If you're already in our discord you might have heard about the event happening in Arnhem on August 30th & 31st where 40 players will battle it out for Arnhem.

Some of our developers will be present for the event so if you're nearby. You should check it out.
To see more about this event check out Bridge To Liberation's website

For those who cannot make it to “The Game” event happening in Arnhem August 30th-31st, we’ve got you covered.



Saturday August 31st @ 9 PM GMT+1 / 1 PM PDT / 4 PM EDT

A community event that EASY normally runs exclusively for communities has been opened to the awesome public players of Post Scriptum. They will bring you a semi historical reenactment of the Battle of Arnhem a special event for the Operation Market Garden 75th anniversary. This is the kind of immersion and dedication we like to see from the community, it makes us truly proud to see.

You can sign up by heading over to our discord and check the #announcement channel.

Don’t worry if you can’t play.

We will be streaming the event over at https://www.twitch.tv/postscriptumofficial where we will have a chat with the EASY researcher who spends 2 weeks researching some of these events about their process of preparing for events like these. On top of that we bring along History Buff & Streamer Digby Tatham-Warter to chat history with us. But that’s not all!

We will also aim to bring on Macolik one of Periscope’s Level Designer who worked on the Arnhem map to talk a little about creating the Arnhem map and his exciting involvement with the team.

This event was made to give the regular players of Post Scriptum a chance to try these events that are otherwise exclusive to communities. But it’s also a good opportunity to remember the failed Operation that took place between September 17th-25th almost 75 years ago. We hope you have some time to come and play in the event, watch the livestream (Or both).

We also expect the presence of a few content creators to come experience the level of immersion unlike any other.

Special thanks to Youtuber/Streamer Nordern & Digby Tatham-Warter for their contribution on the video.

Hello everyone,

First of all, before we get into what changed in this exciting patch, we would like to start off by thanking the entire community who was of great help getting this patch ready over the last few days in various public testing events!
Thanks guys, you rock!

Now, let's get to it. A little over a month ago, we decided to patch the game one last time before we moved on to Unreal Engine 4.21.

While this process is still slowly and painfully ongoing by our coding department, we decided to patch one more time on UE 4.16 (our current version of the engine for the past 12 months or so).
This patch will include a lot of awesome new features, gameplay changes as well as new animations and a heavy focus on optimization.

After a lot of positive feedback from the community during public tests, players should see some considerable performance improvements with this update (we will still be continuing our optimisation efforts into the future.)

During our last "Tea Time with the devs" livestream we announced and showcased that dismemberment was coming to Post Scriptum.

After countless hours of mass murdering, chopping off limbs and exploding teammates with grenades and other various explosive ordnance, we have reached the point where we are very happy with the state of the new system.
We hope you will enjoy playing it as much as we did making it!




Our animators have been working hard on chapter 2 and 3 but fear not, the Bloody Seventh has not been forgotten!

Here are some revamped animations for you guys to enjoy this patch!








A few gameplay elements are also seeing a change in this update.
US Airborne (82nd & 101st) medics are now equipped with an M1 Garand instead of the M1 Carbine.
Logistic medics will still keep the M1 Carbine with them.

Every soldier on the battlefield is now equipped with a single syringe of morphine per-life. This will allow them to revive one nearby soldier back to 70% health.
This syringe cannot be rearmed from an ammo crate or ammo box.


A new Offensive layer is also coming to Grave.
Grave S02



Here is a rough overview of the work we’ve been doing to gain that extra FPS.
We won’t get too overly technical, but here’s the general idea.

Step 1: Bone reduction
The idea behind this is that you don't need to draw as many bones on a skeleton when it is far from the player camera.



Step 2: Triangle reduction
Steps 1 and 2 are not really new to us, but some of it could have been exaggerated without being noticeable to players, so this time, we are taking it a step further. This extends to vehicles too.




The UE4 4.21 engine upgrade is still ongoing and will take some time before we are back to where we currently are.

Chapter 2 and 3 are looking amazing and we are getting close to announcing them. Stay tuned!





Sincerely,
Periscope Games

Join us next week for our next installment of ‘Tea time With The Devs’ where we will be going live to present some of the most recent work being done by the team!

Wednesday July 10th 3PM EST / 8PM BST / 9PM CEST

Hey everyone, Steam Summer Sale is here and Post Scriptum is a HOT 40% off until July 9th! Pick up Post Scriptum while it’s on sale just in time for our soon coming releases, which we have an update on for you all below!


As of last week we have began the process of the upgrade to Unreal Engine 4.21 and the work has been ongoing by our programmers, along with help and guidance from our publisher Offworld Industries who have recently undergone the same upgrade.
This process is notoriously difficult and the fallout of the upgrade is a breaking of many of our systems and features which we need to first find and then resolve. Fortunately, one of the new features of this engine is an identification tool which narrows down the field of potential suspects and should allow a quicker identification time. However the amount of work that will be required to fix the breaks is still large and will take time. While our programmers are busy with this task we have established a separate workspace where the rest of the team can continue their work on the next chapters bringing new theatres with their respective factions, weapons and vehicles. We are excited to share the next chapter with you and we’re looking forward to announcing soon!

Once the engine upgrade is complete our coders can jump back into the features they have been working on prior to the upgrade which includes the sandbox mode and SDK function. Alongside these there has been some other exciting gameplay additions which will be going into testing over the next couple of weeks. Once we are confident these new additions work we hope to share at the next Tea Time With The Devs which we will look to schedule soon. Stay tuned!

Finally we are beginning final preparations for the Post Scriptum Nation Crew event we mentioned at our last Tea Time With The Devs. PSNC will be an armoured event which will be organised for the community, by the community, and will be facilitated via our official discord. We will be sending out news for that event during the second week of July!

We appreciate everyone’s patience during this period of difficult work for the team, and we have committed to ensuring that we will only release the new engine update when it is as-stable, if not more than, the current version.

As always, many thanks to you for your continued support and we hope you are as excited as we are for what is just around the corner for Post Scriptum!

Sincerely,

Periscope Games
