Announcing Receiver 2! 9 comments December 14th, 2019 by Jack Morris The most realistic gun simulator ever returns in Receiver 2, which will launch early 2020. You can add it to your Steam wishlist right now on the Receiver 2 Steam Page ! Receiver 2 will launch with eight different sidearms, including the Beretta 92FS, Colt Single-Action Army, and the iconic Desert Eagle. While the original game simulated the major moving parts of each gun, Receiver 2 simulates every single internal mechanism down to each spring and screw. Every enemy can be destroyed by a single well-placed shot, using ballistic simulation based on data from shooting incident reconstruction textbooks. Practice the Receiver virtues of resilience, focus, and courage to resist the Threat. Features: - Sidearms modeled down to every spring and pin. - Enemies with physically-based damage models. - Ballistic modeling of ricochets, penetration, and bullet drop. - Train your mind to defend against the Mindkill. - Become literate in how guns actually operate.

July’s theme was “music” and there were some super creative entries that we’re excited to show you. The first map is The Tower , in this map you’ll follow Thorn and Sparrow on their harrowing journey to save the world from “The Great Chill”. Coming up second is The Jester , where you’ll take control of a mad jester as he wreaks vengeance on the king who imprisoned him. Third on our list is The Musical Stones , which follows the adventures of Rone as he collects all four of the mysterious musical stones. And also tied for third is Someday , a short and surreal descent into the weird and wonderful. And lastly we have Trololo , which is the best way to learn the lyrics to the hit song of the same name. Here are the voting results: Thank you to everyone who participated! If you’d like to take part in the next map jam, or just stay up to date on all things Wolfire, please join our official Discord server !

We didn't post about it here because we were having trouble with the blog system, and were too focused on our new game to work on that. It's finally fixed now, though, as one step in the process of preparing our new website! I'm sorry it took so long. Here's the Overgrowth 1.4 update video: In this update, we added a new story mode campaign: Drika's Story, and some improvements for modding. The editor's spawner menu has been cleaned up quite a bit. Many new items have been added to the spawner menu (over 200!), and old ones have been cleaned up. Now most hidden parameters for characters have also been exposed in the editor, so they're easier to find and to remember how to use. There's also a bunch of other bug fixes and other small modding related features that have been added. Thanks to the Wolfire community (especially people on The official Discord Server ) for all the play testing and bug reporting they've been doing. Without you, this 1.4 release wouldn't have happened! Changelog: Here's the top changes in the 1.4 release. The points listed here are just a summary of all the changes. You can find the full change log here . New Drika's Story Mode: New story mode content in the Therium 2 universe Drastically improved version of the mod version of Drika’s Story (so it would be worth another playthrough if you’ve played the mod) A lot of new dialogue and levels Graphics updates (to the Steppes especially), and more character interactions Editor: Exposed most hidden parameters on characters, so they can be easily found in the editor UI Made AI fear mechanics fully customizable via editor params. Can now make rabbits not flee wolves, make non-wolves scary to other species, etc. Added parameter to make a specific character flee when health drops below specified value Cleaned up spawner items, added all working items to the spawner that were used in levels Modding: Many bug fixes. See the full change log (link above) for details Many new script APIs Several small improvements to the editor If you find any bugs, please email a full description along with your system specs to [email protected] To download the update, use Steam, or log into your Humble Bundle account .
