Thank you!

Thank you very much!

Yes, its a cut feature, this happened in other areas as well, for example they still include credits for the cut multiplayer mode

You can see that we have fairly long gaps between our developer blogs, because we prefer including lengthy update posts which we can take our time to work on rather than repeatedly releasing less substantial updates

We wouldn't stop development without an official announcement

Because we have an English version for English speakers (https://www.moddb.com/mods/catharsis-reborn/news/an-update-on-the-distribution-of-postal-3) and a Russian version for Russian speakers, I thought that was obvious

Anyone who wanted an English translation would just read the English version

That's not true, the source code is not in Russian, but there are already teams working on revisiting Postal 3 unofficially

RWS absolutely hate the game, so they're not going to officially sponsor projects related to P3

It's not impossible, it's just that the Laserpen is used for guiding companions and cats aren't used as companions, having the Laserpen work as a kind of alternate catnip would make its inconsistent and potentially confusing for players, so it would only make sense to add if we made the cats into companions, which isn't planned at least for now

As for realism, this is a series where snorting catnip can slow down time like the Matrix, it's fine for us to be unrealistic

We won't be speculating on release dates unless we have a date we're fully confident we can fulfil

Also, as mentioned in our previous devblog (Devblog 5) we'll likely go through a closed testing period before opening up to a public release, and how long that could take could vary depending on tester feedback

Yeah, we have a budget of exactly $0 and ¢0 so our project is purely volunteer based, because of that our team members can't be expected to work to a consistent schedule or place the project above more important things like education or paid jobs

As a result a task you expect to take a month could instead take 2 months or 3 if the person responsible for it has less free time, and if they happen to have more time it could instead take a week or 2, this means we have to plan around guesswork on when things can be worked on and with so many tasks to do it piles up, other projects like Postal 3 Unreal been in development for extremely long periods for similar reasons

But even with these factors, you can see by reading our devblogs how much we've been able to do, and we hope to keep up that substantial progress, thanks for your interest!

Currently this isn't planned because Cats don't act as companions in the way that recruited Dogs (or Motorhead) do

They essentially act as a more advanced throwable weapon and so guiding them with the laserpen wouldn't fit their role

Turning the Cats into a companion type like the Dogs would require redesigns that likely wouldn't be worth the time investment

Yes it is, CR continues on from P2 and Apocalypse Weekend, future titles in the series (eg. Paradise Lost, POSTAL 4) are not canon

Thank you very much for your kind words, and thanks for taking the time to read the blog to the end!

We've put a lot of work into optimisation, both in terms of ensuring good frame rates (including on low end PCs) and fixing crashes

You're welcome, thank you for your interest!

Just remember his appearances in Apocalypse Weekend, Gary always comes back!

No and it won't be because I don't care what Michale wants

The economy isn't kind in the post apocalypse...

No

Yes they are, we decided on the 2D art because it's just easier to work with, SFM cutscenes take our animators weeks or even months to finish, which is just too long to make good progress, the art ones take only a few days

We had all the material from the leaks before they actually went public, so we've already been using them for a while

Sounds about right.

As Kenny said it's possible to do and we did manage to add it, but it was pretty buggy. If we put it in the game not only would we have to do a bunch of fixing but we would also have to redesign all of the maps to make sure you can't use jumping to get into areas you aren't meant to, it's just not worth working on when we have so much more stuff to worry about.

Yes

No there isn't a release date, we're currently focusing on the Demo for the mod. It also isn't standalone, it will need P3 to play.

Okay folks, so it turns out the 4th CR Demo trailer was never actually uploaded to this ModDB page even though it's been up for a while, I've put it on there now for all your viewing pleasure, sorry for not remembering to put it there before.

You can't, it isn't finished.

We have the Badger Saw, and adding new weapons is something we're looking into. So a Chainsaw might happen!

Well, hey. I didn't post it, so sue me. Your appreciation is appreciated.

Sorry for the (almost a year) late reply, I haven't been posting on this page until recently. Anyway, updates will usually come from our Twitter and Discord pages, so check those out to get a good idea on what we're up to. We're far from dead!

Well, we've always tried to base the mod on the older versions of P3. So hey, we must be doing something right!
