Hello Survivors!
This month is a very stressful yet exciting month, mixed altogether. Why? Because this month we will be doing two things! First, we will be showcasing Infectonator : Survivors at PAX AUS in Melbourne, and...we are also launching our Kickstarter campaign on 27 October 2015!
So what's new on this update?
CHALLENGE MODE
We are introducing Challenge Mode! This is a new game mode, designed to be quick, tough, and nasty! You will start with 4 characters trapped in a building surrounded by hordes of zombies. The rule is simple. Survive as long as possible!

This mode is actually created for our PAX AUS exhibition. We come up with this so people can quickly jump into the game and get a first hand experience of the gameplay. Not only that, whoever wins our challenge can come home with a FREE Steam Key, Infectonator : Survivors T-Shirts, and merchandise!
OTHER UPDATES
Of course our update doesn't stop there, here are more of them!
- Reloading in HQ - Your survivors can now reload during base attacks.
- Inventory Access Fixed - Characters' inventory should not be accessible in the HQ when they are still away from the base.
- Fuel Boost Fixed - Problem when fuel boosting in the project (workshop, car, and garden) didn't work properly is now fixed.
- Character's Perks - We have added more new perks for some characters.

Why Kickstarter?
While most game studios take their games to Kickstarter first and launch them on Steam Greenlight later, we are taking a different approach. We have seen many games that were funded in Kickstarter getting canceled or took ages before players can even try it. We wanted to created a working game first, get it Greenlit, and listen to our fans as we develop it together. We want you to be able to play and experience Infectonator : Survivors first, and show our commitment in this project. That's why we've been developing this game using our own funds for almost 3 years.
Now, we are taking Infectonator : Survivors to Kickstarter for the final push! We have completed most of the gameplay mechanics, but as you can see the game still needs a lot of content (such as: stories, quests, bosses, etc). With your help we can finish the game faster and add more features and content.
We hope that we've shown you our commitment and convinced you to support us and help us make our vision for Infectonator : Survivors a reality.
Our Kickstarter campaign will go live on Tuesday, 27 October 2015 at 10.00 AM EST.
