Mission summary

In light of last weekend's successful community event we decided to make a small update that addressed some of all the feedback we received.

The main highlight is the ability to switch teams during a short countdown on each map, just before the round begins. This makes it easier to setup the desired teams before a round commences.

The teams will be remembered from map to map. We also made some improvements to the spawning on each map and fixed the collision problems with the marine on steps and objects on Arch. Other improvements include better names over head, skippable ODD warning and squashing of old weapon/ammo bugs.

As always, please give us your unfiltered feedback and suggestions in the

I don't think so until Unity supports Linux, I too have been waiting for this. Oh, there is Unity to Flash converter now, I think we're good to go!

I'll admit I'm excited to see the whole thing all finished completely though I have similar thoughts as a few of the others, we've seen very little in aspects regarding levels and such.
Since this is an Indie game I have hopes it'll be great compared to the crap the large companies and corporations pop out.
Which means I pray the 'gameplay' is just as awesome as the graphics, if it isn't... that would be extremely disappointing.

Sorry to say that, I tend to but have lost faith in this, as there is only little progress showen, I Mean vault, the range and running man are cool, but still there is no video or picture showing any levels, enemies or weapons that weren't in the first trailer. I think that it would be better if you end up making a vlog every week, like the guys from wolfire games (overgrowth) do it, showing there progress week by week.

Yeah, this is screaming "vaporware" all over the place.
There are developers who make entire games just in the time they let pass between updates... And they are supposed to work full time on this.

Surely doesn't look like just another shooter, the atmosphere is immerse and is unlike anything ever seen in a game. Sure we've all been in a Spacecraft, but this is the darkest and most interesting of them all. Definitely watching this one until release.

What fascinates me about this game is not the game itself, but the way that it's marketed. I'd say that's a masterpiece of business development and community management. A really interesting approach to crowdfunding with small snippets to hype up the user base.
That's what I love about the Indie community: this is where innovation comes from, where people are flexible enough to adapt to new market situations.
