Greetings!

We've further expanded upon [Child Rearing] with this update, and you can now raise a child as a mother! We've also fixed some [Champion of Chaos] skills that weren't working, and tuned down a few of the more imbalanced skills for an overall better experience.

This update mostly targets the DLC, meaning that we're not changing the version number for this. We'll push it onto other platforms soon too.


Having gathered feedback from you all, we've decided to expand upon the [Child Rearing] content. With this update, those playing as a female character will be able to take on the role of a 'Mother' and all the joy it brings.





The story parts of child rearing are unique for female and male characters. A female character will be able to interact with their child to a greater extent, and even more story dialogue will be triggered if the child's father is also in the party.

If you’ve been following our news about Gamescom you know that we’ve prepared a new and improved demo for the occasion. We’ve also said that we will take that demo down when Gamescom is over.

Well… We changed our minds! In our humble opinion, this demo is too good to revert back to the old one. So, it’s here to stay!

What’s different about this version of the demo?

• Removed platforming section from PRE00. Replaced with immediate drop into medbay.
  
• Removed circular platforms from around south secret area of PRE06. Replaced with spiral staircase.
  
• Merged commits from main to support longer item pickup range.
  
• Added two additional suspended platforms to PRE06 over bottomless pit.
  
• New katana graphics.

Have you played the improved demo already? Or do you plan to do it soon? Let us know!

We are excited to announce two new campaigns for Easy Red 2!

As many of you know, we ran a poll a few months ago to ask you what campaigns you would like to see next. We received many interesting responses, with the most popular requests being for North Africa, Poland, France (early war), the Bulge, China, Market Garden, and Berlin.

It was difficult to choose which campaigns to develop next, but we ultimately decided on two new fronts:
•Early War France: The Battle of Stonne
•Battle in the Ardennes

We chose France in particular because it was a popular request from the beginning of development, and we wanted to choose a relatively known campaign but not covered in many games that took place near the Ardennes region. This allowed us to include some late-war Ardennes winter campaign content in the same package.

The two campaigns will take place in areas that are very close to each other, but they will be two separate maps. This allowed us to develop the campaigns quickly without delaying other work, such as the Switch updates, modding support, and ongoing improvements to the game. In fact, most of the work for the campaigns is already done!

I should also mention that we delayed announcing these campaigns because we originally planned to make them free updates. However, we ended up spending more money than expected on developing high-quality maps and missions. As a result, the campaigns will most likely be a paid DLC (two campaigns in one DLC). I will try to keep the price as low as possible, but it will ultimately depend on the final development costs.

A view of the Stonne map area


A view of the late war Ardennes area


New uniforms (French uniforms for Stonne and US winter uniforms for late war Ardennes), vehicles, weapons, and of course, the French faction will be included in the campaigns.
We will be revealing vehicles and weapons are gonna be added during the next days inside our Work-in-progress challel in our Discord server, but in the meantime, let me already show a couple of them:

MAS 38


FM 24/29


We don't have a specific release date yet, but it will likely be within the next couple months.

We have been very impressed with the cool mods that the community has created since we released the modding system. Earlier this month, we released a short video showcasing some of the best mods that we have been testing. Since then, even more great mods have been created, so we will be making a new video soon.

Unfortunately, uniforms are not yet moddable. We are working on this feature, but it is taking longer than expected because we are also completely reworking the TPS animations, and until we don't put the new TPS rig in game, allowing modding uniforms with the old system won't really make much sense. We will release more information about this as soon as possible.

Anyway, you can learn how to start creating all other kind of mods by watching this tutorial:

It is also it's suggested to join the Discord server where you can confront with other mod makers and with us to learn more about mod making.


We released the Normandy Campaign earlier this summer after working on it for over 9 months. We are very happy with the positive reception that it has received. Thank you to everyone who has played it!

We have finally released the new update for the Switch, which brings the game up to version 1.2.6. We have received positive feedback from Nintendo users about the new improvements, such as the improved stability and performance, and the new features, such as the Map & Mission Editor and the new weapons and vehicles.

The Normandy Campaign will be released for the Switch in the first half of September. The exact release date will vary by region, but normally it will be between the 4th and the 11th.

In case you didn't know we have defined a precise roadmap for the next months of development and you can read it here.
Such roadmap will be updated this year as most of the planned works have been already completed!

We keep improving all features of the base game and as always we will be going on listening to suggestions from people inside the Steam Discussions and the Discord server.

The updates for the base game we are constantly releasing are very expansive, so if you are interested on giving us a hand to make a better work, this is our Patreon. All the money raised from this will be spent to make a better game.


Thank you all,
Marco

[Play Execution Issues]
- Fixed a bug that only one state change was recovered at a time when the recovery conditions for multiple state changes were met at once.

- Fixed a bug that caused a white frame to appear around the player when a 2D stamp (billboard) with lighting set to OFF was assigned as the player's graphic.

- Fixed a bug that during game play, if the cursor was moved out of the window while holding down the right or middle mouse button, the pressed state would not be released.

[Battles]
- Fixed a bug that caused an ally's battle KO state effect to appear twice during battle.

- Fixed a bug that caused the result screen to be very slow when the attribute of a class was set to "None".

[Others]
- Fixed a bug that caused particles and model textures to blink on and off in CPU built-in graphics environments on Intel 10th generation Core or later, which was caused by operational improvements in Ver. 1.3.2.

We will continue our efforts to improve "RPG Developer Bakin".
