The 'Endless Action' Update



Forever? FOREVER.

That's how long you can now play MAXIMUM Action thanks to our new 'Endless Action' Update.

So what EXACTLY have we added, action stars?!

WE'RE GLAD YOU ASKED

Completely REWORKED Endless Mode
(Leaderboards coming soon)

Now with proper scoring, scaling and even loading & death screens.
(so it doesn't seem like the game is freezing between waves) You're welcome.



We've repurposed all of the "cut content" and come up with
EIGHT solid AF endless levels for you to kick ass in. Yeehaw.



Including a brand new OFFICES level featuring trinkets from other New Blood games.



Improved Gun Room and
BRAND NEW shooting range


Want to test out all the guns in the game?
Want to test out all the guns on the workshop?
Want to just stand around and stare at a bunch of guns?!
WELL NOW YOU CAN.



We've even added a high score game. Bang bang. Shoot shoot.



PROGRESSION?!


Hints of a campaign? Replayability? Collectibles? No WAY.

You'll now notice that levels are locked until you beat the previous level.
To unlock endless levels you'll have to find VHS tapes within the levels.
EZPZ grenade squeezey.



Are we Tony Hawking this sh*t? You bet your ass.

Already played the game and don't want to unlock everything again? ALL GOOD.

Just Use the console with ~ and then type in 'Unlock All Levels'

Does this make all the levels good? No. Can you now press F1 to quick restart? YES.

New Tutorial

The old tutorial? Wack. The NEW tutorial? Dank.



Oh, you can also flip your guns now (scroll your mouse wheel)



and you didn't think we'd drop a new update without dropping
A new track from HJP

Yeah, that sh*t slaps.
ANYWAY, we hope you love the direction we're taking MAXIMUM Action in
as much as we love making it for you.

(v.69) Good Luck Parking



Welcome back, movie stars!

Been awhile since we've given you an OFFICIAL rundown of what we've added to your "shoots", and what you'll be filming next... so let's dig in to what's in MAXIMUM Action v.69... Nice.

A NEW LEVEL
GOOD LUCK PARKING

The first level fully built by the DUSK Dad himself, David Szymanski!

It's got:

CARS!



EXPLOSIONS!



and... GUNS! (duh)



So have at it.

But wait... there's more!

We've added...
A new HUD!


Not only is this HUD easy on the eyes...
You'll find it's much more readable with all the ACTION you'll have going on.



It's got BIG NUMBERS because you've got BIG GUNS.



There's also...
New features!

We've added subtle outlines to nearby weapons that you can pick up.



More importantly, you can now continue to pick up weapons without dropping them!

That's right - just JUST KEEP MASHING [F]
and you'll keep picking up and rotating weapons without having to drop them! (finally)



We've also sped up 'weapon grabbing' out of mid air for MAXIMUM PRECISION.

Check this sh!t out:



Better yet, we've added reload canceling, the ability to fire while your other gun is reloading AND sped up reloading during ACTION TIME so now you won't find yourself getting caught in slo mo reloads. Killer.



FULL PATCH NOTES HERE

But What's Next?!

We're improving Endless Mode and adding a new level to it!



And we've also been overhauling the game's very necessary tutorials and are nearly done with it.

We think you'll dig the A E S T H E T I C



But when can you expect these next updates?!



You guessed it...

SOON™
Until then, movie stars ːTRː

MAXIMUM Destruction

Hey movie stars!
Been a minute, hasn't it?

Well, since we released the MAXIMUM Weapon & Level Workshop...



We've spent the last 3 updates cleaning up the remaining workshop issues and making sure that you movie star modders can update + edit existing workshop mods as well as automatically delete mods you've unsubscribed to. You know, important stuff!

Check out the patch notes HERE:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/853770/discussions/0/1640915206463507624/

We've taken some time since then to re-organize the project files in preparation for what you've all really been waiting for...

CONTENT.

Oh yes, we've started working and re-working on existing and brand new MAXIMUM Action scenes for you to blast through. But as you can see, that's not all...



We also promised you more...
DESTRUCTION, DYNAMIC LIGHTING and SHADOWS.
Now we're about to deliver:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4ccY7vM_Yg


So what can you expect???

Well, as you might have guessed, George + David have redone The Hospital scene from Hard Boiled, complete with all the new lighting, shadows and destruction you've seen above.



It's also being turned into 3-4 sublevels that will combine the parking garage, hospital, and then the rooftop. It won't be so easy to fight your way out of this one anymore, movie stars - but we have faith that with enough ACTION... anything is possible.



We're also working on a new Western Saloon level, fixing up the movement and control mechanics... and I've heard that George is now determined to recreate the "Mile High Club" mission from Modern Warfare. BRUH.

Want to keep up to the minute with our MAXIMUM development?!

Johnny HERE: https://twitter.com/Cr2CrStudios
New Blood HERE: https://twitter.com/TheNewBloods
...and me? HERE: https://twitter.com/DaveOshry

And don't forget - we want to build MAXIMUM Action with YOU, the players. So post all your ideas here on the forums or you can always come talk to us directly in Discord.gg/NewBlood

Until next time, ACTION TO THE MAX!
