Blood West v4.2.0

Howdy y'all. We're back again with another update for Blood West (+ Dead Man's Promise)Some really nice quality of life improvements for v4.2.0 in hereSo roll one up and have a gander!

Version: 4.2.0
Date: 02.25.2025

Improvements:

• Artwork for every codex entry - yes, that’s right. You enjoyed having drawings for new monsters in Dead Man’s Promise so much we decided to update every single codex note in the game!
  
• Level up icon will now hide automatically when the traits screen is visited
• Information on the top of the screen will no longer pop up on top of each other
• The item wheel (~) got a new coat of paint!
• Chapter 2: Story spoiler! The Undead will now be more open about his actions toward another NPC
• Chapter 2: Boss now moves faster when enraged (rawr)
• Chapter 2: Priest location at the Fort should be easier to find now.
  (Just listen for somebody coughing their lungs out)
• Chapter 2: Cinematic intro is now voiced by The Shaman (Redd Pepper himself)
  (Further tying the story of this chapter and Dead Man’s Promise together)
• Main menu now shows if you have Dead Man's Promise installed.
• Settings menu has been reorganized into tabs to help you find the thing you’re looking for faster!
• Explosion from Dynamite now attracts enemies. Be careful with those sticks!
• Quick slot UI is now stacked vertically by default.(Can be changed back to horizontal in the Settings menu)(Also looks great in Ultrawide)
• Optimization that should slightly improve RAM usage
• Painting Cutter is no longer tradeable (don't wanna miss any cool secrets)
• A handful of small visual improvements and glitches fixed as well

Bug fixes:

• Fixed an issue where, under specific circumstances, it would be impossible to save a game if the save name contained special characters. This fix will also make sure no new saves with special characters can be created anymore.
• Fixed an issue where music would stop playing when fighting the Chapter 3 boss
• Fixed an issue where the Emerald Eyes weapon would stop giving better prices after Save & Load
• Fixed an issue where the Chapter 1 boss wouldn’t take damage from specific weapons
• Fixed sound issues related to spears
• Fixed an issue where Death Stalkers spawned via Music Box could respawn like a normal enemy
• Fixed a visual bug where flames would remain in the player’s hand after lighting up a Molotov or Dynamite
• Eliminated few smaller, controller related bugs

So what's next on the agenda?

• Achievements are coming to Dead Man's Promise!
• A bestiary! (gotta make good use of all that codex art!)
• Steam Deck verification!
• New items, quests and artifacts!
• Annabelle romance sub plot! (you wish)
