Progress
So its been 7 months since the release of Anomalous in Early Access. A fair amount has changed since then , a lot of updates and tweaks. In the coming months episode 2 will be released which features new items , game play, enemies , music maps and more. An entirely new location with a lot of potential for new and interesting ways of creating havoc

Episode 2
Episode 2 is in progress. Its an entirely new location in an outer space setting. Anomalous Episode 1 takes place in Kosolov through its entirety and the actual location is not entirely known which I kinda like. Episode 2 introduces the grappling hook mechanic which means a lot more vertacality in maps and some more open exploration. Bigger maps in general without having endless roaming either
Episode 3
Episode 3 is not entirely decided but I want to go a bit darker a grittier with urban locations. probably will be a large mixture of everything that I have created up until that point.
Later in the game I'm throwing in a map that changes up the type of gameplay entirely , just to see what its like for players. It will be an interesting experiment.
General world revamps
Episode 1 maps are getting a nice overhaul as well. Mostly visual. I will need to redo a couple of the combat spots to give better gameplay for new AI implemented. The overhaul should improve the world building aspect and make things make more sense. Episode 1 was built off so many ideas and types of locations. Now I can create a consistency through them that makes sense. I still like the high contrast in different types of locations but I want more recognisable. Most maps will be getting a nice detail pass
Overhaul of E1M6 Kosolov Nightfall
One of the episode 1 maps I felt needed a revamp is E1M6 . its very bare-bones in its current iteration. the new revamp introduces a little bit of a cyberpunk edge. not the overkill neon we see in othergames but rather a hint of the future
