Hello! I would like to welcome everyone to the game and take the time to outline where my intentions for Early Access are, as well as ensure that you go through the proper channels for communication.
This is where the game stands currently:
-4 Unlockable Weapons
-4 Infected types
-2 Different Modes of play (Survival and Defense)
-4 Maps (One is a day/night variation with different difficulty/infected)
Plans for the game in the weeks following Early Access release
More Infected types are my type priority currently. After implementing a few more of them, I want to continue to add more weapons and a full attachment system(think lasers, scopes, etc.). Additional levels are also going to be a big priority. So far there is only one defense level, so I want to expand the game mode a bit and get an additional level added shortly after release.
After these essentials have been added, I will continue to explore ways of expanding the gameplay. I will be looking at an additional game mode in which I would like to include a form of locomotion.
Community Input
This is where I need the community's help. I would like to urge all players to go over to the game's Steam forums to get the most up to date info and leave any feedback. Even though I have my plans, the whole point of releasing in early access is to solicit your feedback and opinions of the game and what direction it needs to go in before releasing in full.
I will be keeping a watch on the forums to address any issues. If my beta testers are any indication, any time you find an issue or a bug, if you let me know about it, there is a good chance I can implement a fix quickly.
I will also be running a beta branch of the game soon that I will use to push any large new updates that could affect stability. I would also like to ask for volunteers to test any new features in the branch before pushing it out to everyone. I will put any information about the beta updates in the games' Steam forums.
In closing, I would like to thank you for checking out Containment Initiative, and I look forward to hearing from you on the forums.
