Devlog #5: OTK Expo, New Map, Bug fixes and more

Hey Sinners, hope you're doing well!

I've been a bit less active on social media recently, that's because I've been busy fixing bugs reported during the recent Beta and there wasn't much to show, but in the past few couples of weeks, I've also worked on the second map, which I am happy to share now. I also have nice news that I'll keep for the end of the devlog

• Bug fixed:
  
  - Not being able to use the chat
  - Character that doesn't turn / can't use their capacity
  - Invisible character
  - Stuck on a black/green screen
  - BOTs are not correctly marked as 'dead' in the book
  - Players being able to join a game that already started
  - Game doesn't end when Matriarch leaves
  
  
• New Map: The Barn
  
  - The map is designed for shorter games & fewer players, (2-4 players ideally), it's much smaller than the first map and has only 3 activities
  - New activities such as shearing sheep or peeling potatoes, the gameplay is a bit different than the activities of the first map since it's not about moving but rather using or holding the action button with the right rhythm. In the future, I'd like to experiment with a variety of gameplay (like action + movement)

• New Game Option: Random Matriarch
  
  
• And finally, I'm happy to announce that The Matriarch has been selected to participate in the upcoming OTK Expo, on June 8th & on Asmongold's twitch channel. Asmongold and the OTK team will be reviewing 30 indie games, save the date!
  
  

That's it for this month, after wrapping up the new map, I'll focus on public servers and a few other small features, stay tuned!

Cheers,
