- New content update! - 15 September 2025
Hello, Door Kickers! We've let you hone your skills on the release content long enough, and there's no sign of Workshop activity slowing down any time soon. Seriously, we're almost at 10 Thousand Missions - those amazing modders are restless. So we guess it's time for us to get some special content out there! New Mission Packs:The core of this update is the Blast From The Past Mission Pack: This includes 9 classic missions from the first Door Kickers, re-envisioned for DK2.All the missions included were very special and dear to us, and its been fun re-visiting and rethinking them in the context of Door Kickers 2 units, adversaries and mechanics. Remember this? This is it now: If you're a veteran of the old game, let us know which version you prefer! And if you have an old favorite that didn't make the cut, let us know too! But wait, there's more! Tiny Troubles 4: Tiny maps hold a specia…

- We have a release date for 1.0! - 30 January 2025
That's it folks, we're committed on a launch date for the full game. Took a while, but we promise the year-long wait will be worth it. See you on 10 February 2025!
- Update on progress towards full release - 8 October 2024
Our dear supporters and community, A long time ago we decided to avoid releasing smaller updates and just focus on finishing the game as a whole, thinking it wouldn't take us that long. We reconned it would be more efficient to have one release instead of countless cycles of building, testing, announcements, bug fixing and so on. We knew the game was in a good spot with plenty of content and gameplay, including the RMG and workshop*. (there's currently over 7500 maps in the 'Shop). The bad news you've already seen: NO updates in a year! The good news is that with so many new additions we worked in the meantime, it will feel like a new game once released. Bottom line is development hasn't stopped, let us cook a bit more and you will be rewarded with a great game. Here's some of the things we've done since the last update: CAMPAIGN MODE Of course we've added Campaigns - in fact there's no…
- The September Intermediary Update - 13 September 2023
Hey friends, Still not ready with the final game (campaign and all) but since the stack of fixes and improvements was overflowing, we're letting some of that pressure out so you can enjoy a better version of the game. But wait, there's also some extra content! 3 new maps - 2 new Tiny Troubles and a Deck of Cards addition. New Enemies! The Rabble gang - which are really low level insurgents grabbing their pitchforks and rising up - get a hunting shotgun and a bolt action. Literally what they could find around the farm. They are not particularly good at using them, but they can hit hard when they do not miss. New Weapons! Rangers get the shiny new M4 URG-I carbine, light and handy in combat. The SAD boys get more toys: the very short RSAR - subsonic rifle rounds out of a PDW-sized carbine; the M320 standalone grenade launcher they can use to supplement firepower; the very concealable and…

- The May Intermediary Update - 10 May 2023
Hello, friends! We've been hard at work since the last update - and too silent. We've been developing a lot of new tech and features and aiming towards Full Release. Quality and Polish of the experience are paramount for us, so it takes longer than we've hoped to get to that version 1.0 release. We're not there yet! We're not ready to put most of the stuff we've been working on out there, but we wanted to release some improvements and fixes - and of course some new content for you fine folks. So here's what's new today: (There's also lots of under the hood or stuff - take our word for it.) New content: 5 New Maps can be found in the Tiny Troubles 2, Deck of Cards and Extreme Rescues 2 Mission Packs. And many improvements to the Mission Generator too! To help with Situation Awareness and keeping your squad under control, a handy panel pops down from the upper left corner of the HUD. It s…
- Dushka vs You (and some AMD woes) - 1 September 2022
We really weren't going to release a patch until end-of-September, but the latest AMD drivers screwed OpenGL games, so emergency release it is! But you also get 3 new maps, and some deadly new threats! Issues with AMD graphics cards Have you been experiencing strange artifacts like unreadable text? You are not alone! Starting with driver version 22.7.1, AMD has introduced multiple visual bugs to our game (and all others using OpenGL). We tackled as much as we could on our side, but for now you should revert to an older driver version (eg 22.5.1), until AMD gets their fix together. Issues that still remain (and cannot be fixed on our side): - very bright screen (white-ish) when the game is paused. This one can be fixed by disabling MSAA - broken in-game UI (like paths) for night missions when the NVG effect is enabled - bad performance - longer game load time - possible crashes Enemies c…
