The second we decided to put the ability to crouch in the game we knew this would happen. We can't penalize someone for crouching. We can't really write code that would know the difference.

unfortunately this game won't last long. Every match is the same, there's lack of content, objectives, nothing really changes from one match to another. Same killers, same survivors, same doors to open, same tool boxes to find, same traps to get through. I got bored quickly.

When there's technical issues with a game you don't focus on new content. I need engineers fixing things, not hooking up new things. That's how you get new problems. Content is on the way, but we need to get past this hurdle. I do have a decent idea of how this market works.
@TXChainSawGame
We need new content and better/faster patches. Because I think you don't know how the market works in this genre (your other game demonstrates it and look at IDV for example) Then cry when you lose players

5. Iterate 3x.

The late 70's was a pivotal moment for western horror cinema. We saw Italian Giallo begin to shift as Slashers were born. This game mode is an homage to that transitional period in cinema. It's shocking, unnerving, and a historical moment that changed horror forever.
‘Rush Week’, the all new 1v6 Giallo-inspired multiplayer mode is coming to the world of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.
