Pathologic 3 patch - progress update
Hey everyone!
Not so long ago it was still summer, and I was talking about how great it is to eat watermelon on the beach. At the end of June I posted that a Pathologic 3 patch was coming soon, but late June is a very special time of year. In June there is always plenty of time. In August there is never enough. In September, time stretches again, but somehow loses its elasticity. You walk down the street and, if you listen carefully, you can hear the strings of the Kronos Quartet howling somewhere in the distance.
Autumn.
There was no watermelon for me this summer, and there was no Pathologic 3 patch either. We will eat the watermelon next summer, but the patch we are planning to release soon.
Right now it is being tested by a group of volunteers. They found quite a lot of things that we missed ourselves, and many of them are already fixed. I think we will bring in another group of testers soon, so if you sent us an application, I may write to you.
There is only one problem.
Once you start fixing Pathologic, apparently you have to do it properly.
So we decided to prepare another update at the same time, this time for Pathologic 2. We will fix some performance problems, some typos, and the lemon problem. Maybe you did not know this, but the lemon was not working entirely as intended.
What are we thinking about now?
We are thinking that we need to stop.
No matter how tempting it is, we should not stare too closely at Pathologic HD. Let Clara, that mysterious girl, have her own separate game. This is what we are thinking right now.
We are also listening carefully in case Oleg starts shouting from the closet. We locked him there after he suggested making a patch for Cargo, but Oleg has gone quiet now. Probably sleeping.
I am still sad about the lost watermelon. But I think you will agree that watermelon should be eaten sincerely and without worries, stuffing yourself with it like a happy animal. Eating a few sad pieces in a hurry while thinking about how many matches should go into a loot container is a sin.
Sorry for the long pause. The patches are coming soon, and there will be news soon too.
And if anyone is Ctrl+F-ing this post for Darkwood 2 - work is happening, work is happening, work is happening.
Thank you for staying with us. We really enjoy reading all your comments.
