An all-new crew of unsuspecting counsellors-in-training are invited to a counsellor training session in preparation of their summer at HELL CAMP. It’s not long before they learn that the one hosting the camp training is none other than sinister Skullface, now in HOLY ANGELIC FORM. It’s also shortly thereafter that they discover the horrifying discovery that the training session is located in the fiery pits of HELL.
Not a single unsaved soul stands a chance against Skullface who disregards the entire camp training plot-line to slice and dice his way through all nine circles of hell and make his way to the poorly decorated bedroom of Satan himself. Every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings and this time... the bell tolls for thee.
In celebration of the HORRORS of HALLOWEEN, Hell Camp is a FREE UPDATE to all players of the base game today! Hell Camp will emerge from the depths of hades once you've completed the first 3 movies in Slayaway Camp!

NEW KILLERS!

Hey Killers! Wanted to post a special update today that fixes some bugs and prepares for something special to be coming very soon. Here's a quick rundown of what you can expect:

• BUGFIX: we had this weird issue where sometimes after a bonus kill the game would go to a black screen. This was due to the darkness of the universe coagulating in your computer device causing its internal circuitry to not know what to do next with its life... We input some code to help your computer come to terms with the meaninglessness of the universe and so the black screen no longer happens.
• NEW FEATURE - Randomize Killer! You can now select an option from the options menu that will randomize the killer you're using every time a new level begins. Do this when you have a bunch of killers and want to add some more surprises to your already surprisey life!
• NEW LOCALIZATION! You can now play the game in Simplified Chinese. We're working on getting the store page text converted as well, but for now feel free to switch to Chinese in the language selector!
• NEW FEATURE: "Message Window" - we've added a special notification window that appears on the shelf screen with any important announcements, game updates, new content, or emergency information. It's pretty integrated right into the game, basically the Tombkeeper pops up to tell you a thing. We have setup a one-time announcement for the PS4/XBox version just to inform players who don't normally check the forums, etc. Once you have seen a message you wont be shown it again, so no worries about eternal spamness or anything horribly horrific like that. We'll also try to use it to give you some special holiday killer kodes from time to time etc. :)
• PLUS: More bug fixes, optimizations and SUPER ULTIMATE SECURITY updates to make your time in Slayaway Camp more enjoyable and stable across the board.

• LEVEL CHANGE: Movie 8 - Deleted Scene #2 (changed layout of level)
• PLUS: More bug fixes, optimizations and SUPER ULTIMATE SECURITY updates to make your time in Slayaway Camp more enjoyable and stable across the board.

We had a patch go out yesterday that had some unexpected issues with save games. We think it only affected a very small number of people, especially because of the super fast responses from our amazing community (thanks BatPrince, JohnOswald & Darkronous The Ascended!) and we were able to roll back to a stable version pretty quickly. We've used save game files provided by BatPrince and JohnOswald to test the patch more thoroughly and have ensured things should now be super rock solid. The update is now live and there should be little to no issues with it moving forward. If you see something weird after updating, first try closing down the game and re-opening it & it should resolve itself. If after all that, you still are having issues, or you have lost anything from your save game file, please drop us a line at slayawaycamp@bluewizard.com or comment below and we can do our very best to get you up and running again ASAP. Thanks for everything!

Hope everyone is having a killer summer, and those camp counsellors are not too much trouble to deal with! We've posted a new build of Slayaway Camp but its pretty unexciting in the greater scheme, just fixes some weird lil bugs that have been gathering up over time. Hope it makes your Slayaway Camp experience all the more smooth and enjoyable!

CHANGELOG FOR 1.6.16

• We've now doubled the coins you get from the 'Faces of Killed 3' Mini-Game, so that's kinda cool.
• Fixed the 'tap collision' area on the "Select Killer" option on the shelf screen.
• Fixed issues with walkthroughs not working properly, especially with the "Burn Ward" level, reported by Gamesjunkie (thanks!).
• Was possible to bring up the Mystery Box after tapping on the TV to unpause a level. This is no longer a thing.
• Fixed some SFX volume issues.
• Fixed Steam Achievements, which should also unlock retroactively if you've met the necessary criteria. Especially with "Puppet Master" and "Creep Show" achivements.
• Increased the saturation on the JimSAW killer's mask, then decreased it again so it looks identical to how it did before this update.

• OH RIGHT! THERE'S A NEW KILLER IN THE MYSTERY BOX!!!!

Hey Killers! We wanted to make sure to squash a few smaller but annoying bugs that have been plaguing users.
We're going to be launching on Android tomorrow so hooray! Also a huge update to iOS (and Android Launch of course) where we are finally able to bring those much coveted deleted scenes and all their flavour text. Originally we were concerned that Apple would think the flavour text was just too flavourful and would banish us from the app store forever, but apparently this was misguided. If you've been holding out for the Android version, we want to thank you from the bottom of our blackened shrivelled hearts for your patience, and hopefully the launch tomorrow will bring you everything you ever dreamed of and more. ANYWAYS ON TO THIS UPDATE!

