Ɛ>******* WELCOME READ-ME *******<3
🕑 Added 2021-07-11 16:28:15 +0000 UTCHello everyone, here's some basic information to get you started with BEWARE:
First, you can download v006/v006VR and Region 7/9, this will give you a glimpse of some of the gameplay that will be in the full game.
At this moment, v006, v006VR offer the most gameplay in terms of missions and car-chase action. Consider reading posts from v002 to v006, to get informed about how to access them.
I've also recorded some drivethrough videos should you need any help: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0ldnTtweJzS3afFfWnKTlPtliHbz0oyF
In the start menu (v006 & v006 VR), you can press "r", which will display 2 additional progress savepoints. For loading one of those, click once on the desired savepoint, then click once on "Play".
[NEW!] Additionaly you can download v014/v014VR which showcases the complete map, enhanced graphics, new car physics with controller & ffb wheel support.
Thank you for your vital support!!
Ondrej

So does anything newer than 006 not have all the missions?

Hello Ondrej! I've been supporting this game through your Patreon for a few months now and it's been really interesting seeing the progress of the development! I cannot wait for the full release as I'm sure it will be quite spectacular. That being said, I'll have to end my subscription for at least a while as I'm trying to save money as a student. It's been a pleasure supporting this game and I look forward to more improvements and polishments later down the line! I wish you all the best and good luck developing this amazing unique game! Greetings from Finland!

Hey, I am interested in versions 0.12 and 0.11 but the download links are broken. Is there any other way to download it?
Pixintendo
Hi. I uploaded an unofficial mod version for 014c. It's basically a graphics optimization mod, but it also includes "Exit Game" and "Restart Map" buttons. If you want to try it, just search for my YouTube channel, with the same name as the one I use on Patreon. There, in the latest Beware video, you'll find a link to the mod in the description. Btw, in the default version, you can exit with Alt + F4.

Hello, I've been keeping an eye to this game for some years, and recently (with a new pc and some money in my pocket) I decided to join patreon and try the game myself. I love the atmosphere and the gameplay. It's great! I have a possibly dumb question. How can I exit the game?? I press P and I only see game options, but not an Exit to menu or Exit game button ¿? Thanks for your hard work Ondrej!

Hello. I am returning to this game after a couple of months, will there be a comprehensive guide on what is in each version of the game (as one of the comments above describes), or am I fine with v013St and don't have to download any other version bc it contains everything I'd wish for (full map, death, etc.)?
Andrea Orioli
Thanks for the detailed explanation, it's all very clear now :)
Pixintendo
This might be a bit confusing for a newbie at first, but I'll explain. The older versions (those released before v011) were made on a much older version of Unity, and these older individual versions did indeed contain gameplay elements and missions. In fact, v007 is the one that contains the most gameplay elements in a single version. This version contains a more expanded version of the map that was also available in the demo version, but it's still not the full map, which is only available from v011. The point is, if you really want to experience most of the gameplay elements, then it's worth starting with v007. After that, there are separate editions that contain only a small part of the full map, like v008, or the two separate editions after that, like the Refinery Region (which is basically a maze-like level), or the Last Region (which will probably be the final region in the full version of the game). Unfortunately, I don't know if all of these older versions are still available (i.e. if the links still work), but if you want to test the latest graphics and physics, v013d is definitely recommended. Yes, it is indeed still a test version, because starting with v011 Ondrej completely ported the game to a newer Unity version, and there was a huge break in the game's development, because he had to re-implement or improve a lot of things. What you see in the versions after v011 already demonstrate the appearance of the final game (like the graphics, atmosphere, enemy car models, etc.). But remember that v013d is still very much a test version, there are only two enemy cars that follow you, and there is still no death in the game. In v014 (which was originally supposed to be released in December, but is delayed as usual) hopefully many old game elements will return, and maybe even a few extras.
Andrea Orioli
Hello, is this post still relevant? What i mean is, is v006 still the most complete in terms of gameplay features? or does v013 also includes all the current gameplay features? Yesterday i've tried both v013VR and v006VR but i can't tell which one is more feature complete, in 006 i've found multiple car chases and a bus, while 013 felt a bit emptier after the first car chase.
Konrad Fletcher
The Guardian did a profile on him about 8 years ago. The article is old, but he does talk about his inspiration, though I'm sure a lot has changed since. It's linked in his twitter bio.
