- High Resolution Sprites/Textures - 21 November 2018
The support and option for High Resolution Sprites/Textures (4K) has been added to the game! Great for people that play the game at a 1440p resolution or higher. Originally the game used sprites/textures made for 1080p, which didn't look that good when you played the game at higher resolutions. So I went through a re-exported them all for 4K, added support for sprites at different resolutions and fixed a whole bunch of problems that came with it. Now the game can look nice and crisp at higher resolutions! Patch Notes: Added new option for high resolution (4K) sprites/textures (default sprites/textures are 1080p) - the game now looks nice and crisp on 1440p+ resolutions Tweaked how textures are loaded (should fix the LoadingFailedException crashes that occurred for some people) Tweaked pre-loading and loading screens to fix some issues Fixed AI path-finding bug that could occur on some m…
- New and Updated Translations - 9 November 2018
GIBZ has finally gotten offical translations for French and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional). The translations for Russian, Ukrainian and German have also been updated to include the recent content (Spanish was updated last week as well). The game has already done pretty well in China and France compared to other countries so I thought it was about time I actually added support for their languages. In other news, I'm currently working on adding High Resolution (4K) sprite/texture support. Which will add a new option to use high resolution sprites that makes the game look a lot nicer on 1440p and higher resolutions. It's practically done but a weird issue came up so I'll have to take some more time to get it ready. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F24674349%2F879c12d1493817442b949e92cf382e4c6e17359b.png

- GIBZ - Anniversary - 7 April 2018
Today (April 7) is the one year anniversary since GIBZ released out of early access. I only noticed a couple of weeks ago so I didn't have much time to put into the new content update I had planned.

You can see a little teaser for that update at the bottom of this post. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F24674349%2Fdc1db2046d8a9893fad1539ef6b7d18190f67e5f.png Special Player Head Unlock Codes To give you guys something to enjoy to help celebrate the anniversary I decided to make the secret player head codes public!
