Development of Total Rendition is currently at version 0.4.3.8, which we had originally planned to release as an update. However, 0.4.3.8's new features and bug fixes are on their own not particularly exciting nor high priority for that matter. For instance, 0.4.3.8 now boasts the technical capacity for dynamic footstep sounds that change depending on the surface you are walking on in-game, although since we are still in the process of figuring out a fitting sound design for it, we do not really have an ability to capitalise on it yet. This is not the only issue, but it is to give you an idea of how we are experiencing things on our end as developers. We really want to make the next update feel like a major leap in terms of development. This means that if we cannot deliver you that much new in-game content, we want to make sure you'll get nice new features instead. We definitely have noted the AI could use a lot of work, so programming-wise, that is likely going to be a top priority in the near future. Of course, a red thread that you may have noticed is that in-game art, environment design and level design do not really seem to be keeping with the programming progress, in that Total Rendition is intended to be significantly more expansive than it currently is, in terms of world-building. To address this issue, we will need to expand our team, as up to this point, our team has yet to include an environment and level design specialist, to name a specific example or two. We'll spare you the gory details, though let's say this involves a lot of a$$-kissing of techbros, because it's NOT the revenue we make on Steam that is going to pay for the production of what Total Rendition is ultimately intended to become... Until next time!

The Game They Don't Want You To Play!
In this narrative-driven first-person immersive simulation, you start out with your first day at Knoll NV, a large multinational firm operating in the shady world of "litigation support" (or to put it plainly, privatized spooks). Among their clients are the van Hoorn family, a prominent Dutch old money dynasty based in "Holland's Finest Beach" of Noordwijk aan Zee, in turn renowned, or perhaps notorious, for being frequently visited by prominent figures from across the world.Yet, while the van Hoorns themselves are nowhere to be found, you do encounter state-sponsored terrorists masquerading as mere frat boys, dodgy business transactions, pervasive corruption and the rest. Of course, this is only the beginning, leaving you wondering whether you have been set up for a fool's errand. Get ready to set out on an odyssey to discover the truth, as you jump into a parallel world where you encounter the reality behind Europe's urban legends, political scandals and conspiracy theories. In order to survive in a brutal and decadent world, you must use your wits in either covert or violent ways.
Total Rendition is set in contemporary times and tells you a story of a world decades in the making as a result of buffoonery, stupidity and complacency. So, what will you do when that world is about to explode? Total Rendition may be the Game They Don't Want You To Play, yet it is perhaps by playing, that you may find out...
