Project Downfall 27th Early Access Update is now live

Greetings Crimson Community,

The 27th Update is now live both for the full Early Access and demo. Quite a lot of polish, refinement and updated features. As usual a detailed description can be found below. Possibily a smaller update wil be dropping within the week.



We will be aiming to get a Release Cadidate ready by the end of July, so in around 2 more updates. After that it will boil down to community feedback until we get the greenlight fo v.1.0. So please keep the feedback coming, it's really helping us speed up finalising and refining the game!

0.9.27.0

-Azur plaza hub new underground section.

-Azur plaza wanted system. Active once Azur plaza open up and police patrols show up in the area. Break the law and face the consequences. With a full tier system, so the higher your wanted level, more speicalised units will be called in to pacify the unruly threat. Along with the new underground section in the hub surviving this onslaught will prove to be a challenge.

-New feature: boss skills. Now bosses and heavies will have various sets of special moves ie throwing a bottle that can stun the player, or taking out a rocket launcher and sneding off a barrage of missiles, zapping with a taser and more