Changelog for v1.6.7

• We fixed a bug that was causing the game to forget everything it knows when you hit the rewind button in the final scene of My Gory Valentine. The game spent a solid few weeks talking to a shrink and has rediscovered itself and should no longer have any issues with rewinding on that scene.
• Party's Over actually fixed now. Like, Actually this time.
• Using the options menu you can now switch the exit portal to something different. Like maybe a cute little Kitty Face!! Or.... a demonic magic summoning circle? Or just leave it as a Pentagram. Whatever.
• Made the "Level Complete" sound effect a little louder. It just wasn't feeling confident so we took it out for lunch and to a few stores downtown so it could pick out some new clothes. It chose a pretty sweet pair of shoes that it paired up with a brand new sun hat that looks just stellar. It's now feeling a lot better about itself and, as such, has been emitting itself at the proper volume.
• In Slayaway Camp 6 NC17 Scene #2, there was a victim who refused to die. This actually caused the puzzle to be unbeatable, which was disappointing to anyone who breathes oxygen and plays Slayaway Camp. We've now fixed it so not only does the victim die when they should, but we also made sure that every waking moment while they are alive, they feel a pain and misery so deep that they longingly ache for death.
• In the final NC17 level of Bloodbath Beach, you can glitch the game to make a sweet innocent little kitty cat kill-able. This bug was found by one of our favourite mass voxel murderers, JohnOswald, and you can only imagine the depths of depravity in this man's mind to be able to unearth and exploit such a richly evil, heinous bug. Oh.. hold on one second... we're just getting word that the cat in that level is actually a huge a$$h*le, terrorizing the other cats in the neighbourhood on a nightly basis, often sending them to the vet for stitches and/or removal of broken claws stick in various parts of their faces. So, actually, JohnOswald is something of a modern day hero. Our hero.
• Oh and there's a secret somewhere.
• Plus, I guess we also did a bunch more general optimizations and luscious deep tissue massage. So relaxing.

Hey Killers! We wanted to get in touch because we've been working hard on getting Slayaway Camp localized for a Chinese audience. We've got some text back but we have to be honest... It all looks like Chinese to us! (get it? Because it is...) If you or someone you know understands Simplified Chinese (like really, not just using Google Translate - we can do that on our end and the results are pretty hilarious), it would mean the world to us if you could give this a quick review and let us know if the localization team is hitting the mark with the localization? You all know Slayaway Camp probably better than we do! Any help you can give us to make sure we're not bringing a subpar product to Chinese speaking audiences would be a massive help! Skullface may even grant you an extra few minutes of life! Without further ado, here's the text, with the english and simplified chinese localizations. What do you think? ----

Hey you savage bunch of puzzle solving psychopaths! Today is a very special day in that we're releasing our first ever PREMIUM KILLER DLC Pack ːslayawayknifeː. This pack features 6 brand new killers we think are the coolest looking killers we've ever made in the history of the existing universe! http://store.steampowered.com/app/637001/Slayaway_Camp__Supernatural_Forces_Killer_Pack/

FLAMING SKULLFACE

SUPERNATURAL OCCURRENCE

WRAITH

SUMERIAN DEMON

YETI

PLUS: KEVIN

MONTHLY MURDERERS SERIES 1!

ALSO, BUG FIXES!

• There was a strange issue where DLC Gorepacks were occupying the same shelf space and time of normal gorepacks. Their molecular structures were intermingled so purely they made an all new super gorepack, but it caused sever inter-dimensional instability and so we had to put a stop to it. They should now appear on the shelf properly.
• There was a slight audio click that occurred when you pause the game to go to the shelf, and then back again. This click has been smoothed out into something more of a ___ now. Do enjoy.
• The shadows looked a little like a potato was generating them. We've improved them slightly so they now look more like McDonalds Fries generated them. We'll get them to the point where it looks like Potato Salad with Egg generated them, soon enough.
• Improved movement input response time.

We just posted a quick fix to Steam which fixes a couple small issues discovered in the past few days:

• SPAMMING input on keyboard/mouse could cause killer to behave erratically. It's *kind* of expected if you're mashing your face into the keyboard, but we made sure the killer acts with a little more discretion despite your facey keyboard smash smash.
• NC17 Shower Scenes were not working in PG mode. It was causing a glitch. This glitch had nothing to do with the sight of Skullface's Mom having a shower. Regardless, this glitch should no longer occur. And you should see all sorts of things your eyes wish they could un-see.
• THATS IT! Seriously we did a whole update for those 2 small bugs. That's how much we care about you guys and girls!

