Sludgineers : Patch #4 (v1.00.04)

Hi everyone,

🛠️ Patch #4 is now live! 👷 Welcome to Carl's Amazing Resource Exchange!

Patch #4 (v1.00.04)

Added new Resource Exchange;

  • Unlocked in Region 6 (City Levels).
  • Click on the Region Exchange on the map or in the top HUD to access Carl's Amazing Resource Exchange.
  • Buy or sell resources to get what you need for upgrades.
  • Complete 2 new Quests to improve your buy and sell rates (located in regions 6 and 7).

Updating Your Game

  • How to force the game update: Try restarting the steam client, then validate the game files by either right clicking the game in your Library, or click the gear icon from the game's Library page on the far right > From the drop down menu, select Properties > Select the Installed Files tab and click the Verify integrity of game files button.

What's Next

  • Our focus now is on Update #1: Adding new challenges / modifiers to each level to improve end game replayability (post final level), for new and higher rewards. We're still in the design, planning and discussion phase for this update, and it will be a fairly substantial chunk of work, so it will take us some time.
  • In addition, we've been working nonstop over the last 6+ months, so will be taking a couple of weeks off to 'recharge our batteries' 🪫➡️🔋. Appreciate your patience! We will keep you posted on progress, and thank you again for playing, reviewing, providing feedback! 💖
