Congo v2.0 Update! - LOCAL COOP NOW AVAILABLE
Congo Patch Notes — April 29, 2019
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
It’s been a while since we have posted anything or released an update for Congo. There has been many, many factors behind this both financially and personally, but we’re happy to say that we have finally managed to get together a new update for Congo with a number of very important new features and changes!
- LOCAL / COUCH COOP FOR UP TO 4 PLAYERS
The biggest new feature is that we have now officially added Local / Couch co-op option for up to 4 players and enjoy Congo split-screen. - CHANGED THE DEFAULT CAMERA ANGLE
We have altered the camera angle quite considerably. We think this works better, but please let us know your thoughts! - ADJUSTED LIGHTING AND POST-PROCESSING
We have drastically increased the visibility for all levels. Combined with the new camera angle should mean exploring the jungle is a bit more enjoyable. - FOCUS ON COOPERATIVE PLAY
You may notice that some of the menu items have been changed around and single player option is now missing. Congo is built entirely around cooperative play and playing with a few friends and we felt that the experience you get playing single player doesn’t live up to the coop experience. Because of this, we have focused everything on cooperative play, but if you want to, you can still play single player by starting an online or local coop match and starting the game without any other players. - ADDED MORE SUPPLY BOXES AND INCREASED BIG GUNS
We have added more supply boxes to all levels, so you should have access to more equipment. We have also reduced the rarity of the AK-47, SPAS-12 and M16 so you hopefully get to use these more often! - ADDED AND IMPROVED SOUNDS AND MUSIC
- GIVEN PLAYERS GPS AND 10 REVIVE NEEDLES AS DEFAULT
- ADJUSTED COLLISION ON ALL PROPS TO BE MORE ACCURATE
- TWEAKED GUI ELEMENTS
- TWEAKED DEFAULT CONTROLLER SETTINGS SO SHOULD BE EASIER TO PLAY WITH A CONTROLLER
You can still change the sensitivity settings in the Options menu. - STOPPED MONSTERS BEING ABLE TO KILL YOU WHILE YOU’RE WATCHING A CINEMATIC
- TWEAKS TO MONSTER AI
- BUG FIXES
Some of you may also have noticed that the developer of Congo has changed from The Innocent Devils to Big Red Eight. Big Red Eight is still formed from the same developers (Jack, Tom and Jason!) but now we have cut free from the previous shareholders and investors and formed a new, different company structure that should hopefully allow us to work on our products and provide the support that Congo and the players deserve! For us, Congo is still a project we have to fit around our day-jobs and our adult(ish) lives, but now we are free from some company-orientated constraints, thinks should be a little better!