Hey Killers! We hope your spring is full of stuff that has sprung. We have been working hard on the Android release of the game and getting it ready to launch in closed beta very soon, but also have been making sure we have some cool stuff coming for Steam too, starting with a quick update that fixes some small issues that you have kindly reported to us! For your patience and kindness, Skullface will kill you last.

SWEET NEW DLC'S COMING SOON!!

• FLAMING SKULLFACE
• SUMERIAN DEMON
• SUPERNATURAL OCCURRENCE
• WRAITH
• YETI
• PLUS.... kevin

OK OK WHAT ABOUT THE UPDATE TODAY?

• There was an issue where music would stop, frozen in fear of an unspeakable kill animation taking place and would never return. We've talked to the music gently with our gentle voices so it's not so afraid anymore.
• We've Improved the UI on the Deleted Scenes menus. Should be more pleasing to your retinas now. Or maybe you don't even notice, in which case we've wasted our time, haven't we? We haven't.
• The pause button appeared while a level was loading but you couldn't hit it until the level had actually loaded. This was weird. So we told the pause button to get the hell out of here until the level had actually fully loaded and it seems to have listened.
• If you tried to pause while the Tombkeeper's walkthrough was 'rewinding' itself, you could essentially freeze your voxel killer in its tracks, forever doomed to a rewinding space in the infinitum of space and time. We've resolved this issues so your killer can now kill like a killer should kill.
• We fired the kid working at SKULL VIDEO (the video store on the movie shelf screen). He was a stoner / slacker and kept putting the DLC tapes in weird spots. You know what we said to him? We said "You're Fired" and we did this thing with our fingers like we were plucking a raspberry off an imaginary bush in front of our big orange face. We hired a new kid and she's awesome with the video tapes. Puts them where they're supposed to go all the time. Amazing worker. The best. The best worker.
• There was a gorepack in the Santa's Slay DLC that had the wrong name. Well. Blah blah blah. Now it has the right name.
• The Lawn Mower Gorepack (Party's Over) Was not loading. Im sure this angered Peter Jackson greatly, so we fixed it. It is now fixed. You're welcome, Peter Jackson.

Happy Easter Everyone! We wanted to put out a small but special Easter update for you all! The Easter content is exclusive to the Steam version for now so enjoy the first access to some sweet easter treats!

v1.6 CHANGELOG

•  Sweet new Easter Content! Use the Killer Kode "beaster" to unlock the Feaster Bunny on your killer shelf! Feaster Bunny comes with an all-new special killer kill: EASTER BUNNIED
•  Also included is a new purchase-able gorepack: DEATH BY CHOCOLATE & a killer bunny rabbit bonus kill!
•  Not only that, we've hidden a very special easter egg in one of the movie's deleted scenes section - drop a comment if you tracked it down! :)
•  All-new PG (Puzzle Game) Mode scrubs away every ounce of blood, gore, and general horror movie havoc to let squeamish players focus on solving the mind-melting puzzles in relative safety.
•  PG Mode unlocks the “Yo! Skullface! After School Special” bonus mini-game, which is really just the Faces of Killed mini-game, but features Skullface practicing his murderous technique on inanimate archery targets.
•  Updates to Movie Store tutorial to make the Mystery Box more obvious and the tutorial process a little more straightforward.
•  Improved timing and general well-being of animations when viewing Gorepacks from the Movie Store shelf.
•  Visual Soundwaves now emit from the phones to give a better idea of what tiles they affect when they ring.
•  When you turn the lights off, victims and cops get a skinny cloud of darkness around their heads, hopefully helping to illustrate the fact that they are SITTING DUCKS WAITING FOR YOUR MACHETE!!!!!
•  Disable the shop shelf from being accessible before the tutorial, just to avoid confusing new players.
•  Cleaned up Gore sliders a bit to avoid bugs and confusion. Single Gorosity slider should now increase blood, bones and gibs overall or reduce blood bones and gibs down to nothing (but still getting cutscenes). Can turn ALL the way to the left to switch to PG Mode.
•  Moved Gorosity Slider and Killer Kode button to the top area, so they are easier to track down for new users.
•  New “Movie Complete” Sound effect for more aural stimulations.
•  Improved font visibility across full game UI / Cutscenes.
•  A few additional optimizations and minor bug fixes.

ːskullfaceː Hey Killers!! Some of you may have already noticed, but we've posted a very special new update for Slayaway Camp that introduces a tonne of new content to your camp puzzle-slaughter exploits.

GOREPACKS GALORE!

INTRODUCING BATPRINCE!

