Dustwind : Two Friends (Mini) Campaign News
We are finalizing the new (mini) campaign and are looking forward to release it in the near future.
We'd like to share some information about the upcoming release of the mini-campaign. It's going to be more concentrated on new characters and storyline, while maintaining our solid gameplay, based on the main title. So, as many of you liked the game mechanics of Dustwind, we really hope that you'll enjoy this new batch of content. All the main components, which make a game fun, are in place. If it's the very first time for you to play the game, then it can be even more fascinating as you get acquainted with the characters and the whole pack of the story.
Besides, we've concentrated on your feedback, smoothing out rough edges and adding elements that can enhance gameplay engagement. Eventually the basic idea was to improve the singleplayer experience at this stage of the project evolution. Although the campaign is not very long, the newly added storyline's twists and turns will hopefully make it more exciting and enjoyable to play.
Very soon you'll be able to collect weapons and gear, choose your character based on your gameplay preferences and, as it was ever before, become a leading figure in these dark times!
Additionally to the new content we also did some improvements for the editor.
We are looking forward to release the free update with the new campaing.
Truly yours,
Z-Software team
New mini-campaign upcoming
When we spoke about storyline extension, it's been really exciting to get such an active response from you! Having collected the data from all of our social media platforms, we've noticed, that you've granted the posts with numerous positive reactions. It's heartwarming to realize, that Dustwind still arouse huge interest among the post-apocalyptic games lovers!
In this regard it'd be a crime at least not to have a try to somehow continue the story and develop the narrative line. In the nearest future we'll deliver new game content most certainly! Back in the days we had several ideas and, besides, the technical basis and specifics of the project itself allows us to speed up the development process.
According to the form of distribution, this would be a free mini-campaign, integrated into the base game. Later on it can grow into something bigger down the road — fingers crossed, that you'll like it.
So keep an eye on the latest news, while our team goes for a brainstorming session and initiate, or in a kind of way — continue the working procedure. Let's make it real!
Best regards,
Z-Software team
The Show Must Go On?
The whole thing inspired us to think over the possible extension for the storyline of Dustwind!
As you know, many years have passed in the game world since the catastrophic event in which an artificial intelligence called the Mainframe has gone rogue and turned it's robotic armies against all other lifeforms on Earth.
But even if you familiar with the main heroine series of adventures of the "Last Resort" campaign, haven't you been curious to immerse deeper into the dystopian lore?
Anyway, we need your help, survivors! Just let us know, that you're interested in the evolving of the storyline by hitting "Like" button: let's aim for 100, for example. If we collect enough of your reactions and feedback, then we'll definitely be more charged to release new content for the game!
Share your opinions in the commentaries, what do you guys like more, when this or that franchise continue its way: should it be sequel, prequel or spin-off?
Keep in touch and stay tuned!
