Treason News

First update of the year and today the game turns one year old! Please share your feedback with us!

We got a brand new gun in stock today for you! Remington Model 81 is a powerful 5-round rifle, capable of quickly disposing of those pesky Traitors.



We've added a brand new Shield ability for the Detective and during Annihilation. It lasts t_shield_duration seconds (default: 5) and lets you take t_shield_damage_multiplier of damage (default: 70%) with a cooldown of t_shield_cooldown seconds (default: 20)



We've also re-arranged all of our abilities on the HUD to be a bit more convenient in combat, which means your old muscle memory will have to re-learn the bindings. Sorry for that!

We are back with the last update for this year! Please share your feedback with us!

First thing we introduced is Steam Rich Presence. Now whenever you see your friend playing Treason, you'll see what map they are playing and how many players they have on their server while also being able to join them by clicking RMB on them in friends' list and then "Join Game", as long as they are not playing on a LAN server.



Next big thing we added is a server creation UI. Initially we wanted to make a fully working lobby system with players being able to create their own lobbies with their own settings, but unfortunately it turned out to be impossible in our current situation so we decided to at least bring a common Source server creation UI to the game, although with a prettier layout, which functions almost the same to the lobby system, except you will still have to deal with port forwarding or using virtual LAN software.



And the last of our big changes is a change to pre-death state. Whenever you get killed with a live Doctor on the server, you enter a pre-death state with a brain icon that will slowly drain until you are rotten and can no longer be resuscitated by the Doctor, but it looked really wonky. So we made it look prettier by showing the player when they are being revived, by linking the view to your actual body and by making sure that you cannot die when you are being revived, so that last second Doctor arrival can still save you. We've also made it so that calling for help brings you slightly closer to death by t_pre_death_use_penalty seconds (default: 2), so that you cannot spam the help sound infinitely or you could skip pre-death state quickly if you want.
