A new cheese puff flavor is on the scene: Best Buds Blueberry. “Ew, blueberry cheese puffs?” Well it turns out spiders have less discerning palettes. Get one to chow down and they’ll become your new BFF. These Spider Bros know your heart’s desire and will mercilessly pursue any spider they see. And don’t worry - if you tire of your spider army you can always relieve them of duty...permanently.
The next item you’ll find in the new mission is the Drone. This was added during the “Omega Files” update last year and available during the epilogue mission, once you completed enough Arachno-Gauntlets. It’s so much fun, though, I’ve decided to move it to earlier in the game. You’re also gonna need it during the new mission to find everything…
All that lawn and nobody home to mow - it would be neighborly to “borrow” their Mower and tidy up. If some spiders get in the way...well, isn’t there an old saying about throwing rocks at birds? This isn’t your grandpa’s old push mower - you’re getting a riding lawnmower with serious horsepower. Still not enough speed? Equip the NOS upgrade to go fast and make the spiders furious. Once you’re done mowing the lawn, take her for a spin in the other missions!
Anything else new? Duh!
Casey Donnellan
Next, let’s talk equipment. There are two new weapons added in the update. The first is the vacuum. You can use the vacuum to “suck up” just about anything laying around, including spiders. Then you can switch the vacuums direction and shoot it all back out. You can find the vacuum in “Domestic Duties”, appropriately enough.
The second new weapon is a remote-controlled drone with a bomb strapped to it. While you’re flying the drone, use its thermal vision camera to locate spiders, then swoop in and self-destruct. The drone is available in “Consequences”.
Are you terrified of spiders? If so, I have good news. Kill It With Fire now features special options for people with arachnophobia. Simply open the settings menu (from the main menu or in-game) and customize the options to your liking. You can disable “scary spiders” to make them look more blobby and less spider-like as well as disable their SFX, the jumpscare sounds, and creepy music. Please let me know whether or not these settings helped you to enjoy the game! Are there any other settings you’d like to see? Accessibility is always an ongoing conversation and this is just a first step!
Next up is a new type of spider I like to call the “supplyder”. It’s basically a spider with a supply crate strapped to its back. When you damage the spider, the crate breaks open and ammo pops out. Neat, huh? You’ll start encountering supplyders in “Domestic Duties”, so keep your eyes peeled!
First, let's talk about that music! Kill It With Fire's soundtrack was composed by the incredible Trevor Whitaker Black. The game would NOT be the same without his music. Honestly, I think a lot of people are surprised by how good it is. You're just expecting a silly game about killing spiders, but the sound really sucks you in. 
Cara Curley did all of the game's excellent graphic design. That includes the equipment icons, the amazing portraits, the achievement icons, and a few other odds and ends. She insisted that her cat, Moose, be included in her portrait. Who am I to say otherwise? Here's to you, Cara! Make sure you follow her on Twitter: @IDrawCaraLines
Next up is Abe Robertson. Me and Abe go waaay back. We've worked on several games together and when I needed some extra help making the game look pretty, he was the first and only person I called. Abe did a little bit of everything on KIWF - he worked on lighting, visual effects, the skyboxes, special materials, and more. His biggest contribution, however, is the cinematic that plays when you beat the game...but you'll need to wait until August 13th to see that.
I did most of the SFX for Kill It With Fire myself, but I knew there was one area where it would be wise to call in the professionals: the spiders. I hired Kat Wenske and Zachary Woomer from Team Audio to create spider sounds that are guaranteed to stick with you long after finish playing the game. Each type of spider has a unique set of sounds, kinda like the special infected in L4D. Learn what they sound like and you'll never be surprised when one jumps at your face! Follow Kat on Twitter: @jelfish67.
Perhaps you've heard of a small publishing company called TinyBuild? Kill It With Fire got picked up by them back in February (before the dark times...) and the game wouldn't be where it is today without them! Represented here by their CEO, Alex Nichiporchik, they've been instrumental in promoting the game, localization, quality assurance, and tons of other stuff. Plus, they're just all around good people. Big thanks to Artem, Yulia, Andrei, Sunny, and the whole QA department. I wish I had portraits for all of you!
Thanks to everyone else who helped and supported me along the way. Bryan Lian created the model for the tracker and did a few of the portraits and Josh Guglielmo created the original logo and key art. Also, thanks to my beautiful wife Kathryn, our families, and my Little (through BBBS), Juan, who provided the shark art.
That leaves yours truly. I haven't really talked about myself much during these updates, but that's me, Casey Donnellan. This game was my vision and I've spent nearly every day for the past 10 months making it come to life. I've been making games professionally for 8 years, mostly working for larger companies (Certain Affinity, Rooster Teeth), but this is my first, big, solo project. Despite all the trouble in the world these days, it has been an amazing experience and I hope that Kill It With Fire does well enough to allow me to continue making games independently. If you'd like to keep in touch, follow me on Twitter: @caseydonnellan
Just say NOPE - Kill a Jumping Spider in mid-air.
That's All Folks - Kill a spider by dropping an anvil on it.
Line of Succession - Transform a Spiderling hatched from a Queen into a Queen.
MLG Pro - 360 no-scope a spider with the Assault Rifle
Sub-Par - Sink a putt.
Good luck with them, especially the dish achievement. You might need think outside the box to get it...
