Development Update - A change of Plans


Hello everyone, I want to take a very quick moment to explain what our plans are for the rest of the year. If you've read the v0.85 Changelog Post, you've seen me mention how we are doing a patch later in the year that consists of both Story Content and the Randomizer Mode. The goal was to do this in a single patch, but we've changed our mind on this as it did not make a lot of sense. Allow me to explain what changes and why.

Changes


Randomizer Mode will launch earlier than originally intended


Including Randomizer Mode in a Story Update felt contradictory, as Randomizer Mode isn't very lore friendly and it disables Story Elements in favor of a very randomized gameplay experience. So instead, it gets its own update entirely that launches sooner than initially stated. With how big of a game mode this is, I think it's deserving of a spotlight anyway! We are currently Alpha Testing this mode with our Patreon Members and so far things have been going really well. It's a lot of fun and a very welcome addition to the game. As usual, this update will also include general quality of life fixes and other improvements.

Story Update plans remain unchanged


We are still targeting November / December for the big update that adds voice acting and story content to Chapter 1.

Randomizer Mode Options


Additionally, I really want to share the amount of options the Randomizer Mode has (so far). We're still testing so expect more options to be added when we launch. This mode can be as minimalistic or chaotic as you want it to be. Want a more vanilla run with small bits of randomization applied like a handful of extra enemies? Thats possible. Want to go insane and turn every room into a bloodbath? Thats also possible. Not recommended, but possible!




Conclusion


With two major patches left in 2024, there is plenty of stuff to still look forward to. Randomizer Mode is shaping up to be quite a blast to play and we hope you feel the same way when it comes out in October! Thank you for taking the time to read this. If you have any questions or suggestions, post them below and I'll try to get back to you. - Nexxtic

  • Selaco is a brand new original shooter running on GZDoom, featuring thrilling action set pieces, destructibility, smart AI and a fleshed out story taking place within an immersive game world. It draws inspiration heavily from F.E.A.R. in terms of action set pieces, while mixing traditional retro-FPS elements from QUAKE and DOOM, along with some more modern features. Together with professional artists who work in the industry, several having worked on successful throwback FPS games in the past, Selaco is a fully fleshed out world full of character, action, and mystery.


    The story takes place during a violent invasion of Selaco, the underground facility that's home to the surviving refugees after the fall of Earth. You play as Dawn, an ACE Security Captain who, with her recent promotion and high level security clearances, is digging deep into the truth behind Selaco's murky history. Before she can finish her investigation, Selaco is rocked by explosions and armed invaders. While Selaco may take place in a large-scale conflict, much of it will be the personal story of Dawn, the center-piece of the game.


    • A lengthy story-driven campaign
    Selaco is a story-driven experience, and we don't say that lightly. A dedicated writer has been brought on board to assist with creating an engaging and believable sci-fi story and world.

    • Intense Action set pieces
    Turn the entire world into confetti with the destructive power of your weapons. Every single bullet will react properly with any materials or objects you hit. Our artists have created many different variations for each (voxel)object to ensure that the aftermath of each encounter is palpable. That once lavish office space now nothing but a pile of rubble with broken paintings, smashed tables, screen, chairs, smoke, and chunks of debris.

    • Custom AI
    With our FEAR influence, writing proper AI was a goal from the get go. The enemy is fully aware of each other's presence and work together to take you down. They will keep their distance if you apply constant pressure on them, will rush you if you hide or run out of bullets, toss grenades if you use the same cover for too long, and much more. Hundreds of custom lines have been written and acted out, providing hints to the player about their current plans and tactics.

    • Full soundtrack
    Selaco is accompanied by a full length original soundtrack composed by an experienced musician who has worked on many games in the past.

    • Professional voice-acting.
    To help immerse players in the story and atmosphere of Selaco, professional voice actors have been brought on board. Dawn will be voiced by the incredibly talented Melissa Medina, with other casting choices revealed at a later date.

    • Extra Gamemodes
    Completing levels allows you to replay that level in Incursion Mode, an expanded version of that map where your skills will be tested against a near endless onslaught of enemies. Win incursion maps to gain bonuses to aid you throughout the campaign. New exclusive Incursion Levels and new mutators will also be unlocked as the campaign progresses.


    • Full open-source modding support
    Mod it till it breaks! Create new campaign experiences, modify or create your own content, port your favorite GZDoom mods. Anything goes!
