  Howdy folks! Just summarizing a bunch of small quality of life changes that have come through in the last few patches: fixed a rare issue with music in the second intro level fixed an issue with save file upgrades "relaxing" characters get access to basic Organize and Inspect abilities fixed a Steam Achievement issue with the pickups badge some pugs were Too Large, it Wasn't Healthy fixed an issue where the "relax" action sometimes wasn't available when it should have been fixed a terrain offset fixed a campfire offset fixed a AI issue where they sometimes would just... leave the level for no reason I think that should do it! Hope everyone's enjoying 1.2 otherwise

• Overland now has all-dog squads in newest update - 25 September 2020

  Despite being very, very bad at its turn-based tactical survival, I quite enjoy Overland . I always welcome a reason to jump back in and utterly fail at surviving an apocalyptic road trip across the country. Finji have given me another fantastic reason to get back behind the wheel. In its newest update, Overland adds an “all dogs” setting that guarantees your squad will only be made up of furry friends. Also there are pugs now. (more…)

• Build 751 - The Little Things - 4 March 2020

  Since the last patch notes, we've added a bunch of little things to improve the overall feel of the game, including: Hint outlines to help new players find good scavenging spots Organize window can support Large UI mode Improved vista rendering performance Streamlined some campfire/map transitions Fixed some glitches in the vehicle animations Fixed some mouse UI stuff And a handful of fiddly other bits. I think this is the last v1.1 patch - we're already working on v1.2, so it's gonna be a while before another update drops here. I'm really excited about the stuff we're adding, but localizing into almost 20 languages means it might be a bit of a wait, so thanks in advance for your patience!

• Build 745 - It's A Sign - 21 February 2020

  We have these new signs. That's it. Honestly they usually don't even face the camera. They have accurate stop names and distances on them though!!

• Build 742 - Pat Buffs + Audio/UI Fixes - 14 February 2020

  Rebalancing a live game can be a really controversial process but I'm really excited to share with you all that patting dogs now costs zero action points. I think this is a game changer for our competitive players and I'm excited to see what they do with this buff. Other changes include: new quicksand crater visuals changed inspect and organize to have full black backgrounds added 0.1s show/hide fades to a lot of the level UI elements adjusted the timing of title screen and level exit fades boatloads of overdue audio fixes I know I keep saying this is the last one before we buckle down to start work on the bigger update but I keep finding things from the bigger update that is fun to share earlier. We'll probably have another patch next week too! Thanks and have a good weekend?

• Build 733 - 7 February 2020

  This week was all about refinement - lots of little UI, level generation, audio, and graphics improvements in this patch: Re-skinned the Inspect view to match the Organize view! Re-did some of the trading site logic so that traders usually start out next to tables (seems small but feels so nice) Added new end-of-level audio cues that change depending on failure/victory/etc Increased survivor movement speed by almost 10%. Feels nice! Fixed some long-standing bugs with audio and lighting Various balance + difficulty changes We've got one more small, mostly-audio patch coming early next week and then we'll be focusing on the big final content drop!

• Build 724 - [REDACTED] sighted in the Grasslands... - 31 January 2020

  Hey folks, new gameplay and UI cleanups headed your way! New creature! First sighted in the grasslands... New mid-level event! First sighted in the mountains. Trap-hole update - these mountain/desert hazards are more interesting now. UI update - improved the move-range visuals. Graphics update - improved the crater/burrow visuals. Audio updates! More UI and audio updates coming soon...

• Build 713 Available Now - 15 January 2020

  Hey folks! Thanks for bearing with us over this holiday break, and giving us a bit of time to work on the vinyl release. Build 713 is live now with a bunch of little features and fixes: Dogs can pull people into cars now Organize view available in more situations Added new cold-weather idle animation in snowy levels Stealing cars and gas will count as burglary again Fixed missing Steam Overlay / Achievements on Mac OS 10.15 Fixed a level generator issue with searchable barrels Fixed rare issues with the quicksand and falling objects events Fixed organize view rendering issue with certain trades Fixed animation issue with lit flares and the relax poses Fixed issue with beach campfire showing up in the organize view Adjusted some introduction pacing stuff Texture maintenance stuff Feels good to be catching up on QA. We've got a few more patches coming in the next week or two, and then the…

• Overland: Biomes Soundtrack Announcement - 17 December 2019

  We have been wanting to have the soundscapes of Overland available on vinyl for... let's just say, a long time now. We're super excited to finally have the opportunity! With the help of our friends at Bandcamp we can make a very carefully crafted physical copy. We wanted to do this vinyl campaign because it lets us distribute affordable records, which usually you need a label to do, but without a label, and with a ton of creative control. Heck yeah! Join our crew and help us make this a possibility! Overland: Biomes takes you on a slow, evolving journey through the biomes of Overland. Experience intense and surprising moments punctuated by distortion and low-frequency power. Instructions on how to have the best listening experience: grab your favorite bevy, invite a friend(s), find a warm blanket or fire to sit by, and turn off the lights. Safe travels... Overland: Biomes is a limited e…

• Build 701 - 11 December 2019

  We fixed the achievements.

• You could get your car's name in Overland - 2 December 2019

  You’re supposed to stay detached from people in the apocalypse because caring about other humans gets in the way of looking out for number one. Overland , the strategic survival game about road-tripping West during an alien infestation, makes it tough to stop caring about them because each one (dogs included) has a randomly chosen name and backstory. Apparently I’ll be getting emotionally attached to my cars soon too because Overland wants to name them as well. (more…)

• Build 694 - 27 November 2019

  Hey folks! Bunch of small updates this week, including: Built a new rendering system for some of the full-screen weather fx Fixed some bugs in the new inventory management system Adjusted triggers for trading camp dialog Various performance improvements Fixed a couple of rare crashes Level generator fixes Audio fixes As always, more good stuff on the way (after the US holiday)!
