UPDATE NOTE: To upgrade to the latest version, start the game and apply the patch when prompted on the main menu. It will update automatically
Next / Future updates
- Gym level
- Tutorial
- Fixing the score system. It's probably no secret that it's been broken for the last few versions). Since I shifted the mechanics to be more focused on not getting spotted, the current score system which emphases combos and speed isn't going to work
- More weapons: throwing knives, drill, chainsaw. High scores will unlock new weapons
0.2.7
Note: the costumes and doll mode only need to be unlocked once. You'll have access to all costumes and weapons if you unlock them and quit the game
- Opening Credits Sequence
- Lots of new video fomats and crt settings
- Radar showing you where to go when outside. I'm not sure if this will stay, or I'll upgrade to a full minimap down the line
- Fixed the slowdown issue which mostly effected the house levels
- You can change costumes in the costume menu by pressing Z. Try to collect them all
- Doll Mode: You can unlock doll mode by collecting all the dolls outside
- Major behind the scenes code changes. Rewrote a lot of character stuff to support costume changing and handle things correctly, plus implementing a better progress tracking system and major code restructuring to support some of the new features. Refactoring a lot of the quick and dirty code used for sake of hitting the deadline last month.
- Fixed the 'Caught' camera. It should be dynamically placed now and not clip the walls
- Lots of other small changes you probably won't notice, but I needed to do to move the project forward

0.2.6
- Cheat menu - you can skip to any level in the game. Press = to bring up the menu
- Added a double speed fast forward (press T)
- Subdivided Trees so they're more stable
- Police will enter their cars on the map
- The Police can now die
- The telephone poles have colliders now
- The nurse corpses no long wig out when you touch them
- You can't see through walls in first person
- dialogue size fixed in first person (it should be more readable now)
- reduced audio quality to be more like vhs
- fixed a bug in the patching system so the patches are actually applied to the game

0.2.5
- Patching! You should no long need to download full builds from patreon. Whenever you launch the game you'll be able to install the latest update
- Added a main menu
- Reduced the build size to under 300mb
- More fixes are coming after this but I first wanted to get the patching system functional

0.2.3
- Fixed a bug with the triggers not allowing you to enter the houses.
- In the next update I'm going to work on a patching system, so the full game no longer needs to be downloaded for every update. Patching is long overdue
0.2.2 - More fixes
- Fixed the weapon range and reliability in all levels
- Fasting Crouch Walking
- Camera Sensitivity and Smoothing Options
- Made Larry slight smaller so it's easier to maneuver
- Various level design improvements
- Victims can open the door to escape from the store
- Improved first person camera - larry's body doesn't glitch out when looking down
- Improved third person transparency - no long transparent when peaking around a corner
- Fixed the 'victims warping' glitch
- Bathroom doors no longer spin all the way around
0.2.1 - Bug fixes and improvements
- Slowed down the victim's run speed a bit. You should be able to chase them down easier now, but there will still be some challenge.
- You can stab the victims normally, even when they're crawling
- Fixed the police bug - they can catch you now
- Mouse works on the menu
- F2 can restart the level if you can't catch someone (don't need to wait for the caught cutscene)
After the big Blood Maniac update, I'll be taking a little break and finishing up that found footage game :)

But my main goal for February is actually the steam release for Stay out of the House
I'm also going to be doing a new collection next month called 'Unfinished Worlds' where I dump random unfinished projects and experiments so you can check out the art and screw around.

oliver dragt
update the game please you siad u woud add a gym please
oliver dragt
when are u updating the game
VERY fun, can't wait for full release.
I like the game but I'm finding it incredibly difficult to actually kill anything. The knife feels woefully underpowered, and everyone runs like Usain Bolt, so I've given up on playing it.
PUPPET COMBO
No you can not

Is there a way to drag corpses in this one?

just finished blood maniac without spotted once great game can't wait for more levels and i'm curious what is doll mode :) PS : what dog tell's you at the end ??? remind's me feed me billy ending :O also a good mechanic for this type of game is the distractions like cans on the floor to alert others or you to throw to make search what is that noise they hearing ;) also in my first play through i found a glitch on outside level when i go in car with first person some times the fog grow bigger and you cant see anything it happen only 1 time for me :)

Yes, it's at <a href="https://discord.gg/q2AN5n" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://discord.gg/q2AN5n</a> You should have an invite through patreon as well
hey me too buddy
having trouble running it on a Mac ):
Hey Puppet! (Mind if we call you Puppet?) Do you have a Discord for Patrons and stuff? Just curious.
PUPPET COMBO
Thank you!

Try the woods by the police station and the town
Wait till both of them just started to look in another direction. kill the one near santa dude first. use to struggle with that part too!
About Blood Maniac: In the supermarket i find the 2 last employers nearly impossible to kill because they run so fast into the small room where they can't be killed.
How do i switch weapons? Can't seem to find the axe ether. i have completed the demo and have all costume but i can't find the damn axe. i seem to be able to use the kitchen knife only.
I just beat the Blood Maniac demo and I absolutely love the concept for this game, I'm super excited to see more content. Amazing work as always Puppet Combo :)

That's strange. Thanks for letting me know. I did hear the patching was a bit wonky, but I think the latest version should improve it: 0.2.6. I separated the Read Me.txt into a separate file in the drive folder. Also added a few new controls - 'T' for super fast forward and '=' for level select.

Something odd happened with the updating feature. It deleted the startup and control instructions after I’d just updated the game. I managed to fix it just by replacing them but it’s something you should definitely look into. Thanks!
Zac Peachey
Thank you! Thank you! That patching system is what my limited internet desperately needed. Thanks!
PUPPET COMBO
Thanks! I'm working on a mouse sensitivity slider for the next update
PUPPET COMBO
Yeah, it appears everything with the police is broken right now. It's weird because I tested them right before the build. I'm trying to figure out what's wrong
Also I can't kill the cop. I kept getting points infinetly, but he wasn't arresting me.
PUPPET COMBO
Sorry, it is confusing. I've been meaning to but everything together on one page to make it easy to track which games are which. Main things I'm working on right now: 1. Blood Maniac, Texas Butcher, and Christmas Massacre are all the same game. You play as the slasher and kill everyone 2. The found footage game is a reworking of the map I built for Meat Cleaver Mutilator. 3. Stay out of the House - polishing it for a steam release. 4. Unfinished worlds #1 - not a game but I thought I'd put a few of the things that were experiments together as a download. There's no gameplay but it's kind of a look behind the scenes. Other unfinished games that will be coming back: Power Drill Massacre - aimming to release this one in october Planet of Bloodthirsty Santa - aimming for a Christmas Release Night Ripper Buzzsaw Bloodhouse Finished games: Power Drill Massacre Arcade Feed Me Billy Nun Massacre Spiders Babysitter Bloodbath
PUPPET COMBO
It appears to be a bug. I'm working on updating that and a few other things
I keep getting stuck when I get too close to the police car. Is this intentional?
I'm excited to try out the open world! This update was amazing! There is a lot of mouse acceleration for me which made it a bit difficult to play but other than that nice job!!
Zac Peachey
Can't wait to try the new update!!!! On a side note, can we get a status update for all the games currently in development? I've honestly lost track. Thanks!!!!
