POSTAL 4: No Regerts · published · build 22092632
Hello all! You might have seen the announcement of our new project out next year, Flesh & Wire!
https://runningwithscissors.com/games/flesh-and-wire/ This does NOT mean work on P4 has ended. We still have a core team working on P4 and furthermore, some of the talent we've hired to work on F&W (such as a tech artist and lighting artist) will also be contributing to help further polish P4 over the course of the coming year. Today we've updated the Public Beta branch, available via the in-game main menu-select it from there and it'll reboot the game into the beta branch. It contains progress toward the upcoming ‘Polishing a Turd’ update. This patch focuses on resolving numerous intrusive bugs, refining game balance, AI and combat improvements, and several quality-of-life improvements. Co-op stability and functionality have also seen enhancements. Sorry if a change you hoped to see has not made this patch, we are still monitoring feedback and will keep on polishing the game for the foreseeable future.
