CARRION spreads onto PlayStation 5Apr 29, 2023 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35211428/9da317d1f56743c54374ea6fd7d220221fcdcae7.png : MUTATION ALERT! We failed to contain the PS4 samples of "CARRION" due to hostile actions of some individual who ignored all our safety precautions. The full spectrum of compromised consoles now consists of Xbox One/Series, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. Our initial analysis leads us to believe that the native PS5 version is even more contagious due to certain DualSense-specific mutations, so outmost caution is advised. : Haptics good. Controller roaring good. 4k/120fps good. All good. All safe. All free. Upgrade now.Illegally smol updateNov 6, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsAn update so smol it's actually illegal.

This day just ought to come. While we did our best trying to safely contain the creature on PC, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch, it swiftly managed to exploit a vulnerability we had never considered possible. There's a non-zero probability that downloading a video game called "CARRION" on your PS4/PS5 will allow the monster to creep in and consume your flesh and mind. Once you've noticed it, it will be too late. Your humanity is at stake. Please, stay vigilant! : Very good game. Very safe game. The creature is not real. Only very good game.

Yes, consuming the flesh of those that seek to imprison you is still #1, but spending time with beast family and a white elephant gift swap is a close #2.

Minor Workshop UpdatesOct 23, 2020 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35211428/ab1da9bcc4296c9ee65b8d3d4a35ec8d97f9ecb1.gif Some of you might have noticed that we have published several updates in a row over the last few days. They are mostly related to the Workshop, as we still occasionally stumble upon some minor issues and missing features that need to get fixed or implemented. Full changelog: Added: new Lua wrappers to expose sound and music API; Added: missing property setters in some types exposed to Lua; Fixed: inconsequential asset paths in the mods; Fixed: hot reload not working with user levels; Fixed: hard crashes happening in Lua wrappers not logging any meaningful error messages; Upgraded: SDL 2.0.10 to 2.0.12. That's all for now. Happy modding!Carrion Workshop Features - Open BetaOct 13, 2020 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35211428/ba13f0396fee37abccb1824f4c3bdf69bda017f5.png Gain early access to the new Steam Workshop integration and modding features by joining the following Steam group: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/carrion-workshop-tests  The new Carrion build is now available in the beta branch on Steam (no passphrase needed) and gets new updates frequently. The Workshop is now LIVE!  New features include: Streamlined and safer mod loading - each mod is a self-contained hermetic package stored in a single folder and doesn't require hacking/changing the base game's resources. When the game loads a mod, it prioritizes loading the mod's resources over the base game's ones, falling back to the original assets only if necessary. Save files stored separately for each mod allowing for fail-safe experimentation. In-game mod browser - subscribe to Workshop items or unzip the mods into a "UserContent" folder to make them visible in the game! User-Generated Content Toolkit shipped alongside the game's binary. Basic Lua integration - makes it possible to add new functionality or load extra assets (check out the Streaming Avatar mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2252217602). ...and more to come!

This map might helpAug 4, 2020 - PCGamesNAlien fleshbeasts are really good at flinging, creeping, bashing, and gnawing on the bones of hapless scientists. But as the formless biological horror in Carrion, it's easy to realise that The Thing doesn't have a great sense of direction - or an in-game map. It's easy to get lost in Carrion's caverns. What's a tentacled meat monster to do? One option is to use this handy map created by two Carrion fans working in collaboration. The first step was to map out the game, and that was accomplished by YouTuber Demajen. Demajen specialises in videogame map making, and while he enjoyed finding his way around in Carrion, he noticed that plenty of players posting on the Steam forums did not. Setting Carrion to run at 720p, Demajen used console commands to view Carrion in its "pristine" state. He then took screenshots of each room in the game, and then carefully pieced them together in Photoshop. That generated a massive, 462 megabyte file, which Redditor MrDrWho used to create an Adobe Acrobat file. This let MrDrWho link up the passageways that allow the Carrion monster to travel between areas in the indie game quickly, and the PDF file will zip you from one end of a tunnel to the other at the click of a mouse.