Pixintendo
In the second paragraph of the "About" tab, he briefly mentioned where his basic motivation came from. Btw, he doesn't often respond here these days, it would be better to try the new Community -> Chats tab.
BelievingEye
Ondrej I was wondering what made you want to make this game? did you have like a dream about being chased by people in cars, or was it something else, like from a movie scene, or do you like night time driving in a creepy environment with something following? I would love to know!
Holden Cross
All in due time. He will most definitely be adding music chases into a later version, but for now, he is focusing on other things. So yeah, the wait will be painful, but when the time comes, the game will absolutely amazing, even compared to the most exciting version 007.
Emineh
Ondrej if your not going to add music to the car chases please add music to the car chases
GalaticFIre
yes
Kei Sigsegv
Yo Buddy... Still alive?
Pixintendo
It would really be nice to hear something. At least one informative post about the current phase of the development and what caused the interruption or slowdown. :)
Sven
Hi, Ondrej. Any update? Would be nice to see something new or at least some info. :-)
Woodywaggoner
Thanks I’ll try to fix that
sol
same thing happened to me with a failed PSU. Stopped happening after.
sol
you dont have enough power to your GPU.
Woodywaggoner
i got the wheel to work, but my screen blacks out and my fans go full speed, ima try to clean it out and apply some more thermal paste, ill update soon.
Woodywaggoner
Is there any way to get a Thrust master t128p to work with the game? I tried but I couldnt figure out how to get it to work.
SilentOutcastNY
It feels impossible to lose the goons. They are always following me
Jay
Hey bro! Another driving game called Pacific North released and I'm trying to use it to get people to check out BEWARE! What's the progress?
therickman
Hello Ondrej, an end-of-year update would be great, if possible. Take care.
Aluaaa39
Hi Ondrej , I recently sub into your patreon and tried the most recent game and it's really fun and spooky at the same time
Pixintendo
Hello Ondrej, I hope everything is fine! So towards the end of the year, when the weather gets colder and foggier, I think about Beware too much. :D Just thought I'd ask what are the main things currently in development? I've seen these little animations on Twitter showing birds flying up, but I assume something else is developing in the background.
Bryson C Greene
You should definitely make the next update have more basic features like the chase music working, and also a map of the whole world would be really awesome that would give me a lot more incentive to get in the game and explore. Not gonna stop funding, keep up the work I love the game!!!
Salty, the Salt Shaker
I have to say farewell as well i mean im going to have to go cheaper on the funding side im not going to stop because you seem to be an amazing dev and are doing an amazing job... i cant wait to see this in full release
Ondrej Svadlena
No worries :) You already supported with > 30$, so in any case you'll get the full game upon release and you still can access the upcoming patreon updates - just send me a private message and I'll send you the liks. O)
Ondrej Svadlena
Hey Nigel, no worries at all! You've already supported BEWARE a ton :) And yes, life got expensive here too - food & petrol almost double here... Best wishes to you, Ondrej
bjorn van de walle
Hi. I also stop funding you at the moment. until I see some updates again I will come back to support your work.
frajerc1na XD
Unfortunately, I will have to do the same thing. I hope you will relaese this game soon, considering how much work and time effort you have put in it. I also started following you from 2018. But joined quite late in the terms of a patreon membership. Once again, I hope everything goes well, and I hope to see this great game come out one day. Until then, goodbye.
Nigel Russell
if you get this i need to pull out for the time being things are getting so expensive here for now but i hope the game works out ok..if things get cheaper ill re support you but for the time being i have to move out ( been its fun been around here since 2018 hope all goes well) love you man hope all goes well.
Nigel Russell
yea im sorry to do this to you i need to remove myself from patreon having money issues here things are way to expensive at the min but i hope the game works out ok ill keep and eye out im what's going but i need to revoke money on patreon sorry man. if thing get better ill re support you ok
GalaticFIre
i think he is updating them
GalaticFIre
i think he is updateing it
Serge Nikolaev
why there is no music in chases?
Tanner Hepp
For some reason it won't update each month I'm stuck on v001 and I want v002 and 3 and 4 and so on.
Pixintendo
I used to play a lot with v007 as it has the biggest map and events before v011. Although, as I saw in some posts, Ondrej used to recommend v006 as well.
Lunaberry
what is the best version to play on with the most gameplay but still car chases
Pixintendo
V011 has no enemies and no chase music. In v012, two enemy cars are chasing you, but there is still no music.
