Letter from the Producer #5
This letter is a bit lite while we work to polish and clean up systems. I believe we need to halt the year 2 roadmap to focus on polish. Being an indie team with limited resources i feel our best efforts should be placed towards optimization, Path Finding, Tutorials and bug fixing. After an extensive period of time is spent on these systems we should then resume on Factions/Civilian Management and rework the year 2 roadmap for our new schedule going into Year 3. Vote below if you believe the same and share your thoughts in the comments section/Discord!
https://strawpoll.com/polls/7MZ0zjKw1no So what does this mean? In most cases most divisions will not be affected outside of programmers generally character modeling and other divisions will press on to create a backlog of assets so when the programmers are taken off this polish period we'll have plenty to work on across the board.
We expect to have further bug fixes live in the next 24-48 hours to further improve collision issues and other oddities players have been reporting. Please remember to leave your bugs/issues preferably documented on our discord bug-report channel.
Myself and some volunteers from the community have also been working on replacing the CERC Handbook size. Early W.I.P taking inspiration from the Zomboid Wiki, A place to put in lore/guides and general information about the game. If your interested in joining the scribes contact a mod on our Discord.

The game is now localized in Simplified Chinese and will gain Korean, Japanese & Russian in the next few weeks.
Standard Infected are now done in the modeling stages. Awaiting Rigging/Skinning
Mask progress for Assaults
We toyed around with Winters mesh not final. Still debating on the hair style
We also took some time to do early LOD/Mesh testing of the new Assault meshes no ETA yet on their implementation.
We tweaked and toyed with the Police Cruiser for the police faction.
C5 Galaxy We are modeling a C5 Galaxy for future callins related to bringing in heavier equipment like the Abrams.
We also been working on Infected Walls and fortifications for Mid-Late game

Game is not tagged as available on Linux on Steam.
The Pangu Virus has been unleashed in San Francisco, turning thousands of innocent lives into mindless beasts that feel no pain and have no fear of death. With each passing hour, the Pangu Virus evolves, creating new and ever more horrific mutations with one goal in mind… Spread.
You are Captain Winter, a military officer fighting alongside the Center for Epidemic Research and Control(CERC). With a massive arsenal and the resources of the US Government behind it, you and CERC will stop at nothing to ensure the terror of the Pangu Virus does not escalate beyond containment, even if a whole city and millions of lives must be sacrificed.
- Cepheus Protocol is inspired by classic RTS games such as Company of Heroes and World in Conflict, alongside the book World War Z.
- Survive if you can against a relentless enemy that evolves and grows more powerful with each day.
- Build specialized units from a variety of bases that can be placed anywhere in the open-world map.
- Battle those infected by the Pangu Virus across four open-world islands, featuring unique and challenging environments.
- Choose from three combat tiers that play to your style. Each tier has specialized units, equipment, and weaponry.
- Engage a relentless horde of infected which numbers grow larger and stronger with each territory captured as you battle for control of San Francisco.
- Hunt Patient Zero, who races across the city seizing territory. Each capture zone increases her population as the virus spreads and possesses all organic matter.
- Form an alliance or side against the Anarchist and Police factions, which struggle to survive among the madness that has enveloped San Francisco.
Note: Steam Remote Play is for allowing your friends to try out the game if you already have purchased it. It's not for online co-op: that is is planned in the current roadmap, but is not complete yet
