I have a lot of exciting news today, soldiers!
First...
NEW DEMO UPDATE
I have uploaded a new update to the CONSCRIPT demo!
It has been nearly a year since the last demo update, so I thought I'd upgrade it to more accurately reflect the gameplay of the final game.
New features in the 2022 (0.3.0) edition:
- New intro cinematics
- Updated character designs for enemies and protagonist
- New NPCs and NPC behaviours
- Inventory visual design upgrade
- Updated menu designs and menu controls
- 16:10 resolutions
- Combat rebalance
- Improved combat setpieces
- New animations for certain actions
- Updated sound design and new music tracks
- More save files
- Object pushing mechanic
- Mounted machine gun turret mechanic
- New visual effects for fire, smoke, gas and explosions
- Updated and more detailed map
- Puzzle inspection screen is more intuitive (inspired by RE2R)
- Enemy corpses persist
- HD button prompts
- Many smaller bug fixes and improvements
If you've already played the 2021 version, this won't offer any new areas - it's just a refinement of the same chunk of the game. Saves are not compatible with the previous demo either.
NEW GAMEPLAY TRAILER
Here's the new CONSCRIPT 2022 Trailer that premiered on Duel Screen's Another Indie Showcase & Realms Deep 2022.
NEW DEVLOG
I only just recently returned from my trip to Gamescom and Verdun! You can read my recap here.
Gamescom was a great experience, and travelling through the hills of Verdun for the first time gave me a lot of inspiration for the game.
I spent a week following the old trench lines and exploring overgrown abandoned forts. CONSCRIPT is going to become extra authentic now!
As always, make sure to follow the Conscript Twitter or join the Discord for more frequent updates.
And if you haven't already, make sure to wishlist the game! It really helps me out.
Thank you, stay safe everyone!
