launch discount at 22% instead. Because you all own TY1 or TY2 anyways, right!? We've got a fair bit to add to TY3 during Early Access - but the game is completable from start to finish, and there are already a bevvy of achievements to obtain and fun to be had! Our immediate plans are to ensure that the release is as stable as possible (if there are any issues that come up fro m the build being released to the wild!), and from there we'll then let you all know our next steps. There are a few stickied forum posts up for you to start giving us some specific feedback - particularly in regards to ideas for achievements and controls for the new minigame elements. We hope you enjoy playing TY3; and what we'll be adding to the game through Early Access. Cheers Linds
