The First Patch!

OUTCLAW · published

Hey folks!

I hope you’re all having an excellent time playing Outclaw so far - thank you to everyone who has played so far, and to those who are hoping to do so soon; and thank you to everyone who has left feedback for us so far.

Thank you so much for all of your support so far, as of right now, we’ve hit 180 sales, which is a huge milestone for us! We’re so incredibly grateful 💫

Obviously now the game has been out for a couple days, y’all have been able to let us know about any issues you’ve encountered - so thank you, it’s incredibly helpful! So we’re here just to let you know a list of some of the common bugs we’re aware of, and are currently developing fixes for:

  • Various spelling mistakes

  • Strange behaviour concerning the water levels and saving

  • Minor graphical errors

  • Keychain indexing 

  • More narrative clarification

  • A very weird hook platform in the depths

We hope they don’t impact your experience too much, and they will be fixed as soon as possible. The code monkies are hard at work!

For now, however, we're excited to let you know we now have a 1.1 patch just in time for the weekend. Here’s a list of things we have patched:
