Welcome back to another What We Are Up To post that lets you, the fans, know what we here at Tripwire are working towards. Things have been busy here with the recent release of the Killing Floor Summer Sideshow: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioENl5cJXwo&feature=plcp">Killing Floor Summer Sideshow 2012 Trailer - YouTube</a>. As well as our upcoming move to our new offices (to make room for all the new talented people who are joining our team here, and our <a href="http://www.tripwireinteractive.com/jobs/">continued search for more</a> .

We also have an upcoming patch for RO 2 and for those not keeping track, we now have eight (8) <a href="http://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/forumdisplay.php?f=135">fully playable custom maps</a> available in RO 2, so be sure to check them out and provide feedback to the mappers as they get their maps ready for the <a href="http://www.heroesofstalingrad.com/counterattack-map-making-competition/">Counterattack Mapping Contest</a> . And if my eyes do not deceive me I have spotted at least five more in development.

Speaking of the upcoming RO 2 patch, one of the least known features of the GOTY update for RO 2 was the implementation of the Steam stats tracking system. This is the same system used in games such as TF 2 to all the developers to find out how players are playing the game. Our goal with the system was to help us track map balance, and make changes to the maps based on that feedback, and I am happy to say that the first map updates based on the results of the feedback is ready with the updated maps being made available in the next RO 2 patch. Moving forward we can continue to use the system to gather feedback and make tweaks as needed based on how the community as a whole is playing the game!

We’ve also been working on several bug fixes, gameplay tweaks, and several client crashes. One of these that players will see shortly in the upcoming patch is a change to the spawn protection system. Defenders who are in a “spawn protection” area when it is activated will now have more time (twenty seconds) to pull back. In the future we will also be bringing news of our next planned content update and our plans for the game moving forward. As details are worked out we will start to present them to the players.

I’ve thrown the word upcoming patch around several times in this update. The bad news is that I do not have a patch release date to give you yet, the good news is that it will be within the month (if all goes well). Near the release of the patch we will also be posting the first of a series of dev blogs which goes over what a developer has been working on and the details behind it.

See you on the eastern front!
