Hi everyone! Here we are, at the final lap, so without further ado, let's jump into things coming in this patch.

New boss and a facelift of the old ones

A new boss has been added for the first comic: Corrupted Hive. Its power is reliant on insects that reside inside, but it can also "pack a punch" by itself, or so they say. Some of the other bosses had visual tweaks both to their attacks and their looks. Most importantly, Master of Souls and Priest of Souls both had reworks, so now, their respective fights with Fury look and proceed differently than before. Prepare to be challenged anew! There are more bosses and enemies on the way, but you'll have to fight them on the game's full launch!

Soundtrack released

Our jamming tunes, composed by The Witcher's composers Adam 'Scorpik' Skorupa and Krzysztof Wierzynkiewicz, are finally available in their full glory! Following the recent changes to how OST sales can work on Steam, it's not a DLC, so even people who don't own the game can buy it. Our soundtrack consists of 24 songs in MP3 and FLAC formats, and you can acquire it here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1232750/Fury_Unleashed_Soundtrack/

A new skin - Furry

We've heard people misread our game's title as "Furry Unleashed" so many times that it was simply natural for us to embrace the idea. We are open to new ideas, and with that in mind, there was no reason not to include an option tailored for our vulpine friends out there! So, here we are. You've told us that fury isn't the only thing that could be unleashed, and we've listened. Furry skin is unlocked as a reward for [spoiler]achieving a combo of 30[/spoiler]. Just... try not to force us to change the game's title again, please? It would make an awesome April Fool's Day joke, though.

Bloodless mode

There's also something for people who either dislike seeing blood and dismemberments or are would like to play the game while young children are around. We've added Bloodless mode, where there is no presence of red liquids, and enemies "poof!" out of existence, instead of dying graphically. You can activate it at any time in the game's options menu. Do try it at home!

Optimization & fixes

We've spent a countless amount of hours since the last patch, streamlining the data, and optimizing the game. We understand that it isn't something that we can display like fireworks accompanied by orchestral fanfares but believe us. We did a lot of things for the game so that it will run better on low-end machines, and also there should be more than enough memory left for those pesky browser tabs ;) There were also errors waiting to be fixed, so we did just that. Thanks for all the reports! Here's a list of some of the bugfixes:

• Lots of co-op fixes and quality of life (e.g. separate map control), but there's still more to come!
• Weapons no longer tend to stack on each other visually. RIP amalgamations of a rocket launcher and a crossbow.
• Sometimes, sketch event and secret challenge enemies would spawn in different spots than anticipated. Nevermore.
• Ninja quest for melee assassinations now targets enemies that are designed to be cut, sliced, and diced.
• Fast traveling using a mouse click won't accidentally start firing Fury's weapon like it used to.
• Accidental left-stick presses will no longer keep the map open, and also there's a menu option to disable it altogether
• Ultrawide screen resolution are now fully supported

Thanks to everyone in the community, and special thanks to: ChrissyHia, cjrunfiles, gerrard725, HiddenStake, PlaSmiCNoMaD, SexyPanther and Yeldo for the feedback that helped us improve the game.

Finally, we have one important announcement for those who haven't decided to buy the game yet, but are following its development: Fury Unleashed's price will be increased on March 2nd. It'll cost 19.99$/19.99 or the corresponding price in case of other currencies - so if you want to get it ahead of the upcoming full release, now is the best time.
