All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hello again, recently I have been working on the backend and small details in the game. This includes reworking the entire audio system to work with FMOD and Steam Audio. With these changes, many things in the game had to be done from scratch which delayed some gameplay improvements. I will now shift focus onto gameplay and replayability to make up for this update's focus. Thanks and hope you enjoy the changes!

  • Made additions to the Tutorial
  • Reverted Tuna Can texture to original
  • Highlight shader effect changed
  • Wall hiding ammo crate added to your bunker

Fixes

  • Loot tooltip now shows correct closing keys

Thanks for playing!
