GOG Build Number: 1.1.2

Let's Get Physical Update

Phew, this update took a lot longer to get out than we hoped. We’ll spare you the excuses, thank you for your patience with us, and skip straight to the highlights of what this update contains!
The headliner is the physics pass! While we have more work to do in this area in both improving the physics of the objects, and adding more, there is enough here already for you guys to have some fun kicking stuff around.

Speaking of kicking… we are excited to introduce the drop kick!

There are also errand improvements, AI improvements, UI improvements, new Going POSTAL challenges, mirrors, more interactive environment objects, level design improvements, sound design improvements, a crap ton of bug fixes, and so much more.

We also have many more features and improvements nearly ready that didn’t quite make the cut for this update - we’ll post a developers update regarding all that soon.

Note: We highly recommend starting a new save game for this update.

For the full list of bug fixes, please visit our website as we couldn't include the changelog here due to the character limit: https://runningwithscissors.com/postal-4-no-regerts-lets-get-physical-update-1-1-2

"Filthy Gorgeous" Update

Attention POSTAL fans and frenemies!

This update is less about throwing more features into the game and more about improving presentation and polish.

Our development team has been hard at work (and will keep at it) programming our NPCs to take in their surroundings and interact with each other in more complex and, dare we say, more interesting ways.
We've given particle effects a long-awaited makeover. For all the pyromaniacs out there, setting things ablaze and extinguishing them with your personal... ahem, 'firehose'... is now more visually gratifying than ever. And for those who love a good kaboom, you'll find explosions much more rewarding with the revamped effects. As for the chaos-causing explodable vehicles, we've tweaked them for maximum boom!

Turning to the world of POSTAL 4, we've rolled up our sleeves and reworked various environments to enhance your gameplay experience. The notorious Zag has received particular attention and is now bursting with new details and easter eggs for you to discover. We've also ironed out more kinks with physics objects, improving how they behave and interact following their introduction from the last update.

We haven't forgotten about the heat of battle, either. You'll notice smoother performance during intense gunfights, especially when the screen is crowded with NPCs going POSTAL.

And for all you controller warriors, we're taking PC controller support up a notch, with a batch of fixes already in place and more refinements on the way.

Stay tuned for more updates!
