Affliction,
The time has come! Affliction is now entering its BETA state of development! Almost all of the backend work is done and the systems are pretty much finalized! All that's left is to clean it up and polish it, and finish the map building and the storyline!
With the BETA release comes Chapter 5 - Relapse! This new chapter brings several new features to the game as well as loads of new content! New and updated shaders, complete audio overhaul, hit sound effects and bullet ricochets, improved stealth mechanics and improved AI detection, AI ammo counter so they need to reload too, randomized enemy reaction times, and much more! Check out the full changelog below!
