Meanwhile, people around us celebrating football, ice-cream and cold water to enjoy the summer, but not for us.. With our boiling heads and CPUs, we heated up the evolving summer even more, play tested hundreds of hours abstruse game-configurations, generated a faster/harder starting-gameplay and rethink the overall gameloop. A bunch of lifestreams, articles and early access-players over the past weeks inspired our work to adjust the right things in RECONNECT for an even smoother user-experience. So, what has happend in details: New Features RECONNECT creates individual time lines for each player. With every played round, the result (quit / reconnect / win / game over) will affect all future rounds/gameplay. Some players wanted more feedback in t…

• !!! 2-13f3 - critical benchmark bugfix !!! - 13 June 2021

  A big sorry for all players who bought RECONNECT after the last update 2-13f2. The HUD-Update caused an error on the Benchmark-scene activation, setting the global quality-settings to the absolut minimum. And that is totally not playable at all... But this is now fixed! The only thing you have to do is: Please go to your RECONNECT-save-data-folder C:\\Users\\%USERNAME%\\AppData\\LocalLow\\RobotHeart Lab\\Reconnect (if you cannot see the "AppData"-folder, activate Windows-option "show hidden files/folders") In that folder delete the "QualitySettings.rqs"-file to reactivate the Benchmark Start RECONNECT Let the Benchmark process finish to generate the best quality settings for your actual hardware (after it has finished, a new "QualitySettings.rqs"-file is generated) Please, contact us at the "Official RECONNECT Early Access Hub" server on discord, if you experience any bugs. -> https://d…

• Release Update 2-13f2 - HUD upgrade and bugfixes - 11 June 2021

• --- RECONNECT 2-13 --- - 2 June 2021

  Good neeews everyone, we proudly present you RECONNECT version 2-13: Over the weekend we had some discussions about our white LightKnights (your own AI-units after you reconnected for the first time and take the right choices ;) ). The Fight 4 - Existence was our first prototype of RECONNECT with a hommage to "zombie-ants" (google it, if you hear this the first time! ^^). In short, a ant-eating fungi which infects their brains and acts like a mind-controlling invader defeating whole colonies to eat even more ants. We found it profoundly amazing to see this weirdly epic behaviour and tried to build a game around it. Now, five years and a tremendous amount of projects later, our prototype evolved to RECONNECT - The Heart of Darkness and we decided to add some more juice to the gameplay, by inviting the fungi like elements back to the game. LightKnights, alias captured AI neural networks,…
