Hey all!
As a thank you to our community of players we’re releasing our first update to Mothergunship: Forge in 3 years, the aptly titled “Thank you, Recruit! Update”.
It’s a silly name, but accurate, and we’ve got the following goodies for our players:
- A brand new “Ascension Mode” with ever-increasing difficulty: this essentially replaces previous hardest mode as the way to test your skills by adding more and more modifiers to each run for bragging-rights progression.
- A brand-new Daily Mode, which updates nightly with a new leaderboard; and features a ton of wacky modifiers to present unique and sometimes ridiculous challenges and surprises.
- Full hand tracking implementation on Meta Quest platforms with automatic detection, allowing for seamlessly switching between hands and controllers, and a fully redone tutorialization to onboard folks who want to play without controllers.
- A behind-the-scenes massive upgrade to the core engine from Unreal 4 to Unreal 5.7, which was an absurdly big jump in tech for us!
- A ton of polish, balancing fixes, bug fixes, and connecting issue fixes that we’ve been wanting to tackle over the last couple of years.
I hope you decide to jump back in for a bit and shoot some alien robots! Thanks for playing our games! 🙂
