Screaming Steel - The Endgame Update
Hello Screaming Steel players! After having spent roughly a year and a half working on this, we are happy to announce the release of our aptly named Endgame Update this Thurday, July 22 at 6PM UTC. On launch day you can expect to find developers and community members taking part in both COOP and PvP battles on the various servers running the mod. Endgame contains heaps of new content as well as updates to gameplay and existing content. There are also lots of bug fixes included. Many of the key points of the update are covered in this short trailer we put together - enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gn8xPY7rc1c As the name suggests, this is the last content update we are releasing for the mod. This does not mean support is ending completely - potential bugfixes might be necessary, and there are still small pieces of content we simply could not finish in time for Endgame.
The full changelog for the update can be found by clicking the link below. What follows are some important highlights from the changelog. FULL CHANGELOG
Set during the Battle of Lys, Bailleul is an urban map loosely based on the fighting for the town with the same name that occurred on April 13-15, 1918. British defenders are tasked with defending the town from attacking Germans. You can expect fights happening in claustrophobic alleyways, interiors and chokepoints, but its also worth keeping an eye out for machine gunners and snipers covering important sightlines throughout the map. It supports the Invasion, Offensive, Liberation, Frontline, Stronghold, Entrenchment and Raid game modes. Wed like to give a huge thanks to Radu Tanasie for making this map happen.
A new defensive class with weaponry suited for holding key points and having an assisting role during assaults. The class has access to bolt-action rifles, body armour and dangerous defensive shrapnel grenades. The class is the only one able to deploy a multi-use first aid kit for helping out wounded teammates. Press the deployable key to place a first aid kit, and your use key to gather some health. A first aid kit will heal you for 50HP and has 5 uses. It will disappear when its been used up by teammates or yourself.
A small selection of new weaponry and gear. The update contains a large amount of new weaponry - from the famous Canadian Ross rifle, to the brutal looking Dudley push dagger. Oddities like the British Pritchard-Greener bayonet for the Webley revolver and the German M13/15 Poppenberg impact grenade also make an appearence. Usable trench whistles for officers are also included - and theres still more.
With the update weve also made use of the unit system from vanilla Day of Infamy. You will be able to play as several new units on battlefields where they took part in real life fighting. The German Jgers with their distinct shako headwear are included, as well as the British 19th (Western) Division sporting pink butterfly markings on their uniforms and headgear. Many more units are included.
Several changes to the core gameplay have been made. Most importantly the accuracy of most weapons has been improved across the board - this is most noticeable with the bolt-action rifles in the mod. Class balance has also been looked at, as well as the stats for several weapons.
Weve spent a large amount of time on updating a lot of existing content in the mod to bring it up to par with our recent content. Old weapon assets have been reworked, the character models have had a makeover, and placeholders assets from the vanilla game have been replaced.
We hope youve enjoyed the article, and were hoping to catch many of you ingame after the update is released. You can find our Discord server and Steam group by clicking the banners below. After the release we will use both platforms for announcing any events being hosted on the various servers running the mod.

The team would like to specially thank the community for valueable support over the years, as well as New World Interactive for being a vital factor in the creation and reach of this project. To say its been a long time in the making would be a big understatement. Its roots goes back to the early 2000s with the creation of The Trenches for Half-Life 1, followed by WW1: Source for Half-life 2 a few years later. The original plan for Screaming Steel was quite different to begin with - it was supposed to be a continuation of WW1: Source as a regular source mod - but various hurdles and obstacles resulted in us transferring to Day of Infamy in 2016. In hindsight this was the only way the project could ever have been finished - so this decision was vital for its survival. Since the beginning weve seen developers and community members come and go, and weve had both ups and downs internally. Quite a rollercoaster all in all! Its been a huge learning experience for all of us, and were all very proud of the result weve managed to put together. This update marks the end of our journey however, and we feel its happening at the right time. A logical conclusion for the project has been reached, and were all quite ready to move on to different endeavours. We hope many of you have enjoyed our project, and were looking forward to seeing you on the ingame battlefields after this last update is out. Lastly, we feel its important that the historical inspiration for this project - The First World War - is not forgotten in all of this. While our project is a piece of entertainment which should be enjoyed, it is a poignant thought that it is ultimately based on a huge tragedy. That our project could potentially serve as an authentic learning tool about the conflict has been a large focus ever since we sat down with our first design documents. We hope we have reached our goal, and that you as a player have gained respect and an interest for the real historical event and the people who took part in it. Lest we forget. The Screaming Steel development team.

Community Update #5: Behind the curtain
[ 2019-08-14 21:53:18 CET ] [ Original post ]
Hi everyone, my name is Jon Higgins, Marketing & Communications Director at New World Interactive. Todays community update is going to be slightly different from our usual development oriented blogs and instead focus more on some of the things that have been going on behind the scenes here at New World. We hope you enjoy this peek behind the curtain and brief company update.
As some of you may have read a while back we announced we would be creating a new studio called New World North in Calgary, Canada. After a few small delays we are now set up and slowly migrating staff from around the world to the city, which is quickly becoming Canada's newest game development hub.
Our new location in Calgary enables us to pursue our longer term company vision of having a sustainable, enjoyable, best-in-class work environment for our team. It represents our new home as we look to centralize a formerly distributed team and grow with more experienced talent. These changes will allow us to continue pursuing our goal of creating critically-acclaimed, cutting edge and highly successful video game experiences.
Founder & CEO Jeremy Blum at the New World North Office.
There is still a fair bit of work to be done on the new office, however it is a significant upgrade from our old space in Amsterdam, and provides a lot more flexibility for our company to grow.
Our old space in Amsterdam, packed down ft. character artist Gabriel Fronza.
In addition to our new space we are also welcoming a few new faces to our team and hiring for several new positions. Recently we announced the hiring of former BioWare Lead Artist Michael Grills who joins us as our new Art Director, as well as ex-Tencent, Ubisoft, and Epic employee Derek Czerkaski who will be joining us as our new Head of Production.
Derek is an extraordinary talent in the gaming industry. We are delighted to add him to our team and confident he will help New World continue building our best-in-class studio. - Keith Warner, President
Some of you may have picked up on a quote from our recent press release regarding the hiring of ex BioWare artist Michael Grills:
Were taking on a new, unannounced project which requires stronger artistic vision and leadership than games weve worked on in the past. Michael is a great fit for what we have in mind, bringing lots of creativity, industry experience and strong leadership to the table. Were looking forward to having him on board and are very excited to see what hes able to help us accomplish in the future for this project and beyond. Jeremy Blum, Founder & CEO
While our development team currently remains focused on post-release support and the console version of Insurgency: Sandstorm, we are also laying the foundation for exciting new projects. Insurgency: Sandstorms success has allowed the company to not only continue to support the game, but also expand and explore new frontiers.
A while back Nick Calandra and Omar Ahmed from Gameumentary visited our offices in Amsterdam and Denver to tell the story behind the formation of New World Interactive and our journey from enthusiast modders to award-winning indie developers.
Initially planned as a one off, the documentary crew captured so much footage with our team that it will now be premiering as a three-part story over on the Escapist YouTube channel and website later in the summer.
Our team have just seen a first draft of the episodes and we feel it will give a very stripped back and raw look at everything from the ups and downs of starting an independent video game company in 2010 all the way up to Insurgency: Sandstorms release. From our failed kickstarter and almost going bankrupt, to making our first million, the series touches on all aspects of our company, including an exclusive look at an unreleased game concept that, while discontinued, also laid the foundation for Insurgency: Sandstorm

