[h1]New roadmap[/h1] We are a bit late with this, but finally we prepared the new Roadmap! Last roadmap was full of plans and we managed to complete everything except for the animations rework and the XBox version; We did complete 100% the FPS animations, but we will need just a few more months to finalize the TPS animations, while for the XBox we managed to obtain the developers kit only a few weeks ago; But apart from this, everything else in the roadmap have been 100% completed, so now we [url=https://steamcommunity.com/games/1324780/announcements/detail/3798284112488632792]prepared a [b]new Roadmap[/b] for the first half of next year, and you can read it here![/url] The roadmap doesn't contain everything we are going to add to the game, but just the most important features. Probably the biggest challange and [b]the most interesting new for the early 2024, is the complete AI reowork![/b] We have a dedicated channel on our Discord group where we are collecting all the suggestions about how the new AI should work! [h1]Kos Rework[/h1] Recently we announced a free complete rework of the Kos campaign. We will make complelty new buildings, revisit the entire map and remake the missions for the campaign. Old buildings will not be removed from the game (and so from the workshop missions), but just swapped with new and fresh buildings on the Kos map. Here's some of the modular city buildings we are making: [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37973310/3cc5603df6c820267378c949f2ca4e0d6521eff4.png[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37973310/1ab782b13c19ac42a8f3461b896f1ba3cf1c7812.png[/img] [h1]TPS Animations Rework[/h1] We're continuously enhancing the game by incorporating new and reworked third-person shooter (TPS) animations on a weekly basis.
