THE ROADMAP
-
Post-release fix - an update taking care of the known issues reported by the players, that slipped into the full release - Balancing update - some players, as well as some internet micro-celebrities, have brought to our attention that the game offers way to much ammo if you explore the levels 'Quake-style', and far too little if you prefer to push on 'Doom Eternal-style'. The update will take care of that issue, allowing everyone to enjoy the game in their preferred playstyle. The update will also reconfigure some of the enemy positioning, spawns, and behavior. (ETA: One month)
- New playmodes - With that taken care of, the dev team will proceed to expanding the game itself, introducing an oft-requested horde mode, as well as another playmode offering a new, and replayable PBD experience. (ETA: This summer)
- More to be announced!

THE FAN ART COMPO
Damn. You missed the submission deadline. Should've listened and followed that Hyperstrange Twitter and joined Hyperstrange Discord. There were some very nice prizes, too! But hey, you're right on time too see some GREAT fan art by some of the winners:
Yup, that's all. You can all go now, and adjust the Penetrator's moaning in the audio settings, or try if that exploit for getting a time on Suburbia leader boards was really fixed-fixed. Really, go! Nothing more to see here.
Your true friends and family,
