We are pleased to announce that we have begun to implement steam achievements into Jesus Strikes Back 2: The Resurrection. We have added in 12 with our most recent update, however we will be adding in more as development progresses. The update is now live. There have also been a few minor bug fixes and tweaks.

We will be releasing a larger update before the end of this month, introducing new playable characters, enemies, and locations. If you have any suggestions for new characters/enemies, feel free to post them in the pinned official suggestions thread in the steam discussions!

An unexpected update to fix some bugs that were still present after our most recent patch:

• Fixed completed missions not cashing out if several have been completed
  
• You can now accept multiple missions at once at the contract boards instead of one at a time
  
• Added crocodiles that spawn alongside the Lake of Tolerance leading up to Pink Hair Bridge
  
• fixed some enemies/NPCs playing the wrong audio clips
  
• Fixed female fugitives missions not registering as complete
  
• Fixed mission title names scaling issue in the missions menu
  
• Fixed a graphical glitch with the contract boards
  
• Fixed the Straight Male Graveyard positioning and floating tombstone bugs
  
• Repositioned combat overlay HUD so it does not overlap with the current mission UI
  
• Fixed campsite crates and barrels being empty of loot

We've released another new patch, and as always we'll keep this post quick and to the point explaining all the new changes:

• Improved unarmed combat - new attack animations, better accuracy, control, and speed for all melee attacks
  
• Added a small settlement around the first tavern you come across ("the Butchered B**th*le"), introducing a new stable and horse salesman, a new gun store, and a few houses for the occupying Chads and Stacies.
  
• Moved the starting equipment crate to right outside the entrance of the tomb of resurrection as many have missed it
  
• Changed the look of Manlet enemies
  
• Fixed a bug which caused many unlooted crates and barrels to be empty
  
• Fixed ISIS soldiers not detecting sounds

• Fixed a glitch where bullets were not dealing damage inside some taverns
  
• Fixed a hole in Club Rainbow
  
• Improved the textures on the MP40

We've released a new patch, and we'll keep this post quick and to the point explaining all the new changes:;

We're proud to announce our first game update for Jesus Strikes Back 2: The Resurrection. Although a relatively small patch, this fixes many bugs and features improved optimization which will see a potential significant boost in frame rate for most players. Testing the initial version of JSB2TR on a pretty basic entry level gaming PC (8gb ram, nvidia gtx 1650 4gb, i5-2400 CPU @ 3.10GHz (4 CPUs)) saw an average of 25-30fps, whereas this newest patch attained an average FPS of around 45 and always stayed above 30. While optimization is still not entirely complete, this new patch will ensure the current build runs more smoother and "good" gaming PCs should easily achieve a solid 60 FPS.

Other fixes:

• Fixed multiple widescreen UI scaling issues
  
• Improved the world map visual and use
  
• Changed some weapon SFX so .22 pistols no longer sounds like .12 guage shotguns
  
• Fixed the tactitcal shotgun using the wrong ammunition
  
• Fixed whistling sound being played every time the up d-pad was used on a controller on menus
  
• fixed a visual bug where the tactical headgaurd equipped on Pootin clipped through his head
  
• Helicopters move slower and are easier to escape from
  
• Fixed some wild animals (jaguar, tiger, lion and hyenas) dealing no damage to the player
  
• Various other minor bugs such as floating rocks, lampposts, etc

We'll be releasing another update in the coming days and future updates following as we work towards leaving early access and launching our official version 1.0 release. Please continue to report bugs/issues so we can fix them in time for future patches.

You may need to uninstall and reinstall JSB2TR via steam if you're not prompted to do so. You can check your version number at the bottom right of the in-game main menu.

Hello Gamers!

Jesus Strikes Back 2: The Resurrection officially entered early access just under two days ago now (at the time of writing), and so firstly we would like to say thanks to all those who have purchased and played JSB2TR, and thanks to those who've given us feedback and/or bug reports also!

It goes without saying that there is still a lot of work that needs to be done before we'll consider JSB2TR "finished" and leave early access. We're currently working on the next update and it should be ready by mid next week. Although there is a lot of content already implemented in terms of areas to explore, enemies and weapon variety, missions etc, we'll be focusing on improving these already existing features, and of course implementing some new features altogether. A new feature we're working on will include the ability to interact with non-hostile NPCs such as stacies, chads, frogs etc through dialogue options.

Another issue at this time is game optimization. As of now it is possible to obtain anywhere between 25-45fps on a mid-range gaming PC by tweaking the in game graphics settings. Depending on your system there may still be some occasional jitters when a lot may be going on screen. Better machines probably won't have much of an issue, but regardless, optimization is still on the top of our list so JSB2TR can run smoothly on a wider range of machines.

We'll also be fixing a few reported bugs in the next update which include:

• Horse whistling/call still playing on the menu if you use d-pad (FIXED)
  
• Helicopters undetectable sometimes if they are directly above you (FIXED)
  
• Player sometimes falling through the ground if you leave the game paused for a long time (FIXED)
  
• Tactical shotgun using .12 gauge ammo even though it says it's meant to use .10 gauge (FIXED)
  
• A bug that occur when the character is over encumbered and may still keep moving forward even though movement is locked (FIXED)
  
• Tactical head guard equipped on Pootin not placed on head properly (FIXED)

If you come across any other bugs - no matter how small - please do report them so we can have them fixed. Comment them below, post them in the discussion, or contact us through our website (http://www.2gen.pro) and let us know!