1.5 CHANGELOG

• Update to shelf tutorial to make Mystery Box more obvious and the tutorial process a little more clear.
• Fixes to some textures that had become distorted
• Improved timing on animations when viewing gorepacks from the shelf
• Fixed issue with excessive beeping in menu scene when using a scroll wheel or track pad
• Additional minor bug fixes. Like the one where that level, the bad thing happens. We made it so it doesnt anymore.

If you've been digging Slayaway Camp but wish you could slash those campers at work / school / on the bus / etc. We're happy to announce that Slayaway Camp is NOW AVAILABLE on the Apple App Store (Android coming soon, we're still working on it!). Grab it here! http://www.slayawaycamp.com/appstore Happy Slaying!

Happy Valentine's Day! In celebration of our iOS launch, and because this is the most violentest holiday of the year, we have launched a brand new tape on the video shelves: MY GORY VALENTINE! This movie was painstakingly shot in a small mining town in eastern Canada, and features a brand new killer: Major Miner. Illuminate those campers with your headlamp as you traverse the mines and rural neighbourhood puzzles of MY GORY VALENTINE.
The movie will unlock at 10am in whatever time zone you're in. Don't even think about cheating the system by changing your clock, either!!! Happy Slaying everyone, and don't forget to check out Slayaway Camp on iOS -- live on the Apple App Store AS YOU READ THIS!! Your Friend,
Skullface.

Hey Killers! We've got a brand new update for Slayaway Camp which brings a tonne of great fixes and updates,

NEW CONTENT & FEATURES

• New Unlockable Gorepack: Freefallin’ - Killer takes Victim on a sweet skydiving bro-trip.
• Checkmarks in the pause menu have been redesigned to be a much much nicer checkmark. Revel in the beauty that is the all-new checkmark!
• Added some super sweet up/down arrows in the movie store, to get you up/down shelves easier. :)
• Added a checkmark underneath a movie if you have completed it. We’re working on additional notifiers if the movie’s deleted scenes and NC17 levels are complete, but that will have to come in a future update.
• If language is French / keyboard layout is AZERTY, we use ZQSD instead of WASD for movement. Arrow keys still work too, so just use those you silly camper killers.
• Laid some hot & sweaty groundwork for the FREE “My Gory Valentine” DLC movie to come out on Tuesday, in celebration of the iOS release!!!
• We've also added brand new "My Gory Valentine" papercrafts to the Deluxe Edition Papercraft folder!

BUGS FIXED

• Increased the amount of time the “Game Over” credit sequence plays so you have time to dig through that drawer in the kitchen for your favorite lighter, spark it up and hold it over your head, waving it gently back and forth in time to the music.
• Steam was not checking for certain achievements when the game started up. We’ve taken Steam out to the garage, tied it up in a chair, sprinkled doritos on the floor, told it that if it doesn’t start checking for certain achievement when it launches Slayaway Camp that it will be forced to walk barefoot on those doritos. Steam now checks for certain achievements when the game starts up.
• Should have prevented future Linux / OSX Save games from resetting. If you notice your game has been reset in a past update, feel free to get in touch, chances are its still on your system, just in a folder named “Slayaway Camp” instead of a folder called “slayaway camp” apparently letter capitalization is a big deal in Linux, and I respect it for that.
• Made some of the ‘Tutorial hint’ things more clear / easier to read, etc.
• Background music was turning off after cutscenes. This broke GNÜ TRUNTIONS collective heart. It no longer does this. Rock on GNÜ TRUNTION, Rock on.
• Blue Wizard / Staff credits didnt show up when you completed the game anymore. This has been resolved so now you can see exactly who made this game, when you finish every puzzle, of course.
• Sometimes game would get stuck after dying to fire on Movie 2 Deleted Scene “Ritual Gone Wrong” this seems like it would have been part of said ritual that had gone wrong, and therefore a perfect sort of meta-joke, but we fixed it because it wasn’t actually intentional, despite the abundance of ironic humour.
• Texture and Audio optimizations which should help with performance on older systems, but still look super fly on newer ones.

LOVE IS IN THE AIR!

NEW STEAM CONTENT!

THANKS EVERYONE!

Hey Killers! We've been very busy and are proud to announce some very big things for Slayaway Camp: localization & a mobile version! We've been focussed on iOS and are prepping for our big launch on the Apple App Store next month, with the Android version to follow soon afterwards. In celebration of the mobile launch we're going to be releasing a whole new movie's worth of Slayaway Camp goodness: New Levels, More Deleted Scenes & NC-17 Levels, A Brand New Special Killer, plus Awesome New Gorepacks & Bonus Kills! The best part is, this brand new movie, called "My Gory Valentine", will be available FOR FREE for all you girls and guys as a thanks for your amazing support! "My Gory Valentine" will become available the same day we're launching on iOS: Valentine's Day! We'll have more news on it in the next couple weeks, including a sneak peak at the new killer & theme. :) Now... let's talk about what's in today's update!

