’Exploding Pussies’ Update

In this update we introduce the natural evolution of the cat silencer - The Cat Grenade! Combine a cat with a grenade, target and NPC, and watch as kitty bolts it towards them, to then explode on impact.

Another nice improvement in this update is the NPC AI. In some areas (such as the main street at the start) NPC’s now go about their lives with more purpose rather than milling about aimlessly. For example, one might wander into the Laundromat, check on their washing, then sit down and check their phone while they wait, or maybe go and pass the time at the arcade. This system is in the early stages of implementation so not all areas have had this treatment yet, but we will improve upon it with each passing update as well as adding expanded actions and animations.

And finally, we have totally redone the roads around town to look better and have better collision with NPCS.

No major performance updates have been made in this update (other than inside the prison). A renewed push for that is coming soon, focusing on NPCs and dismemberment that will reduce the drawcalls by 70%.

“Tuesday Update”

===Added===

- Three new zones!

Border Land

Overview:

The “Border Land World” is located in the southwestern-most part of town. This tile is part of the Commercial District zone where many of the larger businesses are situated. It also includes the portion of the town located in Mexico, hence the name of the tile.
Since this tile is on the border and includes the Mexican portion of the town, of note is the border crossing and its trademark landmark, The Wall. It serves as the sole entrance into Mexico in the game.
Visually, there’s a contrast between the US portion north of the border and Mexican portion south of the border. However, the south-of-the-border area of town nonetheless functions in a largely identical manner, albeit with the Mexican visual twist

Retail

Overview:

The “Retail World” is the southern-middle part of town. This tile is part of the Commercial District zone where many of the retail shops and larger businesses are situated. Some commercial offices are found here as well. Covering the entirety of the border along the southern edge is The Wall.
Of note is that this tile, true to its name, contains the most highly concentrated number of business establishments. All types of vendors (health items, weapons, ammo, cosmetics, etc.) can be found in their individual stores here.

Ghost Town

Overview:

The “Ghost Town” is located in the central westernmost part of town. This tile is part of the Historic District zone where the town’s aforementioned ghost town is located. This is also where the poorest of the town’s poor congregate in the dedicated shanty town/ghetto.
In keeping with the old west theme established by the ghost town, this area is distinguished by its dry, dusty, desert atmosphere, even more so than the rest of the town’s desert areas. Expect to see tumbleweeds and dying, yellowed shrubbery.

- New missions!

Meet Associate

Errand description:

Tuesday's Meet Associate errand is immediately assigned at the beginning of the day and sends the player to meet his new boss-of-the-day following Bellow. The main purpose of this errand is to teach the player how to use the pseudo-fast travel system which is required in this case as he needs to travel from the northern Residential District down to the southern Commercial District. On the street level, these two areas are completely disconnected from one another on this day as the associated surface paths are blocked and bridges are still drawn. Instead, the player will have to take an underground detour using the town's now newly (re)opened subway system which conveniently has available stops between these two districts. Come Wednesday, the rest of the stops will be available, making four total between the four districts around town.

Aside from that, the other major part of this errand is the cutscene where we meet the new boss and his faction: El Plago and his Los Oscuros cartel who operates out of Edensin's South-of-the-Border Land. The gang is meant to be a combination luchadores wrestler/roving mariachi band, and El Plago himself has a Dark Knight Rises Bane-esque appearance.

Border Smuggler

Errand description:

The short of the errand is that the featured Border Slingshot acts a mounted turret you can aim and fire with your "ammo" being the American immigrants you're launching over The Wall border into Mexico. The task here is set up as a target range challenge where you must successfully aim at floating holographic targets. If you miss a shot or fire an immigrant which is spotted by the Border Patrol, you still need to launch more immigrants over The Wall, but at this point hostile Border Patrol officers will also be spawning in waves to fight you.

Tag Turf

Errand description:

The one special gimmick in this errand is the use of the new Spray Paint Can weapon on the designated Billboards. The majority of this errand features combat against a new group, the Sensitive Hipsters

Pet Shop Delivery

Errand description:

On Tuesday, after his meeting with the Mexican Luchadores boss El Plago, the Dude is sent on a delivery mission to bring a nondescript package to a local Pet Shop. Upon his arrival and descent into the building’s undisclosed underground storage facility, he discovers the place is actually a front for a drug lab. Not one to be remiss in his duties, though, the Dude braves the toxic fumes swirling through the air to complete his delivery, only to pass out on his way back to the exit. In his fume-addled hazy mind, he hallucinates himself having turned into a cat, suddenly believing himself to be completing a day’s list of feline-based Mini-Errands. Cat-based catastrophes ensue.
After turning into a cat, Dude (or Dude Cat) needs to complete three mini-errands

Pay Fine

Errand description:

Here, the player is offered two branches to follow: Pay the fine by performing community service as a Meter Maid or manually dropping his ticket into the conveniently located drop box. Taking the Meter Maid route means roaming the town's free roam areas looking for illegally parked cars to ticket to meet your fine quota. Upscale cars can be ticketed more, but the vehicle's owners will respond with hostility. Going with the drop box route happens to trigger the station's lockdown mode, and the player will need to head to the Lockdown Terminals in the Security Offices to manually disable it. The station's Armory can be unlocked as a bonus!

