It’s our first big update since release! Thank you so much for all of the positive feedback, ideas, and support! Keep reading to see what’s new!

• Gameplay: 8 player support! Remember, Steam Remote Play supports 8 players in any combination of computers and connections. You can have 5 people on one computer playing with 3 on another computer, 8 people on their own computer, or any combination in between!
  
  
• Gameplay: You can now select your character and color. Because of this, characters don’t randomize each game anymore.
  
  
• Gameplay: We no longer allow the white player color on the skeleton because it makes visibility poor on snow levels.
  
• Gameplay: Reworked spawn placement logic so players are more spread out in smaller games
  
• Two new maps! Moab 2 and Graveyard 1, bringing us to 26 maps total!
  
  
  
• Graphics: Upgraded weapon and player visibility. Player outlines, weapon outlines, and weapon wakes are more visible, particularly on bright levels. There are also now 3 levels of outline settings.
  
• UI: All players can interact with menus
  
• UI: You can now enter the pause menu during the level countdown

• UI: The map name is now displayed at the beginning of each round during countdown to help with bug reporting.
  
• UI: Changed the messaging at the end of a round if only one player was playing. Once we support bots we’ll remove the ability to play alone since it’s useless.

• Gameplay: Fixed several cases where the plague would disappear, breaking the game.
  
• Gameplay: Fixed a spot in the bottom right corner of Ice 1 where players could sometimes get stuck briefly.
  
• Graphics: Fixed low quality mode looking exceptionally bad. Now it only looks kinda bad.
  
• UI: Fixed many bugs, including buttons randomly not receiving focus when they should and the action bar not always showing up, particularly at round start.

Friends!

Introducing Agent Quicksand, the powerhouse of the Samoom squad! Quicksand is the go-to agent for covert operations, with lightning-fast reflexes and unmatched agility, this agent navigates high-risk zones with ease. Prepare to explore his mysterious backstory and set, among which you’ll find “Mongoose” series weapons, unique achievements and an exclusive charm.

Amar's past remains shrouded in secrecy, a testament to his guarded nature and the layers that cloak his origins. He believes that his upbringing and familial ties are his personal affairs. Yet, rumors of his youth spread tales of local conflicts, where he gained combat experience and forged himself into a seasoned mercenary. Amar's journey led him through a labyrinth of state-owned and private enterprises, travelling across the globe's remotest corners to take up even the most hopeless of contracts. Though he favored the solitary path, he nevertheless did not refuse group tasks, forging alliances steeped in loyalty and reliability.

Once Amar reached the peak of his career as a mercenary, he disappeared from the scene, returning to his African roots. Settling in a small town, he embraced a quiet life, leaving behind the chaos of his past. He lived there for several years, passing the time by taking up odd jobs, he never hid the fact that his military career set him up for life. Inquiries about the abrupt changes in his life were met with cryptic evasion, "I got tired." He rejected all military pursuits until officers from the Euro Alliance approached him. As an ace up their sleeve, they brought along Rim Ayari, with whom Amar had traversed North African sands. Eventually, Dinnay reluctantly embraced the call to arms and joined the "Samoom" squad.

See you!

Last month, we explained how some of Fireside’s characters were created. This time, we’ll take a look at Linus’ favorite characters and how Fireside’s outstanding art style came about.

At the beginning, Linus and Ilona talked about what the characters should be like and what would make them special so that Linus could get an idea of what they should look like. He then created three to five concept art drafts of the individual characters and discussed with Ilona which accessories, colors, and vibes would work best. Eventually, he produced the final concept and clarified everything with Ilona. The end product was typically one of Linus’s initial designs. For example, he created several designs of a frog, and the final character was the blue version.



But not all the characters were ready right from the start. Some of the most challenging were two female characters, who both had to be strong without seeming to be too masculine. First was Hazel, a woodcutter who leads her clan and comes into conflict with Owl. The second was Lady Hellmuth, a former princess from a castle who would rather be a knight. It took a while for Ilona and Linus to develop the right look and story for these characters.

One character that Linus absolutely had to include in the game was his dachshund, Buddy. In the game, he becomes the companion dog for Scout Gilbert. Unfortunately, other ideas did not make it into the finished game. For example, there are sketches of a shell with a pearl living inside, but we weren’t able to fit it into the final game. Another idea was a “Dragon Ball” reference for the mountain guide Greg, but nothing came of it.



This shows that the characters in a game change, and some are even completely thrown out, as the story and art style have to work together in harmony and not every idea ends up fitting. The art style of other things like items or the avatar’s house has also changed a lot.



This is because Linus initially drew everything on paper for the first demo, then colored it in on PC. It was only later that he did everything on the PC. In addition, his drawings were initially more sketches with room for error. Later, however, the designs had to be more precise, so Linus added more and more details like scars on the characters or traces of dirt on their clothes. Linus chose warm pastel shades for the colors and a mixture of cartoon and children’s 2D style for the world of Fireside.

Our testers have found the characters to be the most recognizable part of our game so far. They’re quirky, as they have realistic features, but are also completely over the top in their behavior.