Glorious New Features

• We've translated the game to a few new languages: French, German, Russian, Spanish should now get fully localized variations of all our horrible, horrible puns!
• Subtitles on the intro cutscenes, and the ability to turn them off in the pause menu.
• Your Gorepack collection just got a lot bigger! We've added gorepacks for all the 'Standard' kill animations you see when just starting the game.
• We've also added Gorepacks for every boss kill you unlock. Just beat a movie to unlock that movie's boss Gorepack.
• We've also added Gorepacks for every special Killer Kill. Just unlock a killer with a special kill, and their Gorepack will also appear on the shelf. More killer special kills to come in future updates!
• With all these Gorepacks, it can get a little unruly, so you can now disable Gorepacks which you would not like to appear in-game. Boss Gorepacks can't be disabled, since they are tied directly to the puzzle itself.
• New On-Map non-cutscene quick kills.
• New Bonus Kills added: Piranha Pool, Telephone, Brain Surgery
• New water trap / drowning animations added: Piranhas, Crocodile, & Giant Clam
• If you're bothered by the blood (you might be playing the wrong game...) you can turn the blood/gore settings to off in the pause menu and it will also disable blood and gore in cutscenes.

Bug Fixes

• The skip button is no longer invisible on Santa's Slay NC17 shower cutscene and Space Camp's NC17 shower cutscene.
• "Need a hint" tutorial no longer appears if the game is paused.
• Fixed issue with some NC17 levels displaying incorrect turn count after viewing the walkthrough.
• Fixed a bug where going through a teleporter and into an electric fence could cause a game freeze.
• Movie complete music now correctly plays at the completion of Movie 3.
• NC17 button should now be easier to select.
• Game would sometimes freeze after viewing a special killer kill under certain conditions.
• Skip button no longer overlaps subtitles on Intro scenes.
• Graphical fixes when highlighting icons on shelf scene.

• Hover color in pause menu changed to yellow to improve readability.
• Minor fixes to sliders in pause menu.

Hey Killers!
You may have noticed we have a brand new update to Slayaway Camp today! A lot of the update is preparation for the Santa's Slay Expansion Pack which officially launches in just a couple short days, but there are also a huge stack of fun goodies and updates that you can enjoy today on your puzzle, er... excursions... As always we appreciate all your amazing feedback, reviews, forum comments, screenshots, videos and more!

NEW FEATURES!

• We decorated the video store. We do hope you enjoy the extent of our holiday spirit.
• Viewing a Gorepack now shows a random victim, instead of the same dude every time. He got tired of getting slaughtered over and over so we made it a priority to switch it up and give him a break.
• Skullface's hair finally started growing back! Hey.... He's actually kinda cute!
• Setup a system for more interesting Killer possibilities. You should be seeing some cool new killers soon enough!
• Shelf scene shows the Movie name after selecting a movie.
• If replaying a level that you've already beat, we used to not give the bonus kill screen after finishing the level. We've changed this so if you do replay a level, you get another chance at a bonus kill, only this time the coins rewarded are about half of what they were originally. This is a nice way to continue to get coins even though you've already beat levels.
• More than everything else, we've got everything setup for the Santa's Slay Expansion Pack, so if you have $2 laying around & want to get some holiday slaying done, be sure to pick that up this Wednesday!

BUGS FIXED!

• SWAT Cops were shooting you in the back even after you teleported away. Unfair! Now teleporters let you escape, just as they should :)
• NC17 Boss Levels were not being marked "Green" / complete. This was a huge bummer especially if it was a level that took a long while to solve and you wanted to show off that you completed all the levels (or NC17 levels) in a movie. It now gets marked green / complete. :)
• An NC17 level was still completable after you had died on the level. This was super tricky but was resolved so it can no longer occur.
• A bunch of minor graphical and design bugs were resolved to help keep things looking shiny and new.
• A few minor gameplay / level specific bugs were dealt with in order to make sure you aren't interrupted from weirdness while you solve those puzzles. :)

Hello, Killers!

Want to try it early, for FREE?!

• A brand new VHS tape on your Video Store shelf: Slayaway Camp: Santa's Slay.
• Santa's Slay includes 25 GOREBLASTING new puzzle levels set in the Cube Central Mall and the ACTUAL North Pole!
• Among them are 4 new ULTRA-BRAINDESTRUCTING Deleted Scenes & 8 new EXTREMELY SEXIFIED NC-17 Puzzles!
• Unlocks the Exclusive Killer: Santa Skullface and his Toy Soldier Kill
• Unlocks the Exclusive Killer: Krampus and his Bag of Birch Sticks Beatdown Kill
• Unlocks the Exclusive Killer: Gremling and her Tannenbalm Kill

• Some new in-game holiday music, Slayaway Camp style.