SCREAMING STEEL WINTERSTRUM UPDATE OUT NOW!
The months since our last article have been spent on finishing up the first content update for the mod. While it took longer than we first anticipated, we think youll like the end result. The Wintersturm Update contains quite a few notable additions to the mod, including co-op-support, a new map, 5 new weapons and body armour. We have also made a lot of tweaks to the gameplay, updated a lot of our art assets, and fixed a number of bugs. The following video neatly sums up the Wintersturm Update in one minute. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iF4hZtoj_jQ The update will go live on Friday, August 2 at 3PM UTC / 4PM BST / 11AM EST, and it will automatically be downloaded for you on the Steam Workshop if you are already subscribed to the mod, all the maps and our custom VO pack. The one exception is the new map Givenchy which will require you to manually subscribe to it. This map can easily be found via the main Workshop page for the mod once it has been released. Click the banner below to be taken to the mods Steam Workshop page:
One of the main features of this update is the addition of co-op. Day of Infamy has received a lot of positive attention due to the way the co-op-gamemodes play out, and were happy to finally offer this experience as part of our mod as well. All of our maps support the 3 co-op modes Stronghold, Raid and Entrenchment. With the co-op-support weve added the options of a normal playlist with regular difficulty as well as a commando playlist for experienced players looking for a proper challenge. Our commando version of co-op contains more responsive bots, Elite bots with special weapons and gear as well as more unforgiving gameplay settings. Were hoping youll have as much fun playing co-op as weve had testing it these past months.
The Givenchy map is based on the real life engagements around the village of the same name in Northern France during the winter of 1914-1915. Most notably the map is a winter one, the first of its atmosphere in our roster. The map has trenches, dugouts and bunkers, and is rather open in general. Make sure to keep your head down and utilize cover when moving across no mans land, or use the flanks and old sap trenches to surprise your enemy. If youre planning on fighting for the central capture point, make sure to bring a weapon fit for close quarters cause its going to get hectic. The map supports Liberation and Frontline in PvP as well as Stronghold, Raid and Entrenchment in co-op.
Body armour is a new addition to this mod and Day of Infamy as a whole. The armour can be worn by the machine-gunner class on both teams. Various elite bots in commando co-op also have access to body armour. The armour will greatly reduce damage taken from projectiles to the upper body. While you shouldnt expect it to hold up against large caliber weapons like rifles and MGs, its quite effective against pistols. However, the armour is heavy, and it will slow you down quite a bit. Our body armour is based on real armour worn during the war. The Germans wear the Grabenpanzer metal plate armour as well as a cosmetic Stirnpanzer for their steel helmets. The Commonwealth uses the BEF 1917 armour which consisted of layered silk and steel plating, as well as cosmetic shrapnel goggles which became a popular private purchase item during the war once trench warfare had set in.
Weve also added 5 new weapons this update. Here follows some ingame details for each of them.
The Madsen Muskete is available to the German machine-gunner. This light machine gun is a less bulky alternative to the MG08/15, making it a better fit for an aggressive player. It has quick handling and reload times, and it can also be hipfired. Some downsides to this weapon are that its magazine only holds 25 rounds, and its magazine placement obstructs your sights when aiming the weapon.
The Model 1907 SL is a semi-automatic rifle available to the Commonwealth assault class, the first and only of its kind in Screaming Steel. This rifle excels at close to medium range, and will down an opponent in a single round if youre close enough and land a hit in the upper body. While it has big damage potential up close, it suffers at range due to damage dropoff and worse accuracy than bolt-action rifles. Its default magazine capacity of 5 rounds is also a negative, but this can be remedied by spending points on 10-round magazines. A steady aim and conserving ammo is the key to success with this weapon.
The 1903 Hammerless is a sidearm available to the Commonwealth officer, machine-gunner and bomber, and its the weapon with the quickest handling stats in the mod. Drawing, holstering and reloading this weapon is a fast process, and its high firerate can make it a nightmare to face up close. It does however fire the low-power 32 ACP cartridge, making it a poor choice for targets at medium-to-long range.
The Reichsrevolver is available to the German officer, machine-gunner and flamethrower. While the revolver has brutal stopping power and is extremely cheap, the other stats drag the versatility of this sidearm down most notably its rate of fire and reload times, which are are sub-par at best. One could almost be tempted to view this as more of a status-symbol than an effective tool for combat. A good backup weapon in case you stumble upon an enemy up close, but not a sidearm fit for assaulting or taking on enemies en-masse.
Available to the Commonwealth officer, bomber and marksman, the Mk II Hand-Ejector revolver is a counterpart to the German Reichsrevolver, being cheap and packing stopping power. Historically this weapon is the Smith & Wesson Triple-Lock chambered for the British .455 cartridge which was ordered in large numbers by the British military during the war. As with the Reichsrevolver it sports a slow fire rate and reload, but its damage output makes it a viable backup weapon. In addition to all the new content weve also tweaked the gameplay and content already available in the mod. Among other things weve changed damage properties and other hard stats for a few weapons and done some tweaking to how melee weapons and player loadouts work. Several issues and bugs have been fixed to make the mod more enjoyable. A lot of weapon assets have had their art and sound updated, and all maps have had work done on them to improve gameplay and optimization. The list of all these changes is quite long, so we have compiled a complete change log which you can see by following this link: FULL CHANGELOG
For any server owners reading this article, it is necessary for you to restart your servers after the update is out in order to make it appear for players in the server browser. It might also be necessary for you to update your servers txt file containing Workshop subscription content hosted on the server. The new Givenchy map Workshop ID is 1390091959. Updating this txt is only necessary if youre not using the Workshop Collection ID for the mod which is 1455070029. If you are planning on making a co-op server for Screaming Steel, here are the playlist paths for normal co-op and Commando co-op: ww1/coop ww1/coop_commando The starting map and gamemode for a co-op server can be whatever combination you wish. For our own servers we use nimy stronghold Thats it for this article. We hope to see you on the battlefield on August 2 and the following days! Make sure to spread the news around, and join our Discord Server and Steam Group where events are announced and arranged. Were planning to host some arranged matches both in co-op and PvP in the next weeks.
Stay tuned for more content updates like this one in the future we still have things in store for the mod.

