[h1]Post Launch Devlog #1[/h1] [h2]THANK YOU![/h2] Hey soldiers! I just wanted to make an announcement [b]thanking everyone[/b] for playing CONSCRIPT on launch week.

When the review embargo lifted there were 2 or 3 more negative critic reviews that really had me worried and stressed - but seeing the user score so high has removed any and all stress I had about how the game was going to be recieved. It has been hard to respond to all the messages but I really do appreciate all the kind things said to me both privately and publicly. If I take a while to respond, please forgive me - I do try to make myself available to everyone but launch week has been very overwhelming. [h2]Post Launch Patch #1[/h2] So, I’ve been monitoring the forums and watching heaps of Twitch streams and reviews to gather a list of bugs to fix and feedback to implement. It should come at no surprise that by far the most urgent thing to address has been… THE RATS.

Overall they will be less punishing and less frustrating. Don’t get me wrong, they’ll still be [i]somewhat[/i] annoying because they were designed to be - but you can say goodbye to getting totally one-shotted in half a second and the poisoning chance will be reduced. Along with that, I’m going to add some more rat burrows to rooms in the game so you have more options when it comes to dealing with them. There have been a fair few smaller bugs I’ve fixed and some crashes I’ve also fixed. I’m sorry to anyone who had some sort of bug or crash that ruined their experience! I’m aiming to have the patch out next week hopefully. I can’t give a precise day or time as it has to go through QA first. Full patch notes will be available then. [h2]Steam Reviews[/h2] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//37541422/bbc0bee3c3e0dd6c0e246d1697ca0d9c528c3fe9.png[/img] I'm super happy to say that as of writing this we are sitting at 94% positive rating on Steam and an 80% on Metacritic! I'm so happy with these numbers. If you enjoy your time with the game [b]please leave a Steam review[/b]! If CONSCRIPT performs well, it opens the door for extra content in the future. (I’m already being asked about DLC, sequels, etc which I do really appreciate as it shows there’s demand for more, but it just totally depends on the game’s performance!) That's all for now. If you're playing for the first time over the weekend, I hope you enjoy it! And remember, burn those bodies... Jordan
