Attention, Mercenaries,

the moment you've been waiting for is here.

Vorax is AVAILABLE NOW in Early access and is 10% off!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1874190/Vorax/

Early Access release marks an important milestone in a journey that has spanned over two years and half, filled with dedication and hard work.
Creating Vorax has been a labor of love and commitment. We have faced numerous challenges and obstacles. We've had intense development cycles and had to overcome various technical issues or limitations. Not to mention a big reshuffle in the team that took place last year due to that we decided to rewrote all core game code from scratch.
Throughout it all, our motivation has been to deliver a game that meets the high standards we set for ourselves and that our community expects. However this is only the first step.

We want to apologize and address the delay in our initial launch plans. This decision was not made lightly. Our guiding principle has always been to prioritize quality over profits. We believe in taking the time to do things right, even if it means making difficult decisions along the way.

We received valuable feedback from Valve and several trustworthy community members and content creators. Their insights highlighted areas where Vorax could benefit from additional polish. While we felt the game was ready for Early Access release, we recognized the importance of making a strong first impression. An Early Access launch on Steam is a significant event, and we want to ensure that Vorax is as polished as possible for this crucial moment.

We took the occasion to introduce at last second two much requested features like:

• headbob removal ( now it is disabled by default )
  
• multiple shotgun shells

and we are working to re-introduce our 'vintage' orange HUD in a couple of days this week.

Our goal is to exceed your expectations and deliver a game that truly stands out in the survival horror genre.


The Early Access launch of Vorax is just the beginning. The game has already a lot of content , but with your help with will grow even more. We are committed to continuously improving and enhancing the game based on your feedback. Our roadmap includes regular updates, new content, and ongoing refinements to ensure that Vorax evolves and improves over time.

Over the next few months, we have several key updates planned to expand and enrich your experience with Vorax, just to remind you a few key locations: The School, Electric Central, Sanctuary, Olive Factory and more. New Weapons, New Features and Improvements, expect various enhancements and optimizations to improve gameplay and performance.



Engage with the new content as it becomes available, thoroughly test all features, and report any issues encountered.

Your feedback is crucial to refining these updates and ensuring the best possible experience.

We encourage you to order Vorax from our website located here[vorax.indiegala.com] if you'd like to support us.

If you haven't already, please make sure to wishlist and follow Vorax on Steam here.

Operatives,

As we move into the final phase before the early access release of "Vorax," scheduled for July 18th, it is crucial to brief you on the latest developments and newly integrated content. This bulletin will cover enemy updates, new playable areas, and additional weapons.

Among the new threats identified on the island are the Spitflowers, a particularly dangerous form of infected flora. These plant-based adversaries are a grotesque hybrid of vegetal and human DNA. Though the exact origins of Spitflowers are shrouded in mystery, it is known that a scientist with a dark sense of humor was responsible for their creation. This scientist was infamous for his eerie laughter, and it seems his creations have inherited this trait, as they can sometimes be heard screaming and laughing in the night. These abominations discharge toxic projectiles, posing a significant threat to anyone within their range. Engage with caution and neutralize them from a distance where possible. It is important to note that Spitflowers are not an isolated mutation; much of the island's flora has been similarly infected, creating an environment where even the vegetation is hostile.
A new formidable enemy has also been identified: the Carapx Boss. This heavily armored behemoth requires tactical precision and specialized weaponry for engagement. Its resilient exterior makes it a high-priority target that should not be underestimated.In terms of exploration, several new areas have been made accessible. The School, a strategic location equipped with a secret military vault, demands both combat readiness and investigative skills. The Electric Central, a critical infrastructure zone, is essential for restoring power to the island and enabling further exploration. The Olive Factory introduces complex machinery and processing equipment, offering opportunities for resource gathering and tactical engagements. Lastly, the Sanctuary, a historical site now compromised, provides strategic vantage points but is fraught with hidden threats.
Our arsenal has been significantly expanded to meet these new challenges. Sticky Bombs, designed for precision placement, are effective against heavily armored enemies and strategic targets. Organic Bait Traps lure and incapacitate mutants, providing versatile options for both offensive and defensive strategies. Additional weapons have been integrated to ensure tactical versatility; detailed operational manuals will be provided upon acquisition.

This extensive content update will be part of the "Vorax" early access release on July 18th. Operatives are expected to familiarize themselves with the new threats, environments, and tools to maximize mission success.
Stay vigilant and prepared. Further instructions will follow as we approach the release date.

Mission Control out.
