Project Downfall 16th Early Access Update is now live

The 16th Early Access Update for Project Downfall just went live and is ready and waiting for download! For a detailed breakdown please check the notes below. One of the new features inculdes various framerate settings. Since this is the first itteration and various monitors/setups please let us know of any issues and how this is working for you. To enable these options go to the graphics settings and disable v-sync and a new batch of setting shoudl pop up.



The 17th Update is estimated to drop round Christmas Eve and likley with a limited time Holiday event. Besides the regular further tweaks and refinement to existing content, optimisation and so on, it will most likely update and tweak the awareness system further (we'd appreciate your feedback here, ie if you would like an optional 360 degree awareness update which would indicate aggro enemies behind cover) as well as making the flying kick stand out more (and with its dedicated combo multiplier) and updating Hard and Nightmare difficulties for mulitple levels(inlcuding enemy reaction times, which should also benefit normal difficulty: more lower tier enemies are planned to have a slightly but noticeable slower reaction/aim/shoot time).



Thanks again for the awesome feeedback! We greatly appreciate it and do please keep it comming:D

Now on to the main course:


[h2]0.9.16.0 Includes:[/h2]


-Updated awareness system: now it will display correctly on the sides and not only on the bottom edge of the screen so it will be easier ti pinpoint incoming danger. Of course, if you would rather depend on the 3d audio and incoming footsteps, you can also turn it off completely in the settings.

Please let us know if you would like an additional option for a full 360 degree awareness update which would come handy with indicating aggro enemies behind cover in front of you.
