Rest in Peace Larynx the Scavenger. Gone but never forgotten:

Why don't lantern mice spawn in other regions and eat bats? And why don't squidcada migrate between regions?

RIP Larynx!

So I have a question for @jamesprimate: I really love the soundtrack. Any chance of it being on Spotify in the future? I've bought it, but most of the other music I listen to is there and I'd love to be able to listen more easily without switching back and forth. (And if it is released there, might "Old Growth" be included? Though I sort of like the fact that I'd never heard it until it played in-game, and that probably contributed to its eerie atmosphere, it is easily one of my favorite songs composed for the game.)

Edit: Never mind, question answered! Thank you!

For real though, you guys have to be the best devs I've ever seen.
Its only May and you guys are already releasing 2 huge updates  (in total)

AH! For clarification, I was talking about the PS4 patch! Responding to this:

And that one just brings the PS4 version to parity with the current PC v1.015, with some huge added PS4-specific stability improvements.


But as soon as that goes out we'll start making official announcements about the timeline for the *new* update for PC! It just seemed wrong for us to be talking about the third update for the PC version before the PS4 even had one go through :/

Theres only been one PC update though, hasnt there?

Technically two, one to nerf the game a very slight bit and one to fix a couple of stability issues.

By the way, on an unrelated note, I'm working on an unofficial expansion with a couple of other people (though it's mostly just planning until we either have access to more tools such as the level editor or decide to try to forge our own way). We now have a Discord server, a sort of offshoot of the main one, which you can follow for updates, or even if you want to help with development: https://discord.gg/qS3ZedY

Some of my friends have played Rain World and they really liked it.

YO thats very very cool! I wont lie though, im intentionally *not* going to look at anything like that until we've wrapped up our own expansion plans, as i dont want to have that in my head even subconsciously (if that makes sense!)

But once we finish up our plans, we've discussed bringing the rain world level editor to steamworks and letting yall go wild with it. (and by "go wild" i mean "suffer the horrible tedium and instability that we did" lol) No timeline on that of course, but just letting you know that we're keeping yall in mind

You should definitely play it! It's a great game, and I can confidently say that it's one of my favorites of all time.

That makes sense, and that's probably good. Unfortunately it means there's a fair likelihood that our plans will conflict with future canon, but that's understandable given that we started so early and knew that updates are coming.

Perfect! In the meantime we'll keep working on lots and lots of concept art and story, and look forward to the updates! I already love what I've seen so far.

How about a postmortem?

[12LandsBoundlessSpace]

So... WTF is Polybius? This is some of the most intense music I've ever heard.

All of that was done in a single update...

Almost. I believe they were a day or so apart, one being v1.01 and the other 1.015, or the current verison

[Manray]

I guess there was just no announcement/news on steam.

BTW, James, I just saw your interview from PAX East 2014... when he asked about your favorite soundtrack, I was really hoping you were going to say FEZ! That is the one that made me love this "genre" so much, and until I heard your OST, it was without question my favorite soundtrack and one of my favorite albums of all time. I never thought I'd hear any other music written for a game that I'd like even nearly as much as that, and yet, you've done it. I now have to hesitate when asked what my favorite OST is because this one, while very different, is so perfect. Thanks again for writing this wonderful music!
