Hey Everyone,
As the summer is nearly over we are back to active Early Access development on the Plague, with regular updates planned for every other week.
First of all - we have to apologize for the delays with release of the Dead Rising DLC. We hit a few snags and very busy August production schedule. Right now we are looking at finally releasing it later in September. And to confirm it will be automatically added to everyone who owns the game.
Now lets take a look at today`s large update. First and foremost we have finally redesigned the combat to address a lot of player complaints. Units now fight each other instead of swinging weapons in the air while standing meters apart.
This update also brings some solid improvements to GUI, improves various diplomacy issues, and also completes Spanish and Italian translation.
We also re-balanced the early game making it a lot easier to get started.
Meanwhile, lets take a look at Update # 4 (v0.19)
