Hello gamers! It’s been about two weeks since the last update, so I figured I’d give you all a bit of information about what’s going on. There’s some good news, and plenty of bad news. -- Let’s start off with the bad news and get it out of the way. Dropping the price of the game did next to nothing to boost the sales, and the game is back to selling two or three copies a day. Which isn’t really…

For a more comprehensive look at what’s in (and NOT in) the update, look at Situation Report 9 So, what’s next: Next, we need to wait for about a week. Thankfully the week coincides with a major (Americ…
Hello gamers! I lied! THIS is the last week of Final Rush development; and because of that it won’t be done in June. As it turns out, about %5 of the HUD ended up taking about %75 of the installation time. There were a few issues with getting a handful of small but important features working. Namely, there was a problem with the server browser list when there wasn’t enough entries in it (If the…
Hello gamers! If all goes well… this could possibly be the last week of development. We’ve been having some trouble getting the user interface fully integrated, but we have all the components, and the functionality is going in – bit by bit. So let’s take a bit of time to explain what’s going to be in the update. What can you expect, and what can you NOT expect, and why: Starting off with what y…
Hello gamers! The update is nearly finished. Yesterday we received the files for the main part of the HUD, as well as some revised Main Menu files that fixed some issues we were having. There is one last interface related piece we’re waiting on, and that’s the store interface (where you buy the weapons) with any luck we’ll get that in a day or two as well. As long as there aren’t any issues ins…
Hello gamers! The previous week was an eventful one. As mentioned in the previous situation report mentioned, we received the UI files.

The good news is, the files are actually being installed, and the game now has a functional interface. You can…
Hello gamers! Good news! We received the files for the brand new interface today (The main menu); which was one of the last major hurdles before the rerelease. The new interface completely redesigns and improves the main menu, allowing us to fully support a proper options menu, control reconfiguration, and of course, the necessary buttons for hosting and joining online multiplayer games. It’s a…
Hello gamers! Last week we completed the gameplay reprogramming. Which means that all that is left to do now is the user interface and some final polish.

The graphics for this are nearly done, and once they're complete we'll hook them up to code, so it actually…
Hello gamers! Well, shoot. It looks like some people are pretty mad about the bundle, and the lack of news on any updates. Well, I'm sorry. It's not that we've abandoned ship, or have been ignoring you. We've just been working really really hard. So, let's get down to business: Where the hell is the update? The answer is a resounding "It's coming". And -that- is exactly why there have not been…
Hello gamers! Many of you are probably wondering: "Where's my update? This game must be a rip-off!" I'm here to give you an update on the 'update situation'; I'm going to pull out the old tried and true Indie excuse "it was harder than we thought it would be!" The truth is, we've had a bad run of luck. It turns out our professionally made code was complete rubbish. We wanted to add multiplayer…
Hello gamers! This is the first of (hopefully) many situation reports, which we're putting out to keep you informed about what is going on with Final Rush!
