  Obitus soon on Kickstarter

  Hey everyone! Some of you might remember that I launched a Kickstarter for Obitus a while back and to be honest, it didn’t go as planned. Back then, I lacked the knowledge and experience to make the campaign as strong as it needed to be — and I learned a LOT from that first attempt. Now, I’m back for round two! This time the campaign has been completely remade Better visuals and polished gameplay footage. Stronger and clearer campaign content. Reward tiers that are actually visible this time :P and easy to understand! The Kickstarter page is already live in “Pre-Launch” mode — click “Notify me on launch” to be first in line when it goes live: Link to Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/byberg/obitus-0 Even if you can’t back the project financially, hitting that Notify Me button helps a LOT by showing interest and boosting visibility. Let’s make this the campaign that brings to life! Thanks for sticking with me, Jimmy Byberg – Developer of Obitus

Added: • Gamepad support • Steam functionality • Steam achievements • Stream lobby/match system • Option to hide UI • Game start countdown • Campfires • Lens flare for the sun • Cancel option when using or consuming items • Freshwater access • Item - Map access Balanced: • Footstep sounds • Stamina regeneration Fixed: • Crash related to item durability • Empty chat messages • Inventory item menu functions • Exploit: gaining points from hitting dead players • Ice pick damage calculation • Drop chance logic (rare drops are now less frequent) • Incorrect item names • Placement issues with campfires and mines • Crafting issues • Inventory full bug • Lobby player count not updating correctly • Sky counter bug • Pod humming sound distance • General inventory system stability • Running animation glitching when running out of stamina Updated: • UI design Known Issues: • Swimming is not functional (players can still go underwater) Coming dev logs will be more "visual" and il promise to add some eye candy and not just boring text!
