Atari one of the world's most iconic consumer brands and interactive entertainment producers announced it has established a new publishing label under the Infogrames brand. In launching the new label, Atari is reviving a legacy brand known for game development and global distribution from the early 1980s to the early 2000s. For decades, Infogrames built a reputation as a publisher and developer of amazing and eclectic games, and we are excited to bring it back, said Wade Rosen, Chairman and CEO of Atari.
Infogrames' purpose is to acquire IP and publish games, across multiple genres, that fall outside the core portfolio of IP associated with the Atari brand. Over time, the portfolio may also include some of the legacy titles first published by Infogrames. Interested developers and IP holders can reach out at contact@infogrames.com. Infogrames intends to actively manage its catalog of titles by expanding digital and physical distribution, and developing new collections and sequels. Consistent with Ataris approach, Infogrames sees game preservation as a core component of its mission.

Purchase of Totally Reliable Delivery Service from tinyBuild LLC

Infogrames also announced its first IP acquisition with the purchase of the Totally Reliable Delivery Service games, trademarks and underlying property from tinyBuild LLC. First released in 2019, Totally Reliable Delivery Service is an all-ages multiplayer sendup of the package delivery world, set in an open sandbox full of absurd gadgets, unlikely delivery vehicles and a healthy dose of chaos. With Totally Reliable Delivery Service, Infogrames is starting off with a strong IP that has a loyal and enthusiastic player base, commented Geoffroy Chteauvieux, Manager of Infogrames LLC. The Infogrames team will be able to expand upon the strong work of tinyBuild, and re-energize this high-potential franchise. To stay up to date on Infogrames, please visit www.infogrames.com

Greetings, drivers!

Totally Reliable Delivery Service just dropped off another major update!

[/quote]

In the meantime, the game has been Totally Delivered to Macs! If you are one of the macOS users that have been interested in sending packages while causing some collateral damages, grab the game now with 30% off!

This new package to be picked up might be a bit heavy as the update contains an exhaustive list of changes including but not limited to in-game settings, a new event and more!! To show you around the new stuff, our devs will hop on a quick ride and start a live stream session at 12 pm PDT, July 28! Watch it live here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1011670/Totally_Reliable_Delivery_Service/ [hr][/hr] Without further ado, lets dive into the hottest updates:

Totally Reliable TUTORIAL:

Your first day as a delivery driver can get smoother now with the new Tutorial Session. Before you hop on a larger truck and find your journey a little too bumpy, run through the training tasks located in the Warehouse first and hone your skills. Never underestimate the power of a good onboarding experience.

Rocket Car Rally Event:

Fly the Rocket Car from GASA in the fastest way possible and be the first in your group to reach the Hustle Beach! Following the cart racing event, a new Rocket Car Rally Event is now live in the game. Boost to the beach safe and fast, captain.

Summertime Fireworks:

Get a BANG out of your Totally Reliable ride and celebrate the summer with some splendid fireworks. Interactable objects that can turn into fireworks have been implemented around the map exclusively for this summertime!

Added Hooks for more secure deliveries in the air:

How about having both hands available to focus on a nice sky stunt when flying the biplane or the helicopter? The newly added hooks on the vehicles can save your trouble of having to multitask between being a good captain and worrying about losing the packages. Simply hang your stuff on the attached hooks in flight and leave the concerns behind! [hr][/hr] Besides the mentioned updates above, there are a number of other major changes that can improve your delivery experience

• Updated Main Menu Flow - Now you can choose from Play Local / Play Online / Tutorial
• Joystick HUD Visualizer - On-screen interface to help visually teach our Totally Reliable joystick interactions (always on in Tutorial and toggle in Settings for switching on in main game)
• Character Strength Improvement - Strength now builds over time, resulting in the character being twice as strong as before
• Ping Deliveries - Find the location of deliveries/events in game through pinging it in the Leaderboards pause menu tab
• And more!

Check the full list that includes more content/game mechanism updates and bug fixes here! Before wrapping it up, we want to thank you drivers again for playing the game and staying with us while we strive to deliver better content and fix bugs. We hope this big update can add some more good memories to your Totally Reliable journey! As usual, join us at our online communities to mingle with fellow drivers and let us know your thoughts!

Hey Everyone, We finally managed to single out where the issue with the missing deliveries was coming from! This was a very deeply involved issue which took us several days to find and fix. We hope this will resolve the issue for all of you who have been reporting missing delivery boxes. If by any chance this does not solve your issue it would be awesome if you could get in touch wit us via Discord so that we can investigate further and fix it for you asap. But that's not all - here are the additional changes we just released with this last update:

• Added an error log error if there are bad challenges when spawning objects for a delivery
• Increased the serialization rate by ~45% for our network in order to reduce input lag
• If the host of a game has medium quality (orange/yellow) the FPS counter will now make assess the server as medium rather than rounding it up
• Added a control to verify that host/client load playerOptions from index 0 instead of from the index of the order they joined as client. This should fix the situations when a setting appears as checked on while it actually isn't.
• Prevent photo mode from overriding camera culling settings after exiting photo mode
• Photo mode no longer messes with hide hud player options and properly resets when exiting photo mode
• Fixed a local multiplayer UI issue which made the photo mode unusable
• Stunt sets NPC and delivery acceptor positions have been fixed
• Building topper have been removed from Cyberfunk City and moved to Stunt Sets Islands
• The GASA rockwall has been plugged

This is just one of the many patches that are coming in order to act on all the feedback we are receiving from the community.

