DEV UPDATE PRESENTED BY Psychoghost

But that's not all! As we've previously shared with you, we're working on revamping the core game mode of the game. This meant that we needed quite a lot of map restructuration and new Points of Interest on Ground Zero.

5 New Small POI :

  • 1. Hydroelectric Dam

  • 2. Old Radars

  • 3. Warheads Bunker

  • 4. Railway Roundhouse

  • 5. Wood Factory

Big POI Expansion

  • 6. Old Barracks

1 New Big POI :

  • 7. Officer's House

Many map tweaks :

  • Quarry reshape, lake reshape, road adjustments, river bed adjustments, new swamp area in burnt forest, forest PCG adjustment, various terrain adjustments, and more...

Steam post imageThese new POIs and overall map improvements will allow us to add all the new gameplay mechanics we are working on and create on much more dynamic experience overall. While we would like to share more, we prefer to go past the internal validation layer before making anything things public. However, we're pretty confident the changes and additionnal gameplay mechanics we're making are pushing the gamemode to a whole new level!
