Project Downfall 6th Early Access Update ETA
Good Day All,
UPDATE: 31-08-2019. The build which was supposed to go live today had a few issues with the new levels/content. We will address them immediately and upload the fixed build. However, due to this there will be a 1-2 day delay. So, currently the ETA of the 6th update is 1st-2nd / Sept / 2019. Please excuse the delay and thank you for your patience!

So we are closing up the tasks for the 6th Early Access update. If no unexpected issues turn up, it should go live around the 30th-31st August.
I'll get to the new content breakdown in a second, but first I feel it fair to share the current state of affairs:
Unfortunately, due to time constraints and other obligations, Sebastian won't be able to continue working on the game, meaning Dawid will have to take over all his tasks. So currently we have dropped from a 3 man dev-team to 2. This will obviously impact development time.
However, this will only affect the programming related tasks. My tasks and progress will remain unchanged, since I was solo in this aspect from the start of the project.
So due to this, the planned key remapping will be delayed. Good news is that nevertheless, quite a bit of programming related features will be in the next update.
The 6th Early Access update will include an update to the original FPS controller which fixes issues with movement ie when connecting with dead enemies(in short, should be noticeably more fluid). Besides that, the first batch of achievements ought be ready, new levels, alternate routes. The first possible endgame can now be obtained so in official terms the game is going from Alpha to Beta, since it now can be finished. Quite a bit of other new features and fixes, but as usual I'll get into more details once the update goes live.
In the meantime, prior to Sebastians departure from the project during our last weekend crunch, the guys put in a lot of work to finally get the new FPS controller working. It still is Work In Progress and needs more work, but hopefully will be ready by the 7th update.
Of course, in case of anything, just fire away.
Thanks for sticking by!
The Downfall Team,
Mike, Dawid, Sebastian