Happy Slaying!

Steam's doing something mega exciting this December: the Steam Awards! At first we shrugged... we don't need an award to tell us how awesome Slayaway Camp is, your 99% Positive reviews already do that for us! But then we saw one of the categories:

VILLAIN MOST IN NEED OF A HUG

We are happy to announce an all new real-world feature of Slayaway Camp! On the third Friday of every month, for the next 6 months, we will be releasing a new Monthly Murderer via our official mailing list (sign up at the Slayaway Camp website). As long as you're on the mailing list, every month you will receive a super secret Killer Kode which you can use inside the Slayaway Camp settings menu to unlock an exclusive permanent killer for your collection!
To commemorate the US Election, this month's murderer is... President Skullface! Republican or Democrat, we can all come together for a bipartisan slaughteration of annoying sex & drug crazed teenage camp counsellors.
To get President Skullface, open up the Settings menu inside Slayaway Camp and slide the Slider of Sliders all the way to the right, then scroll down to the bottom of the settings! Enter the Killer Kode: campgate2016 to unlock President Skullface! (Be sure to enter it exactly as shown)...
Feel free to keep the Killer Kode a secret, or share it with your closest friends. This is the last one we'll post to the Steam forums, so to get any of the future killers, be sure to sign up to the mailing list today! Happy slaying, everyone, and have a great weekend!!

I knew i was shooting myself in the foot calling the last update the 'Deadly Blessings' update. :| We've just pushed a new fix (1.08.2) which resolves an issue with last night's update for players who use a system language other than English. The errors were due to some in-development work we are working on behind the scenes in preparation for wider localisation in the future. One of the changes accidentally made its way into a live build and was wreaking havoc, but has since been patched and everything should be back to normal again. We deeply apologise for the inconvenience this caused, and appreciate your patience and reports as we worked to resolve it for you as quickly as possible. The fix should now be available for you to download - if you're still having issues, be sure to fully exit out of Steam to ensure it does the full update.

Some other quick fixes were also made:

• Replaying some NC17 Levels was causing a bug. A bug which has now been eradicated from existence.
• When hovering over buttons in the Deleted Scenes menu the UI wasn't responding to your hoverability. It now does.
• The Bolumetric Dog stops barking at the end of a level - so you'd have to enable him every time you start a new level. We think this is fair. It takes a long time for him to travel between scenes to appear in the background audio of each level, so we felt we needed to give him a rest.
• Typing in the Killer Code box was restarting your level progress.. we've fixed that for now. BUT YOU SHOULDN'T BE TYPING IN THERE YET, YOU DON'T HAVE A CODE... YET! :) Yet!

Hey Killers! ːslayawayknifeː Just wanted to let you know while EVERYONE ELSE was either flipping out or cheering heartily about the voting results of some sort of Electrical College something or other (sounds pretty deadly, but we’ve got a game to make, people), we were hard at work plugging away on cool new updates for Slayaway Camp. Here’s a list of what you can find in the latest version!

UPDATES MADE

• We’ve made it a little easier to grind for extra Skull Coins with a couple very important changes. 1) You now get 10 coins for every kill in Faces of Killed 3. This means if you only kill one victim, you will still get 10 coins. Previously you had to reach tiers, meaning you would only get 50 coins if you reached 5 kills, then only get 50 coins until you reach 10 kills, at which point you’d get 100… etc. Now 1 kill = 10 coins, 2 kills = 20 coins, etc. ALSO if you reach a certain streak of kills you will begin getting double coins (20) for every kill, so it pays to do well! We’ve also optimized some of the Faces of Killed animations so they should be a bit smoother / not affect your accuracy when animating the kill bar. COINS!!!
• You know how sometimes you get stuck on a puzzle but you don’t want to cheat and use the walkthrough for the puzzle, but you also can’t really figure it out so you leave the game and go make spaghetti or something, then you think of the answer to the puzzle because you can’t stop thinking about it? Well now you can just skip the level (using the FFWD button) instead of making spaghetti, and come back to complete the level later. While this does mean you won’t be making spaghetti, it does mean you can continue solving puzzles that might be a little easier and the resulting brain massage might give you new ideas on how to solve the previous puzzle! We made it so you can’t skip “boss” puzzles (the final puzzle in every movie) since those ones are supposed to be hardcore and if you can’t do it it just means you need to TRY HARDER! Or you can always get the hint ;)
• You know how you buy a Gorepack from the shop shelf and it sits there all shiny on your shelf looking cool, but not much else until you actually play a puzzle and hope that random Gorepack comes up? Well now Gorepacks can be previewed from your Gorepack shelf. So you can watch them with your friends over and over until you DIE FROM LAUGHING.
• If you pause the game when playing with a gamepad, you should see nice little gamepad prompt showing you what gamepad buttons control what on-screen options. Its helpful and they go away if you un-pause.
• Menu text now appears highlighted on menus when tooltips are disabled. Minor bug. Was annoying.. now fixed.
• Sometimes you’d be playing a beach level and you’d get a weird alien guy as your bonus kill. It was weird. Aliens should only appear if you’re in space. Now Weird victims no longer appear during bonus kills. It’s not as weird anymore. Though I guess the concept of a bonus kill is a little weird in itself…
• We fixed a few bugs that appeared on the super hardcore NC17 levels. Only the super hardcore players will care about this.
• A handful of minor bug fixes. Only a handful of minor players will care about this.

