Update 1.2.7: New TPS rig, new upcoming campaigns, added uniform modding!
New features: Completly reworked TPS rigs. All the uniforms have been re-skinned to a much more quality and more optimized skeleton system. Started implementing new TPS animations (for the moment no-weapon locomotion and some rifle animations). More reworked TPS animations will come every week. Added new uniform modding system. Added setting to keep reading mouse input when binded input is a controller. It's now possible to keep aiming down sight in TPS when cycling bolt. Added new grass types in map editor. Uniforms can now have short sleeve or can integrate gloves. Uniforms can now have hood and/or cover the head. Fixes: Updated Normandy map. Added more icons in server browser. Removed vignette suppression fx at easy difficulty. Added new sound fxs. Fixes in new pine trees. Fixes in DoF. Fixes in missions. Fixed switch faction button when there is no other faction. Several other smaller changes and fixes suggested on the Discord server.
After putting in a significant amount of effort, we have successfully revamped all of our uniforms for the TPS animations rework. The TPS Animation Rework aims to enhance the quality of our game by remaking all the third-person-view and AI animations. This rework consists of several stages, and we have recently completed a major milestone: a complete overhaul of our uniforms, utilizing a more refined and optimized skeleton system. This new system will greatly improve the fluidity and flexibility of our animations. Now the focus is on creating new animations for this updated rig. It's worth noting that some of the older animations may appear slightly less polished on this new rig. However, we have already introduced new and improved animations for the no-weapon pose and the rifle pose, and we have plans to introduce fresh animations on a weekly basis until all of the animations have been reworked. It's important to recognize that while our primary focus is on reworking existing animations, once this phase is completed, we intend to incorporate new animations and systems into the game.
Thanks to the revamped TPS rig, creating custom uniform mods for the game has become a straightforward process. Designing uniform mods for the game is relatively easy compared to other aspects of modding. It also provides the flexibility to design uniforms with various features, such as long sleeves, short sleeves, or even those that completely cover the hands, such as gloves or creatures that require modeling of the entire arm and hand. Furthermore, this system enables the creation of custom head models, such as hoods or unique creature faces, which can be integrated into your uniform mods. Additionally, custom vests can be designed using this system. Here is an example of modded uniform: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3045183363 If you're interested in learning how to create a modded uniform, we have prepared a simple tutorial for you: [previewyoutube=J2PUqIHkFws;full][/previewyoutube] Also remember that you can learn how to start creating all other kind of mods by watching this tutorial: [previewyoutube=PLHL02d4bBI;full][/previewyoutube] It is also it's suggested to join the Discord server where you can confront with other mod makers and with us to learn more about mod making.
We've essentially completed the development of the new DLCs for Early War France Invasion and the Late War Battle of the Bulge! We will now begin a phase of private testing that will last a couple of weeks to ensure everything functions smoothly. Afterward, we will set up Steam pages, and we'll be ready to go! Our aim is to release these DLCs by the end of the year, although we don't have a specific release date yet. To give you a sneak peek, here are some screenshots from the campaigns Early war France inavsion
Battle of the Bulge
We released the Normandy Campaign earlier this summer after working on it for over 9 months. We are very happy with the positive reception that it has received. Thank you to everyone who has played it! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2317930/Easy_Red_2_Normandy/ [previewyoutube=6lBxH8Hq2PA;full][/previewyoutube]
We officially started working on the Xbox release, we don't have much to say or to show yet, but we can't wait to give you more news!
I want to personally thank all the Nintendo Switch users who provided feedback on the latest update and the Normandy DLC. According to your feedback, the game on the console seems to run better than ever and has few (if any) worthy competitors on the platform in terms of World War II simulators, and we are proud of this achievement. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Next step for the console will be to bring the new updates and the new upcoming campaigns on the console as well!
In case you didn't know we have defined a precise roadmap for the next months of development and you can read it here. Such roadmap will be updated this year as most of the planned works have been already completed! We keep improving all features of the base game and as always we will be going on listening to suggestions from people inside the Steam Discussions and the Discord server. The updates for the base game we are constantly releasing are very expansive, so if you are interested on giving us a hand to make a better work, this is our Patreon. All the money raised from this will be spent to make a better game. Thank you all, Marco

- Easy Red 2 LINUX [2.48 G]
Easy Red 2 is the game for who knows what he wants from a World War 2 Game: Simulation in weapons and movements, historical accuracy in battles, huge maps with a lot of deployed units, vehicles dominating the battlefields and a realistic combat approach.
In this new version of Easy red we wrote everything from scratch to reach quality in game mechanics, and optimization to manage a new great looking design running even on low end machines.
And we are taking you in Italy, from the shores of Anzio, to the bombed peaks of Montecassino, and in Japan in the middle of the Battle for Kwajalein.
And we are ready to add more battles in the future.

And we are ready to add more battles in the future.
- Simulation and immersivity
That's what we want for Easy Red 2. We try to let the player feel all the emotions that soldiers live in the confusion and adrenaline of a battlefield. Explosions, devastation, orders, shot fires will be all around the player, that will be rewarded by the game not for his number of kills, but for his strategic and survival skills. - Large battles and historical locations
All campaign will take place in large Open-World maps that reproduces the real places of the fights, and battles plans are faithful to the events that have historically occurred. However, the player won't only be challenged from surviving the fighting, but could have to follow definite orders that could change the sort of the entire mission. - Squad based gameplay
No one can go to war alone; A good tactic require a good team work.
So be the squad leader, or the medic, or maybe the radioman: You will always have a job to do inside your squad.
We especially focused on creating sub-objectives that differs from main mission objectives. While the main objective of a team may be to have to conquer a specific area, a sub-objective could be assigned following the radio requests of a tank to clear its way from an anti-tank gun that has been sighted. So gameplay has radically improved in a more realistic and dynamic way. - Vehicles
War machines have changed the war forever, and World War 2 proved that in an unequivocal way, so Prepare to jump in you Panzer 4, Sherman, M3 lee, or any tank that dominated the real battles fought in the game.
We decided to let the player have a full control of the crew of the vehicles; He will be able to drive and shoot tanks, as long as there are crew members on the seats to use each armament. Also battles doesn't stop when a tank is disabled. Lot of tank crews in World War 2 had time to escape from unusable tanks and survive the battles, and so it will in Easy Red 2: If you lost your tank in a fight you will need to bring safely your crew back to your lines. - Devastation
Explosions, will destroy sandbags, walls, fences, vehicles, defenses, and the battlefield could radically change during all the fight.
Also, enemy fire will constantly suppress you and your squad. Learn how to move safely in a real combat scenario, and keep your helmet on your head. - Optimizations
We want a smooth war simulation, so we designed our own graphic style to bring great animations, textures and effects, with the compromise of having a high and stable Frame-Rate. This means that many more units and vehicles will be able to appear on the screen, contributing to the immersion of the fight.
