- 1.0 Delayed until August 11 - 17 July 2023
Okay so, bad news I'm afraid. We gotta delay, LAST TIME, I SWEAR. But trust us, it will be totally worth it. In short, the game is complete from start to finish. We technically could release now, but we felt we need a little more time to resolve a lot of other things. We are not 100% there with some of the optimization and level flow. The multiplayer suite is still a little rusty (needs more options) and the amount of bugs I've encountered in the campaign I feel are a little much. That, coupled with the last delay of Ep 3 Part 1, had a flow on effect with this one Another reason for the delay, and I usually don't bring up my personal life, but my partner and I recently had a baby girl! No, we didn't call her Ripper in case you were wondering. Any time I had left till the 18th deadline has been slowly sucked away as I've been coming to grips with fatherhood (babies are hard)! Apologies f…

Telefragger. A sniper rifle that teleports you into the enemies to gib them from the inside out. Why would you ever use anything else? Oh, right. Because you'll also be able to ride this beauty. Duke's bike ain't got nothing on this. Are we sure this is Paradise? Not much to say here, but here are some of the places you'll be sliding and shooting your way through on Monday. Target Practice And some of the enemies. Remember the blade-legged runner from a few months ago? This is what he looks like now. This fella's got a fresh coat of paint too.
