We've been hard at work over here at Gun Media and IllFonic to bring out our next major content update for fans with tons of free stuff to check out! The three major additions to the game include;



The Virtual Cabin 2.0 is an improved and enlarged version of our 'Virtual Cabin' that was offered to fans on PC during development of the game. This latest Virtual Cabin has expanded upon the idea in just about every measurable way, with tons of major secrets hidden in every section of the house. The Virtual Cabin is something of a 'dev diary' and museum to Friday the 13th on the surface, however those that look deeper into the mystery of the cabin will be rewarded with secrets that are sure to send a shock wave through the entire Friday the 13th fanbase.

The Virtual Cabin 2.0 is free on PC with the latest update. The cabin is a single player addition to the game set in first person as players explore the cabin, as nothing is what it seems on the surface.


Offline bots have been added to the game to allow for players to enjoy single player content. Offline bots work on every map of the game and is meant to be enjoyed by those not looking to play with others while still getting the Friday the 13th: The Game experience. Players will take control of Jason Voorhees as he stalks each camp looking for his counselor victims.


Franchise favorite and beloved character Shelly has been added to the game as a playable character. Shelly joins the game right away, so you won't have to grind to unlock him! Those familiar with the films know that Shelly was directly responsible for bringing the famous Hockey Mask straight to Jason in the third movie! We've partnered with original actor Larry Zerner, who is reprising his role just for the game!

• We're happy to announce that Jason Voorhees Part VII is getting a premium kill pack; 3 new kills specific to J7 at a cost of $2.99 (prices vary with region and platform). Players can opt to get these kills for even more choice in dispatching counselors!
  
  
• Running from December 18-23, players will have increased chances to gain Rare & Epic Perk rolls. December 23-27 will have an increased chance of acquiring both Pamela Voorhees and Tommy Jarvis audio tapes and December 23-January 2 will have Double CP gains for all players!
  
  
• The overall Level Cap has been increased to 150 with new Jason skins, new kills, new clothing options for counselors and additional future content!
  
  

Last night, we rolled out a hotfix in preparation for the updated level cap that will be implemented in the upcoming patch.


Players that reach the level cap are now able to obtain Customization Points every time they gain enough EXP for a "level rollover"

Basically, anyone currently at level 101 will be able to level up indefinitely for Customization Point rewards while staying at their current level.

Every 10,000 EXP you gain at 101 will cause your EXP bar to rollover and grant you 2,000 Customization Points.

This system will also apply to players who reach the updated level cap of 150 in the next patch, but with update values for rewards.

Coming at no additional charge, soon!

Hey all!

We've got a new system for elaborating on our patch notes, so you can see a ton of that info here at http://f13game.com/patch-notes/Oct25th/. It goes over the new content, new counselor (Fox) as well as updates to Tommy Jarvis that have been added!

Here's our attempt to format for Steam:


Level 32 Requirement

6/10 Composure

3/10 Luck

6/10 Repair

4/10 Speed

5/10 Stamina

4/10 Stealth

7/10 Strength


Tommy Jarvis has had a pep talk and now has the courage and determination to protect all the Counselors of Camp Crystal lake. In this update, we tried to clear define what it means to play as Tommy Jarvis. Players chosen as Jarvis should prioritize saving the other Counselors from Jason and helping them escape. To emphasize Tommy’s hero attributes and goals, we have introduced these following changes:

• Tommy Jarvis no longer says a variant of “I need to get out of here” when he spawns
  
• The text that displays when Tommy Jarvis spawns has been changed from “Escape!” to “YOU were chosen to be Tommy Jarvis” - “Save the other counselors!”
  
• Tommy Jarvis is no longer startled by dead bodies
  
• Tommy Jarvis spawns with a Medical Spray and a Pocket Knife

To incentivise these new character goals and discourage Jarvis players from escaping on their own, XP will be granted to Jarvis for sacrificing himself while there are any living Counselors nearby (20 meters). This is a one time bonus per match. The bonus will not be granted multiple times for multiple Counselors in the vicinity. Any deaths caused by Jason will grant XP - this includes death by traps. Deaths due to suicide or team kills are excluded from the bonus XP. We have also added an additional post round reward screen to show XP gained while playing as Tommy Jarvis. This will be shown after the normal Counselor reward screen.

Jarvis Tapes Have Been Added!

Tommy Jarvis Tapes have also been added alongside the TJ 2.0 update. These are collected in the same way as the Pamela tapes and there are 13 Jarvis tapes in total.

Good Luck!


5 New environmental kills have been added to Jason's arsenal! These kills are available on every single available map and can be executed by all the Jason variants. This should spice things up a bit on Camp Crystal Lake! Counselors will need to be extra careful, as Jason is now able to use these following household items as environmental kills:



Stove Top

Boom Box

Kitchen Knife (Throat Slit)

Kitchen Knife (Stab)

Screw Driver


Jason and Disconnecting Counselors

Jason will now properly receive the kill credit even if a counselor disconnects during the kill animation

Counselors are now able to check their map to find the location of Repair Parts that have been dropped

Repair parts that have been dropped will now immediately show up as an icon on all available Counselor maps. These icons will not appear on items that have not yet been picked up or on items currently being held. Jason is unable to see these icons on his map. If a Counselor escapes with a repair part or dies with it in the water, the item will respawn somewhere else on the map with an icon accompanying it.

"It was frustrating in the later stages of a match for Counselors when repair parts were taken from their spawns and lost in a large map. Being able to locate your win condition is an important part of the game and this QoL change should help alleviate some issues"

Jason's Grab adjustments

Slightly reduced the maximum range of Jason’s Grab
Reduced the cone size of Jason’s Grab

"This is a change that we have been looking into for a while. Through internal testing, we have decided that these new values currently feel better than they did previously. We will be keeping a close eye on community feedback regarding this change and are not opposed to making further adjustments in the future."