Hey delivery drivers, Since the release of the game last week we have received a lot of feedback from the community and we've been hard at work to quickly fix all reported issues.
We thought, as it has been one week since release, this might be a good time to take a step back and have a look at what we have done so far. This is also a great opportunity, for all of you who brought us feedback, to see how valuable your help has been.

Major fixes:

2nd of April 2021 - 2.00.03

• Players will now be able to change graphic settings while in-game. This will be a temporary fix for the lagging issue which partially stemmed from the host struggling to render the game for everyone.
• Free camera mode issues that would send the camera into a spin have been fixed.
• A bug with the terrain on GASA island has been fixed.

3rd of April 2021 - 2.00.04

• Input lag decreased by reducing the degree of online visual smoothing (this change will be visible to players on an online server, not hosts, and might affect some players more than others)
• Added a depth of field setting to turn it on/off so as to reduce the depth of field.
• Character limits set on server names
• Prevent ability to created multiple clones of players in the local join screen
• Prevent photo mode when in cutscene
• Fix scaling issues with map screen and pause screen
• Fix the three blimp deliveries not having package acceptor on the blimp
• Fix issue with hovercraft derby and garage spawners spawning vehicles locally and not through photon
• Put garages on the ground
• Fix graphical bug in the character shop with the shoes tab

3rd of April 2021 - 2.00.05

• Added a server health indicator. This indicator will display 1 to 4 health bars depending on the quality of the server that are available. The quality of the server is defined by the ping of the host server combined with yours as well as the FPS of the server host. We then use those two metrics to try and identify what will the quality of your experience be on that server, 1 being low and 4 good.
• We took additional steps towards reducing input lag by lowering the online visual smoothing parameter
• We added a default "Best Region" option from the server region dropdown list. Selecting this option will automatically direct you towards servers located in the region the closest to you/with the lowest ping. Please note that if you are hosting a game you can find the "Best Region" in which you are hosting by going the "Host" options from the in-game.
• We removed some rapid key shortcuts that were switching control scheme layouts/unlocking zones without player knowledge.
• Fixed several issues reported in regards to controls dropping/Simple controls & other option toggling

4th of April 2021 - 2.00.053

• Fixed an issue in which the server list would go back to the top at refresh, making it difficult to reach server at the bottom of the list.
• The server health bar as been moved to the left of the server name in order to differentiate it more clearly from the amount of players

5th of April 2021 - 2.00.06

• Using the "Quick Join" in order to join an online game in your region will now select only servers that have a good health status.
• The vehicle entry assistance feature will now be deactivated automatically if you are currently grabbing an object such as a box or another player.
• Fixed an issue which would display an infinite loading screen when joining a server.
• Updated the UI animations on the Hosting menu which was not working as intended for some players.
• Fixed an issue in which repeated quick succession in.game respawns would cause strong server lag.
• Updated the spawn area of the Booster Club Arena cars wich were bein spawned 5ft off the ground.

There are still some issues that we are currently working on and we are really gratefull for the patience you have shown so far in giving us the space to make all those corrections one by one. So what is the plan ahead you might ask? Although some things might still change depending on the feedback we receive (again feel free to add your grain of salt in the comment section) but below are so far some of the major points we are trying to tackle.

Upcoming Changes:

Input Lag

Although we have made several patches to reduce the general feeling of "lag" (see above) we still see some delay in controls when you play online on someone else's server. This is due to the fact that the game is using a framework in which the person hosting the game needs to receive info from players, process it and send it back to players before they move (in short). The reason we have implemented it this way and not like other multiplayer (&ragdoll) games out there is because our game is much more fast-paced and interactive. In short in this game the data needs to go back and forth before we show on your screen what is happening. For instance we need players to be able to each hold the same box (or eachother) while driving a helicopter at high speed right into the mouth of a Volcano (true story). For this to work the host needs to be able to calculate at each second what each player is doing so that they are all correctly syncronized. Furthermore the fact that the host should have a fairly low ping for the game to run smoothly, as well as a reasonably good computer to process the information for the 1-3 other players on the server, adds a layer of complexity to our system. That being said we have a few leads to improve the situation without making this game into another one and you should start to see it coming during the next few weeks.

