Update 0.9

Added

• Corey Cruise and Rick Hunter voice packs! You will now be able to select between the three Dude voices before starting a New Game
• Grapple Points! You’ll see many grapple points throughout the game which you can use to access the normally inaccessible areas. Chain Sickle is required to use them
• Dog petting!
• Working Scooter ATM machines! In order to make better use of our in-game economy, we’ve finally implemented working ATM machines which are located right next to every Scooter station. Right now, in order to get access to a scooter, you’ll need to pay a fee
• New Scooter speedometer! In First Person, you will now notice a working, sleek physical speedometer. You might notice some messages pop up on the central Scooter display too 🙂
• Hold-To-Skip feature for cutscenes! You will no longer have to mash the Spacebar button to skip a cutscene
• Easy, Medium and Hard difficulty settings! Those are just the basic difficulties. More POSTAL-style difficulty levels coming in 1.0!
• New NPCs: Chicks and Scorpions!
• Steerable Sniper Rifle bullet!
• Missing paths / sequences to the VR errand! When we initially released this errand, several things weren’t quite ready such as the “Pay-To-Win” path which would allow you to skip puzzles by spending your hard earned in-game cash
• New Sky / Landscape rocks and Roads!
• Quick Health button!
• Fast Travel boards!
• Vending Machines! There are four types of vending machines: Clothing, Ammo / Weapons, Health and Speciality
• Going POSTAL Challenges! Plenty of challenges have been added across all the maps. You’ll be able to get rewards for completing each challenge. If you fail one, you’ll be able to come back to it the next day and attempt it again! Update 1.0 will feature many more as well a less placeholder effect when a challenge is active!
• Collectibles! (50 Kunny dolls, 50 Larry dolls, 50 Krotchy dolls and 20 Golden Larry dolls). Collecting 10 / 20 and 50 of each will spawn a reward box. This feature is not fully complete, especially the reward tiers. It will be wrapped up just in time for 1.0
• Police Heat / Assault Like P2’s Wanted meter, performing illicit actions in sight of an authority figure will raise the player’s Heat level, the amount raised dependent on the heinousness of the act. Again like P2, any Heat level above 0 causes any authority figure to engage the player on sight. The big difference here comes from attaining a max Heat level.
  Once the Heat Meter hits the max level, the police initiate an Assault on the player. This is a timed phase in which police units are dynamically spawned into the level to attack the player, or rather the player’s last known location. A timer appears on the player’s Heat Meter to indicate how much time is left in the Assault. Police units spawn in squads of 2-5 pawns each. The type and overall number of units that are spawned are dependent on the day of the week and possibly also the player’s selected difficulty mode. In an Assault, regular cops do not try to arrest the player. All authority figures will simply attempt to kill on sight for the duration. This feature will be fully fleshed out for 1.0 with things such as Police arriving on Scooters as well as different cop “tiers”.
• New Grenade model! with Krotchy and Kunny skins
• New ambience music in several areas across the map!
• Unique sounds for VR guns!
• New Main Menu art! In 1.0, each day will have its own Menu art
