A busy month, and a lot of exciting news to share. [h2]Milestone[/h2] First and foremost: we just hit 100,000 wishlists here on Steam! An insane milestone for us, and we're grateful to have you all here. It's encouraging to have so much interest in our game already. We're working hard to live up to your expectations, and we can't wait to finally share our first public demo with you this October. [h2]PC Gaming Show[/h2] We can finally announce we'll be featured in this year's PC Gaming Show! [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43342513/d2a6a6e5c64c18f1ffce63bb264ebfd0d67bcb9b.jpg[/img] It's the 10th anniversary of the show and we're delighted to be included in the lineup. We have to stay tight-lipped about our reveal, other than sharing that there'll be brand new, never-before-seen footage from the game, and the whole show will be well worth a watch. The show will be airing on Sunday 9 June (which is Monday 10 June for us here in New Zealand). You can catch the stream on Twitch or YouTube, and for more information about this year's event, check out the announcement here: https://www.pcgamer.com/gaming-industry/events-conferences/the-pc-gaming-show-returns-this-june/ Twitch stream: https://www.twitch.tv/pcgamer YouTube stream: https://www.youtube.com/@pcgamer [h2]Progress Update[/h2] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43342513/eb94f853922393d42a276f409fdad77cd37ca2bb.gif[/img] [h3]Firearms[/h3] Firearms are an important part of the game, but they come with a price. This last month our team has been focusing on an alert system that may bring previously unseen enemies to your location at the sound of a firearm being fired. Previously, there hasn't been any downside to a gun's power, and we want to make sure our players are weighing up every decision... carefully. [h3]Backplane Enemies[/h3] We've also been hard at work tweaking our backplane enemies. Previously, players at PAX Australia and PAX East quickly realised they were safe from "background" enemies who were just "set dressing", and it's important to us that every enemy (seen or unseen) feels like a threat, and that any assumptions of safety, especially if made on gameplay mechanics, are dangerous...
