For the next weeks we will go on reworking animations (we are about at 60% of the FPS animations rework, soon we'll start with TPS ones as well), and we will keep working into fixing bugs and adding more features from your suggestions.

We are also going on with Normandy DLC, currently we are finalizing the buildings and the map for the campaign. We already completed around 20 new vehicles that will be included in the DLC, along with various uniforms and some new weapons.
The DLC should be ready in May, but we are considering releasing it the 6th of June for obvious reasons ;)

In case you didn't know we have defined a precise roadmap for the next months of development and you can read it here.

We keep improving all features of the base game and as always we will be going on listening to suggestions from people inside the Steam Discussions and the Discord server.

The updates for the base game we are constantly releasing are very expansive, so if you are interested on giving us a hand to make a better work, this is our Patreon. All the money raised from this will be spent to make a better game.


Thank you all,
Marco

Currently we have most of the map ready, most of the buildings placed (they still are to be finished tho), some new vehicles ready, some new features like the rope feature for pointe du hoc almost ready, and we already have placeholders ready for 10 new missions (probably the DLC will have at least 16 missions in total)

Here's some preview of them (but we recommend trying them directly into the game now!)

Hi everyone,

After many requests we have completly redone the game map visualization system to allow using mini map in game while moving around and with the ability to display more informations regarding the status of the battles, the units, the ammo refill points and so on.
The new system creates a 2d visualization of maps (even workshop maps) in 4 different styles that you can choose from your pause settings.


So here's the changelogs for this patch.

New features:
•Complete rework of mini map (M). Now map is much more detailed, more usefull, and easier to use.
•Many icons and symbols have been reworked.
Fixes:
•Various other smaller fixes from Feedbacks and Suggestions on Discord.


We are doing huge progresses with new animations, I can't wait to show something more very soon.

Thank you all,
Marco.
