Hello steam!

Patch 1.2 for Escape From Pork Belly is here. We had a sneak patch a little while ago to iron out bugs and add a much needed cutscene skip. We never did any news update on it, so we're detailing it here below instead.

-Hold E to skip cutscene
-Timer that showed up in the end was broken (sorry speedrunners)
-Fixed so grunts don't rise up again after being defeated
-Items would sometime show up as red even though you could buy them
-Total loss of input should now be fixed
-Heals would sometimes not heal you to max


-Nevada's Alt Costume is in!
-New Cutscene for high friendship with Nevada
-New Endless mode!
-We added a new gangsona to the crowd.

We're well on our way to reaching "All Time" Overwhelmingly Positive on steam! Just need 146 more reviews!

As of this week, we are officially back in the Episode 1 mines and we'll be updating you guys when newsworthy content arise. Thank you for being here for us!!!!

PS: Join the discord or follow us on twitter for smaller updates and behind the scenes banter!

Enjoy the update!!

Hello all!



Journey back into the world of Star Fetchers by clawing your way out of an underground gladiator arena in an experience dripping with style, slammin' beats, and fast-paced punch-out style combat!



This is a long overdue update the Star Fetchers Pilot. A lot of you have at this point already checked it out when it's been on one of the beta branches. But we have now officially lifted it over to the main branch.


The change to gameplay is so significant at this point that it's hard to note them all down. Game has had a lot of polish and general gameplay changes done to it, but here's a list of some of them.

• Completely new physics system which includes cuttable cloth and objects in the world
  
• Lots of polish done to the player controller
  
• DLC selection on pause menu
  
• Lua as scripting language
  
• Video Bumpers for the pause menu is now a thing

We've gotten a heap of new languages translated for Star Fetchers Pilot!
Note: All of the translations are fan translations provided by the wonderful community of Star Fetchers.
The following languages have been added to the game. More will come!

• German
  
• Ukrainian
  
• Indonesian
  
• Thai
  
• Croatian
  
• Afrikaans

Thank you all for sticking with Star Fetchers. We're going do spend some time on bug-hunting and QOL for Escape From Pork Belly, then we're back on the regular development for Episode 1.

Thank you

This has been a incredible fun project to work on, but it's time to wrap it up. We've learned so much and we are now stronger.

Thank you // LK

We wanted to make something cool and short, just to get something out and in front of people for a morale boost while we're still deep in development for Episode 1. So we got to work making a mini episode starring the Thornz in a small side adventure called "Escape From Pork Belly"

EfPB is a short, stand-alone adventure that takes place between the Pilot and Episode 1, where you take the role of Zambezi in Punch Out style combat. Round after round, you'll take down heavily stylized opponents in simple, highly satisfying combat. Winning a match let's you move up a rung, but losing sends you right back to the beginning. After enough rounds, you'll hit a boss who wants you gone.

Between rounds, come check out what this cowboy is selling from the back of her van. In the shop you can buy items or power-ups to help you advance through the game.

It's not quite done yet, but anticipate something sooner rather than later. We think EfPB is turning into something really wild, shooting from the hip spark of energy that will energize anyone who's a fan of Star Fetchers.

On a very real note at the end here, working on this has been very refreshing and necessary. When you work on the same thing for so long, you can lose yourself just a little. You get stuck and feel rigid or unsure about everything. Working on this mini episode has shaken out so many cobwebs and development stresses, while also helping us feel creative again. We're aware of the want for Episode 1, so we sincerely thank you for being a great and supportive community while we're wrappin' this DLC up.

Last thing I'd like to say is that I want to apologize for neglecting the community here on steam, I don't personally use steam as a community hub and has thus underappreciated it as a platform to update and properly announce things on. I'll try to do better to update this place on the regular, even when we don't have super big news to announce.

Thank you for sticking with us / LK
