Hello again! It's another patch that focuses on adjusting the challenge in lower difficulties, fixing bugs and some French typos and adding a checkpoint in the game in a challenging part later in the game. We have a lot of feedback that people wanted to use the slingshot more, so we've added more ammo for it throughout the game.

Also, we've been very grateful to the Metal Gear Speedrunning community who have provided feedback and testing for an in game timer from before the launch of the game. So if you'd like to see how long it takes you to run the game, or want to challenge yourself to go faster in a second playthrough, feel free to benefit from their support in it's creation. If you do this, please know that there is an option to change your save slot so you don't overwrite your previous progress or want to try a new difficulty than before.

This patch also will be the last one for a few days as we prepare to take all of the changes from 1.0.1 through 1.0.4 and prepare them for consoles. They're still on 1.0.0 and it's important that we provide these good fixes and updates to them as well. After that, we'll continue with more updates that include higher resolutions, investigating bug reports, controller adjustments, difficulty spikes, checkpoints, polishing some parts, and adding some small additional game additions.

Thank you for playing UnMetal and I hope it gives you laughs and surprises as you play it.
