Hello Otters!

Thanks for your feedback and support. We're always listening. As always, please feel free to join us on our social channels or Discord if you have any questions about the game!

ADDED

. New Jetpack Input

From players feedback we have added a new input for Jump and Jetpack - this is on the left trigger - we have not removed the old mapping so not to confuse players who are already used to the mapping for Jumping and Jetpacking.

Improved Keyboard Support

Player feedback suggested the need for improved keyboard support. The input icons will now show the appropriate icons when using either keyboard or controller.

FIXES

Bug Fix

Bug fixed that required you to click on the game window to have input for other controllers to join the game - you can now boot the game up, press the Join button on controllers 2 - 4 and they will join the game

Controller swap fix

Bug where the controllers would swap, if the keyboard was used first

Keyboard fix

Now when keyboard is used then the controller, controller 1 will be for player 1

Steam VR fix

Steam VR plug-in issue has now been resolved - This will stop The Otterman Empire from launching in Steam VR

Steam Controller fix

Steam controller plug-in has now been enabled allowing for the use of the Steam controller for the game

Start Menu Bug (Versus)

Versus mode: When Paused during a round, selecting "Play" to restart the game didn't unpause the game

Controller Disconnect

The game freezes when the controller is unplugged, causing the music to continuing playing while there is no input

Video walkthrough

For a full break down of our first Steam patch our creative director, Kieran Rogers will walk you through on our official Steam patch video down below.
