Hey gang! Another small content update, plus some news on community items which will be available sometime in the next few days! (hopefully)
v1.9.1 Update
Since the game was pretty close to beating the current Guinness world record for most playable characters in a video game in the previous update, I decided to go around and ask some people for their characters to bump up the number a bit, and I am proud to say that Solace Inc has finally beaten that milestone!
So uhh... yeah! Take that, obscure wrestling PS2 game!
I sent an application to Guinness World Records just for the hell of it, I doubt I'll hear back from them but it's worth a shot (honestly I don't really care about the record that much, this has mostly been a personal goal that I wanted to achieve with this game)
A lot of the new characters I've added in this update are cameos, some of them are characters that a few people might recognize...?
There's one cameo that I've omitted because I'm still waiting to hear back from a publisher to get their permission, I might put out a small patch that adds them in if they respond
I've also added in a few of my own characters, a certain subset of them have an interesting unlock method that might require some sleuthing and puzzle solving... I won't say much but I will say everything you need is in-game and I would recommend looking at the Synergies tab in the Directory
Also, for the 3 people that have the 18+ DLC I've added in a few bonus animations in the research tab, I haven't touched it in a while and figured I should add some extra stuff there
Community Items
Solace Inc was recently approved for community items (trading cards, badges, emotes, etc.), so I've been working on adding those in and getting them approved, they will be available some time in the very near future! (most likely in the next few days)
I was planning on releasing them alongside this update, but since they're still under review and Valve likes to take their time getting things approved (and will sometimes reject things over small details) I figured I'd just release them whenever they're ready so that I don't have to postpone this update, just wanted to give you guys a heads up in case you suddenly get some trading cards in your inventory
That's all, hope you guys enjoy! Feel free to send me a DM on discord (@aplove) if you have any issues/feedback
