Hello Wanderers!

We are 9 days after the release, and it has been a busy time for us. But as Britney sang in her song, we were born to make you happy, so we wanted to implement some of your requests! :D

First, a huge thank you to all those who checked out our game, and a big hug to everyone who left us a positive review - this really helps a lot! It's tough for a small dev like us to get exposure on Steam, and positive ratings truly make a difference. We sincerely appreciate your support!
We would also like to involve you in the process of making Songs of Rats even better. As you probably already know, we read all comments and reviews, gathering your feedback and requests. Step by step, we aim to implement the requested changes and improvements, and the first batch is ready! Check out the log below for details. Last but not least, wed love for you to write in the comments about the kind of new content you'd like to see in Songs of Rats. Additional events? A new campaign? Both? Any other ideas? We're open to suggestions and will happily implement whatever we can. So dont hesitate to share your requests with us! :)

Below, youll find whats new/updated in version 1.1.5, which is now live!

• [Community request] Removed Master Volume in Settings. Instead, there are now two sliders: one for music volume and one for sound effects.
• [Community request] You can now choose whether to heal yourself using food or first aid kits (if available). Just click on the food or first aid kit icon below the healing button to select which resource you prefer to use.
• The Artbook (The Art of the Wreckage) has been expanded with almost 20 extra pages, offering more insight into the game's creation, including a step-by-step breakdown of the graphics development process.
• Fixed typos and text errors.
• Fixed event display issues.
• Fixed additional English translation errors in the EBOOK.
• Various small bug fixes.

And what about the future?

We havent prepared a roadmap per se, but as stated above, we want to bring more content to the game. We're a small team, so every change takes a bit of time, especially since each new version needs proper testing. Thats why we dont want to set fixed dates in stone. However, in the upcoming weeks and months, you can expect additional content. We want it to align with your expectations, so once again: please share your ideas and requests in the comments! This will help us determine the right development path for the game. :) We also encourage you to check out the EBOOK, which contains a short novel (Uriel's Song) offering deeper insight into the lore of Songs of Rats and The Wreckage. If you'd like to explore more of the world, we think it could be a good read! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3545330/Songs_of_Rats__Tales_from_the_Shadows_EBOOK/
