Hi, everyone!
Steam Next Fest is here, and we’ve been hard at work making CleanFall even better. Thanks to your feedback, we’re rolling out exciting new features, weapons, and gameplay improvements.
🔹 New Feature: Quick Attack Button
It can be challenging navigating inventory slots. So we’ve designed a new, helpful tool. Just press R to instantly use your best consumable—no more scrolling in the middle of a fight! You’ll see the new feature in the bottom left hand corner of the game.
🔹 New Feature: Turret Physics and Mobile Base Building
Turrets now latch onto objects in the world with real-time physics. They’ll droop, pull, float, re-attach, etc. Creative players may even connect them to floating objects in the game, thereby creating mobile bases bristling with gun turrets! This opens up all kinds of tactical ideas.
🔹 Future Plans: Upgrade Machines, Chapter Progression and Advanced “Ship” Building
CleanFall is ultimately going to be three chapters in length. Each chapter will present wildly new biomes and creatures, requiring extraordinary tactics for survival.
Since replayability and roguelite depth is highly valued, the chapters are going to combine into a diverse, multi-faceted experience that rewards different builds and play styles. Character upgrade machines will become a part of all three chapters, allowing players to carefully curate abilities. Perks will continue to expand in fresh new ways. Exotic weapons and items will become more plentiful. The story will have astonishing twists and turns.
And, yes, “ship” building is going to play an important role in chapter 2. Not only will you have to build a war machine that can withstand brutal attacks, but you’re going to have to fly it into the deep—into what is known as “The Hollow” and “The Abyss.”
And, perhaps, your ship will be partially composed of nests… allowing you to use creatures to fight for you.
