- Minor Patch 1.00.07 - 6 December 2024
Quick patch primarily addressing later portions of the game: Mummies and enemies now all slightly faster to compensate for the arm up nerf. Fixed issue causing the first boss to not attack as often as intended, especially when being photographed quickly. Fixed bug where the perfect tour achievement was being rewarded incorrectly. Fixed various minor collision issues in some levels. Cleanup in levels in regions 5 and beyond to allow better backtracking to collect missed ankhs. Damage area for enemies on the spike pressure plates is slightly larger.
- 1.00.06 - Minor Update - 26 November 2024
Quick followup patch with some balance changes: Reduced tourists bandage slots by 1, back to original value. We really want bandages to always feel like a valuable resource, but when the bandage pool is too big it feels less impactful. With recent changes that increased bandage counts on the map, the slightly smaller pool keeps players more eager to find the bandages. Time to heal further reduced from 0.8s to 0.7s. Maria's heal was also still at 1s, so it has been reduced down to 0.7s to match the other tourists. Added 2 additional bandages onto the map for the first boss on normal mode. Bosses now have a touch of dynamic difficulty on normal and easy mode. When they damage the player, they are a bit more forgiving to play against, but ramp back up to "standard" tuning when sufficient damage is done. The idea is to give players a bit of time to heal after getting bonked instead of the b…
- Difficulty Overhaul Patch - 1.00.05 - 22 November 2024
We have lowered the difficulty of the game across the board in an attempt to reduce the need for players to engage with the easy mode options, especially in the early portions of the game. 🏃Movement Changes Mummies now have slightly slower attack speeds, giving you more time to react Enemy projectile speeds reduced Added a new easy mode boost: Slow Time! This reduces the game clock speed by 25%, giving you more time to process what’s happening and react accordingly. ❤️🩹Damage and Health Changes Tourists have an extra heart and bandage slot Additional bandages have been added to each room When a player takes damage, they are immune from further damage for slightly longer, up from 2s to 2.5s of immunity. Scarabs that latch onto the player deal damage less frequently, now every 3s up from every 2s. Time to heal with a bandage reduced from 0.9s to 0.8s Sekhmet Pads also now destroy all e…
- Patch 1.00.04 - 12 November 2024
Quick patch with a few fixes! Various small pathing cleanups so scarabs don't get stuck as often. Silly little critters! Pathing fix where sometimes the mummies would just stop running and stand in place. Though this was probably appreciated in some tense situations... Fixed a couple murals that were hard to get with Brick's camera Made a secret in one room SLIGHTLY more obvious :) Some chopper statues had missing rubble... but no more! Region 3 base camp camera area fixed so it doesn't show so much black space. Turns out if you beat a region, went to the fun house, then progressed to the new region... it would spawn you outside the fun house in the new area instead of in the proper region starting spawn point. Fixed! If you crashed into the photographers in Itiner-rally, they'd just give up taking pictures! Now they're more resilient. Minor subtitle and VO alignment fixes in late cutsc…
- Devlog #5 - The Journey - 7 November 2024
Three and a half years and we are finally done! Run From Mummies is out now! The launch has left Matt and me feeling a bit nostalgic. Looking back on the last three years and how we ended up where we are today. While we had been sitting on a vague idea since 2011, born of brainstorming between rounds of Halo 3 or Team Fortress and a random first sketch, things did not kick off in earnest until much later. The first sketch that would eventually start it all. Once we were committed to this concept, prototyping began at rapid speeds. It took a mere couple of weeks before we had levels that were playable. These levels weren’t exactly what they are now but they had everything to take out a tourist, boulders, spike traps and rudimentary mummies. Run From Mummies was starting to quickly take shape… but there was still much work to be done. Early concepts of levels and level loops From the bare…

- Run From Mummies is close to feature complete! - 26 August 2024
Hey Tourists! 👋 July brought us SO CLOSE to being feature complete! With just a few more little elements to tidy up in August, we're excited to enter the polish phase before launch soon. In particular, we knocked out the following: All 10 Fun House mini-games are ready to ship, and lots of fun! We added loads of interesting/silly NPC dialog across the game. Steam achievements are integrated and ready to be unlocked! We also did a lot of optimization and cleanup, getting the game's memory footprint down from ~4 GB to ~2 GB. We will keep working this down as we get closer to launch so lower-end PCs can play the game without issue. The new "Stay Alive" fun house minigame requires you to dodge arrows, sand blobs, and grabby hands for 2 minutes! More and more enemies spawn as the timer counts down... can you enter a zen mode to dodge everything and win? That only leaves a handful of feature…
- Run From Mummies Finds Its Voices! - 19 August 2024
Working with fourteen brilliant voice actors and a voice director with no shortage of accolades has been an incredible privilege. With the recent discourse around AI, we asked ourselves, “Why work with AI voices?” and the answer is simple: We will not. Collaborating with talented people is too wonderful of an experience to even consider using AI in any facet of Run From Mummies. Fostering talent in the games industry just makes sense to us. Please meet the amazing real human people behind the voices of Run From Mummies. We promise none of them are mummies. Probably. The illustrious Thomas Mitchells You may have seen his name in the credits of a little-known game: Baldur’s Gate 3! Anthony Botelho’s incredible voice can be heard throughout as Khamsin, Ricardo, and various other roles! Ariana Rosario brings her all for Anat, Maria, and additional roles! Chanisha Somatilaka is a gem of tale…
