Greetings!

The Steam Autumn Sale is here and Post Scriptum will be 25% off for the duration of the entire sale. We will also be on sale later in the Winter Sale that will arrive in late December.

As we are slowly starting to wrap up November month within the development team the Christmas spirit is setting in amongst the team and we are feeling in a particularly giving mood!

So since we have you here we want to briefly talk about the plans over the next couple of weeks as we start to wrap up 2020. We are hoping to have a new patch out before December is upon us with a couple of new layers, fixes and more. We are also looking at fixing some critical bugs before we leave for our holiday.

In terms of development, you can expect to hear a lot more information about Modding and SDK in December, as well as a new roadmap that outlines the plans for 2021, which are very exciting! We can't wait to share with you what you can expect going into the next year.

As has become a regular occurrence on Steam at this time we are once again taking part in the Steam Award Nominations, we hope that you will make sure to vote your favourite games of 2020 for an award, fingers crossed that means Post Scriptum included!



Sincerely,
Periscope Games

Greetings!

We hope you enjoyed the spooky Halloween event that we ran alongside this Steam Halloween Sale.

We are extremely positive about the initial reception of the game mode and we will investigate the feasibility of making it a permanent small game mode of Post Scriptum at a later date. For now, we are switching Post Scriptum back to its non-spooky state and it includes a couple of small fixes.

We are aware of some issues with the Armour penetration of certain vehicles and it's being looked into.

[h3]Changelog v2.1.1036.1[/h3]

• - Removed: Post Scriptum: The Bloody Undead Time-limited event.
  
  
• - Level Design: Fixed random Flak & Pak spawns infinitely respawning on Heelsum Offensive 04
  
  
• - 3D: Fixed some buildings missing roof, balcony and interior wall collision.

Greetings!

Thanks for the wonderful reception of our time-limited game mode Contagion. We've been keeping an eye on how players have been greeting the mode and we are really happy most people are enjoying it.

There are however a couple of issues, most notably never-ending rounds, teamkilling and team switching late game.

This hotfix should address some of these issues and we ask that you please keep sending us that feedback.
