Level 10 - On Fire
This level has been finished and playtested. There are some things that will be changed before the update, which have been noticed during playtesting. But other than that, it is ready for release.

It features a narrow canyon with some interesting fights and opens up after that, giving the player a choice to go left or right around a giant lava lake. After collecting three keys to open the final arena, the player has to reach the middle of the lava lake and survive a massive fight at the end.

Level 1 - Welcome to the Jungle
This level's environment has been reworked by Neiser completely. He decided to help us out and to make our levels look more awesome. And he is the best. There is no other man on earth who makes better looking levels than him, even Croteam's levels are nothing compared to his. He decided to rework all of our levels, what an honour.

The level features a story intro cutscene at the beginning and a narrow path through the jungle. After collecting some basic weaponry, the player has to find two keys to open the final arena.

Level 11 - Scorched Earth
Level 11 has been finished, playtesting has to be done now.

It is one of the shorter levels of the campaign and features more close combat arena fights in comparison to the other levels. It also introduces the final weapon, so the player will have the complete arsenal at this point.

I wish I could say "Yes", but with the current state, it is unlikeley that the next update will be finished until then :( We work on this in our free time, and sometimes we have a lot of time for that, and sometimes not. I guess two months would be more realistic

Hopefully things are looking good! Glad 2 levels are almost done already.
Struppi  [developer] Jun 28, 2023 @ 10:01am 
The two levels you mentioned are done right now, the last fire level is remaining. Neiser needs some more weeks to finish it's environment, after that, I will implement the gameplay. We hope that we can finish the next update at the end of July :)

Level 3 - Darkness Rises
Since Neiser needs some more time to finish level 12's environment, I decided to get my hands on level 3 again and add the awesome assets Neiser created for level 1 to it. Here is the outcome. Level 2 will be the next one, until Neiser finished his work.

Level 12 - Magma Eater
Here is a little sneak peak of what Neiser is been doing to level 12. It looks so awesome. Can't wait to get my hands on this and to create a completely new gameplay for it.

Level 04 - Acrophobia
It was a lot of work on this one, but finally it is done. Now, they are real floating islands compared to the version before. I had a lot of problems with the performance, but this has been solved as well thanks to Neiser's hints.

Level 05 - Assault on Dragon's Keep
And here is another one. There will be a nice, little thread, waiting for you as you approach the mountain and try to reach the castle on top of it. Do you have what it takes to defeat the dragon?

Already thought about that, I will ask Neiser what he thinks about. But I have to finish level 6 first, it will take two or three more weeks. If we decide to release an early update, I will let you know
Struppi  [developer] Nov 13, 2023 @ 3:50am 
We decided to release the next public update when I finished reworking level 6. We will need some more time to finish the fire levels and they won't be ready until next year. By releasing the next public update soon, we will give people some more new content earlier.
