|---|---|---|
| Patch 1.0.4 - Improvements | 2025-05-11 | A few glaring issues I missed a while back, like trees disappearing when chopping them down and underwater screen fx have been fixed up. I only found out about these issues when I came across a recent youtube video covering our game. Embarrassing on my part to say the least, I rushed out fixes without thorough testing that ended up causing more issues. I apologise for letting these issues slip through. |
| Patch 1.0.3 - Japanese Localisation + Improvements | 2025-03-03 | Hello everyone! I've made some improvements as well as introduce Japanese localisation for the game's interface. Some of the improvements include lowering the weapon sway for better aiming down sight, more rocks in the spawn area to help players get started, fixed an issue with player cosmetics not letting the game start properly. Please let me know of any further issues or things you would like to see improved. Thank you! |
| 1.0.2 - Performance Improvement Patch | 2025-02-16 | Hello everyone, great news today! This new patch today brings a significant performance increase in the game. There has been improvements made across the board for rendering and code optimisation. While there are still more improvements to come, players should expect to see much higher framerates than before. Thank you for your patience, stay tuned for more improvements! Japan players, we see you! Full japanese localisation is coming very soon! |
| Performance Stability Hotfix | 2025-02-13 | A small hotfix that should stabilise performance better. - Players should see a reduction in choppy framerate drops, should sit stably at a consistent rate. - Work is still ongoing to raise the maximum framerate, look out for updates in the following days. Thank you! |
| Framerate Optimisation Efforts Are Underway | 2025-02-13 | Hey everyone, welcome to all our new players that have come in over the past few days! Just wanted to give a quick response to the feedback around optimisation we've seen in our recent steam reviews. We're hearing you, and I'm committing time into making every improvement possible to boost the game's overall framerate. I'll provide an update on this as soon as possible. Thank you! |
| FURTIVE Leaves Early Access | 2025-02-10 | We've just released a final update fixing a few last remaining issues and making a couple of improvements. There is also partial controller support available. As mentioned before, we made the decision to move forward with a new project rather than continue new content for FURTIVE due to a multitude of reasons. We're happy to have rounded out the last few issues, take the early access label off, drop the game price as we move into a new era for our studio. We're getting closer to announcing our next project that we've been working on for some time, a new kind of survival game, we're extremely looking forward to bringing it to your attention so |
| Dev Update - June 12th | 2024-06-12 | Hey everyone, Dev Update! Just a little update about the next update. Since releasing Call To Arms Part I, we've had to scale back our efforts to take a small break for ourselves and we've had time to reconsider how we will be approaching our future plans. First, we're going to be pushing back the content we were planning to release this month to a later point for now, but we're doing this to ensure we're delivering a satisfying content update that comes with as little issues as possible, and so that we have time to improve other areas that need attention as well. So you can expect the features we had planned and more for the next content upd |

| Weapon Attachments & New Locations | 2024-05-09 | Another look into our upcoming 'CALL TO ARMS' content update. Here's your first look at weapon attachments, through the new Workbench you will be able to equip different sights, silencers and more to your firearms for certain tactical advantages. Another improvement also being made to firearms is we've taken out the walking animation while aiming down sights to keep the weapon steady, we're also lowering the FOV while aiming which will significantly improve the ADS experience when using the firearms. In case you missed our last couple of posts, the new workbench as seen above will be replacing the current workbench. It will replace the crafti |
| First Look Into CALL TO ARMS | 2024-05-02 | Here's a peak into the CALL TO ARMS update! We've heard a lot of people getting their HV-1 stuck too often, so today we present a new modification to the vehicle. The winch! Hook it up to a nearby tree and wind yourself in to get the vehicle unstuck. I'd also like to show improvements made to the weapon UI that shows the ammunition type for the currently held firearm and melee weapon/tool degradation health status. We're also bringing 60 new steam achievements with this update, here's a little peak into my folder with some of the artworks. We've got heaps more to show off soon as we get closer to the release of this update, at the moment we'r |

| FURTIVE now releasing 29 March 2024 | 2023-11-20 | FURTIVE will now be releasing in Early Access 29 March 2024. Stay tuned on our socials for more posts coming over the next few weeks. This is a delay from our 2023 release plans we wanted to stick to, but meeting that time frame became more and more unrealistic due to the remaining workload. We are however completely locked in on this date and have begun doing more non-remote work sessions together to achieve this goal. We have chosen to go with an Early Access release to give a period of time for us to act on player feedback related directly to any issues we missed in testing and such, we expect to be out of it as soon as we are satisfied wi |

Although we can agree on the big flaws found in our demo, we truly believe we've got great things coming.

| Feedback Response + Development Roadmap | 2023-02-09 | Hello everyone, we've read through all the feedback we've received regarding our demo. We want to apologise for any poor experiences that may have occurred. What you are mostly seeing in the demo is the groundwork that's being laid which we are getting ready to expand upon. But with that there are also some outstanding issues that need to be addressed from performance, to filling the world with more interesting locations and interactable objects. We have a lot of plans that we weren't able to achieve before the demo, we got too ahead of ourselves and were excited to bring you a playable experience to try as soon as we could. But we see we did |
