Welcome back, employees! A fresh new patch is ready to be enjoyed! This is going to be our final patch before the Early Access launch on Steam! Afterward, all future patches will then be applied to all stores at the same time.

So let’s talk about what is new in v0.4.4 of Under Contract!

The biggest overall change worth going into more detail about is the newly added voice recordings for all the characters in Under Contract. We do plan to add a whole lot more to the game to fix lines that repeat too much and add a better vibe to the content we already have. But overall the new lines add so much more polish to the game.

• Richard - HiJenx VO
• Dominique - FreeStyle Audio
• Bliss - Empress Blue
• Monika - MimiHung
• Tracy - cutie-tooty-booty
• Kelly - BakuSatsuHo VA
• Marketing Minions - KumBomb
• Frida - KumBomb

Added:

• Voice clips were added for combat and narrative for all characters.
• Updated Credits to include voice actors with the new voice lines.
• Bliss combat music was added.
• Added party tab button prompt on Overworld.
• Controller buttons and analog changes for movement and gem collections.
• Win effects added.

Changed:

• Skip overlay added to sex intros.
• Solid block hazards are easier.
• Bombs give more raceline energy.
• Blizzards no longer spawn after completion.
• Visible snowflakes were removed on completion.
• Visible spikes were removed on completion.
• Shooting minions no longer destroy gems.
• Optimized blaster g-hand component calls (game runs faster).
• Added more special gems to levels.
• Optimized map lines (overworld is faster).
• Volume changes for music across the whole game.

We hope you all enjoy the new patch! We are super duper excited about the Steam release and have a lot of exciting plans to bring you all in on!