The gameplay mechanics employed here aren't just for this errand. The Meter Maid will become available later in the week as an optional job/Side Quest to earn more cash. The lockdown mechanic in the Police Station remains a constant in this location, acting as the regular challenge to doing things like stealing from the evidence room, stealing from the Armory, gaining access to the Super Evidence Room, and so forth.

- Ingram
- M16
- New sounds for the Intro sequence
- Facial animations for dead pawns

===Changed/Improved===

[list]

[*] Melee enemies should now spread out a little when chasing you
[*] Enemies will also no longer crouch when attacking with a melee weapon
[*] Ranged enemies should no longer run up to your face before attacking
[*] Enemies that lose sight of you no longer stand in place waiting for you to walk up to them
[*] Cops shouldn't get stuck on the border of the Chase/Arrest radius anymore
[*] Changed how enemies react to pointing a gun at them so they don't immediately attack you even if they're panicking

“Frames, flares and feet”

This is THE UPDATE many of you have been waiting for - A SIGNIFICANT PERFORMANCE UPDATE! Our work in this area is far from done, but many of you will enjoy a framerate boost of around 10-20fps in some of the worst affected areas. We will continue to improve performance throughout the rest of the project.

Related to performance - we’ve rewritten the mouse movement code so in the event the game does hitch, you will no longer end up facing the wrong direction, making remaining performance drops far less intrusive.

Beyond that, this update improves kicking behaviour and animation. It’s now far easier to kick around physics objects and ragdolls. Oh, and you can also kick cars when using Vitamin X, too!

Prefer projectile based combat to melee? We have you covered! Introducing a new weapon - The Flare Gun!

Our ongoing work to improve the cinematics continues with the Tag Turf, Bellow and Cat dude Intros all getting a pass.

We’ve fixed up a ton of crashes, and a laundry list of other things you’ll find listed below.

Thank you all so much for your continued support, believing in our vision and providing us with so much useful feedback.

“Tread lightly”

We are full steam ahead on Humpday and making some great progress! It will be a while before it’s fully ready - so we are going to make sure you guys still get regular updates in the meantime to introduce cool new features, quality of life improvements and various bug fixes.

The headline feature here are the footprints. When NPCs, The Dude or an animal walks through any type of fluid, they will leave a trail of footprints behind. You can even light the ones left by gasoline on fire!

Regarding the new randomized codes in the prison introduced in the last update - we heard you, they suck. We have now implemented a post-it note to the map screen that will record each code as it's assigned. No more backtracking to the previous cell because you forgot the code!

This update adds a new quality of life feature when rebinding controls. The game will now warn you if you’re trying to rebind the same key to multiple actions.

And a few other odds and ends listed below!

===Added===

Footprints! NPCs, Dude and even animals will leave a trail of footprints when they walk through any fluid
Sticky note for Prison override codes (It will display on the map screen)
Interact tap-to-hold setting

- Broken shading on certain meshes
- Ingram’s Catnip reload not working properly while under Catnip
- Pigeona Virus announcement playing on Monday
- Floating loudspeakers

Build Number: 0.2.1.0

“Dream of Scooter Fournication”

It’s update time! We’re still hard at work on Wednesday content for a future update, but in the meantime, here are many of the new features we promised you in the last developer update!

The scooter no longer sucks! Not only can it handle rough terrain better, it will also go up and down curbs like a boss. Furthermore, it will no longer flip over for little or no reason, making it a joy to bumble around on. But the awesomeness does not end there! As you can now live out your wildest mobility scooter drive-by fantasies, because It’s now possible to use one handed weapons while operating the scooter. While we were there, we also improved the model and sound effects as well as adding more colour variations. You’re welcome!

We’ve had many requests to bring back the sawn-off shotgun that was included in a POSTAL 2 update back in 2013. Well, we decided to go one better - Introducing The FOURNICATOR quad-barrel shotgun!

Our ongoing mission to improve the in-game cinematics continues, and this update brings a massive improvement to the Prison Guard intro cinematic.

We had a lot of feedback that people are not too keen on how we have the weapons grouped together currently with the quick selection keys, so we’ve added the option for you guys to customize what weapons are under which numerical keyboard key on the keyboard.

We’ve included two new features that are not yet finished but are still in a good enough place to showcase. Fluids now roll down hills and slopes, and you can expect visual improvements here in a future update. We’ve added a new emote wheel, which you can activate with Alt Fire when you are not currently holding a weapon. We plan to expand on this with more dialogue and better NPC reactions in a future update.

And naturally, we’ve fixed up a lot of bugs and crashes.

Please keep on reporting bugs, giving us your feedback [i](We read it all and are acting on much of it)[i] and thank you once again for your amazing support.

