After some trouble with scheduling in the past we've finally scheduled with Valve our first Free Weekend with a 75% Discount of our first Indie title Contagion. We highly recommend that you play Contagion this weekend and if you've found a game that satisfies your Zombie Apocalypse fantasies and to quote Romero himself "Finally" hope you'll take advantage of our discount and be here for all that is to come, if not we would like to thank those who took the time to give our game a go and hope you'll follow our progress.

Many of our community already know what to expect with a dedicated team of developers who are putting out consistent updates, bug fixes, and listening to feedback that impacts future improvements. Will be continuing to release new content as well as our Free DLC Bundle's (2 are planned at this time) that include in each 4 New Characters, 4 New Weapons, 2 New Maps, and 1 New Game-Mode.

Our updates are not limited to just content as we're moving forward with our new Mocap Animations on completion of our new layered animation system built from the ground up, further improvements to performance that is always changing our System Requirements, Ability to play with your friends via a Lobby system, Ranking, Stats, New Achievements, Customizable Cosmetics, and Unlockables for Co-op play.

For those new to Contagion and not yet up to speed via our Streams, Videos, Guides, and Forum Posts the following information may help! (PRESS F1 in-game to display your binds)

• Escape (CE_ Prefix)
  
  • In Escape you can play up to 8 Survivors trying to escape the location and situation you've found yourself in. With each round objectives, paths, weapon & ammo spawns, as well as zombie spawns are randomly generated making each attempt/round unique from the rest. With the spawning system you can play 100 games that are different from the first. Be sure to follow the instructions and in many cases the distance meter on your smart phone to complete objectives.
• Extraction (CX_ Prefix)
  
  • In Extraction you and up to 8 total survivors spawn away from your friends and must use your smart phone's GPS to locate each other as well as once your GPS picks up the location the place where survivor AI's are holding out and require your help to barricade, and keep the horde at bay until extraction arrives where you'll need to lead them to and will be rewarded with ammo and weapons. Each holdout is randomly selected as is the number of survivors you must rescue. You lose one of two ways, all AI (even if you only have 1 to protect) die or all Player Survivors die. If you clear out all locations you win.
• Hunted (CH_ Prefix)
  
  • In Hunted you've been consumed by paranoia, greed, or believe survival lies in the resources you can gather off the corpses of other survivors. You can play up to 8 or 16 players in this game-mode (Depends on server) and you score points for Killing AI/Player Zombies, Survivors, and being the last man/woman standing. You can camp it out, team up, or like most of us enjoy hunt down all survivors hoping to be the last one standing. The winner is the person with the highest score which carries on to the next round.
• Contagion Panic Classic (CPC_ Prefix still WIP and Inspired by our Free Mod Zombie Panic: Source which was requested by Contagion Players)
  
  • In this game mode you can play up to 8-16 players (depending on server settings) with either 1-2 survivors starting out infected with only them knowing until the change hits so watch your back as your mate may very well be turning into a zombie just behind you. Your goal in Classic is to survive a specified amount of time or kill all the zombies "spotted" in your area which your smart phone will say. There are no AI Zombies, just former survivors who've been infected or have died. Each Player Zombie death drops the number while each survivor turned zombie raises it by one. If the number of zombies spots hits 0 and all zombies are dead you also win.
• Contagion Panic Objective (CPO_ Prefix still WIP and Inspired by our Free Mod Zombie Panic: Source which was requested by Contagion Players)
  
  • In this game mode you can play up to 8-16 players (depending on server settings) with either 1-2 survivors starting out infected with only them knowing until the change hits so watch your back as your mate may very well be turning into a zombie just behind you. Very much like Escape you must complete a series of objectives but this time without any AI Zombies in your way. Instead you're left fending off those who have turned (Player Zombies) and there is no limit to how often they can spawn, just their numbers which grow as players die. Your smart phone again describes your objectives.

We've got numerous maps in the making, our Free DLC nearly there, new weapons, a significant number of bug fixes and tweaking to the existing system, and more on the way. If all goes as planned we're to be on the Steam Front Page for a Free Weekend with Discount for those that can't afford full price or those that want to get a taste before buying/not buying.

Also, a bit delayed but I've been squashing bugs left and right thanks to our PTs and the community but here is the latest update of our Official Contagion Web Comic and it's about time things started to pick up don't you agree?





Hope to see some of you this weekend and will be starting up our "Friday Frenzy" stream ASAP!

Been a hectic month and with it we should be seeing some significant substance! Our programmer is still on his way back with some important updates but we're excited for September and more importantly October! A lot will be happening all at once and organizing it all has done a number on us.

Expect a more in-depth update soon!

Here is this weeks update of "Break Down" from our weekly Official Web Comic.





Week 7 is just the tip of the iceberg as it all comes crashing down and the infected show who's in charge. Week 8 (3 page slaughter) will go out earlier this week and 9 to follow with fewer delays as well!

Greetings community,

We have been through a lot in terms of development with you the community and also regarding the apocalypse. However, it is with a sad heart that due to on-going unfortunate life changing reasons that I must pack my bags and resign from team Monochrome. You all have been a fantastic community and I really do thank you ALL for the support and kind words you gave us. Also thank you to every developer at Monochrome, you have been a pleasure to work with!

Take care and good luck! [Don’t get bitten!]

Kindest Regards,

JoeH04
