ARCHANGEL ANNOUNCEMENTS SEPTEMBER 2018
Welcome to our fourth issue of Archangel Announcements.
_________________________________________________
As revealed in the previous issue of Archangel Announcements, we've opted to create a single-player campaign where you take the role of a mercenary doing various dirty jobs for the different factions on a wartorn planet. Our previous episode of Wednesday Warzone revealed this planet's name to be "Baja Secunda".
Baja Secunda is a planet known for its wide swathes of arid wasteland, though it wasn't always this way; it was once a 'paradise planet' akin to an untouched Earth. This all changed during the Incursion Wars with the Demiurge : Massive weapons of mass destruction were fielded and destroyed much of the planet's ecology. Much of the planet was reduced to an arid wasteland, and the few places that can still sustain human habitation currently suffer from rapid desertification.
Despite this, Baja Secunda is the site of a growing conflict between two powerful 'Imperial Prefectures' and their many allies. There is also a rising anti-Imperial sentiment among the populace of Baja Secunda, and it has led to a separatist revolt in this time of instability. Now, there is a high demand for mercenaries... and weapons.
Along with the Archangels our players know about, here are just some samples of the warmachines you may see (and fight) in the single-player campaign.
Tanks!
Helicopters!
Planes!
And here is the 'grandaddy' of the Archangels, the Angel 'Powersuit' units that the Solar Empire fielded during its infancy. Archangels were developed from overengineering the original designs, and became so large that they could no longer be called 'powersuits'. These Angel powersuits, though less powerful and lightly armored, are still commonly fielded by various paramilitary groups.
These different enemy types may also be added to the existing horde mode, replacing earlier levels of Archangels. More to follow as development continues!
Rather than two new weapons, we'll only be releasing one weapon at the end of the month, called the 'Peacemaker'.
It is a pistol manufactured by Eagle Enterprises, and will be the first 500 weight hand gun weapon in the game.
It will be released to the public on the fourth week of September, and possibly earlier on the preview branch.
Want to add a new weapon to the world of Garrison: Archangel? Win this contest and we'll work with you to make it! You can even win a free steam key and add to the lore of the universe!
Rules and more contest details HERE. ( goo. gl/forms/4kTW1ZzRhrkOZF9D3 )
The contest is open to everyone, and it does not require a purchase of the game! Entries will be open until September 26, 2018 only!
As always, our discord and steam page is open to receive comments and bug reports. Bug fixes and small mechanics updates come frequently through the preview branch, and go into public once issues have been stabilized.
You can learn how to opt into the preview branch here.
More rules and details will follow soon! Stay tuned for announcements in our various social media!