Joseph Coffey
Either i'm an idiot or i just cant download things, but when i do i get no chases or music at all.
jackson karam
Hello! I had an idea. for your earlier concept drawings of farm equipment and AI, maybe you could have them spewing a large effect polluting black smoke as they chase you. It could add to the intense polluted feel of the game.
frajerc1na XD
Question - I know its hard to say as of right now. But what is your goal year to release the game?
Ondrej Svadlena
"Last Region" is included in v011 & v012
Roman Vařeka
There is not Prague? (Last Region)
Ondrej Svadlena
Content-wise, I'd recommend v006, v008 Preview & region 7/9. v012 has the complete map and now enemies too.
Rune
Question is this current update encompass all of the other map aspects from previous updates? Or would i need to get all the parts.
Ondrej Svadlena
I understand the current driving-related progress may feel somewhat boring but these are necessary basic building blocks. Even in my most surreal short films, I always started by building the world and overcoming animation-related technical issues before populating it with content and story. It's similar here - so yes, the rabbits and other surreal elements will be back. Right now, with the full map and basic enemy behavior done I can finally start imagining how everything will fit together and how to convey the story using additional metaphors and symbols.
Sven
Weeeeeeee! :-)
Matti Jokipii
What's the vision for this game. I loved the surrealistic vibe of the early demos - with the rabbits and all the crazy stuff. Where is this going? The last year's been much about driving mechanics and all that kind of stuff. I don't care about that. If i want a rally game there are plenty already. I want the surreal insane scary stuff. The disturbing drive-in movie was the reason i started supporting this project. It's been several years now. Should i be continuing my support?
Ondrej Svadlena
I was aiming at releasing v012 today. Almost there - it's a matter of days now :)
Sven
Hi. Any update? Would bei nice.
jackson
don't know if it's possible but could you make a version that runs on chrome os, because i have a acer gaming chromebook and i would like to play on here.
Adam Lovelace
any chance this get on steam (under early access?) anytime with in next year or so? thanks!
Adam Lovelace
wish we could add real cars in game (licensing i know ;( butstill love this
Pixintendo
It might be unusual at first because it was different in older versions, but after playing for a long time, I easily adapted to the new physics. Now when I rarely go back to older versions it's very unusual and frustrating, both the harsh sounds and the physics, so there's nothing wrong with that new engine. What I have noticed is that if I want a similar experience as in the older versions, I have to set the Steer Assist to the maximum value, 1 . Oh, and if you don't have a lot of FPS, it's worth turning on the Low Latency Mode to the ultra value, NVIDIA has this, I don't know if it exists for AMD and Intel. It will be much easier to steer, because the game reacts earlier to pressing the key.

Ondrej Svadlena
Hello, thank you for asking. All good here and I shouldn't have written July... I'll be posting info about what I've been working on shortly :)
Pixintendo
Hali, jó látni hogy magyar is van itt. :) A projekt szerintem nem halott, csak ha jól tudom (akkor még nem voltam patreon tag), a közelmúltban voltak magánéleti/megélhetési nehézségei, ezt visszamenőleg egy posztban láttam, de nem akarok hülyeséget mondani. Másrészt, egy hatalmas projekt ez egy embernek, és újabban pangás van, viszont ha feladta volna, akkor a 011 -es verziót nem portolta volna át újabb Unity engine -re. Mivel itt már egy 144km2 -es scene -ről van szó (valamennyire próbálgattam már az Unity -t, de csak annyit, hogy átlássam, hogy mennyire komplex lehet az ő projektje kb.), ezt brutálisan lassú lehet fejleszteni.
Norbert Szabó
Pixintendo
Hi Ondrej, how are you? How is version 012 going? Now I think that something more serious has happened, because July has long passed.
Zane
Do you have an ETA on that build or is it still a way out?
Ondrej Svadlena
Yes, they're all individual, so you can play one after another. Currently stitching everything together into one big build.
Pixintendo
You have to manage each version separately, so in a separate folder.
ShadowLegionnaire
Hello, is there some kind of installation guide I could use? I don't know if I should play 006, 007, etc. individually or if I put them together in one folder...
Nigel Russell
yea i have no idea were he is at the min
Jay
Glad that IGP featured this! Needs more visibility.
