Hey everyone! There are a ton of exciting things happening in the development of Aftermath, so we have a lot to share with you! First and foremost we want to thank everyone who checked out the demo during the Steam Game Festival! The response was immense in every sense of the word and while it's easy to be heads-down on a project and not know how the players are going to respond to it, the positive responses and thoughtful criticisms were extremely appreciated. This really put a positive gust in our sails as we're more confident than ever that we're making something you all are really going to love.

This update will largely focus around the latest addition to the game: the Sunken City. As the third sector in the game, this update adds a ton of new content in addition to continuing the story further. The Sunken City, formally known as Leighton City, was ruined by flood at some point in the last 15 years. As a result, all the buildings are collapsing and the streets are filled with dark water.

[/list] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37649519/c6595cbe4bfe339d828399f8756042005b16a7ec.png[/img] [list] [*] [b]New enemy types![/b] While we want to keep most of the details vague so you can be (pleasantly?) surprised when you play through yourself, we're delighted to let you know that the weapon-carrying infected from the previous games are back. [*] [b]New weapons![/b] New enemies are going to require new solutions. Whether you're looking for something more explode-y like the Multi Grenade Launcher or something a bit more slice-y like the Katana, we've been hard at work adding a lot of fun new options.

[*] [b]New quests![/b] We've added some new quest types and mechanics for this new area that we'll expand on as we keep adding more content. [/list] We're thrilled to have so much to share with you all. We couldn't imagine a more supportive and energized community which makes building out the game and sharing updates like this with you all the more rewarding.
