It’s out!
And I’m wiping your save data! (Sorry, it has to happen for the new stuff to work lol).
But yeah I’m excited to give you guys the PIGFACE Crafting update, featuring a new crafting system as well as a remix mode for (almost) all story levels! And of course there are also new pieces of equipment you get to unlock, and a new mask …
The crafting system will now function as the way the player will craft unlockable meds and items found via blueprints. It makes the gameplay a lot more “scroungy” which I think reinforces what makes PIGFACE feel like PIGFACE.
Remixes also add a lot more of that old-school “alt gamemode” feeling while giving you guys an excuse to try out different loadouts in different scenarios. They also feature a new gang, the Junkies, who wear paper bag masks and like using shotguns and making traps.
Apart from that, there’s the new Urban Plaza map which takes places in a snowy and desiccated financial section of the city. I wanted to lean into a bit of a post-apocalypse vibe for this one, since that’s where this city’s headed anyways …
I’m really looking forward to how you guys like the new stuff, especially pertaining to the balance changes and flow from a fresh save. It’s made playing the game again from start to finish, for me, way more fun.
Anyways, I’m rambling, I’m very happy with the state of the game now and I’m just excited haha. Enjoy it!
