Contagion September Status and Discord for finding players!
(This update is old. I left the company back in Nov 2018. I wish you all the best of luck!)
Hey all! I hope you all had a great summer! Some of you may be wondering, we did end up releasing Contagion VR: Outbreak on June 29th and it was a crazy launch.
We had a Loyalty Discount for all Contagion owners at 15% for two months. Launch discount was 10%, so basically all Contagion owners got Outbreak for 25% off at launch.
If you have any questions, just ask below! I'll answer pretty much almost anything ːsteammockingː
Just want to recap a few things here. The new dev team was brought on for Contagion VR: Outbreak, not for Contagion. I and most of the new development team are Unreal Engine 4 developers, and we had nothing to do with Contagion or Source Engine.
Even so, I didn't mind trying my hand at it in my free time and seeing what I could do. It didn't go so well, the docs are practically non-existent, the engine itself was archaic. A grand mess. We tried to even get some of the old programmers to jump in and help, but that was a bust.
We are still focusing our efforts on Contagion VR: Outbreak, since that's what we came on for.
But, we'd like to see about getting some talent onboard that will focus 100% attention to fixing Contagion's bugs and polish up other areas.
If you have worked with Source Engine before, please fill out this form:

(copy/paste it into your browser... Steam is blocking it)
We'll get back to you if you're the right candidate to tackle this job.
I just wanted to iterate this. I know some of you are mad that the game hasn't been updated in what seems like forever now. No matter the excuse, you are all entitled to your opinions.
Is the game dead? Only if you want it to be. There are PLENTY of players that own this game. A lot of opportunities to get together and play the game.

Current Dev Team
Just want to recap a few things here. The new dev team was brought on for Contagion VR: Outbreak, not for Contagion. I and most of the new development team are Unreal Engine 4 developers, and we had nothing to do with Contagion or Source Engine.
Even so, I didn't mind trying my hand at it in my free time and seeing what I could do. It didn't go so well, the docs are practically non-existent, the engine itself was archaic. A grand mess. We tried to even get some of the old programmers to jump in and help, but that was a bust.
So what now?
We are still focusing our efforts on Contagion VR: Outbreak, since that's what we came on for.
But, we'd like to see about getting some talent onboard that will focus 100% attention to fixing Contagion's bugs and polish up other areas.
