No more Update Announcements? 👀

[Dr.God]

Why did they stop announcing updates and patches on Steam?

Ever since the console release, they've only been promoting their lame cash-grab merch. Have they abandoned PC gamers?
They didn't even announce the Winter event on Steam... 😕

I have no sound output on the new patch. Love this game so much!

[Dr.God]

Also, where the hell are the new farm maps that were supposed to release earlier this year?

Super lazy devs piss me off.

My friends and I only found out about the Winter event by accident, it's kind of bonkers. I hopped in just to check and found the thing 100% done.

There are patch notes...

Patch notes always arrive to Steam a bit later than on other platforms like website/Twitter. This isn't new.

he probably knows - this guy is a known farmer of jester awards.

But yeah they've been making the recent announcements the last month or so on their web blog - I think they realized they could still do both now... which is fine.

And as for the farmhouse maps... we were only told that they were being made, but at the time of their last announcement they were still in Concept phase - there was no way they'd be fully ready by the end of the year when Point Hope had priority up until June

But why isn't it on Steam anymore?

Why should we have to search for patch notes when they could be announced on Steam?

Yeah they should make anouncments on steam again only reason I knew about event and update was from youtubers I like to watch.

They announced a while back that all future patch update notes would be on their blog and discord but not on steam. Delays don't enter into it.

Edit: Though it seems they may have rolled that policy back, since the hotfix patch notes do appear on steam. Just not the christmas event patch notes. They probably got a lot of negative feedback over it.

What a stupid move... what made them think it would be a good idea to stop making announcements on Steam? The incompetence of these lazy devs is mind-boggling.

Probably did it with the intention of just having to have update notes in one location for all the different platforms, rather than posting update notes across multiple platforms. Not the greatest move, but probably to be expected from a dev team that has only ever made one game to date.

I know the type, I don't give awards, but points are a hilarious thing to farm... like I have a hundred thousand I never used, and never even look at awards. People should farm things that convert to real world money if they have that much time lol.

Anyway, even if they were farming, at least this thread will have a source for patch notes for other people wondering like I was before digging.

I agree, but also it's probably just a hassle to make posts on twenty different platforms for everyone to see and it takes time. Steam could also be a pain to post for all I know. They do use the feature though, and could show up soon.

So they just did a 100mb update, is the OBAKE on Krampus fixed now ?
