Greetings, children of the night:

This is our last announcement for all of you before we shut down this project, at least temporarily. It’s hard to believe, but the game that took us so many years of hard work will cease to exist on Steam in a few weeks. Shadowplay: Metropolis Foe was fully released in August 2021. On that very day, we also announced that 42 Foundation will no longer support it — so we guess this is not a surprise.

We are sorry for not giving notice sooner, but we were still hoping to resurrect Shadowplay somehow. The good news is that those of you who already own the game will be able to download, install and launch the game as many times as you want. Also, the store page and the associated forums on Steam are remaining accessible to everyone.

Feel free to ask us any other questions you may have, we’ll answer them in the clearest way possible. Thanks for your kind understanding.

Best regards,
42 Foundation, Crossingstar Studio, and 2P Games

Thank you very much for your great help, connoisseurs and friends. I thank you very much for helping me. I hope our friendship will last forever!

Hyper-5 V8 update
Hi all! V8 is a “maintenance” style update. The big change “under the hood” is a migration of the game to a more recent version of Unity. This allows better optimisation of the game which should now be more CPU efficient. I have also taken the opportunity to make a few gameplay tweaks based on player feedback, and to fix some minor bugs.

Quality-of-life / Gameplay improvements:
- Downgrading weapons now recovers all spent UP (previously only 66%)
- Reduced firepower of Sawtooth-P in Level 2 ravine section
- Added additional checkpoint to assist progress in Level 5

Bug fixes:
- Fixed Level 3 boss cutscene on repeated play
- Halo-Bomb mini-missile deployment fixed in Time Trial missions
- Fixed minor menu UI rendering issue on level select images

As always, many thanks to everyone for your support, and especially to those who left reviews and feedback!
Jamie, Developer of Hyper-5

Pilots! Time to enhance the strength of your fleet! A spokesman for the Empire at UMC reported that a new transport convoy from the hub sectors arrived at the fringe sectors.

Only today, on April 20, UMC offers a 30% discount on parts for the “Boremys” ship! The parts can be purchased directly from the ship tree.

The war with the Aliens ruined many companies of the former Federation, brought death and destruction to the fringe systems. But those who managed to stay afloat got their hands on the development of ruined competitors for next to nothing. For Sci-Tech Universal, a corporation that rose from the ashes of war, one of these acquisitions was the Boremys project, an improved version of the “Archelon” cover frigate.

The special offer is valid for a limited time and will end on April 21!

Your sincerely,
Star Conflict Team
