After Inc: Revival News

[p]Two weeks after launch, our second major update smashes open the emergency exit and escapes onto Steam - adding a whole new way to replay campaigns…[/p][p][/p][p]This was a very popular request from players who wanted to be able to replay campaign maps without knowing exactly where everything is. Thanks to everyone for your feedback and especially those who voted in our development poll so far. [/p][p][/p][p]FYI - the game has now been out for 2 weeks.

[/p][h2]Escape Hatch[/h2][p]After completing a Campaign level, a new option will open up: the Escape Hatch mode.[/p][p][/p][p]Enabling it lets Survivors use a new exit to leave the bunker! Starting location, terrain and enemies are reshuffled so you don't know exactly what is out there...[/p][p][/p][p]Can you still build a thriving settlement if you emerged on the other side of the region? What if meat was scarce? Or forests far away?[/p][p][/p][p]It's a brand new challenge every time with some special surprises.[/p][p][/p][h3]Full Changelog[/h3][p]New Features[/p]

[p]We have the first big update coming later this week with Extra Expeditions (will be on open beta channel soon) but in the mean time, here are a few fixes to address feedback from players.[/p][p][/p][h2]Bug Fixes[/h2]

• [p]Impatience Authority Floor: Impatience can no longer reduce your Authority below 5 on Casual, 4 on Normal, and 1 on Brutal difficulties. (previously was 1 on Casual and Normal).

Next week we will release our first big Early Access update which will add Extra Expeditions.[/p][p]For fans of the usual Daily Expeditions - you will be able to do more expeditions to accelerate the development of your civilization.  [/p][h3]Looking Ahead[/h3][p]Check out our roadmap below for other things we have planned.