OH!

HELP US HELP YOU

Wanted to give you guys a heads up we at Blue Wizard have just announced our second game, Space Tyrant and it has launched in Steam Greenlight like a newborn baby ready for your oohs and aaahs at just how DAMN TYRANTY IT IS!!! VOTE TODAY!: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=787640283
It is a space strategy game in the 4X vein, but with a heavy lean on humour and rapid fire fun, meant to be able to be played in shorter sessions. Where usually space strategy games are super dry and spacey and technical and take forever to do anything, Space Tyrant is all about destruction and domination and giant lasers and explosions and pretending you're a waaaay cooler version of Kylo Ren. You can vote YES for Space Tyrant right now, and that means it will hit Steam sooner than later! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=787640283

Hey Killers! ːslayawayknifeː Well, here we are -- ready for the weekend. So calm, so quiet.

HELP US HELP YOU

Hey! Say, today we have a Slayaway Survey, okay? (Try saying that 5 times fast) https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/slayaway Answers will help us with future expansions and ports of the game. Plus, you could receive one of our totally amazing super limited edition mega collectible alpha beta gamma Skullface enamel pins.

SO HOT!

Hey Killers! Hope you all had a safe and Happy Halloween. We've been working hard this week to clean up some bugs but also to add in some cool new stuff as well. When we saw Jim Sterling play Slayaway Camp before Halloween it blew our minds. We wanted to give him a little thank you gift so voxeled up a little Slayaway Camp Jimsaw Killer based on his original character. Well he loved it and was cool with putting it in the game for you guys, so... WE DID THAT! You can now unlock Jimsaw Killer from the Mystery Box!

NEW STUFF!

• NEW MYSTERY KILLER! Jimsaw Killer...
• NEW BONUS KILL! Flip the Ultra-Gravity Switch 9000.
• NEW BONUS KILL! Roasting faces on the campfire.
• NEW BONUS KILL! Bird of death and destruction.

BUGS SMASHED

• You know how the controller had some bugs? Well lots of those bugs are gone now. This time, even more of them are gone than we realized. There are still some small things we want to improve but for now REVEL IN THE GLORY THAT IS YOUR GAMEPAD USAGE!
• We had a terrible bug where you could grind away coins in the Faces of Killed 3 bootleg snuff tape of constant death, only to rage quit due to not being able to make it past 26 kills YET AGAIN. Then you'd start the game and find that all those glorious skull coins were not actually saved and so you would weep 1000 tears. Well, coins now save properly after playing Faces of Killed 3.
• Hey you macabre spendthrift shoppers buying all the Gorepacks, Gorepack achievements now unlock retroactively, so if theres one you didn't get it should unlock the next time you start the game up for some slayage!
• Movie achievements are no longer "progress bar achievements" but are now straight up golden shiny normal type achievements. Bask in the glory that is their awesomeness.
• If, for some crazy reason you were watching a kill cutscene while getting shot in the face a bunch of times by a SWAT Cop, your killer might have got stuck, unable to move another step due to the insanity that had just occurred... that was unintentional on our part, so we fixed it and it shouldn't happen anymore.
• You know those dirty dirty censored shower scenes you get as a reward for unlocking the NC17 version of all the movies? Well they were SOOOO censored for a few select people that they would wouldn't let you UNWATCH them. This was entirely due to the Canadian Film Censorship Corporation Bureau. We have put in an appeal for this to be rectified and they have allowed us to submit this new fix which no longer glitches when you are viewing said cutscenes. Do enjoy them.
• Also we did some bug and graphical fixes for some NC17 levels.
• Plus some minor graphic fixes.
• Plus some more minimal bug fixes.
• Plus a few wee lil itty bitty baby sized text fixes.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!
We wanted to thank every single one of you for an amazing launch week as we scream our way into the Halloween weekend. We've got some great new updates for Slayaway Camp which should help you get into the Halloween spirit (as if slashing up blocky cartoon teenagers wasn't already enough!)