Flak Tower Update Out Now! Patch Notes and Trailer
[ 2017-12-14 16:09:41 CET ] [ Original post ]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-OF0r_HFrI
Known Issues
- The upgrade to 64-bit has been a big undertaking. We’ve been working on solving as many of the bugs and glitches we ran into as possible but there still are chances of edge cases that went under the radar. If you find yourself experiencing these kind of rogue crashes that happen out of nowhere, please get in touch with us through our support site.
- In Flakturm Stronghold, all objective spawn locations are offset by one causing players to spawn right in front of the control points they’re supposed to take. It is also possible to get stuck when spawned in a few spots. We’re actively looking into these issues.
- Bots have trouble navigating some of the areas in the flak tower.
- Maps
- Flakturm VII
- Stronghold
- Entrenchment
- Offensive
- Frontline
- Invasion
- Flakturm VII
- Skyboxes
- doi_sky10a for Flakturm VII, dark night sky
- Environment Art
- Steam generator
- Destructible blast door
- Two ammo satchels for allied and axis forces.
- Twin flak 88
- A set of large pipes
- A new set of switches, cables and lights.
- Ammo Elevator
- Flakturm trim set
- Concrete door frame trim set
- Music
- Added new menu music track called “The Flak Tower”.
New Features
- Updated engine with 64-bit support for Windows and macOS. This should improve stability on 64-bit systems.
- Implemented a new moddable plantable objects system
- Introducing a new mechanic that allows Support classes to plant ammo satchels for their allies to use. To place an ammo satchel, hold down the Quick Select key (by default: G) to plan the placement of the satchel then let go of the key to plant it. You can cancel the planting process by starting a sprint or aiming down sights in case you’re caught off guard while placing satchels.
- Be careful! Ammo Satchels can be damaged and used by either team. (this may change in the future)
- Implemented a new quick select
- It is also possible to cycle through your Quick Select abilities by tapping the Quick Select key. In the official maps you only have access to one type of plantable however, so this currently only applies to mods that give you multiple plantables.
- Quick Select abilities can be seen both on the inventory screen for classes that have them and on the HUD on the left side of your ammo counter.
- Quick Select abilities incur a cooldown period of 10 seconds after being used.
- Active XP Boosts are now visible on the map voting panels.
- Added debug console variable for mappers named sv_debug_mapdatabase 1 that allows them to locally to visualize map script data.
- Map scripts can now specify if they want an extra slot to be available for a specific class template.
Updated Features
- It is now possible to pick up an extra grenade when you are already carrying a grenade of the same ammo type. Note: You can’t pick up more grenades than you can carry.
- Removed sw1917 class restriction.
Updated Content
- Various props and textures were updated during visual polish passes of several maps.
Coop Changes
- Merged the cooperative playlists to avoid spreading players across numerous campaign servers during low population hours.
Map Changes
- Brittany
- Cut off multiple sight lines into the US spawn.
- Opened up warehouse next to objective C.
- Added overhead cover above objective C.
- Added a concrete wall surrounding the German bunker to prevent people from spawn-killing German forces as they exit the bunker.
- Added a secondary entrance into objective B’s upper floor.
- Added a new entrance into objective B from the outside catwalk.
- Added a defensive position to objective B’s lower floor facing the the bridge.
- Fixed a spot where you could look into a gap in the 3D skybox.
- Swapped some of the burning metal barrels with regular barrels.
- Optimized various areas.
- Dunkirk
- Visual polish pass, decorated multiple interiors.
- Salerno
- Visual tweaks and minor polish.
- Shooting Range
- Corrected typo in the TNT hint description on the Shooting Range.
Bug Fixes
- Updated foliage cluster light fetching routine to use ambient light instead of polling lighting conditions at every cluster corner on load to remove visual artifacts.
- Adjusted ragdoll animation weights to reduce some unintended situations in which ragdolls would flail their arms too aggressively.
- Fixed a bug that made it impossible for players to equip flamethrowers using a preset.
- Fixed a bug that caused the description divider line on the main menu to remain frozen in place after turning on the Legacy Server Browser in the Game settings.
- Fixed unlocalized hint confirmation string.
- Fixed animated ragdolls not caching activity indices on spawn.
- Fixed bug that let people use $ignorez by forcefully reloading materials in singleplayer before joining a multiplayer match.
- Fixed some weird text alignment behaviors in the UI code.
- Fixed bot spectating bug on non-solo servers that have spec_allow_bots enabled.
- Fixed crash caused by firing white phosphorus rockets directly at players. (Hopefully for real this time!)

Previewing the Flakturm Update
Our new map, Flakturm is based on a series of German anti-aircraft towers (otherwise know as flak towers) built during WWII. Our tower is modeled after the Flakturm VII G-Tower in Augarten, Vienna. The area outside the flak tower is inspired by the urban area surrounding Flakturm V in Stiftkaserne, Vienna. Flakturm VII was the 3rd generation of flak tower design. It was originally equipped with eight 128mm guns and thirty-two 20mm guns. This generation of flak tower could double as a bunker that could hold 20,000 people. The tower is now home to thousands of pigeons that make their nest inside the structure. Our development team was inspired by these ominous structures and wanted to use the setting to try a different style of map than would focus on indoor combat. "I was searching for a unique setting at the time to build a map around," says Day of Infamy's lead developer Christiaan Bakker. "We've had many maps that involve the traversal of urban areas, plains, hills and forests. I was hoping to find a location that would offer something new. In one of the fan-managed DOI Discords I spotted people posting some images of the flak tower in Augarten and it caught my eye. A level that involves mostly the interiors of a cylindrical tower? Moving up a massive building instead of crossing the farmlands. The gameplay contrast is huge when compared to our existing collection of maps. And it's technically a night map, the first one in Day of Infamy's official lineup so far." Instead of our traditional maps that feature an outdoor environment, Flakturm requires teams to coordinate and push together through small indoor choke-points. Engineers may be necessary to blow up certain doors, creating new points of entry for the rest of the team.
"We expect the map will probably be a pretty polarizing," says Bakker "Some people will love the high intensity confrontations they have to deal with in the tower while others may feel lost trying to cope with all the chaos." We highly encourage teams to use in-game voice to communicate which choke point they are defending or pushing. Also be sure to use the areas outside the more obvious center stairwell if you want to use flanks to breach the upper levels of the structure.
While we're big fans of Day of Infamy's Officer/Radioman mechanic, we felt it was important to provide that teams weren't just reliant on a couple players for support. That's why we're implementing droppable items such as the ammo pouch. Support players can drop ammo pouches for teammates, making it easier to refill ammo, especially in indoor areas. We suggest coordinating with your team and let other team members know when you need ammo!
In order to improve capability and performance, we've upgraded Day of Infamy's engine to support 64-bit for Windows and OSX users (Linux users may get a 64-bit update in future revisions of the game). 64-bit allows us to access more than 2GB of ram which should improve performance and stability. Modders should also see a benefit, as mods loaded on top of our current ram footprint, and 64-bit should allow users to push past the memory limit.
We'll be talking more about the changes to the game with our development team on our upcoming weekly Twitch stream Thursday December 14th @ Noon EST, so please join in for that! We'll be launching soon, so pay attention to our social media accounts for new info about the update and its release!

It's been almost a year since our game entered beta, and 9 months since Day of Infamy's launch. Since that time we've been hard at work developing free content updates and new features for the game. We've released a large number of new maps, revamped our rank systems, added new units, developed a new foliage system and were lucky enough to be featured on our own Steam free weekend!
It's important to us to continue to support the community and our games by releasing with free content updates. In that spirit, it's time to take a look at what's coming in our last free update this year!
New Map: Flakturm
Our new map, Flakturm is based on a series of German anti-aircraft towers (otherwise know as flak towers) built during WWII. Our tower is modeled after the Flakturm VII G-Tower in Augarten, Vienna.