Typong Elameto
seen igp play this.. you've peaked my interest sir
Rune
Yeah just joined myself looking for a download link as well
Kevin Lewis
Hello, Just sucribed, can you upload the download link again ? please ? Or maybe someone have it ?
Nigel Russell
just an update he is ok..had an email from him not to long ago. man i wish this crap would end with Ukraine its unfair.
Conner Earl Williams
Hey boss, links expired again
Nigel Russell
i did send you an email but i dont know if its the right one
Nigel Russell
with all the crap that is going on in the world i hope you are ok
Sven
Happy to see that you are okay. Hope your sense of smell returns back soon.
Nigel Russell
why does your game have to be so addictive
Nigel Russell
hopefully you'll get your smell back
Nigel Russell
nice one man
Nigel Russell
nice one
Ondrej Svadlena
Thanks, all good now! Fully recovered, except sense of smell... Now finishing work on v011 :)
Nigel Russell
hope all is well man
Jean-Luc Picard
Can you find an alternative to Wetransfer, they are unreliable.
JustSomeSlugcat
Thank you very much
Ondrej Svadlena
Have been thinking about alternatives - possibly soon as the new updates will be > 2Gb. If you want to re-visit older versions I've refreshed links for v002, v003c, v004 and v005 :)
JustSomeSlugcat
Hi, I noticed alot of your old files tend to expire after a while, and people keep asking you to refresh the links everytime. I was wondering if you had considered putting them on Google Drive? I've seen a lot of projects made available through that and I don't think they've had any trouble with expired files. It's possible you already decided against doing that so sorry if thats the case. Also I'm not entirely sure but I think there's ways to limit who can access the files if that was the biggest problem. Main reason I ask is because I was interested to play each release one after the other to see how the development progressed, and I felt bad asking you to refresh each upload separately :|
greg
Thank you!
Ondrej Svadlena
Sorry about that. Links refreshed! :)
greg
Hey i hope you are doing well, the download links in previous posts do not seem to be working for me. It says "Sorry, this transfer has expired and is not available any more". Could you please check them? Thanks
Nigel Russell
if you are talking about me ..im in the UK
Nigel Russell
you better not die on me lol
Ondrej Svadlena
Just published a post with info - also some specific to VR :)
Ondrej Svadlena
Thanks Nigel, I ok and hope you too. Just posted some info about the upcoming v011 :)
Goulevitch
where are you ?
Nigel Russell
any updates dude ? hope you are still ok man
Hoshi82
Heya. Any updates on the progress and the vr part? :)
therickman
Thanks a lot for this explanation!
Alberto Kohrs
You can't because currently each map is like a separate game.
therickman
Hello I have just joined. If I understand correctly, we can test maps separately but for the moment we cannot move from one map ( ex : v006 ) to another one within the same run ? If I misunderstood please help, thanks !
Nigel Russell
yay
Roman Vařeka
do dalsi verze dej jednoduchy rezim ktery by sel nastavit, myslim to tak aby jim bylo jednodusi utect, nebo rezim ktery by ty lidi co te honi vypnul, neumim to napsat anglicky
Matt K
Sure thing, I sent you a DM with a bit of info.
Ondrej Svadlena
I feel honored Mathieu! Where do you teach, if you don't mind me asking?
Codee Cantin
Had an old BEWARE_v000 download from 2018. Sub for one month $7 to get your recent work. Can't wait for the finished product.
Hebusletroll
Dear Sir, can you update the dead links ? Best regards.
Matt K
I've been using Beware as an example of a 1 person indie team development for my video game classes. Also as a reference for its quite specific artistic direction. The initial image of headlights reflecting off wet pavement through your rear view mirror is quite striking and unique.
Mr. Metzger
Played the first versions months (years?) ago and really loved the atmosphere as well as the challenging driving (which of course contributes to the tense atmo). Then the game slipped off my radar, so I am really glad to have read about the recent update and its accompanying teaser trailer, leading me to this Patreon. The automated vehicles shown in the teaser look and sound really awesome, neat design :-) Read through all the posts and must say it's great to see you always kept at it despite various challenges! Now, I am looking forward to diving into this dark and grim world again. I just hope I can re-adapt to not having a co-driver giving me directions all the time ;-)
Nigel Russell
i think i have more then 500 hours playing beware up to yet.
Nigel Russell
thanks man
Jan Pražák
this is really helpful, thank u! :)
