Hey everyone!

We brought NIMRODS to the Unity Developer Days convention in Austin on last Thursday! Not only did we get a bunch of great feedback on our game, but it also served as a fantastic networking opportunity to search for publishers, and it also gave us an exclusive glimpse into Unity's future plans and features. We had the pleasure of showing off our game to fellow indie developers, aspiring students, and people from the Unity team :)







Overall, people responded positively to NIMRODS, which makes us even more excited to unveil the game's transformative potential in just a few months!

Don't forget to add NIMRODS to your Steam Wishlist to stay updated on its progress and release

• Nothing this week. Check back later!

Short update this week. That's because we're hard at work trying to push a different game out the door so it's no longer pressing down on us; that way we can focus exclusively on NIMRODS for a while and work furiously on it until its Steam Demo Release! Hope you'll come along with us for the ride!

Hey everyone, welcome back! It's been a while, but rest assured, we've been putting in some serious work into SCP: 5K. This latest update lays the groundwork for exciting narrative efforts that will soon find their way into the game — of which the narrative outline plans are now close to being relatively finalized behind the scenes. It's been a whirlwind period for us, juggling internal company restructuring on the Affray-end and the push for SCP.GAMES. There hasn't been a single slow day for our team!

But fear not, with this update, we're aiming to minimize the gaps between future updates. We've made significant progress on the groundwork, and the restructuring has given our overall efficiency a major boost. So, stay tuned and get ready to dive into the patch notes.

Hi everyone,

This patch is focused on the orb arena fights. I've given players more control over when they start, and made the fights more consistently intense. No more hunting down the last few stragglers!

I've also reduced some of the annoying traits of the enemy types and fixed an assortment of bugs.

And finally I adjusted the overall lighting of the world to give a little more contrast.

Please let me know what you think!

-MattWLA

• Change how orb arena fights work: Players no longer need to hunt down last few stragglers. A high amount of enemies is kept stocked and players win when they hit a target kill count. Remaining enemies die and drop pickups for pickup extravaganza.
  
• Changed how orb arena fights start: Players can activate instantly with button press, no longer proximity and wait based. All players on server need to activate.
  
• Dimmed skylight, changed skylight color temp

• Limit 2 shield guys at once per arena fight
  
• Reduced shield guy HP
  
• Made shield guy look 50% more intimidating
  
• Tweaked quest text for find the hoverboard quest
  
• Slowed AR reload speed
  
• Add sound to jumping units as they jump
  
• Tweaked some ledges in first ruin
  
• Lowered difficulty of second arena fight

• Disable motion blur on fire particles (performance improvements near fire particles)
  
• Can reliably interrupt shotgun and bolt action reloads
  
• Fixed bugs where shotgun and bolt action would soft lock
  
• HUD graphics are now immediately updated after binds changes
  
• Fix countdowns counting down even in pause menu
  
• Fix shotgun and sniper ammo going into negatives (not sure, untested)