Brittany Update Released!
The new Brittany update is out now! A big thank you to everyone that came out to help test and provided us with their feedback! Here are all the new features included in today's update:
- New Map "Brittany"
The French region of Brittany was the backdrop for a bloody siege weeks after the D-Day landings. Players will fight through the map's rail-yards, bombed-out buildings and fortified bunkers. The Brittany map originally started as a community map based on the French town of Brest in the Brittany region. After placing 3rd in our community level design contest, our development team has worked with the map designers to flesh out the map for official release. - New Tutorial Mission “Shooting Range”
A new training map, designed to help new players feel more comfortable with the game's weapons before they head out to the battlefield. - Improved UI animations and sounds
- Achievement bug fixes and faster stat loading times

Free Dunkirk Update Live!
[ 2017-07-21 14:34:13 CET ] [ Original post ]
Inspired by the upcoming Christopher Nolan movie, New World Interactive is releasing its second free update for their highly-rated PC shooter Day of Infamy on July 21st. The update includes two new maps featuring the evacuation of Dunkirk and battle of Breville.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyRw7qqG184
“Our Dunkirk map offers a unique gameplay perspective by inverting the flow of battle so it ends on the beach instead of starting there,” explains creative director Andrew Spearin.
“The Miracle of Dunkirk” was one of the biggest turning points of WWII. With the fate of the Allied forces hanging in the balance, a flotilla of civilian crafts helped evacuate 338,226 troops that were cut off and surrounded on the beach of Dunkirk, France.
The update also includes another new map that focuses around the Battle of Breville; in which paratroopers from the British 6th Airborne Division successfully liberated the small village of Bréville-les-Monts in France, just days after D-Day. The battle was dubbed “one of the most important battles of the invasion”.
“The Breville map highlights our new foliage system while the gameplay is highly intense from extensive testing in collaboration with our community,” says Spearin.
The free Day of Infamy Dunkirk Update includes:
New Map: Dunkirk – The Wehrmacht push back the Commonwealth forces to the beaches as they capture the town.
New Map: Breville – Allied soldiers attempt to capture this sunny French town during the invasion of Normandy.
New foliage system – Grassy fields add an immersive layer of concealment to many of Day of Infamy’s maps, improving the graphic fidelity of the Source engine.
The launch will coincide with a Twitch livestream on Friday, July 21st @ 12:00 EDT on New World’s Twitch channel. New World has been refining both maps with the community on the stream over the last month. Footage of those tests is available on New World Interactive’s YouTube account.
Day of Infamy started in 2015 as a mod for the Steam Top Seller Insurgency, created by the developers at New World and members of their modding community. Since then, New World has worked hard to stay true to their design roots established by Insurgency, but also shaped Day of Infamy into a unique World War II shooter that can stand on its own. To date the game has sold over 200,000 copies and has led the WWII shooter revival.
Day of Infamy is available for purchase on Steam, The Humble Store, as well as a variety of other digital PC game retailers.

Aussie Update Preview
In March 1945, Allied soldiers had pushed all the way through France to the German border. They crossed the Rhine river and surged into the German industrial heartland to fight for two more months until VE Day. A brand new map, Rhineland created by JakHalz, was the runner-up in our Gamebanana & Mapcore DOI Mapping Content. We previewed the map on our blog, with more screenshots and photo spheres from Sketchfab.
We are introducing two Australian units to the Commonwealth faction. On the map Crete, the 2nd AIF is available for anyone to select while playing as the Commonwealth team. This unit features the iconic Slouch Hat for the Officer class with authentic Aussie voice acting for all classes. The 2/17th Battalion is an unlockable unit that features the same voice acting and Slouch Hat for all classes. Check out the full preview on our blog and another awesome Sketchfab render below: https://sketchfab.com/models/5d4a4a07b32647d1acecd7cd31b73b08
Another Aussie addition is the Owen Gun SMG available for the Commonwealth faction when Australian units are on the map. Both the Officer and Assault class have access to the Owen. https://sketchfab.com/models/f4baed8c997a473494163975626ac179
In addition to the two Australian units, we have more new units! For the Americans, the 761st "Black Panthers" Tank Battalion that features a tanker helmet and goggles. For the Commonwealth, The Black Watch add a common Scottish unit to the faction, with a black glengarry and hackle for the Officer while all ranks receive a balmoral with hackle. Finally, for the German faction, the 272nd Volks-Grenadier Division features a new camouflage. For more details about these units, check out our blog post and see the characters in this Sketchfab render: https://sketchfab.com/models/15300cba72c745658fbdca1949a3cf87

We are releasing an update to Day of Infamy today to add two new maps Crete and Foy, new and improved coop and PvP game modes, better optimization, visual improvements, balance changes, and more. Full changelist below:
New Maps
- New map “Crete” formerly “Mercury” by The0rthopaedicsurgeon winner of the DOI mapping contest.
- New work in progress map “Foy”.
New and Improved Modes
- New and improved cooperative modes
- NEW: “Raid”
- In this new mode there are many possible objectives in the area, but three are randomly selected each round. The objectives range from capture points, to assassination targets, to destructible objects such as fuel dumps and artillery batteries. Securing, eliminating, or destroying a target will respawn dead players on your team.
- “Stronghold”
- Stronghold has evolved to take advantage of new types of objectives, such as destructible fuel dumps, artillery batteries and officers to assassinate. The mode has been changed to support any number of active objectives within a particular phase, instead of always being two.
- “Entrenchment”
- Entrenchment has been changed to focus on one defense position at a time instead of two. This increases the intensity of the mode as the enemies focus on attacking a single position.
- NEW: “Raid”
- New and improved limited life multiplayer modes
- NEW: “Firefight”
- Firefight is a highly popular mode from Insurgency which we decided to bring over to Day of Infamy. Teams battle over three objectives and receive reinforcements only after capturing.
- NEW: “Intel”
- Intel is a work in progress single life mode where one team must return found intelligence to their home base while the opposing team attempts to intercept them en-route.
- “Sabotage”
- First introduced in the last update, the mode has seen balance improvements and now utilizes fuel dumps as the first two objectives, with the final objective being an artillery battery. Fuel dumps are easier to destroy than artillery batteries. There are also now restricted areas, to prevent spawn camping.
- NEW: “Firefight”
Performance and Stability Improvements
- Texture streaming
- Player and weapon textures will now only be loaded on-demand instead of remaining resident in memory resulting in much lower memory usage and increased performance.
- Theater specific unit and model loading.
- Models, weapons and units will now only be loaded in accordance with the theater on a per map basis to prevent wasted memory usage.
- Air support optimization pass to fix stuttering and fps drop.
- Implemented D3D9Ex to improve memory usage and improve alt-tabbing speed in full-screen.

- New thickness and translucency maps for characters heads (sub surface scattering).

Special Testing Event: 40 player server support, new playlists and game modes
The new Battles playlist features a higher player count of up to 40 players which we hope to test for both balance and performance. The playlist features Frontline, Liberation and Offensive modes, all of which contain changes of their own. The new Special Assignments playlist supports up to 20 players and features more tactical game modes, including the new mode Sabotage (which has been updated) as well as the introduction of the popular Insurgency game mode Firefight.
Stronghold and Entrenchment modes in coop have seen major changes. Stronghold now features new objective types such as destructible Flaks and Fuel Dumps, as well as Assassination Targets. Entrenchment is now more focused and intense, focusing on defending a single point at a time instead of multiple. The cooperative servers will also be featuring the new game mode Raid, which selects 3 random objectives each round, which must be discovered and subsequently attacked in whichever order the players choose. We are looking for feedback on the mode before it's released publicly.
Fallschirmjagers and Canadians are now the default units on certain maps to reflect the historical nature of these battles.
We've made several level changes to many of the maps based on feedback and balance data, including Ortona, Reichswald and Bastogne.

