Hi guys! Been almost 2 months since the last update hasn't it, pretty bad for an early access game huh? Well I'd like to say first of all that I'm sorry for the time without an update, but following the (helpful) criticism from reviewers I've been trying my hardest to fix problems that were previously unaddressed. such as my main concern with the game, the hit registration on bullets. There are other things I'd like to make better before the next update, grappling and visuals and so on, although most likely these will need to continue to be tweaked, as I doubt I will be able to perfect gameplay mechanics based on only one round of feedback. All of this is to say that the next update that will come out will be focused on making the gameplay better as a whole, but this will most likely take a little while, as I would like to fix most of the current bugs in the game before I release this update. Thanks for the continued support and feedback!!! :) [strike](also if you want to access the scene on the cover hit Tab on the title screen and type "SampleScene" into the level load console)[/strike]

With the demo (that actually hasn't even been publicly mentioned until now) taking way longer than I thought to finish, I've decided to start a closed playtest for [TSN].

What This Playtest Includes

This playtest has all the levels of the first chapter, as well as all the planned weapons for the first chapter. I will try to steadily update this playtest as I fix bugs and create new content. This playtest may eventually have content from future chapters beyond the one that will be shown in the demo.

Please Be Patient

This is a very early version of the game, with many features yet to be polished and potentially many bugs and glitches that I will need to fix, the purpose of this first version of the playtest is for me to get feedback on the base mechanics and gameplay loop, but I will continue to try to make this experience as best as it can be. Remember, this is not a full release, most of the problems you may encounter while playing now will be patched out when the game comes out, especially with the help of you playtesters.

Now

START TESTING
