Hey all, thanks for playing Kinsfolk, leaving reviews and giving feedback! Because of that I managed to address all the problems you reported in the hours and days after launch.

I been posting daily patches since launch day, but wanted to post one proper longer patch format for folks that are interested in what changed.

In no particular order they are:

• Added a Content Notice on the Steam page that the game deals with grief and loss

• The nightmare level now has a bit brighter stars to help you navigate when the torch goes out

• Adjusted the lighting in certain areas like the initial house to make it easier to navigate

• Made the jumping puzzle in the climbing level less frustrating and fixed several issues

  • Removed trees that block views from jumps which was annoying

  • Made certain jumps easier (especially the ones with frustrating mechanics)

  • Made meshes like trees under rocks have no collision so you cannot get stuck there

  • Made the end segment more clear direction-wise

• Made tooltips easier to read, especially on certain backgrounds like snow

• Fixed the footsteps not registering on snow level

• Fixed several issues with blocking volumes (invisible walls) across a few levels that people reported

• Fixed missing river SFX in the farm story

• Fixed a bugs in the climbing level

  • If you don't console the baby in the level before, you would be stuck walking, making the level impossible to beat without loading

  • Increased the high of invisible walls so you cannot get stuck if you jump from the end of the level into the water

• Fixed a bug in the yellow level where you could get stuck behind the water mill

Thanks to everyone reporting issues and giving feedback to make the game better.

Cheers,

Vinko