Today at 3pm EST we will be conducting a large scale testing event to help stress test new features and modes. The test will take place on the "Beta Branch" which can be opted into under Game Properties -> Betas. We will be hosting numerous servers for this event, both multiplayer and cooperative. The multiplayer servers can be found under the "Official" section of the server browser, while the cooperative servers can be found under the "In Testing" section of its respective browser. We are hoping for a large turn out so we can properly determine whether our servers can handle the 40 player load. If you are free to join, we hope you will accompany us for this special event! We will be testing:

DOI Map Contest Winners
A Beautiful medium sized map with a strong setting and theme. The level has a high fun factor due to its significantly designed objectives. The fort is an excellent example of that, the moment you're pushed back by the enemy to protect the airfield it feels like taking part in a WW2 movie. Lighting is solid, but the bloom is a bit too much, especially when exiting an interior your eyes have to adapt to the brightness which can be a bit frustrating at times when fighting off the enemy. The overall art direction of this map is stellar, and the attention to detail is exceptional and deserves a lot of credit.
Well executed industrial themed map. The warehouse and factory interiors are well done. Some of the interiors could benefit from additional props to improve their authenticity. Lighting is stellar, good contrast between interior and exterior areas. Gameplay is great overall. However, due to the large scale of this map, some of the areas feel a bit to open and hard to cross. Overall the map is a lot of fun to play and easy to memorize due to its strongly defined areas.
The art in this map is awesome and goes greatly with the theme. There are many memorable play spaces that help the player to navigate through the map more easily. The dock is a great example of this. Also, the 3dskybox adds an extra dimension to the map look and feel. Gameplay is great overall but suffers a bit from linearity. The objectives are well designed but lacking some strong defensive positions. Also, spawn placement could use some work to avoid spawn camping and to improve balance. It wouldn’t harm to extend the map a bit to give the player a bit more breathing room around their main spawn areas. Brest is a great looking map with a lot of potential, huge thumbs up for the custom art.
Icy map with great potential. The iced river and bridge is a notable area and provides the map with a strong identity. The buildings feel great overall, but they lack character and detail. Lighting does its job for the setting but is a bit behind in contrast and overly-bright in areas. The art direction could use some extra attention, texture choice and props aren't always consistent with the setting. The great design of the church is visually appealing and a fun fighting ground. Gameplay wise this map is very challenging. It's very hard for the attacking team to cross the bridge. The attacker's side could use some higher buildings with accessible floors and extra cover on the bridge. These additions will improve the balance and fun factor of this map hugely. The breakable windows is a nice extra but the amount could be reduced a bit to avoid repetition and to make it clear for the player that the windows are in fact breakable.
Unique theme and setting but needs a lot of work on construction and scale to match other maps. Most of the streets are quite empty. They could benefit from a bit more cover and detail to make it more appealing for the player to advance through the streets. The buildings look generic and can use more detail and textures, a bit more color wouldn't hurt the visual side of the map. The gameplay is solid, and firefights are quite memorable when fighting from building to building. The dusty feel helps with selling the setting and makes it a lot more intense when bullets are flying around your head. Something to consider is to replace the church with a different structure, maybe a hotel or something else that fits better in the environment. Overall Tobruk has a lot of potential, and we hope to hear more from it in the future. Check out the other finalists in the contest in this post. You can play all these maps by subscribing to them on Workshop.

The judges from New World have selected the winners of the Gamebanana & Mapcore DOI Mapping Contest, sponsored by Corsair. Congratulations to all finalists, as it was a close finish and required multiple playtests to ensure we discovered the essence of each map. We have assembled a countdown trailer (see above) to announce the winners and to demonstrate their environments and gameplay. Outlined below are the winners and feedback from our lead level designer Jeroen Van Werkhoven.
1. Mercury
A Beautiful medium sized map with a strong setting and theme. The level has a high fun factor due to its significantly designed objectives. The fort is an excellent example of that, the moment you're pushed back by the enemy to protect the airfield it feels like taking part in a WW2 movie.

The overall art direction of this map is stellar, and the attention to detail is exceptional and deserves a lot of credit.

While the five runner-up maps won't be tested today, they remain on the map contest servers for players to enjoy in the coming weeks. Our lead level designer Jeroen Van Werkhoven has looked at each map and offers his invaluable feedback to help improve their work: Alps Strong setting and a good looking map, but a bit rough around the edges. The rocks in the foreground seem a bit too much manmade. I think one the elements the rocks can benefit from is better materials and depth. Blending the rock material with grass will improve the overall quality of the map even more. The big tower adds a lot to the vertical feeling of the map. However, it would be great if it was accessible, maybe not all floors but just a few good spots for snipers and MG to improve the overall fun factor of the map. Dianville Great looking map but struggles a bit on the gameplay side. Offensive A can use quite some work to improve the overall fun factor of the map. I suggest to open up the building more, blown out wall perhaps, but something to make the building less concealed and more approachable for attackers. The sewer system is a nice addition but can use some work from a visual perspective. The back area with the big antenna feels a bit random, maybe a clear road towards the church will give it a more realistic feel and improve the overall gameplay. Metz Great map with potential. However, some of the areas are a bit lacking in theme. Especially the farm area can use a lot of work; the landscape feels a bit dull. Maybe some trenches and creating some more fleshed out fields with crops could give this area a better overall feel and will also improve level flow and balance. The town could use some extra detail too. Mainly decals and different windows will go a long way to improving the overall feel of the town. The church is a great spot, both from visual and gameplay perspective. Interior lighting feels a bit flat; especially the church can use some warmer light colours. Normandy A map with a strong architectural setting and feel. The town layout is solid and a lot of fun to fight through. One of the elements this map could benefit from is more dirt and a stronger art direction. Some of the buildings are looking brand new and lacking a bit in making the map feel like a war zone. Decals, more broken walls and more suitable materials can help a lot for immersion. In some of the areas the map feels a bit like a theme park because of its joyful colors. Also on the gameplay side, the map could use a few more adventurous elements, roof access, and accessible church tower will make it even a more fun map to play. Westwall Overall the map feels great, but it suffers a bit from its large scale. Performance makes the map a bit less fun than it could be, this mostly caused by the huge amount of trees, props and geometry. Reducing the amount of detail on the map will help quite a bit for performance and also improves the readability of the map. Also, the trees don't fit well in the area; they're too green and breaking the feeling a bit of a cold snowy environment. The Axis base feels very convincing with the barracks and watchtowers and has great gameplay. The interior lighting throughout the map can use some work, but mainly the church could benefit from some warmer light tints.

Today we are releasing a hotfix to address some major issues with cooperative that have been present since the Beta release. We've been working hard into our holidays to make sure our players have the ingame experience they’re meant to have.
Fixes
- Fixed major bug in Stronghold and Entrenchment causing the “Next Objective” to not reset when the round restarts. This would make the next objective that’s unlocked usually the wrong objective after the round restarts, assuming there was progress made in the previous round.
- Fixed bots spawning under the map in Bastogne cooperative modes.
- Fixed bad spawn locations in Bastogne cooperative modes

Dec 24 Hotfix
[ 2016-12-24 18:31:48 CET ] [ Original post ]
We have released another hotfix with the changes outlined below. There remain some outstanding issues that we are aware of, however we are busy taking some time with family and friends for the holidays following a very busy crunch period. We hope you understand that we will get to fixing many of the other bugs as soon as possible.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed a client crash when entering the outfit selection menu.
- Fixed issue with bolt-action rifle stripper clips.
- Fixed issue where Grease Gun and Sten stocks would be missing when a sling is attached.
- Fixed issue with number of rounds ejected on half-empty reloads.
Map Changes
- Bastogne: Add additional Entrenchment objective.
- Reichswald: Fixed capture zone.
Other
- If gloved hand view models are not defined for a class they will fall-back to normal hand models. This will fix maps set to cold weather that also feature Commonwealth Forces.

