Throttle Trace update 0.41.0 is out now, and your driver can finally grow. Earn XP with good results and clean laps, level up and pick from perks and traits like Quick Study, Fast Starter and Last of the Late Brakers. Career Mode also gets new messages, from asking a veteran to mentor you to pushing a team principal to offer you a seat. Mistakes are also more natural now. Go too fast and you keep control of your speed, so you can recover instead of crashing out. Read the full update 👇 store.steampowered.com/news/… #ThrottleTrace #RacingGame #SimulationGames

Knights of Frontier Valley is a classic RPG with tactical combat and deep gameplay. Develop your character, solve quests, descend into dark dungeons, and get caught in a living, breathing world that keeps changing. #PitchYaGame

Friends of Task Force Admiral, welcome back! What we're posting today might not look too flashy, but it is of great importance for the next few weeks :) First, we are now in the last testing phase of our in-game replay system. It will allow content creators (for videos, AARs of all sorts) to focus on the gameplay, without fear of missing a hectic strike or dogfight. You will be provided with a timeline cursor allowing you to go back in the past or move forward in time as needed, so as to capture the same events from another angle if you're feeling creative. The mission editor is going to be released to our beta testing branch in the coming days, so as to test for stability and basic features. It should reach the player base soon too. Our Steam Workshop integration is now ready: posting or downloading custom scenarios will be a matter of a few clicks. For those who cannot wait for the new editor, don't forget to go visit the modding forum on Steam and have a look at the mod made by Grisan that lets you edit your own battle with an interface, here and now! Last but not least, here are also a few shots of Julien's work on the G3M, which will soon grace the South Pacific with its presence - the final adversary we needed for the Coral Sea experience to be complete! #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #Strategy

I still get asked about this, so just a reminder: lens distortion can be disabled in the settings.
Lens distortion is now optional in Better Than Dead. You can turn it off in the settings with Update 0.40

I'm happy I can finally get this new gpu based lighting system in so now particles and shaders can emit lights for basically free. Going to be sick for the new vfx I'm making.

Added a new "simple" mech control scheme mode for beginners which helps control the legs and torso more like a FPS controller.

Just added optional "Robbie" tanks! A "Robbie" internal fuel tank can be fitted inside the ammo bay of an AH-64 Apache helicopter. It reduces your 30mm chaingun ammo from 1200 down to 300 rounds, but gives you another 100 gallons of fuel. This screenshot is from my current campaign, and I'm taking off from a "FARP" -- a "Forward Arming and Refueling Point", basically a forward base. The FARP aesthetics leave something to be desired in the game right now. @dentonholmgren will need to put some time into this at some point.
