We know many of you have been waiting for some solid information on our next map - so here it is! Please also check out the rest of the post for info on our upcoming [b]4.2 Halloween update[/b], which will include some awesome new features and content. [h1] The Manor [/h1] We've been hard at work brainstorming the major written, artistic and gameplay elements for a map we're calling [b]The Manor[/b]. With The Slaughterhouse, we pushed the gore factor in a way we had never done before, and we've been thrilled to see the positive response players have had to its bloody themes and claustrophobic feel. With The Manor, we are challenging ourselves again. The map will feature April as the demon, evil crows as her minions, and will be set in a Victorian-era manor house (and its gardens) in England, UK. We're working on creating a haunted, ghostly feel, which is something we've long wanted to do properly. We can also confirm that players will likely be moving around in a way that's completely different to our previous maps. We don't have a firm idea yet of when the map will release, but it will likely be the [b]first quarter of 2024[/b]. We know this might feel like a long wait, but as a small indie studio we do our best to put out new maps of a high quality as quickly as we can. We really appreciate your support and understanding! Without further ado, please check out our concept art for demonic April and her crow minions: [url=https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//37243634/06e42d4c664abc1e29625f4dbb43fe505459f0b4.jpg][img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//37243634/06e42d4c664abc1e29625f4dbb43fe505459f0b4.jpg[/img][/url] [url=https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//37243634/5fb20c921ce8440d4fce2993d2cf6bb123b866de.png][img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//37243634/5fb20c921ce8440d4fce2993d2cf6bb123b866de.png[/img][/url] [h1] 4.2 Halloween Update - Due [b]September 28th[/b] [/h1] Halloween is our favourite holiday of the year!