NEW STUFF

• NEW BONUS KILL: Machete to the Heart
• NEW BONUS KILL: Nail Bat
• NEW UNLOCKABLE GOREPACK: Pumpkin to the Face
• NEW MYSTERY KILLER: Really Spooky Ghost - The most horrifying spectre of the purest terrifying death.
• NEW MYSTERY KILLER: Rupert S. Pumpkins - His name is Rupert S. Pumpkins. Any questions?

BUG FIXES

• Minor tweaks and fixes to gamepad controls, still trying to smooth things out, we have a little bit left to go, but this should help keep things feeling snappier.
• Some minor text / hint / level name changes to make sure our usage of the english language is something we can be proud of and would get an A+ for if we were to turn it in to an English teacher.
• Other very minor graphical and interface type fixes and adjustments. This stuff is probably bordering on obsessive compulsive disorder, but I refuse to truly admit that. It 100% has to do with making the game the best experience it can possibly by and if adjusting text by one pixel or making it turn a different color when something happens is what it takes to get it there BY LUCIFERS BEARD WE ARE GOING TO STAY UP ALL NIGHT DOING THAT FOR YOU!

Hey Killers, Made some quick fixes for a few things that were causing us to lose some sleep. We wanted to get some of this technical stuff out of the way so we could focus on finishing up a proper FUN update for Halloween (Coming soon!) with a few new kill animations and an awesome new Halloween killer.

NEW(ish) CONTENT

• Ok ok ok it's not really new but by popular demand we have added FLAC formatted audio files to the Official Game Soundtrack in the DLC Pack. You should just have to exit out of Steam and restart it for the DLC to download the extra FLAC files in the soundtrack folder, now.

BUGS FiXED

• Resolved an issue that was causing the above NC17 (Super Challenge Mode) level to be totally unbeatable. Some poor mime was standing in the fire for an eternity, dead eyes staring out at the cold, empty world around him as his silent cells slowly crispified. It was fun to watch him not react to being engulfed in flames forever, but it also meant you couldn't beat the level, which was sad for Jessi and she asked me to upload the patch as soon as humanly possible so no one gets stuck for too long.
• Moar gamepad fixes have been implemented. Things should be getting smoother - still a few things we need to work out but hopefully this is a nice improvement.
• If you paused the game while a victim is escaping the level, it created a tear in the space time continuum, which led to the victim's DNA being scrambled with a piece of toast's DNA (wait does toast have DNA? Maybe a piece of living toast like a toast-man or something does...). Oh also the level would crash. Anyways this doesn't happen anymore, so don't even worry about whether or not toast has DNA, it has been made irrelevant at least in this specific context.
• More general tweaks and fixes to improve your play experience. They are so minor and rare that you probably didn't even realize they were there. That didn't stop us from standing behind the programmers' chairs and smacking them in the head with a bag full of orange juice soaked paper towels until these bugs were fixed, though. Believe you me.

• A New Killer Approaches! Save up your SkullCoins and unlock a new psycho killer from the Mystery Box. We're not even going to say who it is... It's THAT SECRET!!!
• Deadly Basketball Bonus Kill: Smash off a victim's head with a horrifyingly deadly pass of an average regulation-sized basketball.
• Gardening Shears Bonus Kill: Trim those extra leaves and branches off your victims with these freshly sharpened Gardening Shears.

SOME BUGS WERE FIXED

• Trap-related Achievements were being sneaky and not unlocking when they should have been. We have since told them off and threatened them with violence. They should now be unlocking correctly.
• Gorepack-related achievements were also being shy and may have not unlocked correctly if you were playing during the Beta test. Well, worry no more... they should now unlock retroactively on game load.
• The gruesomest bootleg VHS tape ever made: Faces of Killed 3 no longer unlocks again after re-entering shelf scene. Yes.
• The zoomed out / overhead view was a little tight on some levels and the buttons on the bottom would overlap the level map a bit. Well... worry no more, because that has been fixed.
• We have made many improvements to the controller support to hopefully allow for wide gamepad support and eliminate bugs and crashing with specific hardware / setups. If you are still having issues, feel free to let us know... also let us know which hardware manufacturer made your gamepad so we can send Skullface to their factory to oversee the quality assurance.
• Rewinding moves that included a trap-cutscene would replay said cutscene until you finally figured out the puzzle surrounding said trap. This has been changed so that trap-related cutscenes will only replay once after restarting a level, not on every rewind.
• A few puzzles had minor bugs fixed throughout them to ensure MAXIMUM KILLFICIENCY.
• A few minor graphical glitches were resolved for MAXIMUM LOOKFICIENCY

TODAY IS THE DAY!

Check out our brand new release trailer! I think this was found in a box of dusty old VHS tapes in Skullface's Mom's Basement :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cn07syMT8pI