Emote and Scoreboard key mapping changed on controllers

The Emote Wheel is now accessible by holding down the [Y]/[Triangle] button on controllers

Pressing [UP] on the D-Pad brings up the Scoreboard as it did originally

“This is just a much more convenient button to access the scoreboard. The button to activate the sweater remains the same”

However, there was a bug that was causing Thick Skinned to apply twice which in turn also caused the perk to incorrectly reduce all incoming damage. This issue was fixed in the last patch.

• Trap Damage adjusted
  1. All counselors now take the same amount of damage from traps
  2. “Traps have been adjusted to inflict the same amount of damage across all counselors. Players that activate a trap will now always be wounded unless equipped with an adequate trap damage reduction perk.”

Hey everyone,

We hope you are enjoying the new patch which includes a large number of bug fixes and new content!

We know we likely didn't fix everything that you feel is wrong with the game and we likely have new issues with the new content. I assure you we are doing our best to address the major issues as quick as possible as well as adding in new things for people to enjoy. The last few months have been hectic.

You can always submit bugs to the www.jasonkillsbugs.com website when you find them. We also are regularly in the F13 Discord channel and we monitor the forums for bug reports. If you post them there its likely we have seen the issue and have it logged.

Rather than leave you with the ra-ra speech I want to take a moment to break down some of the long term issues, new things we know about, and then how we are moving forward with getting them fixed for you.
Moving Forward

We have learned a lot over the last few months of being live and we have made the decision to move out a few items that were not listed in the road map to ensure we get better testing on the new content and allow time for developers to fix long standing bugs


The Car/Boat

The vehicles are a mess. Its a physics driven object that players are able to freely drive around the map and in some cases interactions with other objects cause disastrous issues. To fix this we are moving our engine up to a newer version that includes a number of fixes to the physics systems and then from there we are going to hammer away at whatever remains. What we didn't want to do is fix the issues once and then have to fix them again as we implemented the new version of the engine so there has been a delay in getting everything wrapped up.

Integrating a new version of the engine is not insignificant. It requires us to isolate the game, see whats broken, and fix it all. It is then merged into our main development branch for everyone to start working from. Right now we are a few weeks away from being able to start working with the new version, from there we will have someone dedicated to fixing vehicle issues until the car and boat are in a better state.

Performance

Along with the Physics fixes mentioned above. The new version of the engine has a number of performance fixes, optimizations, and upgrades the game to DX12.

Perks

Over the last few patches we have fixed up a number of issues with Perks but I know there are a few still out there. Please let us know if you find anything else, we are looking into them all internal and fixing things as we find them.

Environmental Kills

There are a lot of kills placed all over the maps. We are doing an audit on all maps but it takes time to launch a game and move to each one to initiate a kill and make sure it works. If you know of a location that a kill is broken at let us know.

Jason not Receiving XP if the Counselor Disconnects

This will be fixed in the next patch.

Duplicate Tapes

This will be fixed in the next patch.

Jason and Counselor Interactions

Grabs, characters intersecting with one another and becoming stuck, Jason smashing the car, flying counselors, Jason being able to destroy objects while holding counselors, etc.

We are moving a few minor improvements that are new features out to have someone dedicated to fixing these issues over the next month or so.


The below items are all fixed in the next patch or expected to be fixed

• Spectators Dont See Rain
  
• Jarvis House Stuck Spots
  
• Boat Repair Location Doesnt Work on the Left Side of the Boat
  
• Police Voice Queue After Calling The Police

If you run across any new issues please use the social channels mentioned above to get that info to us so we can get them fixed.

Thanks for your ears and we appreciate you reading through this post

Hey all!

So this next week is gonna be a doozy. We're focusing on bringing a major content update to you all and we're happy to announce that the new Jarvis Map, Jason Part IV and Mitch Floyd counselor will all be coming free! In addition to this new content we'll be adding rain effects to the game for all maps!

We are happy to announce that the biggest part of this update is the inclusion of the FREE new Jason and map coming to Friday the 13th: The Game. Check out one of the most famous locations on Camp Crystal Lake with the Jarvis House. We've even included a few easter eggs to explore!

Along with the new map is of course Jason Voorhees as he was seen in The Final Chapter. You'll be equipped with a Pig Splitter this time and three new weapon kills that are absolutely going to devastate any counselor unfortunate enough to cross him.

You can check our little trailer here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=390mlGhyQc8

Camp Crystal Lake’s roster of counselors is growing! We’re happy to announce the addition of the newest, chill dude that’s looking to spend a couple of hours alone each day at camp to really take in the scenery, get one with nature and enjoy all that grass on the lawn at camp.

Here you can check out a bit of what makes Mitch tick, as he’s coming to camp on Friday the 13th, this October for FREE!

We're happy to add a bit of weather to the game; each map in Friday the 13th: The Game will be getting rain and thunderstorms to add even more tension to the map.

Rain will be random in public matches, while you can select it within private matches.

To celebrate the holiday, we're going to run a full double XP weekend starting on Friday the 13th and ending that Sunday the 15th. We will have set START/STOP times posted in the forums!

Our first Premium Emote Pack is going to go live as well! You'll get access to 10 total emotes for all counselors! Show off your dance moves and other emotes to your fellow counselors or Jason if you're dumb enough to tempt fate!

Will retail at $1.99USD (regions vary).

Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDYJI9OC3Lk


Lastly; we've got game-balance tweaks coming and we've taken a lot of feedback from the community regarding combat and luck. You will see things return to more normal gameplay thus seen from earlier builds.

Additionally; we've worked some on the optimization of the game as well after resolving the memory leak issue. There should be an overall improved experience for just about everyone in the coming patch!
