v1.2 is coming SOON with the LDK, quicksaves and who knows what else. Good times.

How is the performance for the game now? Didn't hear nice things about it at launch, which really turned me off. But I'm really looking for some nice throwback shooting.

I'm REALLY curious to find out how they were able to implement quick-save in the game.

It seems to me that particular feature would require such a significant amount of coding re-work that you'd effectively have to "break" the game and rebuild it from scratch. I could be wrong on that, but that seems like a fundamental alteration!

We're gonna put up a dev blog on it after the fact, but from what I've been told it took a fair bit of coding with some help from the Unreal Developer Network.

Ok, v1.2 is juuuust about ready to go. I didn't think I'd be into quicksaving but now that it's in the game I mash F5 practically all the time.

Patch should be live tonight/tomorrow and ROTT is confirmed for the Steam Halloween Sale... so if you haven't got it yet. I'd say now is the time. Or you could pay full price ^__^

Is the optimization better now?

What I like about this game is that it has a really oldschool arcade feel to it. It is fun to pick up and play, the stages don't get dull fast, and the game ends fast too. Perfect for replays. Similar to Vanquish (in what I described, not the mechanics).

It's been way better since 1.1 for most people but AMD users are still having some issues. Working actively on it all the time.

Word. That's pretty much what we were going for. Arcade style gameplay with tons of replay value. I've played some of these levels probably 200 times. Running fast and blowing guys up never really gets old. It's the same reason why Doom never gets old. Short, fast levels, fun bloody gameplay, dumb enemies to shoot, and that's about it.

The patch is now live. I've been holding out for this patch so I'm still at E2L2 and I bought the game at launch. Finally I can start playing the game, yay!

So is there some sort of Steam GAF group for DM as well?

Also I really wish we had more FPS like this today. Took awhile to get used to the idea of infinite normal ammo, but playing on the hard setting, I think I can roll with it lol.

EDIT: Btw, what does the Detail maps setting do?

Don't know if there's a Steam GAF group for ROTT, but if there was, Wario would run it. Just jump in steam chat to see whats up - we're in there 24/7.

Detal maps make the detail maps more detailed, DUH.

Also, since we released the editor people have been making maps like crazy. Mostly remaking old Doom, Quake and ROTT maps:

Fred is playing SiN for Child's Play and we're giving away lots of stuff. Including the chance to have your face in ROTT.

http://interceptor-entertainment.com/site/childs-play/

Also, the sales are coming SOON. We're going deep on discounts on both Steam and GOG. Prepare your wallets. Good times.

Oh, and if you haven't kept up with the Steam community, Mario 64 and Goldeneye multiplayer maps were recently made... it's... interesting

ROTT is 66% off during the Autumn Sale! That's only $5! And the 4-pack is also 66% off so if you get a 4-pack each game is only like $3.80. That's nuts. You're robbing me. Seriously.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/217140

We also put all of our other games on sale including the Duke Pack and Apogee Pack so check that out too if you need a nostalgia overdose. I made a page with all the discounts on the Interceptor website. Go nuts.

http://interceptor-entertainment.com/site/deals/

We've got some big updates coming to ROTT in december, so if you buy now, you'll still be getting new content before the end of the year. And that's on top of all the user created content already available. Not bad for a $15 game if I do say so myself. And I do say so myself because it's my job.

Also, tomorrow night is our weekly user map MP brawl so come get some. The Facility from Goldeneye 64 will be in the rotation this week. Should be a good time.

Man. I wish there was a Mac version. I doubt it'll run all that well in Parallels 9, even on my 15" Retina MacBook Pro.

But I'll buy it anyway even if I don't get to play it for a while. A long while.

...it was also on gog's super special sales thingy. You missed a chance for additional thread necro-ing, Dave. Shame on you. ;)

Anyway, whoever is reading this and still isn't sure whether to give this a try: Doooo eeet. 3 bucks is, like, nothing. The game is damn fun and oozes love for the original game and its gamers. Feels good.
First rocket to the face is free.