No place to deliver

We have received reports from some players who are not able to find the delivery location for their parcels. We are currently focusing hard on fixing this and believe we should have an update ready in a few days. That being said as far as we know this update might cause the loss of progression for those players who are having this issue. A necessary evil to solve the problem but we are still very sorry that it might come down to this and are currently working on finding a way to avoid it. In the meantime if you are one of the players experiencing this issue the quick-fix we have for this is to delete your save file which is located in your game folder, under the name "progress.dad". We know this is not ideal and fairly frustrating for those experiencing this issue so rest assured a fix will come very soon. We also want to send a quick shout out to anyone who might be having this issue: it would be awesome if you could come chat with us on Discord, by reporting your issue in the Bug section, so that we can work with you to resolve it. Link to the Discord at the bottom of this post.

Tutorial

The tutorial currently implemented in the game allows you to quickly grasp the controls of the game before starting your journey as a delivery driver. We would like to improve this a little by also granting you the opportunity to learn about the different devices and mechanics available in the game with a more focused guidance. We will be working on this in the coming weeks!

Control scheme

We currently have 2 control schemes implemented in the game. By default you will have the new "Simplified controls" which allow you to use one button/key to grab with both hands and one to raise both hands. But if you want you can go in the settings and revert to the old control scheme which had you manage each arm independently (both for grabbing and raising, so 4 buttons instead of 2 with simplified controls). We have received feedback that the new simplified controls were still not exactly what some of you would have wanted and so we are looking into how could we improve this further.

Bugs

We still have some bugs that are being worked on and we will continue to get those sorted out one by one in the comings days/weeks,

In Conclusion:

Thank you again for all you support, we are hard at work on making the game better and will continue to bring you updates and new content as long as there is a community who wants them. Feel free to discuss in the chat below if you have any comments on what was presented above or if you would like us to bring to the game in the next few month. Also if you have any issues or just want to come chat with us and our community please feel free to join us on Discord: https://discord.com/invite/totallyreliable

Hey delivery drivers, Here is a new patch which contains some of the most thought after fixe and change requests we have received since release last week. This update contains the following changes:

• Using the "Quick Join" in order to join an online game in your region will now select only servers that have a good health status.
• The vehicle entry assistance feature will now be deactivated automatically if you are currently grabbing an object such as a box or another player.
• Fixed an issue which would display an infinite loading screen when joining a server.
• Updated the UI animations on the Hosting menu which was not working as intended for some players.
• Fixed an issue in which repeated quick succession in.game respawns would cause strong server lag.
• Updated the spawn area of the Booster Club Arena cars wich were bein spawned 5ft off the ground.

Hey everyone, We're pushing a second patch today, with some additional improvements to some of the core areas related to issues that the community has been reporting to us. Here is an overview of those changes:

• Added a server health indicator. This indicator will display 1 to 4 health bars depending on the quality of the server that are available. The quality of the server is defined by the ping of the host server combined with yours as well as the FPS of the server host. We then use those two metrics to try and identify what will the quality of your experience be on that server, 1 being low and 4 good.
• We took additional steps towards reducing input lag by lowering the online visual smoothing parameter
• We added a default "Best Region" option from the server region dropdown list. Selecting this option will automatically direct you towards servers located in the region the closest to you/with the lowest ping. Please note that if you are hosting a game you can find the "Best Region" in which you are hosting by going the "Host" options from the in-game.
• We removed some rapid key shortcuts that were switching control scheme layouts/unlocking zones without player knowledge.
• Fixed several issues reported in regards to controls dropping/Simple controls & other option toggling

Jus as a reminder of what was said previously, If the fixes above are still not doing it for you, please try with the following two temporary solutions in relation to the lag problems: For host: Lower graphics settings, or make sure a player with a beefier GPU does the hosting Try Remote Play Together on Steam as that has been reflected as more stable by some players If you want to stay updated on our upcoming fixes then feel free to subscribe to our update thread here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1011670/discussions/0/3069740688723324719/

Hey Folks, As mentioned in our hotfix community post from yesterday we are hard at work trying to solve the issues that were reported by this community as well as trying to find solutions on how to improve the feeling of lagginess you are experiencing in the game. Below is the detailed content of this patch addressing those issues. These fixes might not make it perfect for everyone yet so rest assured that we are still working on it and have several areas of focus which should improve things even better in the next few days.

• Input lag decreased by reducing the degree of online visual smoothing (this change will be visible to players on an online server, not hosts, and might affect some players more than others)
• Added a depth of field setting to turn it on/off so as to reduce the depth of field.
• Character limits set on server names
• Prevent ability to created multiple clones of players in the local join screen
• Prevent photo mode when in cutscene
• Fix scaling issues with map screen and pause screen
• Fix the three blimp deliveries not having package acceptor on the blimp
• Fix issue with hovercraft derby and garage spawners spawning vehicles locally and not through photon
• Put garages on the ground
• Fix graphical bug in the character shop with the shoes tab

If the fixes above are still not doing it for you, please try with the following two temporary solutions in relation to the lag problems: For host: Lower graphics settings, or make sure a player with a beefier GPU does the hosting Try Remote Play Together on Steam as that has been reflected as more stable by some players If you want to stay updated on our upcoming fixes then feel free to subscribe to our update thread here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1011670/discussions/0/3069740688723324719/
