Hey there,
It’s been a minute and this update has taken longer than expected, but for good reason...We rebuilt everything from the ground up, and The Homestead Invasion is on a whole new level. So let’s get to it.
So what’s new and how does The Homestead Invasion play?
- Well, first off (and the most important thing)...It’s a lot of fun. Feel free to join us on our brand new [url= https://discord.gg/c8ky78j] Discord server[/url] and tell us what you think!
- Our first official game mode is called Reclamation. You are tasked with taking back an outpost against all odds. New reclamation maps will be released monthly and sometimes seasonally, depending on the occasion!
- Barricading is now simple, quick, intuitive, but most importantly fun! No more tediously nailing boards. With the new system barricades area snap and in the heat of a fight it makes all the difference in the world. Barricading objects are varied and have different properties. Pallet boards are bigger, harder to find and destroy while boards are weaker but more plentiful. You can simultaneously gun down a monster while fortifying your position. Now that’s giving them the old one-two.
- Weapons are on a whole new level now. Ammo is currently unlimited but you have to take the time to reload your firearm. You now have a wider selection of weapons to choose from and use in game. They not only feel much better to use but you now have actual side holsters that are easy to use.
- Getting around. You can now choose between sliding motion or teleportation to get around. With a number of variations depending on if you’re left or right-handed. Your dominant hand controls your locomotion direction when in slide mode and teleportation is available to both hands.
- Artificial intelligence has been completely redone and now the creatures are responsive to not only the player but the player's actions both in and outside of your outpost. That’s right, you can go outside if you so chose. The monsters will try to get you in all sorts of fun ways too.
- Graphics have been completely overhauled including models, textures, and visual style.
Overall the Homestead invasion has made a big leap in progress and we now have a framework that supports quick and stable future updates! New maps and scenarios are already in the works! If you’re still reading it’s time to stop and give the new game a playthrough!