Day of Infamy enters Beta phase
Official servers are now tracking player stats, that can be viewed in the Profile menu. There are several rank levels to attain, and when you advance, your character model will display the arm patch of your rank. Upon the game's full launch, stats will be reset for all players.
With the introduction of stats and rankings, we have created a system to reward players with an unlocked Unit inventory item when they rank up. These Units will be strictly cosmetic, adding diversity to each faction and expanding historic representation. With the beta release, we are providing one Unit per faction exclusively to our Early Access customers. Anyone who buys the game after launch next year will not be able to obtain these Units, unless they are traded for on Steam. These "First Wave" Units are based upon units that served during the outset of the Second World War: Gordon Highlanders (Commonwealth), 1st Ranger Battalion (U.S. Army), and 1.Infanterie Division (German Wehrmacht). We already have several more Units in progress, such as Fallschirmjäger, 101st and 82nd Airborne divisions, 92nd "Buffalo Soldiers" Infantry Division, Canadian regiments, Australian regiments, Indian regiments, and even more planned.
The addition of air support brings a new level of intensity to each battle. All factions now have a Carpet Bombing option, while the U.S. Army have a Mustang strafing run and the Germans have a Stuka dive bomber, with their fearsome siren.

The latest milestone in Day of Infamy's development has been reached, as we move from Alpha phase into Beta. Thank you to our passionate community, who provided feedback through our surveys, forums, and analytical data that enabled us to make some major changes. Maps such as Bastogne and Reichswald have been overhauled, improved balance to player classes, performance improvements, and various bug fixes.
We are also introducing several major features, such as stats and rankings, the unit system, air support, and new game modes. New shaders for characters and environment materials have boosted the graphic fidelity of the Source engine. As we move forward into the Beta phase, our focus will shift from experimentation to finalization. We will polish the visuals, improve the user experience, and finalize content.

Want to test upcoming contest maps? See here!
[ 2016-10-20 20:49:10 CET ] [ Original post ]
On November 6th, we will be hosting a playtesting event for the upcoming Day of Infamy community map contest levels. The deadline for submission of your map to be included in this testing (not the final deadline for the contest) is November 3rd. This test is not part of the judging process and is totally optional, but is a great opportunity for level designers to play through their maps with a full server.
Last month we launched our map contest with Gamebanana and Mapcore, sponsored by Corsair, and are excited to see all the great work our community is capable of. We’re already seeing some really exciting maps on the Mapcore forums, and want to give those creators an opportunity to test their maps. This testing will help designers determine map balance, get inspired with new ideas, and improve their levels overall.
If you are a map creator and would like to submit your map to be included in this testing, your map must first be uploaded to Day of Infamy’s Steam Workshop Then, you must post in this Mapcore thread with a link to your map on the Workshop. Deadline for submission is November 3rd at 3:00pm EST, at which point we will create a playlist for all the submitted maps and ready our servers to host them starting November 6th.
Remember this is not final submission for the contest. You supply the maps and we’ll supply the servers. It is not required to participate in this testing if you are entering a map in the contest.
If you are a player and want to play these maps, you will need to subscribe on Day of Infamy’s Steam Workshop to a playlist we create. You’ll then be able to start up Day of Infamy and see the additional playlist when looking for servers. Our servers will go live for November 6th. So keep your eyes open on various social media and here on Steam for when we announce the playlist is ready.
Thanks, and we’ll see you in the servers!

Day of Infamy Update September 29th
On the ‘In Testing’ playlist, you may now try dismemberment. It currently only applies to the American forces. Custom servers may enable dismemberment if they are interested in trying it, with the console command “sv_ragdoll_dismemberment”. Dismemberment will not be added to the default game experience until it’s fleshed out more and is supported for each faction.

Today we are releasing a big update with new content, gameplay balance, performance improvements, bug fixes, and a new supply gain economy feature.
The update contains multiple new weapons - most significantly the M3 Grease Gun and the C96 (both pistol and primary versions). It also introduces binoculars, which can be found under the new “Utility” slot. Binoculars can help you spot enemies far away, and also may be used by the officer to more quickly and efficiently call precise artillery.
Multiple maps have seen gameplay changes, and some new ‘In Testing’ content has been added such as updates to work in progress maps Salerno and Astonia, as well as an early implementation of dismemberment.

Day of Infamy Patch September 15th
[ 2016-09-15 15:09:28 CET ] [ Original post ]
Today we are releasing a patch with some missing pieces from yesterday’s update. We had a great play test last night on the new map Salerno, and are very excited about how easy it now is for us to test work in progress content with our community.
Today’s patch adds a new map to the ‘In Testing’ playlist - Astonia. We look forward to getting your feedback (and data) on both Astonia and Salerno over the next few weeks so we can polish them up and add them to the official map rotation. The patch also includes new modding / SDK example maps, to help community mappers create even better content.
New Content
- New map Astonia added to the “In Testing” playlist.
Cooperative Improvements
- Players may no longer destroy the final radio in Stronghold without capturing all the points prior.
Modding / SDK
- Added game mode example maps to show community mappers how to support each of the game’s modes.
- Added environment example zoo maps to help community mappers quickly stylize their environments.

Day of Infamy Update September 14th
[ 2016-09-14 21:02:36 CET ] [ Original post ]
Today we are releasing an update for the game which adds new content, improves user flow, addresses optimization, and more.
In this update we are also introducing a new way for players to test things even earlier on. We’ve added an ‘In Testing’ playlist to the server browser, where you can find unreleased maps and experimental features. We will keep servers up and running on this playlist, and schedule weekly community testing events for it. Our first ‘In Testing’ event will be today at 5:30 pm EST, and will showcase the new map Salerno. Salerno is based on the classic Day of Defeat map Avalanche. While the map is quite early, it is blocked out and we are excited to play it for the first time with you all.
One of the more notable changes in this update is with Liberation. The mode has been changed in this update to be more balanced and eSports friendly. The new Liberation also contains a supply economy that treats supply differently than other game modes, enabling players to gain additional supply as rounds progress, evolving the field of battle as a match goes on. We hope many of you will play the mode and let us know your thoughts so we can improve upon it throughout early access, and consider whether this sort of supply economy makes sense for other modes in the game.
We’ve been investigating ways to improve performance in the game and this update includes some further optimization. We still have a ways to go and will be addressing this gradually as we get closer to full release. We know many of you are still struggling with performance and we hope you will remain patient and provide us with feedback on this update whether you see any improvements or not.
We’ve been analyzing a lot of data lately and have made some map changes which should make certain experiences more balanced. We’ve also noticed based on data that Patrol doesn’t seem very popular, so we have decided to move it from the official playlist to ‘In Testing’, declaring it as a “work in progress” game mode that we either need to improve or replace with something equally hardcore. If any of you feel attached to this mode, it would be great to hear your feedback on how it can be better.
New Features
- New “In Testing” playlists to allow players to help us test work in progress levels, game modes and other gameplay before they meet our standards of becoming official content.
- New Liberation matchplay experience
- Supply gain economy
- Supply costs balanced for eSports / competition.
- Players may gain supply as a round goes on, allowing them to earn better weapons and equipment.
- One supply is earned every time you capture an objective, and every time you get 5 kills/assists. This is intentionally skewed towards objective capturing to promote teamplay.
- Tactics evolve over the course of the match as the most effective players become better equipped.
- Updated game rules
- 10 minutes per round instead of 15 minutes.
- Best of 5 instead of best of 3.
- Slower reinforcement waves (25% dead player ratio, 5 extra second deployment time).
- Faster objective capture time (30 seconds instead of 40).
- Supply gain economy
- New cooperative campaign rulesets
- Within cooperative, you can now play through an entire campaign for any of the three factions in the game. There is an American Campaign, a Commonwealth Campaign and a German Campaign, which you can play in sequential order with your friends.
New Content
- New G43 model and 4x scope optics
- New map Salerno added to the “In Testing” playlist.
Optimizations
- Optimized all player related textures, including radios, third person weapon models and fuel tanks.
- Adjusted the distance at which the player model level of details load.
- Flamethrower dynamic lighting is now disabled by default (can be enabled in options).
Gameplay Improvements
- Improved the hitboxes on all player models.

User Experience Improvements

- Added player count display to the main menus.
- Full servers are no longer filtered out by default, making people think there are fewer players playing the game than there actually are.
- Custom games are now a bit more visible as a playlist option within the Multiplayer and Cooperative server browsers, instead of being in its own separate main menu section.
- Removed difficulties from multiplayer/cooperative and have instead gone with a playlist system. Within these base official playlists servers can define whether they want death messages enabled or friendly fire disabled, which can be filtered by players.
- Officers requesting artillery will have their icons blink and grow larger for players equipped with a radio.
- New compass notifications
- Players requesting backup will draw a blue compass needle.

Day of Infamy Patch September 7
[ 2016-09-07 15:30:01 CET ] [ Original post ]
Today we are releasing a new patch which addresses some gameplay issues, bugs, and also some fixes some stats collection issues so we can continue to retrieve important analytics to help us balance and improve the game.
Thank you to everyone who has participated in our survey! We are very pleased with the information you all have provided us with, and are using it to effectively address issues and improve the game in the ways our community wants. For those who have not taken the survey who still wish to, it can be found here.
We're also analyzing a lot of gameplay stats which are helping us determine which maps, game modes, classes and weapons are imbalanced and need improvement. The changes to Offensive being made in this patch, as an example, are a direct response to the win % for the attacking team ranging between 7% and 30% depending on the map. We see this percentage as too low and needing to be addressed. For Offensive mode, we will aim to have every map at around a 35-40% chance for the attacking team to win. We still want there to be a sense of needing to overcome odds in order for the attacking team to achieve victory, utilizing smoke and artillery.
Here is the full changelist:
Gameplay Improvements
- Offensive game mode changes
- Attackers now get 5 additional waves at the start of the round.
- The percentage of a team which must be dead in order for a wave to be triggered has been modified for both the attacking and defending team.
- Attacking team dead player ratio changed from 20% to 25%.
- Defending team dead player ratio changed from 20% to 30%.
- Time it takes to deploy a wave after being triggered has been increased by 5 seconds.
- Reload speeds for the Lewis and Bren have been decreased by around 10%.
- Reduced trigger delay on Webley.
Bug Fixes
- Flamethrowers no longer drop.
- Fixed a bug where bots weren’t being kicked when they should have.
Cooperative Improvements
- General
- German and Commonwealth bot loadouts now include the Panzerfaust and PIAT. Server operators can adjust their accuracy with doi_bot_launcher_bloat.
- Stronghold allied bots take 50% of incoming damage.
- Entrenchment allied bots take 25% of incoming damage.
- Fixed an exploit where players could resupply through walls.
- Behavior
- Bots with flamethrowers who are clearing rooms will be more careful not to burn themselves.
- Bots who take burn damage will only stop attacking once they actually catch on fire.
- Stronghold
- Added a radio point that needs to be destroyed to all stronghold maps. This will unlock when all of the points have been captured. Enemies will not respawn once this is unlocked.
- Dog Red: Added an extra objective to the map.
- Dog Red: Reduced enemy bot counts once you capture the cliffs from 16 to 12 and increased their respawn time.
- Sicily: Reduced enemy bot counts once you enter the town from 18 to 12, and increased their respawn time.
- Entrenchment
- Added a “Last Stand” mode. When there is 1 point remaining, all players will respawn and regroups will be disabled. Added an extra objective to all entrenchment maps for this.
- Enemy wave timer increased from 5 seconds to 20 seconds.
- Dog Red: Reduced round timer from 15 minutes to 12 minutes.
- Sicily: Reduced round timer from 15 minutes to 12 minutes.
- Sicily: Increased enemy count from 14 to 16.
Singleplayer Improvements

Day of Infamy Update August 26th
For the next major update, in addition to various new content, one of the features we are working on is body dismemberment. It seems that one of the qualities of the game people love is its intense nature and gritty combat, so we expect dismemberment will only push that even further. We hope to have this in before Halloween time.
We’re in the design process for Day of Infamy’s ranking up progression system, as well as its competitive Liberation mode which will allow players to rank up faster. As you ascend through the game’s ranks, you will earn medals and unlock random unit badges/headgear. The unit badges would be visible on your character as an arm patch and special headgear. We are looking into the possibility of making these tradeable through Steam’s inventory system. Your profile card is essentially a trading card representing your persona. Players will be able to see the profile cards of friends and stack up against one another in leaderboards. On the back side of profile cards will show more detailed statistics of your persona.
We recently started a new official map, which is based on the classic Day of Defeat map Avalanche. The map is in an early block out stage, and will likely be tested on the beta branch at some point in the not too distant future, for those interested. If you would like to get beta branch event updates, we would suggest joining the official game group here.
The Day of Infamy Workshop has be buzzing with new content, from updated rifle sights to new maps and sound replacements there is something for everyone. If you're interested in what’s on offer you can check out all the workshop content here. Here are a few highlights: Day of Resurgence Alpha Third-person total conversion mod that explores Day of Infamy from a new perspective. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=736631377

The current update schedule for Day of Infamy consists of major content updates every few months, with smaller updates in between. We will likely do the occasional sale timed with these larger updates, as our total wishlist count on Steam is nearing 100,000 people.
Today’s update would be considered an in between update. It contains weapon / class / artillery / gameplay balance, flamethrower dynamic lighting, a new weapon, and more. It’s nothing substantial, but it makes the game a bit more fun and addresses a lot of grief people have expressed.
We are also releasing a new survey to go along with the update, so we can gather some feedback on the game and improve it going forward. We encourage you all to participate in the survey if you have some spare time. It can be found here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DOI_Early_Access_Survey_Aug_2016

The Future
For the next major update, in addition to various new content, one of the features we are working on is body dismemberment. It seems that one of the qualities of the game people love is its intense nature and gritty combat, so we expect dismemberment will only push that even further. We hope to have this in before Halloween time.
We’re in the design process for Day of Infamy’s ranking up progression system, as well as its competitive Liberation mode which will allow players to rank up faster. As you ascend through the game’s ranks, you will earn medals and unlock random unit badges/headgear. The unit badges would be visible on your character as an arm patch and special headgear. We are looking into the possibility of making these tradeable through Steam’s inventory system. Your profile card is essentially a trading card representing your persona. Players will be able to see the profile cards of friends and stack up against one another in leaderboards. On the back side of profile cards will show more detailed statistics of your persona.
We recently started a new official map, which is based on the classic Day of Defeat map Avalanche. The map is in an early block out stage, and will likely be tested on the beta branch at some point in the not too distant future, for those interested. If you would like to get beta branch event updates, we would suggest joining the official game group here.
Community Spotlight
The Day of Infamy Workshop has be buzzing with new content, from updated rifle sights to new maps and sound replacements there is something for everyone. If you're interested in what’s on offer you can check out all the workshop content here. Here are a few highlights: Day of Resurgence Alpha Third-person total conversion mod that explores Day of Infamy from a new perspective. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=736631377

Day of Infamy Patch July 31st
Added Help option on main menu that redirects you to our knowledgebase and support ticket system.
Added more loading screen hints to explain focusing, fire mode selection, what to do if you’re the last man standing, reminding players enemies can hear you, and explaining that defenders have a natural advantage which can be overcome with coordination, smoke and fire support.
[ 2016-07-31 13:16:08 CET ] [ Original post ]
Today we release another patch for the game, based on additional feedback received. This one mostly contains gameplay improvements.
Below is the full list of changes for today’s patch:
Gameplay Improvements
- Stronghold enemy bot reinforcements are now wave-driven instead of continuous. This means that when you take out a group of enemies, your squad has an opportunity to advance before more enemies arrive at the scene.
- Singleplayer enemy bot counts have been tweaked based on testing and feedback. Singleplayer missions should be a bit more achievable than previously.
- Flamethrower damage now has a falloff, so that the further away you are from the origin of the flame, the less damage you take.
- Increased the burning damage threshold needed to be set on fire.
- Support squads now have only 2 machinegunner and sniper slots instead of 3 each. Defenders in Dog Red for example, can now only have up to 4 snipers and 4 machinegunners, instead of 6 of each.
- AI teammates are now disabled in Patrol Coop and bot counts have been adjusted accordingly.
- Fixed reverse capture points in Bastogne Liberation causing you to earn more waves for capturing the near objective instead of the far objective as it’s supposed to be.
- Added ammo crates to Ortona for Coop modes.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed main menu options being cut off on ultra widescreen setups.
- Fixed a bug preventing map vote from coming up after winning a round in Cooperative.
- Fixed flamethrower incorrectly applying radial damage through walls.

Day of Infamy Patch - July 29th
Adjusted difficulties in the game. Now there are only two, and they have been renamed:
Added random gameplay hints to the loading screen.
User interface adjustments:
Radio operators will receive assist points for artillery kills.
Adjusted bot counts (both friendly and enemy) in cooperative and singleplayer.
Added “possession” feature for singleplayer, so that instead of losing when you die, you take over a nearby friendly soldier. You will lose only if your whole squad is wiped out.

Fixed crash when change level was called without a gamemode.
Fixed not being able to join coop servers due to too many bots.
Fixed being able to call in artillery with your own radio if you switched to officer during gameplay.
Adjusted rounds per minute values on semi-automatics to prevent macro abuse.
Fixed equipping the flamethrower as a US Army engineer. This was caused by the fuel tank weight not being taken into account properly.
Fixed assist points being assigned to the wrong player.
Fixed artillery kills on kill feed enabled servers showing as the weapon you have out.
Fixed “rifle grenade” selection not being removed from your inventory when you dropped a weapon equipped with rifle grenades.
Disabled tree sway for swamp trees in Reichswald.
Fixed bots occasionally spawning in the prone position.
Reduced bot counts in singleplayer to improve performance.
Fixed server-side crash when trying to transition to a map without the gamemode being defined.
Potential crash fix related to camera animations.

Day of Infamy launches on Steam early access
[ 2016-07-28 19:27:54 CET ] [ Original post ]
https://youtu.be/MGwEajYHpw0
Today marks a special day in our company’s history as we release our second game, Day of Infamy, on Steam early access. The game is available for $19.99. If you own Insurgency on Steam, you can purchase Day of Infamy as part of the New World Collection bundle at a 15% discount from the combined two games.
We are very excited about what we have to share with you all. It comes not only from hard work, but also from the passion we have for resurrecting the classic WWII action genre many of us grew up with. Since the time Valve licensed the Source Engine for us to develop our spiritual continuation of Day of Defeat, we have found many ways to make the game not only nostalgic, but innovate the genre. We are very excited to see how the public responds to the game’s fire support and radio communication features, and to see the reactions of players when they hear the screams after being set ablaze by a flamethrower.
Without further adieu, we introduce Day of Infamy, and look forward to your feedback for our work in progress game. Similar to how we’ve continually engaged with our community through Insurgency’s early access and thereafter, turning it into the critically acclaimed game it has become, we intend to work closely with our community throughout Day of Infamy’s early access and ensure the final version is truly extraordinary. We have outlined our Roadmap for early access here, for increased transparency.
The game, being in early access, does have its fair share of issues. Occasionally users will experience crashes, gameplay faults, strange AI behaviors, and more. We will work diligently to improve the game quickly and consistently as we approach the final release.
We look forward to playing with you all on the servers!

Experience intense close-quarters battles in iconic WWII settings. Day of Infamy is a teamwork-oriented shooter which aims to be a continuation and evolution of the original Day of Defeat mod released in 2001 - brought to you by the creators of Insurgency.
Strategic Gameplay
Intense core infantry mechanics and a simplified HUD create a highly visceral and immersive experience. With a reinforcement wave system tied to objectives, the game maintains an emphasis on teamwork and coordination.
Iconic WWII Battles
From the shores of Sicily and streets of Italy, to the forests of Belgium and Germany. And of course the Normandy beaches.
Historic Armies
The Allied infantry forces of the British Commonwealth and U.S. Army clash against the German Wehrmacht.
Authentic Arsenal
Depending on your team’s supply, you may customize and upgrade your gear and weaponry, affecting your appearance, weight, stamina, and movement speed. The game contains a full-range arsenal including bolt-action rifles, pistols, revolvers, submachine guns, heavy machine guns, grenades, and flamethrowers. Fix bayonets, extend magazines, or swap iron sights with period-specific customization options.
Teamwork Required
Officers can direct their team in the field. In addition to a wide variety of command options, they may call in fire support if a radio operator is nearby. Fire support options include artillery barrage and smoke screen. Local voice is used to talk to your teammates in the game, but be careful because the enemy can hear you if you’re too close. Radio operators also serve as a communication beacon to those around them, as HQ and radio operator chatter can be heard through them.
Frontline
Both teams are given the objective of pushing through the map. A team wins when all objectives have been captured, or if the time runs out and a team has majority control of the battlefield.
Liberation
To win, your team must capture all territorial objectives to liberate the area. Capturing points will gain your team more reinforcement waves. You will gain more waves by securing points behind enemy lines.
Offensive
The attacking team must capture one point at a time pushing back the entrenched enemy. When objectives are secured by the attacking team, additional waves and time is added to prolong the battle.
Stronghold
Move through enemy held territory and secure the area. Your team will be reinforced each time an objective is secured.
Patrol
Patrol the surrounding area. Be especially careful, as there are no reinforcement waves in this mode. Once your squad has reached its waypoint, you must either return to base or eliminate any discovered enemy forces in the area.
Entrenchment
Defend the line at all costs. Make sure to fall back and regroup occasionally to keep your squad reinforced.
Mod Support
People can create mods for the game that contain all new factions, weapons, and more. With Workshop support you can expect to see custom mods, weapons, player skins, maps, and various other contributions from our talented community. We are very excited to see what the community produces.
Achievements
The game contains a diverse array of achievements for players to feel a sense of progression learning the game’s various mechanics.
