We have put PAC on hiatus while we take a step back and reassess our gameplan. Over time the project evolved into something that was no longer aligned with our original vision. We are not abandoning or ending the project, merely putting it on the backburner. Please be patient with us and check back in the future for any updates.

PAC v0.3.0 Now Available
Well the time is finaly upon us, and much quicker then we were hoping. Thanks to the work of some shady, underhanded hacker types (probably Russian) our Unreal build is now playable on Steam. We were hoping to get a lot more in there (30 weeks of updates worth) but, here we are. There are still some vital components missing, but feel free to debug and post any problems. Leaderboards are no longer functional, so if you believe you hold the highest score, you need to grab a screenshot and upload it! Just be careful, the flying drones will kill you in one hit.

FIXED
fix floaty physics on some models
FIXED
hand icon to light up with interactive objects, such as hacking doors
FIXED
scale down medpack slightly. too large
FIXED
Can kill flying drone by shooting undernaeth it.

flying planter debris hurts you (reduced to smaller radius, you have to be pushing against it to get any damage)
FIXED
can't walk through drone debris (and spinnerbot)
fixed disappearing elevator door edges
SFX added: coin pickup, elevator doors
fixed menu bug reverting back to old game hud
fixed collision of planter, wont get blocked by it -- (fixed) planters will sometimes spawn crashing through doors lengthwise
fixed random hit/miss
added basic footsteps -- more steps? 2X amount
added breaking glass audio
added invisible kill floor if falling out of maze
fixed decals on pickup items -- (tweaked) still leave scuffs running up neighbor walls
added sky box
added motion blur -- (added) possibly add a depth of field post effect with it
integrated new maze art, with correct rotations -- (fixed) will crash through neighbor tiles on the left hand side only, sometimes aren't centered vertically

De-Fireballation Information
Because of our red-hot setbacks, PAC is receiving a total over and underhaul. Our Beta branch is starting from scratch, re-coding only successful features, and dropping otherwise useless or buggy ones. All clutter is to be removed, to return to a more natural state of maximum performace. All launch issues and Linux problems will be solved before moving forward. What does this mean for you?
NO MORE CROUCHING - Do we really need this? (Believe it or not, crouching DOES make your spread tighter)
NO MORE OXYGEN - WHAT IS KILLING ME I HAVE NO IDEA?
NO MORE STAMINA - This feature was bugged somehow.
NO MORE FALL DAMAGE - Eventualy we will balance this out.
To compensate for the large hole where our monsters should be, we have whipped up a few original ORIGINAL enemies! Yay!
- Velociraptor
- Centipede
- Female Torso Zombie
Here's a few of my personal notes, to get an idea of where we are headed now:
Make sure opendll working and linux working. Other startup crashes, Double E Glitch.
Remove Leadwerks/Logos intro. Jump straight to main menu. one menu/intro song, not two. Menu BG will be in game shot of the current map, with water moving. Hitting start would drop you into an already loaded map. Map will load before main menu. Main menu will be transparent, and overlay on top of a camera angle preset on the map. This main menu BG will change with whatever map loads in.
Add Iron Sights. Add Ammo Count. Add NEW 5 Heart Health system. No more %. 5 hits, you're dead. Medpacks heal 1 heart container.
Start new base stats
Start new perks from scratch?
No more 02 and stamina. Unlmited stamina and 02. Sometning about these scripts may have been buggy anyway. Players dont enjoy these either.
No fall damage! Players hate dying from slipping on a rock a few feet. let them make super hulk jumps without dying.
Extend shadow range to 2.
Incorporate bushes into tree randomizer
Creat prop randomizer (small, large)
Add light motion blur shader.
remove +Xp animated text.. change to xp bar
