Let the communication flow!

Contain - adre

It's been a while since we have updated the game but it's for a good reason. If you didn't catch the latest dev blog we have released, please consider checking it up from here to learn what we are cooking.

Before we mention the current bugs and the next patch details. We would like to talk about the two new features that we are working on with the Discord Community. If you are not joined yet, to get in touch please consider joining our Discord. We are online, and we mostly use Discord for instant, direct communications.

Progression System is shaping out!

As may you know we are working on a progression system. We are trying to figure out how to make it simple, effective, and good enough to spend time on for worthy progress with it.

A progression system has to show how much time you invested in the game. Like, do your character appearance, or even abilities, etc, reflect your time investment or not? We think it has to so we are working on this matter. Also as we can see, seems like most of the players don't like the idea of all currently available pieces of equipment, weapons, and attachments getting into a progression system, and from time to time with a reset losing it all again and again. But, Not just for Contain, but mainly with many other games that have that progressions and resets until it reaches its peak point. This is not a small issue we are concerned about.

As you all know we have a considerable arsenal, but still a small arsenal. Even though we are working on it to expand. This means, that unlocking current equipment, weapons, and attachments with a progression system will be a very short journey. Which is, that brings us to another issue, every time we try to balance leveling (experience, etc.) for the progression system or try to set the balance of weapons, etc, etc, we have to reset it from time to time. And this is unavoidable, we will have to eventually.

Long story short, for now, we decided not to add the current equipment, weapons, and attachments to the progression system when we introduce it. But this could change, with your feedback, even change at the final reset. So, no promises for that unseen feature for now! Because even a progression system can evolve many other shapes with feedback from you!

The other new game mechanic!

Let's talk about the other new game mechanic that we are planning and working on next to the player progression system.

This one is about adding smaller anomalies into the game that players have to capture/collect (needs to be extracted). Then, you have to use a synthesizing machine in the Base of Operations to turn them into temporary boosters (we call them candies for now). Players will be able to choose one booster at a time before a mission deployment. The booster will persist until players return to the BoO.

We created a pool in our discord for this one and it's getting upvotes! To give a vote, tell us what you think about that new feature and tell us what boosters would you like to see, join the discord

A new map, and it's getting huge!

You may remember that we have announced that map before and shared some screenshots of it. But it's getting bigger and more complex. This new map is not like the others before, after this one we are considering adding more maps like this one instead of linear ones. On this one, we are planning to add a specific main mission like the old ones, but this one will have more randomized starting (player spawn) locations and a few objectives. Then you have to go to a random extraction location to finish the mission. We keep sharing more detailed screenshots later!

Screenshots are not represent the final version of the map, those are WIP.

There are several bugs, some of them is seem impossible to fix until our codebase changes, but we are still fixing the current base version of the game and those fixes keep coming until we release our first Major Patch and, we call that Major Patch as Contain 0.2. As mentioned before you can read more details about it here.

When is the next fix patch?

You can expect it on the next week. With that we will update our roadmap too, you can reach our roadmap from here. That roadmap outlines the features and content you can expect to see in the feature for Contain.

What do you get with the next patch?

With that patch, you can expect (Coming Soon);

Magcheck widget reappearing when changing weapons fix
Weapon off position at customization screen fix
Flashlight and Laser self-activation after self-revive fix
Flashlight and Laser self activation despite not having attachments fix
Flashlight and Laser self-activation after Scan use fix

Added sensitivity option for Free Look.

What are the known issues that we want to fix before 0.2 Major Update?

Stimpack bugs
Some of specific client-side issues.
Client <-> Host desync on the enemy issues. (we want to fix it, but seems like this can be left to Contain 0.2)
