- Multiplayer PvP is here! - 15 August 2026
This is the first major content update for Killer Bean. Multiplayer is still in beta, but I feel like it’s pretty fun so far. The servers are player hosted through Steam’s P2P networking.2 game modes: Free For All and Team Deathmatch. 10 different maps. More will be added soon. 4 guns and basic cosmetics to start with. More will be added in a couple weeks when I add the level unlock system. Bots can spawn while waiting for more players to join. There are 3 levels of difficulty for bots.Hosts can change multiple settings to customize their server. There’s a lot of server settings, and I’ll add more fun settings in the next update.Players can dive, slide, dodge, shoot, melee knife, and throw grenades. There won’t be any slow motion in multiplayer due to an existing video game patent. Multiplayer is only in 1st person mode currently, but I’ll add 3rd person mode in the future for specific…

- Week 1 Devlog - 16 June 2026
Well that was a rough week! First thank you to everyone who purchased my game! And thank you for all the bug reports and feedback. I honestly thought the game was in good condition for early access launch, but I was wrong! Immediately after launch I started reading bug reports for things I missed during play testing, so I jumped directly into bug fixing. After a week of constant updates, I think the bugs are almost squashed. Here are all the updates I made for the game so far:https://steamcommunity.com/app/1597080/eventcomments/By Thursday or Friday this week the majority of bugs should be fixed, and I should be able to start adding new content. I’m listening to all the feedback, and I agree that I should focus mainly on the City Map. I’m going to first open up the other neighborhoods of the island, so the first mission can take place in any neighborhood. Then I’ll be adding random NPC…
- v0058 - Fixes for game breaking bugs & some improvements - 16 June 2026
Bug Fixes: - Removed ragdoll knockouts during gameplay to prevent getting stuck, but left them for when KB dies.

- v0057 - lots of bug fixes, new save system, new Campaign settings - 13 June 2026
New: - New Save File System and Campaign Settings, with 1-3 Lives or Permadeath - Enemy Health and Enemy Damage multipliers are in the Campaign Settings Bug Fixes: - Fixed Mission 1 soft lock during Activate Uplink sequence - Mouse rotation is consistent across frame rates and 1st & 3rd person view - Fixed Graphics Options changing on their own - Reduced bloom fx - Killer Bean arms are less springy in 1st person view
- Reverting back to v055. v056 made things worse for the mouse control - 12 June 2026
I'm reverting back to v055. v056 did not fix the mouse glitch and made 1st person and driving cameras a lot slower. The mouse glitch could possibly be tied to auto-detecting controller conflicts. I'll let you know when I have new changes. So that means the Mission 1 soft lock will be back again. The cause of the soft lock is when the player moves too far away from the Smuggler's computer. Then the enemies despawn and breaks the mission progress.
- v0056 - mouse glitch fix & Mission 1 soft lock fix - 11 June 2026
- fixed the mouse glitch where the camera might flip 180 degrees during game play. With this new fix, you might need to re-adjust sensitivity sliders because this new change might feel faster than before. - fixed Mission 1 soft lock when activating the uplink sequence.
- Game Design Changes: Save system overhaul, no more permadeath - 10 June 2026
Hi everyone! I've read your comments and reviews, and I'm going to make some big changes to the save system in the next update:OLD SYSTEM:Easy = 5 lives, Normal = 3 lives, Hard = 1 lifeWhen the player loses all lives, the campaign ends and saves are deleted. (bad idea, makes people angry)NEW SYSTEM:All difficulties will have 3 lives, but varying Enemy Health and Enemy Damage multipliersAll missions start with 3 lives. So if you are down to 1 life after Mission 2, then on Mission 3 you start with 3 lives again.Save System only saves on Mission Complete. So if you complete Mission 2, your save file will load Mission 3 next.But, if you lose all your lives during a mission, when you reload the save file, it loads from the beginning of that mission again. So you must finish the mission within those 3 lives in order to progress to the next mission.DEATH CHANGES AND LOOT:I'm going to make it s…
- v0.100.055 - Hot fix 4 - enemy vision fix, Vsync fix, sounds, KB car ragdoll - 9 June 2026
- fixed enemy AI. vision works now, enemies can see again and are a lot tougher - added the majority of sounds to audio volume sliders, but I might have missed some. - KB no longer ejects out of the car during a collision, to prevent ragdoll softlock - graphics Vsync settings switching might be fixed now. Additional Note: I saw requests that I bring back the Enemy Damage and Health multipliers. Okay, I will do so in the next update. I will add them to the Campaign Difficulty popup before the campaign starts. But do you think 1x is still too high? Maybe I should default to .5x and make that the new 1x? Unless there are players who want to go above the current 1x?
- v0.100.054 - Hot fix 3 - fixed black screen freeze & force default settings - 8 June 2026
- fixed the black screen freeze bug if player presses escape too often on the loading screen, which attempts to pause the mission load - forced to set default settings, hopefully for good. The problem was the save system was looking for existing Steam Cloud files that don't exist on new installs, so it failed and set everything to minimum. - removed Enemy Health Multiplier and Enemy Damage Multiplier. These are now set by difficulty settings. Easy = .5x multiplier. Normal and Hard = 1x multiplier
- v0.100.053 - Hotfix: audio slider reverting during voice dialogue - 8 June 2026
- fixed the audio sliders from reverting back to the previous setting if the player changes the volume when a voice dialogue is currently playing.
