Hello everyone! Today we have a big version increase from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1, AMAZING, I know. This is because we're preparing for another switch patch which benefits from splitting up the updates in big chunky numbers. Anyway! Some fun fixes and even new features for today! Changes · Added Online Leaderboards for the Daily Mountain challenge! · To help you with the daily mountain you now get two r…
Mostly just a little hotfix for yesterday's big patch! Changes · Made the ejection checking a little bit less zealous. This was causing some players to jump at unexpected times when the system thought they were completely overlapping the wall. · Cosmetics unlocked from expeditions are now automatically granted whenever a save file is loaded. They are also set to unlocked more rigidly. · The amo…

Not a lot of bullet points today, because we're tackling some deep under the hood Unity stuff. Changes · Fixed a bug that would cause the loading times to increase slightly with every retry, freezing the game if players retried enough. · Addressed a Unity physics bug that would cause so many events it would overwhelm the system and bring down the frames per seconds to single digits. Put catches…
Hello everyone! Thank you all for the bug reports! We were able to squash some major ones in this update! Changes · Parachute opens automatically and has more uses. · You keep usable items when choosing to continue after a death or retrying an expedition. Wearable equipment is still lost upon death. (Testing this out to see if it would be a good change!) · Fix for players inadvertently teleport…
Hey all! Come and get your daily set of patches and bugfixes! Changes · Fixed a big issue where some people would get stuck on wait times in dialogue if their system's locale didn't recognize '.' as a valid decimal point. · Reworked the rope winching between co-op players a bit. The bottom player can now hold jump to shorten the rope! · Fixed the invisible options menu for real this time. · Fix…

Hello climbers! We did it, the game is finally here! You can grab a copy and swing by Mount Om RIGHT NOW! It's been more than 3 years since me (Jonas) and Jasper started working on this game together. We meant for this project to only take one and a half years, but as we worked on the game it kept growing in ambition, so it kept getting pushed further into the future. It feels surreal that we c…
Recently we sent out a very exciting announcement telling you that the game would be coming out on May 9. That's no longer the case.

Hello there climbers! You might not know this, but Surmount is made by a very small team, me (Jonas) and Jasper are the sole developers. I do the art and Jasper do the programming, the rest is pretty much 50/50. But we've also got a few friends to help us out. The talented Ryan Yoshikami, who also does the music for Loddlenaut, makes all the music for Surmount. He did a wonderful job, after hun…
