[h2]Bug under investigation[/h2]

  • When you have enough knowledges to access "herding" weakness , you can't use pc action or reagant to chase the intruders back into vent and instead it got stuck.
    Has been checked, works well, more tests are needed to encounter the issue that players report.
  • Fix intruder attack cards, e.g.: Blood Chase sometimes trigger, sometimes just don't, even if the attacked escaping player clearly has undressed Serious Wounds.
    The code was checked, we did not find any rules that could cause the problem. More time and tests are needed.
  • Fix intruder attack cards, e.g.: Blood Chase sometimes trigger, sometimes just don't, even if the attacked escaping player clearly has undressed Serious Wounds.
    Here, the problem was found, but the place where it can be fixed is quite sensitive and may interfere with many elements in the game. At least 2-3 days of testing are needed to see if it works well and doesn't break anything.


[h2]Important announcement[/h2]

We've thoroughly analyzed all the crash reports you've submitted on Discord. Our findings revealed that these incidents were not crashes in the traditional sense but rather interruptions of the AWS spot instances on Steam. For clarity, spot instances are a cost-effective solution provided by AWS that allows us to bid on unused computing capacity at lower prices. However, the trade-off is that these instances can be reclaimed by AWS with very little notice, leading to the interruptions you've experienced. This approach has been vital in managing our budget constraints and continuing to deliver our game to you.

We recognize that many were not aware that these "crashes" were actually due to the termination of spot instances, a situation over which we, as the development team, have no control. Despite these challenges, we want to assure you that we're dedicated to improving how we communicate such incidents. With the latest update, we will introduce better notifications to inform players in real-time if their game session is at risk due to spot instance reclamation.
Additionally, as a gesture of our appreciation for your understanding and to acknowledge the unique challenges posed by these interruptions, we're introducing a special achievement: "Apocalypse Survivor" This achievement is not only a token of the extraordinary circumstances you've endured but also assists us in collecting crucial data to further analyze and potentially mitigate the impact of such interruptions in the future.

Please understand that, given our current budgetary limitations, we do not have the capacity to reduce the frequency of these spot instance interruptions. However, we are committed to making your gaming experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible within these constraints.
We're grateful for your patience and continued support as we navigate these challenges together. Your feedback is invaluable, and we remain committed to transparent communication and improving the game based on your insights.

Thank you for being such an integral part of our gaming community.

New language (Japanese) and recent news summary!

Hello Crew,

Or should we say, 「こんにちは、クルー」or "Witaj, załogo". Today's news post, after all, is mostly about the newest additions to Nemesis: Lockdown's localization database.

What we wanted to do is to highlight the recent big language additions to the game, as well as mention a brand new one - Japanese!

New translations


Recently, as you may already know, we implemented 4 new language options to the game: Chinese, German, French and Polish. Today, we're adding Japanese to the list. This makes the already impressive number of options even more so and we hope you enjoy playing the game in your native language!

[h3]Here's how the previous localization additions look in-game:[/h3]


[h3]And here's the newest translation - Japanese:[/h3]


What's even more awesome, is that the entire Japanese translation work has been done by 3 of the game's Japanese fans. These are:
  • Naoki Koike
  • Daisaku Uchida
  • Tomato Juice




Thank you all so much for volounteering to do this and doing such an amazing job with the translation! It means the world to us that there's such a dedicated fanbase.

Bugfixes - patch 1.0.0.6


Other than that, for this patch, we also managed to fix some minor bugs based on the reports by the translation team, as well as other players.

Recent changes


As a reminder, here's some cool stuff that's been added in the previous, June patch:
  • Updated ranking system
  • Added the Seasons system
  • Added the visual timeline
  • Updated animations


We've also started a mailing list! If you’d like to stay in touch with all our latest updates and info on all of our future projects, be sure to sign up!

Patch 1.0.0.5 - New languages update!

Hi Crew,

This is a crucial transmission. The newest update for Nemesis: Lockdown features a cargo full of new additions. Read on for a detailed description accompanied by graphic assets or scroll down to see a summary of this update.



[h2]New Languages[/h2]
Surviving isn't easy when you're on a space station filled with aliens crawling about, we know that. That's why with this patch, our main goal is to bring more survivors on board! In order to do so, we've added 4 new languages to the game! These are:
  • Chinese
  • German
  • Polish
  • French


[h2]Updated ranking system and seasons[/h2]
All recruits, both new and old, are in for a threat as well, because we've prepared an overhauled ranking system, which will be governed by seasons going forward. Each season will last one month and to make it easier to follow, we've also added a graphical representation in the form of a timeline. We feel that with this addition, the challenge of getting to the top of the rankings will be a one that's more demanding, but also more rewarding. Here's how the new system looks in the game:



[h2]Updated animations[/h2]
We thought that some of the animations were in need of a slight rework, and there are 2 in particular that we've reworked in this patch. These are:
- the vivisection animation
- the contamination card scanning animation
Here's a look at the first one - look how satisfying it now is to fire a laser on an unsuspecting intruder:



[h2]Patch summary[/h2]
Here's a TLDR version for all of you who prefer getting straight to the point:
[h3]New languages[/h3]
  • Chinese
  • German
  • Polish
  • French

[h3]New ranking system[/h3]
  • Season systems added
  • Visual timeline added

[h3]New animations[/h3]
  • Vivisection animation updated
  • Contamination card scanning animation updated


We wanted to thank you for the continued support and remind you to share your thoughts on the game in the Steam discussions. You're also invited to join our official Discord server - click on the banner below to join fellow recruits, find parties and chat about the game!



Have fun playing! Over and out.
