Weekly Update 12 is now live on Steam. Here’s a summary of the biggest changes. Stones In Lumberjack Simulator, there are now two resources the player can build with.

Weekly Update 11 is now live on Steam! Here’s a summary of the biggest changes... Revised UI This week we overhauled the layout of the editor UI. As we’ve developed Future Perfect, we’ve been adding new editor features and concepts as we discovered the need. As a result there wasn’t too much rhyme or reason to the layout. Although we still have more to implement, it feels like we’ve got a prett…

Weekly Update 9 is now live on Steam. Here’s a summary of the biggest changes. Player Movement One long standing issue we tackled in this update is player movement bugs.

The bug was caused by the “s…

For Update 7 we’ve continued working on the Heist game mode. Bomb One of the new elements for the Heist game is a bomb. The bomb is a throwable item that counts down before it explodes. Like everything we’re making, we designed the artwork for the bomb to be “universal”. The goal is to have a distinctive look, but allow the model to be re-used for other purposes; our bomb has an explosive paylo…

Originally posted by Max on the Future Perfect blog: Click here. One of the decisions we made early on in development was that we weren’t going to treat the view of the body from first person differently than from third person. In Natural Selection 2 (and most first person games) when you see your arms and hands from first person, you’re looking at a special model that’s designed specifically f…

This has been a short week for development due to the Tuesday release and the Thanksgiving holiday in the US. We still have some good things for you though! Most importantly we’ve been working on fixing a handful of critical bugs. Fortunately we were able to catch them quickly and put out fixes the same day. We’re in “earliest access” so there will be bugs, but we’ll try as hard as we can to ma…
