A concerned player posted earlier asking if Containment Corps will still get updated, we responded and felt it was important enough to repost here. So here's the news!
The short answer is yes. We are in the middle of a huge update that will add a ton of stuff to the game!
New maps are in the works, (early screenshots should come soon are here!) and a ton of stuff has been tweaked and modified to make the game run better.
Rebindable controls and some features to make playing solo more doable, as well as a tutorial are also in the works, but are further behind then the new maps and the smaller changes we have been adding to the game.
Some insight into why things are taking so long; since we are a small team, responsibilities often overlap. For example, I am working on control rebinding, but I am also the designer and artist of one of the new levels (as well as our ui designer and artist!). Other members of the team also juggle a lot of different roles, and it can be hard to manage switching back and forth between all of it!
Since Containment Corps can't pay the bills for all five of us, we also never know when we might have to work extra shifts at our day jobs, and that makes it harder for us to figure out how much time any given feature might take. None of this is an excuse, just an explanation of the reality behind the curtain for anyone interested.
So we hope to have all of this out to you all soon, but even if we don't we should start posting weekly about our progress behind the scenes (with pictures!) just to show that we're still working and not dead!
