We will be aiming to get a Release Cadidate ready by the end of July, so in around 2 more updates. After that it will boil down to community feedback until we get the greenlight fo v.1.0. So please keep the feedback coming, it's really helping us speed up finalising and refining the game!

0.9.27.0[/h2]

-Azur plaza hub new underground section.

-Azur plaza wanted system. Active once Azur plaza open up and police patrols show up in the area. Break the law and face the consequences. With a full tier system, so the higher your wanted level, more speicalised units will be called in to pacify the unruly threat. Along with the new underground section in the hub surviving this onslaught will prove to be a challenge.

So that is it for this one. We will see you on the next one. Till then, stay safe!

Cheers,

The Downfall Team,

Mike, Dawid

Greetings Everyone,

It's the 3rd anniversary of the Early Access release and I wish we could have been happy to say so. Alas, the 27th Early Access update will sadly not make in time for the planned end of march. We apologise for the delay, however with the recent aggression on Ukraine, especially being Polish brought back what history taught us happened to Poland in 1939. Besides the horrible helpless feeling of watching history repeat itself, we had to shift our focus to helping out in some way due to the humanitarian crisis and dev had been postponed for a while.

We are getting back in the fast track and should have the update ready by mid April.

To be honest it just feels wrong enjoying normality when horrific events are happening just across the eastern border. So in case the crisis would be getting worse, we will shift our focus again if need be, hence it would be fair to warn another delay might be possible.

So please excuse we didn't get anything special done for the game for its birthday. We will make up for this in time. For the time being,starting tomorrow-16th March the game will be 50% off. Thanks for understanding.

Stay safe,

The PDF Team,

Mike, Dawid

[h3]Greetings Crimson Community![/h3]

The 26th Early Access is now ready and waiting for download. Both for the full Early Access and Demo. This major update boasts a lot of new details to existing content as well as some new features, lots of optimisation with custom options and more. As usualy the full list of new stuff, tweaks and fixes can be found further below.



Once again, huge shoutout goes to the awesome community! Please keep the feedback and gameplay clips coming ːHaroldChillː

We are aiming to get the game good enough to leave Early Access by the 30th Update, with the next 1-2 updates finlaising game content in terms of general polish, more engaging boss/miniboss encoutners, details, subplots, logic etc. After that it will all boil down to addressing feedback of the active community, balancing the game out and ironing out as many bugs as possible before Project Downfall will be worthy of the bearing the v.1.0 tag. As we promised in the Early Access description: we want to deliver a fine tuned and polished product without the dreaded day 1 patches and/or patches post v1.0 launch changing game mechanics, balance etc.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

[h2]New features:[/h2]

-Fleshed out subplots, updated existing subplots and most importantly...more Olga!

-Advanced graphics settings: change the texture resolution, SSAO, shadow cascades, and alot more

-Effects LOD presets: mainly for particle effects density and quality. And since the game can go a bit overboard with these (ie with multikills in slomo and destruction) this one should help out especially weaker machines and GPUs.

-full HUD quick toggle. Should be handy for taking screenshots or bumping immersion on the fly. Default toggle is under "n"

-new music track "Fall", courtesy of M4D-BOX. Visit the cinema in Azur Plaza to check it out.

Greetings Crimson Community,

Getting the final tweaks ready and if all goes as planned, the 26th Early Access Update will go live 14th-15th February 2022.



Besides the regular refinement and polish to existing content we got some cool new stuff, including a unique cinematic Depth Of Field effect with variations. And most important of all: alot of optimisation and new graphical/visual settings which should significantly improve performance, especially on slower setups/GPU's. As usual, the full robust list of new stuff, changes, tweaks and fixes will drop with the associated announcement when the update goes live in 7-8 days.



Also very happy to announce the update will feature a banging track from M4D-BOX. You can check out his awesome stuff over here: https://linktr.ee/m4dboxofficial


New Olga content?

Getting really excited for this one. After 4 intense years of dev, the Early Access seems to be coming to a close. If all goes well, we should get the content finalised and polished enough within the next 1-2 updates. And then it should boil down to community feedback and balance/bug reports. As usual, can't express how awesome all of you are! Your reports, feedback, input, requests / etc helped us make the game better and reach it's current state. So it's safe to say Project Downfall is the game it is thanks to you! We are so happy to have you on board and hope you will continue sending in your feedback and gameplays. Speaking of, the Discord is the recommended place to do so: https://discord.gg/h8TAUNacuK

BONES, Essentialist / Drainer, DCX, Gamb, Hardwater, Kyoncha Operative / TF2NoobPlayer64, McMarius11, Nekromorg, Pepperoni Vice, ShreksSon64, Sinth....and anyone I might have ommited or helped us out over the years** ...love ya!

**If I accidentaly ommited someone, please let me know and I'll update the shoutouts. Also decided to do the shoutouts alphabetically, so please don't take it as a snub if you are further along the list.

Alrighty, gotta get back to work, so I'll be seeing you next week! Till the next one.
