Normandy Campaign
Recently we released our Normandy Campaign, we worked extremly hard on it for more than 9 months and we are happy to see that it recived quite a lot of appreciation, so thank you a lot for everyone who decided to play it!

Modding support
Thanks to the support received with the Normandy campaign release, we can now start working much more deeply into modding, and in fact, we started making some first modding tests that gave great results. I think it's fair to expect a first modding system to be ready within a couple months.
The first batch of modding system will mostly focus on allowing adding new content to the game such as:
•New weapons (with their own new sounds and animations).
•New Vehicles.
•New props & buildings.
•New uniforms and clothing.
•Voice actings.
Right now we can't confirm the possibility to modding vanilla content for many many reasons, however allowing for adding new content should still give much more freedom anyway. Also later on we will allow for adding even more modded content for sure.
Extra informations
In case you didn't know we have defined a precise roadmap for the next months of development and you can read it here.
We keep improving all features of the base game and as always we will be going on listening to suggestions from people inside the Steam Discussions and the Discord server.
The updates for the base game we are constantly releasing are very expansive, so if you are interested on giving us a hand to make a better work, this is our Patreon. All the money raised from this will be spent to make a better game.
Thank you all,
Marco
