v0.33.1 - Bug Fixes & Andover 1991 Scenario Added

2026-09-22

v0.33.1 brings some fixes to some recently added features and introduces the Andover tornado from April 26th 1991. I did an initial attempt during my live stream but I will add incremental improvements to it with time. I'm hoping to add the Pampa, TX 1995 tornado soon, but I will need to use synchronised video footage to triangulate the tornado's position since official survey data is quite sparse. Bug fixes: • The gap around the basement is fixed so you can't fall through the map into the infinite void anymore • Adjust vehicle lofting physics: the yellow truck will get lofted at about 150mph (with no upgrades) and the red truck will get lofted at 120mph • Trailers have colliders now so you can't just drive through them • Vegetation masks have been added to multiple procedural props so you shouldn't get grass growing through solar panels, house foundations etc. Enjoy! :)

Started out as one of the least realistic tornado games on Steam, and is now quickly shaping up to become one of the most realistic.

So I've had this game for a few years now and I was there for the original build and thoroughly enjoyed it. I thought it was fun with the layout of the map being varied with the towns, the terrain, the hills, etc. You could call warnings if you weren't near a town to warn them. You could max out your stats and just drive into the tornado without ever getting lifted. It was unrealistic sure, but it was fun. You could...

Really fun game!! Although, maybe add some invisible borders or a big tornado you cant escape when your outside the map.

Incredible storm chasing game. Better then OUTBRK. Developer deserves a million more people buying his game for how humble he is.
