A huge update and pre-ordering has finally opened! news

Dear supporters and fans, The Final Stand is another step towards its alpha release!

We understand that this has been said before, but it must be understood that every drawback is 100% necessary. Rather than rushing a game, the TFS team strongly believes in releasing a fun multiplayer game. Perhaps it won’t be perfect, but we are doing our best to make it as enjoyable as possible.

We want a multiplayer experience unlike any other, a game that's fun, replayable and fun for hours on end.

Truth is game development takes time. We're not funded by anyone except a passionate team that works tirelessly on the game, using our own pocket money. We've refused to part take in any publishers, though we could easily get one; and that's because we want to make the game with our own creativity and passion. Not for the money, that's the last thing we do anything for, is money.

Now, we'd like to thank the fans for genuinely caring about the game. A lot of indie developers fall into the same hole: they fail to update the fans. And TFS is not exempt from this. That is our biggest mistake we do because we spend our time focusing on the development of the game rather than giving updates. We apologize for this, and more communication between the team and our fans is another change we are going to implement now.

Again, thank you for bearing with us. We, the team, would like to apologize for any inconvenience to anyone and we certainly hope that you stick around for future updates! We are planning on releasing weekly blurbs on features that have been finished and other new exciting developments that are happening.

Its your support that helps us keep going, and we’re so grateful to have you at our side. We'll also be pushing out updates much more consistently now, updating our forums more frequently, so come register and join the discussions!

The new estimated release date is between August and September - based on the support from the community.

We’ve added a number of new and exciting features. The crafting feature has been dramatically revamped. There are new, craftable boats, structures, even traps, clothing and armor, weapons and tools including a craftable ghillie suit:

Craftable Raft:

Craftable Traps:

New materials have been added to create these and make this feature much more intriguing as well as realistic. On top of this, our health/damage system is being fleshed out, and many new animations and models have been completed. There has been a ton of progress on our map as well.

Supply Drop Crate:

Some other awesome features are being worked on right now and will be announced very soon!

As mentioned before, you guys are the ones who keep us going. Which brings us to our next exciting announcement: the opening spot for pre-orders. Not only would this give you all a chance to try out The Final Stand, but it’d make way for a whole bunch of new features and a much faster development process!

All proceeds go towards making this game possible, meaning, if there are enough pre-launch orders, that pushes the release date to early August or even at the end of this month!

What does this pre-launch get you? Well, an exclusive forum title and earlier access to the pre-alpha before everyone else and at the lowest price - certainly, as the game gets closer to its final stages, the price rises, so 14.99 is a great deal. It even gives you access to the alpha, beta and the full launch of the game. What are you waiting for? Pre-order now:

While we’re at it, we’ll point you towards another exciting indie game called Arms Dealer - an exciting PC game centered around smuggling. Check it out, they’re great devs that care about making an awesome game like we do: Facebook.com.

A lot has been happening during these past few weeks and a lot of it is thanks to not only our dedicated team but the fan’s support. If things keep moving along as they have, we’ll very soon make it to the finish line together.

Again, thank you all for your support, we can’t wait to share this game with you! Don’t forget to spread the news about the pre-order of this game, any support will help us achieve launch faster with more game features!
