I continue working to make battles in RTS Last Front even more dynamic!

In this update, I’m showcasing the new building destruction system.
Now every structure will react to damage and gradually collapse, while bulldozers can repair it back to full strength.

The video was recorded on a new map, which is also in development.

At the moment, the system is implemented for the generator — this allowed testing and refining all the technical details to avoid repeating the same work when adding new buildings.

The destruction creation pipeline for buildings is now fully ready, and in one of the upcoming demo updates you can expect:

• destruction for all buildings,

• a new map,

• and improved AI.

Maintenance is complete! The update is now available on Steam.

We've implemented the following changes:

• Fixed co-op synchronization errors.

• Fixed issues with teleportation.

• Improved server stability.

We wish you a pleasant gaming experience!

• A bug has been fixed to prevent fast and exploding enemies from entering the scatter.

• Previously, if the language was changed upon entering the game, in-game upgrades would appear based on the previous language. This issue has been resolved.

• A bug has been fixed. Some skill upgrades had a significant level decrease, while others had a minor one.

• The bug that caused the game to crash when the elite buff was removed while the game was paused has been fixed.

• The text "Not available in demo" has been added to the other rooms on the map screen.

• The full tracking range has increased.

• The in-game tutorial videos have been updated.

• Attack speed and attack power increases have been reduced. They have been lowered from 10% to 2%.

• Lifesteal has been reduced to 1%.

• The health-restoring drop rate has been lowered to 5%.

• Typos between languages have been corrected.

Hello Survivors Around the World,

First of all, we want to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who joined the recent Steam Next Fest (SNF) and showed such incredible support for The Midnight Walkers.

Today, we have a difficult announcement to share.

The release schedule has been postponed by approximately two months.
The new release date is now set for January 29, 2026 (PST: January 28, 2026).
We deeply apologize for the delay in communicating this update.

---

The development team has carefully reviewed all feedback from both the Steam Next Fest and the July Tech Test.
After assessing the remaining time and the scale of work required, we concluded that we need more development time to properly reflect key feedback, tune gameplay, and improve overall stability.

During the October SNF, we focused on introducing new content and features. However, this also meant we couldn’t dedicate enough time to fine-tuning gameplay balance and polish.
As the director, I take full responsibility for not meeting the expectations of some of our players and take this feedback seriously.

---

The recent playtests allowed us to verify server stability, and we’ve already fixed an issue where certain sessions would abruptly close as if the server had shut down.
We also resolved numerous bugs and crash issues, while continuing to work on client-side optimization.

Beyond that, we are reinforcing anti-cheat and abnormal play detection systems to ensure a fair experience in Early Access.
Appropriate reward and response solutions are also being prepared.

Our top priority remains improving the game’s overall quality and sincerely implementing your feedback into the build.
Here are the main areas we’re focusing on during this extended development period:

---

• Class balance adjustments and weapon usability improvements

• Improving smoking feature (first step)

• Ranking system

• Item drop and looting experience improvements

• Enhanced item and gear information display

• Improved item discard function

• Trade and mailbox upgrades

• UI and mission UX improvements

• Item restoration system for unfair play victims

• Auto-fill and matchmaking pool management

• New smart ping system and Discord SDK (voice chat) integration

• New Food Court Floor added

• Replacing more objects to destructible

• Overall optimization and sound polishing

• Advanced anti-cheat measures

---

This delay is not just a schedule adjustment.
It’s a decision to honor our commitment not to use Early Access as a shield for incomplete quality.

We believe taking more time to deliver a truly refined experience is our responsibility as developers.
In the coming weeks, we’ll devote all our energy to meaningful improvements and gameplay tuning.

There’s still much we haven’t shown you yet, but we’re determined to meet and hopefully exceed your expectations.

Your feedback continues to be our most valuable guide.
We’ll keep listening, keep improving, and make sure the final experience of The Midnight Walkers earns your trust and enjoyment.

Thank you for your continued support.
