Project Downfall 19th Early Access Update Release ETA **UPDATED 8th March**
[h3]Greetings Crimson Community,[/h3]
The 19th Early Access Update is coming along nicely and is expected to drop sometime between 7th-9th March 2021. It will include a multitude of tweaks, polish, refinement, collectibles, secrets as well as a few new levels.
UPDATE 8th March 2021: We will have to postpone the update for a few days (circa 5-7). We are aiming to get it ready for download 15th March the latest. Please excuse this delay: we decided it will be most beneficial for the game so we can be sure we can get the planned anniversary feature ready and debugged as much as possible. For those who don't want to wait, there is a workaround: The community Beta is still up and although not fully up to date(build is from last week), it still contains a nice amount of the changes from the upcoming 19th update. If you would like to check it out please get in touch via DM.
UPDATE 2nd March 2021: Community Beta is live.
We will also try to add the FOV slider along with the update. Worst case scenario it will be added with a flash update about 1 week later. This was actually a really tough one which took up much more time than we expected. Due to the games unorthodox visual style and rendering solutions, adding the FOV proved to be much harder than it initially seemed. Long story short: this required a new rendering solution and camera, which sadly will not be 1 to 1 to the default, visceral Field Of View. So in some cases some effects might be missing and certain scenes will look differently. This is in no way game breaking, but due to being imperfect -instead of axing this option- we will be adding it as a Beta option with appropriate warnings. We won't be able to satisfy everyone, but at least those who will prefer to play the game at a different/wider FOV will be able to do so but with some caveats. We will continue working on this, see how it goes and keep you up to date!
Other than that we got the games anniversary coming up so we will be aiming to add a smaller update and hopefully one really cool feature if possible.
Also a smaller heads-up: The 20th Update will take take a bit longer than the regular 30-40 days (circa 10-18 extra days). So it will most likely be coming mid to late April. The reason for this is rather simple: I need to take some time off to regenerate a bit. Last 2 years were crazy intense: no vacations, crunching/ working 7 days a week most of the year (inlcuding holidays, new years eve etc). So in the words of Duke: "After some few days of R&R, I'll be ready for some more action! " and you can be sure that this will mean even more cool stuff in the 20th Update :D
So that's it for now. Thanks for tuning in and see you back in early March!
Cheers,
The Downfall Team,
