POSTAL 4: No Regerts - "Boosted Karts & Boosted Frames" Update [1.4.0]
POSTAL 4: No Regerts · published
Hello!
Hello POSTAL community!
It’s update time again! A few new features and improvements to hold you over until we get the Co-Op implemented. We know many are getting frustrated at the long wait for co-op, we underestimated the task at hand - but be assured it’s still coming.
We are happy to finally bring you AMD Super Resolution 2 (FSR 2.2) and Nvidia Super Resolution and Frame generation (DLSS 3.7). (No FSR 3.0 frame gen for now, that may come in a future update.)
As well as gaining frames in this update, you’ll also be able to gain some (in game) cash! We have shamelessly recycled some existing gameplay mechanics, so The Dude has a few side hustles he can embark on. Catch more animals! Get more petition signatures! Tag more billboards! We have also added a new racing time trial - this time using the Kart!
With this newly boosted economy, we needed to introduce more ways to waste money so… Introducing the Skinporium! A one stop shop for all your Weapon cosmetic needs.
Another new gameplay feature that no one asked for but we added it anyway - a Turret!
Full change log with more details can be seen below. Much respect to you all, and thanks for your continued support!
The Running With Scissors team

More Ongoing Side-Errands!
Kart Time Trial Challenge in the Affluent tile!
Your legs might not go, but your kart can! Race your Mobility Kart through various checkpoints in town and win fabulous prizes!
Animal Catcher Extension on Tuesday and going forward!
Your exemplary animal catching services have warranted an extended contract for the rest of the week! This time, it's cold, hard cash for every warm, tender morsel! I mean, animal. Current going rate is $50 per Cat and $100 per Dog.
Make all deliveries to the previous station at the north side of town or bring them to the brand new satellite office on the south side, just outside of Cock Asian!
Note: Animal Catcher errand must first be completed, if you begin a New Game on Tuesday forward, it will not activate. Completing the main errand in a Pacifist way will also not activate the Animal Catcher Extension on Tuesday.
Volunteer Petitioner on Thursday, accessible after escaping from the Dark Lodge!
Convince people to sign yet another petition for a good cause! That cause being money which goes into your pocket! Go for the hard sell!
Tag Turf Return on Wednesday and going forward!
Show the locals who really owns the town by hitting any unmarked billboards with your personal tag, and get an instant cash reward to boot! But beware! Rival gangs might not take too kindly to an outsider getting up in their turf!
Weapon Cosmetic vending machine!
Pigeon poop splat decals!
More weapon cosmetics!
Turret Going POSTAL Challenge in the Industrial tile (More to come!)
