Hello everyone!
Thank you for your continued support of Silly Polly Beast. We just rolled out a new patch today which addresses some miscellaneous remaining issues and concerns which trail from the prior patch from last week. As a quick note, don't be confused by the "1.0" - this is internal versioning and does not refer to the actual version of the game relative to release candidate. As a note to those who have supported the game elsewhere, this patch will also be rolled out on consoles within the next day or two.
You can find the changelog below.
Balancing:
Mrs. Smith's speed has been rebalanced in the Episode 5 boss fight.
Player can now deflect grenades back at enemies.
Several location fixes in Episodes 2, 3 and 5, preventing softlock situations and possible geometry issues
Small chance to get B-ammo drop from the random box.
Bugs/other:
Fixed font clipping/cut-off with non-Latin characters for long text strings
Fixed a bug where the player couldn’t scroll through phone messages using a gamepad
Fixed the "red tint issue" on certain displays using HDR & YUV422/Non-RGB color formats
TAA-related Shader Fixes
Fixes to one shader causing an issue on some displays
As mentioned in our last post, we will continue to keep an eye out for player feedback and continue to improve the user experience. This patch has been rolled out to sync both the main and beta branches, so this patch is now out on both.
Also, as mentioned prior, we have archived older, pre-balancing builds rather than getting rid of them for those who prefer certain builds. In case you missed it from the last post, the initial release variant of the game can be still accessed via branch password "archivedbuilds" (no quotes). For those who prefer the pre-balance changes of the game, we want to ensure these builds were still accessible. Note we cannot back-patch issues such as TAA and Font fixes however, which are included in the now-live build on main & beta.
