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).

The Halloween special Build 0.9.15.3 is now live on Steam. Biggest new features include timed exclusive content, a new level, weapon and the usual fixes and tweaks. More detail on that further below.

The Halloween special level "Deat Heat" can be unlocked for the next 12 days (till 10.XI.2020). Once unlocked, you will continue to have access to it after that date. But you need to find it first;) Once you do, you will be able to play it from the Mamebox console at the apartment



Next update with be the offcial 14th update and should be ready around mid November, focusing mainly on updating the awarenesss system (especially visibility on the sides) and further refinement and polish to existing content.

In the meantime, a small update might be going live in a few days to address a layer order issue with one of the new enemies and name of the Magnum.



Now on to the fun stuff!

Edit 03-11-2020: Flash update 0.9.15.3A added. Cahnges will be highlighted in bold below

[h3]0.9.15.3 inlcludes:[/h3]

- Halloween special theme at the apartment

-Halloween exclusive level: Dead Beat. Take on the living dead in this prototype arena/wave style level. Available also for the Demo version but with limited content (no Magnum, smaller level, ends on wave 2)

The living dead in this map pose quite the threat: much tougher than regular enemies, you will need to blast through 3 layers before you get to the vital parts. That, or find a weapon with explosive damage:) Another bonus is that these dudes will have stunted and longer reatiion/aiming times-after all being braindead has to have its cons, right? ;)

-New weapon: the Magnum (official name pending). Time to go Dirty Harry! Only available in Dead Heat

-New enemies featuring robust destruction, the Livind Dead! Blast through 3 layers to get to the vital parts!

-updated Magnum (Mag NM) name, correct weapon pickup icon name and graphic, cleaned up logic

-fixed pumkpin head layer order glow

-witness level new neon props and destroyed decal ground concrete with depthmaps

-Added to base low tier slav thug override for slower aim (hence slightly slower reaction time: get feedback). Should make the initial early game encounters easier,

-updated material for pillars Fugitive

-larger updates and polish for fugitive level (new elements, bariers, AI tweaks, Boss fight mech, NPC post fight area, npc chats etc)

-updated mech cannon to have small explosive damage to chip away cover a bit faster and make fight more dramatic

-topdog start updated final part of stage escalator encounter (destructible ads, new enemies etc)

-removed old glass elements from exhibition stage of top dog (caused major performance hit)

-new car skin for Canal Fugitive outro

-Setup first stage puddle updates and small bugfixes (unused chats etc)

-new enemies: armored KC grunt (in terrace), kc operatives blue, new shoot animation armored grunt etc

-answers further tweaks and plish, closed holed etc,

-topdog final entrance area updated

-bullet impact sparks fixed not despawning (should help performance)

-new slim kc grunt white

-nightstick updated to be destroyed on 0 uses thrown (was destroy on hit before enemy throw hit deduct usage was implemented)

-downtime intro stage added and text (warning of Crimson Reaper in area and KC sweep) (temporariliy disabled to since level is too unpolished to go public yet. Should be reactivated by the next update)

-fugitive slight tweaks to materials and slight details added

-nightstick pickup grab collider expanded

-mech canon explosion bullet smaller 0,25->0,15

-Answers updated glass materials and meshes set to static to enable dynamic occlusion (possibly increase performance)

-added halloween pumkpin destructible for home with new destructible (action levels have more gore/blood oriented destroy)

-updated newsfeed home animation

-added Dead Heat Demo version map with speific tweaks (removed slugger and closed off second part of map and wave 3, info popup) and added to demo scenes

-added new halloween decorations

---

This is all for now,

Till the next one!

[h2]Greetings Crimson Community![/h2]

0.9.15.2 is ready and waiting for download!

Major new feature are the 2 new midgame levels „Thug life” and „Boyz from tha Hood”, with its own new dedicated dynamic tune. These will be alternate routes for the main plot branch levels It's Personal and Less Than Zero . These are the initial iterations of the levels so expect some updates here soon.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Also got quite a bit of polish and tweaks to Top Dog along with a new initial stage (starting in a parking garage to make the level progress more coherently).

Besides that the usual healthy dose of tweaks, adjustments, polish and fixes. For detailed info please check the notes further below.

Next update is planned around Halloween, 29th Oct and aiming to get something special done here :)

Besides that emphasis will be put on the Top Dog route levels and further polish and refinement of that route as well as getting community request/bugs addressed on the fly, so do please the feedback coming!


Now moving on to the main course:


[h3]0.9.15.2 Includes:[/h3]

-2 new levels:

Boyz from tha Hood
Thuglife

With dedicated tunes and a 90's Hiphop Hood theme in Dredd sauce;)

0.9.15.1 Just went live and with it more good stuff!



The major feature of this update is a reworked stamina/ kick system and dependency. Now you will never get locked out of kicking even when very low on stamina but there's a catch. If you spam the kick it will result in a kick with longer windup, same goes for the superkick. If you wait for a brief moment however between kicks you will be able to do continiuos kicks at regular speed.

Also, some other tweaks to the avatar, including a pills swallow animation, highlight of currently selected pill and layout tweaks.

And last but not least loads of updates to levels and bug fixes, polish etc. For more detailed info please check the patch notes below. Major changes were added to the Trauma related levels.

We will most likely be dropping another patch next week(circa 22nd OCtober) focusing on further polish to the Trauma related levels (heavier emphasis will be put on the Top Dog level but Trauma, Setup and others will still be getting some love) as well as addition of a new important midgamelevel/route. And of course addressing as much community feedback/reported bugs etc as possible!

Seriously though, you guys rock! The reported feedback helped speed up fixing issues so much faster, so please keep it coming! Major kudos go out to: NickyBfudd, Still, Insomniac.

We will still be working on updating the awareness system to be visible on the sides but this will likely be ready in 2-3 weeks
