Today we are excited to introduce in-game leaderboards to Final Outpost: Definitive Edition alongside a new scoring system. This is a great time to talk about the demo for FO:DE. The demo will include all the improvements we've been working on for the last few months and tease new features like difficulty modes and the all-new trading system. You'll be able to play all the way up to the first Winter, which is over 2 hours of gameplay!
The best part? The demo has a new scoring system that shows how well you performed throughout your game. So the demo will have its own competition to see who is the best Outpost manager in the first 36 days. This competition won't be in the full release so make sure to play the demo on Steam when it releases on 13th December!
The new scores are calculated based on days survived, total population, and deaths. This means the players topping this leaderboard will be those who can grow their population the fastest without having any of their citizens starve.
Normal and Classic modes are available in the demo. In terms of difficulty these two modes are identical, but in Normal mode you can save your progress whenever you like. If your walls are breached you can rewind to a previous night and try a new strategy.
In the full game, you will be able to compete against others for overall score, number of days survived, biggest population reached, and prestige level. We will explain prestiging in a future blog post. In the meantime, thank you so much for reading. Make sure to wishlist the game before the demo releases on 13th December! - Sam https://store.steampowered.com/app/3066310
