changedOffical soundtrack DLC!Within a weeks time, you will be able to purchase the first piece of official content for TC:WA. The soundtrack will come with 15 tracks that are currently in the game, with some that have yet to make the cut. You can wishlist it now, and once it's out, for the first 7 days, you'll be able to purchase it for 40% off. You can check it out HERE!
changedMap extension.As of writing this, the map extension for the asylum level is close to finishing. This is the very last piece of the puzzle that is needed before we finally launch the update. Here are some preview pictures of what it is going to look like. All that there is to do is lighting, terrain detail, some extra props, and coverage of far points.
addedMap extension.In order to get outside, you will need to find 3 keys within the asylum. 2 of them spawn randomly with every new playthrough. Depending on how observant you are, you should be able to escape the facility as early as round 10.
changedMap extension.The bronze key will spawn in one of the three staircases that lead to nowhere. Be warned, searching for this key in the middle of a round will surely result in your death. The silver key will spawn in one of the hanging body bags that scatter throughout the level. In order to take it, you must shoot the correct body bag to extract the key. If you have a sharp eye however, you will be able to tell what body holds the key. The gold key can only be taken by force. During round 10, a special golden machine screamer will spawn and come after you. Kill it in order to take that key. After you have all 3, you will be able to leave the asylum, and will have the opportunity to escape!
changedNew gun: The Battle Rifle.The battle rifle meets you in the middle of being an accurate gun, but one that is also quick to tear through lines of Screamers. As usual, it has 5 attachments that can be applied that will make this weapon more of a deadly tool.
addedNew Screamer models:Once the update is live, you’ll be greeted by a more accurate representation on the horror of what a Screamer looks like in my novels. They will replace the zombies that are currently in the game, along with some new sounds to go with them.

New gun: The Battle Rifle.
The battle rifle meets you in the middle of being an accurate gun, but one that is also quick to tear through lines of Screamers. As usual, it has 5 attachments that can be applied that will make this weapon more of a deadly tool.
New Screamer models:
Once the update is live, you’ll be greeted by a more accurate representation on the horror of what a Screamer looks like in my novels. They will replace the zombies that are currently in the game, along with some new sounds to go with them.
Leaderboards: After some testing and further adjustments, we have now got leaderboards working. Once the update is live, your scores will be publicly displayed on Steam, adding a somewhat competitive edge to the game itself. I can’t wait to see how far some people can get.
There is so much more that is going to be added in this update, but I won’t put it all up on here. Once this is live within a week or two, there’s a lot more to discover. Until then, have a good long weekend, for my Australian players.