NOTE: We’ve switched to Vertical FOV calculations which should finally fix the problems ultra wide users were having. You may have to change your settings. Also, going forward, all saves from a previous build will be flagged red. You can still use them, but there may be problems. It’s recommended that you start a new save file to avoid issues.

===Added===

- The Fournicator (Quad-barrel shotgun)
- Emote Wheel!
- New Scooter! The model and general usability has been greatly improved to make it a lot more fun to drive. We’ve also added the ability to use one-handed weapons whilst on a scooter as well as more color variations!

“Wednes-Bidet Update”

Here it is! Hump day, or ‘Wednes-Bidet’, if you prefer. Lots of new features, areas to explore, Errands, and of course, jank! We’ll be following this update up with some more in the coming days and weeks to include a few things that didn’t quite make the cut. For now, feast your eyes on what’s coming down your Steam pipes right now, and we hope you enjoy your visit to Kunny Island. Don’t be sad you can’t ride the roller coaster - you’ll be able to shortly!

===Added===


- New errands!

- New factions!

- New locations!

- Quicksave (F5) and Quickload (F9)
- "End Day Now" map screen button for Call It a Day (You no longer need to hike it back across town to end the day)
- Enter / Exit camera transition for the Scooter as well as ‘Get in’ / ‘Get out’ animations
- More interest points for NPCs
- Dude cosmetic changes: At fashion stores, such as the errand-specific Phil’s/Lil’s Fashion Funwear, the player can buy clothing items which change their model. Currently, players will only be able to obtain two new outfits, Sexy outfit and Classic Trenchcoat outfit - that’s right, the much requested Trenchcoat get up from POSTAL 2 is now available!
- First-Person Weapons and Arms gettin’ dirty! - Blood and Dirt masks.A very cool visual feature which allows for our weapons and Dude’s arms to get splattered with various liquids and dirt such as blood and poo depending on what the player is doing. For ex. Damaging an NPC will splatter blood on the arms as well as the weapon that’s currently equipped. The blood will eventually fade (You can also clean yourself by aiming up with the Hose or Super Soaker!)

This was also a feature in POSTAL 2, but we’ve made lots of improvements to the P4 version in order to make them look more natural and just generally nicer. Added ‘Flow Quality’ settings to the performance menu
- Interactable rides! You will be able to interact with various rides in the Kunny Island. In the current Wednesday release, only one ride will be interactable with the second coming shrotly after. We plan on expanding this number greatly in future updates
- The Mop! Similar in utility to the Shovel and reminiscent of the tool in Viscera Cleanup Detail, the Mop’s weaker damage output is offset by its quicker attacks and ability to more reliably stun enemies, the Dude using it like a kendo stick. It can also be used to clean up liquid decals such as spilled blood, vomit, etc., this function being used in a Mission

Vitamin X ability: Alt fire spins the mop, deflecting bullets like a shield

“The Cure”

Hello, POSTAL people of all persuasions!

As promised in our last developers update, performance has been improved across the board on most PC configurations, ranging from 5 to 20 fps depending on your set up or area of the game you’re in. We’ll continue to work on performance, and things will keep improving with each passing update from here on out.

In the weapons department, we’ve added a new rapid firing pistol, and changed the Fournicator’s model to look more suitably powerful. We’ve also tweaked some of the core weapon mechanics based on feedback, such as increasing the reload speed on some weapons and decreasing the time it takes to switch between weapons.

Work on improving the cinematics and general presentation continues, and we’ve fixed a ton of bugs (as well as probably introducing a load more!).

While we have left the ability to load old saves and resume your game, it may cause you some issues - so starting a new game is advised.

Finally, what you’re seeing here is only a small amount of the work that’s been done since the last update - Thursday is in fall swing behind the scenes!

Thank you for your continued support!

“Rocket Powered Cats” Update

Hi POSTAL Fans and curious onlookers!

It's time for another intermittent update so you guys have some things to play with, while we work on the Friday update and also improve the Monday-Thursday content.
At this stage in development we’re really starting to turn our attention to improving the game’s core systems. Some of this is evident in this update, and you can expect improvements in gunplay, performance and overall visuals going forward.

New weapon!
In our ongoing effort to bring you more awesome and outrageous weapons - we bring you the fan favorite Rocket launcher… but with a twist! By attaching a kitty to the end, you will be able to control the rocket's trajectory!

New UI goodies!
We all like our hands held sometimes… right? We now have a new hint system to make you feel dumb for not knowing our badly telegraphed intentions of how things should work in the game :)

New side content!
It’s now possible to engage in scooter time trials, and there is also a new random encounter to experience.

More vendors!
The POSTAL franchise is the number one ‘waiting in line’ simulator - and now we’ve made sure there are plenty more lines to join! (or cut, if you want to be a total badass)

Level design improvements
As we edge towards the major polish pass, we’re starting to improve the level design and update placeholder assets, all while optimizing them in the process.
