Fight or Flight - 0.40.8 - Misc fixes
In this patch I have now added a check box to enable or disable the "Vision" mode. In the future i think i shall be removing the mode entirely, so please test without it and let me know how you feel.
Currently the monsters only spawn in the forests (they will chase you out though...), I will soon be moving these to also spawn in more populated areas such as the bases.
I have also spent a lot of time improving the UI further, and fixing a lot of small animation bugs to make these look much more polished.
Please enjoy and don't forget to leave a review if you like the game!
Cheers,
-Gozu

Fight or Flight - 0.40.7 - Vision, Yes/No?
First off I want to start these notes with a question for the community.
What are your thoughts on the Vision mode? I am considering removing it, so you can no longer track the monsters so easily, and adding more monsters in each match.
I feel like this feature does not fit very well with the theme of the game and it should be removed.
PLEASE post a comment below with your thoughts, Thank you!

To the notes, Pushing out a patch to fix a major issue with network players that happens when clients are 3+km away from the hosting player, It was somehow missed during testing. (Big thanks to "furupoweru" for the bug report :)
This is now resolved.
The other big change is all of the weapons have now been re-balanced.
Most assault rifles are 4 body shots for a kill. Most Pistols are 5 body shots, SKS is 3, SVD is 2, Shotgun is 1. This is all of course dependent on where on the body you hit the character and what armor they have. Head shots are x2 damage for example, so go for those head shots!
Still working on many other features in the background, I will inform you when the time is right!
Please note; Performance may struggle on the machine hosting the match if there is a lot of AI, AI is very CPU intensive, that coupled with very very long draw distances, if you are hosting a game make sure your PC is up to it.
(sniper heaven, I've had a kill at 2.5k using the SVD, try beat that, i will try add some more details in the map to measure this :P)
UI; Menu UI visibility improvements
UI; Fixed bug with Interaction keys not updating in the UI after being changed
Player; Improved crouching smoothness
Player; Smoothed out Sky Dive and Parachute animations more, still more work to come...
Player; Changed base health back down to 100
Weapons; Re-balanced all weapons (Please provide feedback if anything is OP.)
Misc; Fixed bug with network players being able to clip through walls in certain circumstances
GLHF,

Fight or Flight - 0.40.65 - Hotfix + Turbo
There are a few little things that i think is important to point out in this patch.
First of all, I have added a turbo boost to the vehicles! :)
It can be used by holding your "Sprint" key while driving, there is a small blue bar under the RPM counter that shows how much boost you have remaining, once you stop using it, it will regenerate over time.
Second, something that has been requested quite a bit. When playing singleplayer (offline) mode you no longer have to wait for the 120 second warmup, this will be reduced to 5 seconds.
Third, Bots now dont spawn until 3 minutes into the match, this just gives you a little bit of time to get ready.
Next up i will be continuing to work on improvements to the level, such as making area's like the school and office blocks more dense.
Enjoy,
-Gozu

Fight or Flight - 0.40.62 - Play with your friends!
Big changes!
Hi guys, Perhaps the biggest change with this update is the ability for you to start a server, and then have your friends join via steam.
Right now the system is very rudimentary, and will be improved with a full lobby system and squad modes at a later date.
There is a guide over here on how to do this:
