Short dev update for Halloween

Hello everyone (and welcome all new Halloween players)! Some good and some bad news. The bad news is that we need more time to deliver the promised content update. The good news is, we've found some mistakes and bugs with the new content we're still ironing out to make sure you guys will receive a better experience. Also we will partake in a sale, so you can buy The Flock with a discount. Just a quick update on how things are faring. - The new map is nearly done (exciting!!), we're in the phase of playtesting the final build of the map, making only minor changes. You should be able to play on the new map 'Bridge' fairly soon! - The new game modes are somewhat further along the line. They proved to be incomplete/not working correctly. They still need extra testing and fixing. - Soon after Halloween during the month of November we will start releasing these content updates starting with the new map 'Bridge' and followed by the first new game modes. - We've made notice of people that bought the game before Halloween. We're still figuring out a way how to deliver our thought out 'thank you package' to these people. We thank you for your support and understanding. Honestly, the responses have been very kind and humbling. Vogelsap.

The Flock

The Flock is a first-person asymmetrical multiplayer thriller for 3 - 5 players. You get to play as one of the agile monsters that make up the Flock. Competing against the other monsters, you need to find and claim the Light Artifact. The player that finds the Artifact transforms into the Carrier, a slower and vulnerable humanoid. Only the Carrier can win the match. The game will feature three distinctive maps with their own tactics and level mechanics.

As the Carrier you need to fend off the Flock by shining your light upon them as they are attempting to gain the Artifact for themselves! The Flock are vulnerable to the Artifact's light, but turn to stone when they stand still; rendering them immune to the power of the Artifact.

When you are one of the Flock you must use your increased movability to find the wandering Carrier. Stalk it, frighten it, and pounce when the moment is right.

Population

Unfortunately the game didn't do well enough for the population to decrease in any way worth mentioning. Vogelsap ran out of money a long time ago, and therefore the server that keeps track of the population run out too. We said we would rather go down then change our philosophy for this game. Well.. it became the first thing; we went down.

Please read our FAQ regarding the population to learn more about what it was that we were trying to do.
