At long last, input rebinding and controller support has been added to PIGFACE!

Additionally, I also snuck in some optimization for in-game entities and particle systems that’ll hopefully boost performance in most levels. Hope you guys enjoy, and Merry (Early) Christmas!

Thank everyone for your support and patience as Titolovesyou worked through some of the issues that got brought up during The Mall Update!

We've been keeping an eye on the forums and bug reports, so if anything comes up, please let us know!

If you've been playing PIGFACE, make sure to leave a review, and if you have already, THANK YOU!

Below are the hotfix patch notes:

• Enemies now react to the turrets being destroyed

• Fixed objectives disappearing from the map screen

• Exit's "spider-hands" have been fixed

• Fixed an issue causing enemies to animate out of sync.

Exit is tasked with wiping out some key members of the Jumpsuits at an abandoned mall. New traps, new weapons, and an indoor roller coaster stand in her way, but the question remains ... where the hell are these guys coming from?

I'm so happy to have the mall polished up and finished for you guys. To me, it's been one of the most satisfying things to work on since it's finally made me understand how a PIGFACE level should feel.
A month or so ago, when this level was still in its infancy, I was having some pretty hefty doubts about my ability to make it work, both for performance reasons and time. Initially, the problem was that it was way too big -- it had tons of dead space and it was completely unbalanced.

If you went in with a shotgun and hoped to do much of anything, you were toast before you even got in the door.

Since then, the mall has been trimmed up and brought closer together with lots of obstacles between points of interest.
So, if you want to go in with just a melee weapon and the new melee-focused mask, you can make it work! If you want to go pistols-only and sneak around, you can! If you want to smoke up a storm and charge in with an LMG and explosives, go for it!

All this to say, I think I've found a good balance; each type of player can feel like the way they want to play is justified by the level design.

My goal for future levels is to provide as many avenues as I can so that you can decide how to tackle something, rather than being given an obstacle that has only one solution. For the main jobs in PIGFACE, that's basically the design philosophy.

Thanks for keeping your game updated, and as always, we appreciate your support!

hope you've all been enjoying the game so far.

It's been so nice seeing everyone's feedback and it's been so helpful to my process. I want you guys to know that myself and DreadXP are working to get a roadmap out to you guys so you know where my head's at regarding future content.

Currently, I'm working on some new jobs for you guys as well as some new weapons to play around with. Since I'm basically a one-man-show, I need to make sure I apply my time correctly and focus on the important shit first.

So, for right now, I'm gonna try my best to get new content out to you soon. I'm working on a roadmap right now that will have some more details that I will be able to share soon!

But for the time being, I'm gonna get back to it and do some planning. Talk to you guys soon, and I hope you're excited for the future of PIGFACE!

Yo! It's release day today!

After a short delay and lots of polishing, I'm super stoked to be releasing PIGFACE into Early Access. It's been a long road to get to this point, but it's been immensely gratifying every step of the way.

It's kind of weird seeing PIGFACE evolving from a prototype into a game, I still remember the feeling I got the first time I was able to load into a level from the apartment -- it started to make the game feel like it was part of a world. Now, there are a few more levels, with plenty to come, and that feeling of persistence has kept growing.

My hope is that by the time 1.0 rolls around, PIGFACE will feel like a part of something a lot bigger than itself. That was one of the main goals I had, internally, for this project. A goal that went beyond just gameplay and aesthetic. I feel like, for me, games are really magical when they can sell you the idea that there's something beyond the billboarded background trees and closed-off doorways at the map's boundaries. I tried to put some of that magic in PIGFACE, just a bit.

Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy the launch! I'm already hard at work for the first content update that'll keep pushing the game and its story forward. I can't wait to hear all the feedback and see all the videos people make about the game. Get in there and get the job done >:)
