Overload (tuxdb.com)

Overload is a new six-degree-of-freedom shooter from the creators of Descent, currently under development. We're releasing in Early Access on March 13, 2017. The first Early Access release contains:

4 unique Challenge Mode levels
Infinite and Countdown variants that change the focus to Survival or Efficiency
Optional training level for refining your piloting skills
One sample single-player level (not part of the main campaign)
12 explosive weapons (7 primary weapons and 5 missile)
10 terrifying robot enemies

See below for the Full Game features, expected to release in late 2017.

EARLY ACCESS ROADMAP

Our focus with Early Access is to make Challenge Mode the best it can be through iteration, polish, and player feedback. We will also be revealing about a third of the single-player campaign with a focus on refinement of the elements present there as well as interface and level complexity/flow.
The first update, currently planned for late March/early April, will add the following to the game:

One full singleplayer level from the main campaign
One new Challenge Mode level, Hive
A new missile, Nova
Top 25 personal scores on leaderboards (in additional to Steam world-wide and friends)

We plan to do a significant update to the game every 3-4 weeks of similar size, with some smaller updates to address bugs and player feedback. Much of the story content will be held back for the full game release, but by the end of Early Access, Overload will feature:

10+ Challenge Mode levels
Multiple rule variants in Challenge Mode
XP-based unlocks and permanent upgrades for Challenge Mode
5 Single-player fully playable campaign levels
13-14 upgradeable weapons with fully functional upgrade screen in single-player
15+ robots of varying ferocity

The remaining content listed in the FULL GAME will be added at launch.

FULL GAME

When we exit Early Access and launch the full game, Overload will contain:

Single-player story campaign with 15+ FULL-SIZE atmospheric levels
12+ Challenge Mode levels with tons of replayability
Upgradeable player ship and 16 weapons with multiple upgrade options
20+ terrifying robot types and 3 massive bosses
Story by the writer of FREESPACE 2, plus pulse-pounding soundtrack
Epic soundtrack by Dan Wentz (DESCENT 2) and Allister Brimble (DESCENT 1 REDBOOK)

MULTIPLAYER EXPANSION AND LEVEL EDITOR

All purchases include the FREE expansion to add Multiplayer support 6-8 months after launch. A custom Level Editor will also be released sometime after launch. The Level Editor is currently expected to be available before the Multiplayer Expansion.

2nd Update is Live

Sorry for the late patch notes on this one. Had some people out on Friday, so we're a bit slow posting info. Build 1834 is the latest build. Here are the changes:

New & Changed Features---------------------- Added 17 new cheat codes (total is now 20). We'll probably do something like announce one new code each day in Discord.
Pause menu and end level menu shows 'Cheater' if cheat code used.
Added Valkyrie to some CM levels, and added Phantom to more CM levels.
Made [Backspace] act like [Delete] on Mac.
Post-level and post-mission results show times in line with the speedrun timer.
Added stars in the sky in 4 CM levels, 3 MP levels, and 5 SP levels.

FIXES----- Fixed an issue in NG+ with reactors doubling their health after each save/load.
Fixed an issue with doors getting erroneously locked after save/load.
Fixed a mixup with black/grey decals.
Fixed missing boss music in NG+ level 15.
Fixed issue with 'last' weapon available in CM not being randomly chosen.
Fixed Vortex and Lancer (and Timebomb in some situations) not spawning in CM.
Fixed an issue with not dying in certain situations on Linux in non-English after loading a saved game.
Fixed invisible weapons in MP.

Thanks for reading. Here's a new cheat for reaching the end of the patch notes: "inflation"
