Affliction,
That's right, the time has come!
Affliction is now fully released! There will probably be another patch or two to fix some issues or bugs here or there, but the storyline is finished and ready to be enjoyed all at once!
It's been a long journey, and I wanted to thank each and everyone of you who has supported me along the way. Affliction wouldn't be what it is today without all of your help!
I will be updating the trailer this coming week when I have more time, and transition the store page from Early Access to Full Release once I finish with the bug testing and fixes that may be necessary.
With this update comes the weapon swapping feature for melee weapons which gives you greater control and customization so you can pick 1 of the 3 melee weapons in the game. Same goes for the shotguns. Also introduced are "Nightmare/Insanity" maps which add new playstyle features to the game and heavily infer that your character is going insane. When the game was initially released, I wanted to show that the character had issues from the drugs given to him during the experiments but didn't know exactly how to portray that. This is no longer the case.
Another change was that I felt like ending the game in the 6th chapter didn't really make much sense and I wanted to give the ending of the game it's own title and playstyle. So, Chapter 7 - Riddance was born. Instead of just 6 chapters, there are 7.
