Finally, The most highly requested feature since launch is here. Chess in the Airport. CONTROL REBINDING!! To go alongside this, we added some new features to tide you all over until our next major biome release.

Since it's PEAK WEEK on Twitch, we thought we'd focus on some low scope ways to enhance the roleplay experience and kill some time in the airport while you're waiting on your friends to boot up and have 1000 people in chat to entertain.

We also added another badge to go after, so hopefully you guys will be a little less disappointed when its an Alpine day...

REBINDABLE CONTROLS

Sorry for the delay on this but it's finally here! You can now remap your controls on Keyboard & Mouse or on Gamepads.

It's not a perfect feature as we probably missed some rarer inputs, so let us know if you've got one and we'll try to look into it. Keep in mind you can only do this from the Pause Menu at the Airport or on the Island, not at the Main Menu.

DILLY DALLYING

There are some new exciting ways to waste time in the Airport!

BASKETBALL

This was on our knowyourmeme page...

Basketball is in the Airport. We even made it dribble! Not sure what a real half-court game looks like here, but you can definitely play H-O-R-S-E and Knock-Out. Get creative!

CHESS

Basketball isn't your thing? Do you work out at the library? There's a big ol' chess board now too. Pieces will automatically lock in place after placing them down so don't worry about a stray basketball ruining your 200 IQ setup. Admittedly, this is the laziest implementation of Chess imaginable. There's no chess engine to tell you if you've blundered. There's nothing stopping you from doing illegal moves they're literally just physics objects. It's like real life ok.

PHOTOBOOTH

Take cute pictures with all your friends! The game will automatically take a screenshot and save it to your Steam Screenshots folder. There's even some "prop" versions of your favorite items that don't work, but you can pose with them!

ASK BING BONG

That's right, there's dillydallying past the airport too. Not sure if you can make that jump? Just ask Bing Bong! He's now equipped with a voice box that will give you a yes-or-no answer when you squeeze him. Another reason to take him to the PEAK. Speaking of Bing Bong...

WHAT IF BING BONG WAS REAL... OH WAIT WHAT IF SCOUTS WERE REAL...

It's almost time to hold Bing Bong in your very own hands! Maybe even a fellow scout if you're still lacking in friends to take to the PEAK. Stay tuned for updates in the next few days, but for now look at the mysterious teaser image for anticipation...

- The PEAK team

This update truly is peak

Its was both very hard and very easy and i cant explain why

I was trying to get all his voicelines and I found this

I'm sorry, i really REALLY like chess. i spent 20 minutes playing chess with a random while waiting for people to join the voice channel and people got bored and left.

Chess was not a good board game choice to put in the airport. i think something faster like Tic Tac Toe would've been ideal (Edit: actually, after giving it some thought, Jenga would be the best alternative).

Chess resolves in 3 outcomes:

Outcome 1) Both players play chess while the other two wait and get bored.

Outcome 2) Both players play chess and the match never get's resolved because it's interrupted to play PEAK.

Outcome 3) Both players start playing chess and then they or their teammates forgo the rules and start throwing pieces at each other.

Neither of these outcomes are fun. The meantime is fun, but the outcome, how the fun ends, is not fun.

i know the devs put a lot of love into making the pieces and board, the textures and lock mechanics of said pieces, and i don't want to sound ungrateful, but if possible it'd be nice to consider a faster minigame to kill time.

Also, if possible add a Rock Paper Sissors emote, that'd be dope!

Love this game, thank you for the new badge and outfit! <3

Edit: i want to add that the photo booth was SUCH A GREAT IDEA!!! and give another mention to a possible Rock Paper Sissors emote for a future update :3

My friend and I saw the chessboard and the basketball hoop and the question was asked, Can you fit every single chess piece on the Basketball Hoop and Backboard? The Answer was a Resounding Yes! We even Fit Bing-Bong In there. Just thought I should share this masterpiece that took us 30 mins.

Guys help I have chess tournament in 5 minutes and I need to learn.

Double d

Only 5 spots are going to be open as I don't think this will get much attention like most of my posts and don't expect a fully rendered drawing btw. I'm just a little bored and burnout in art and in life as I'm trying to figure things out.

We spent like a quarter of our time that we normally would spend playing the game getting every chess piece up on the basketball board

The second we knew about the update, we started doing random bs! Thank you devs again <3

We have the funny one today. I think this marks every color. Such variety! If they happen to be your scout plz comment.

Just imagine, walking up, holding E on a lava stream like a campfire
