The Extinction
The Extinction 0.45 Update - Important news :(
Unfortunately the 0.45 update has been veeery delayed due to the fact I don't have time to work on the game, therefore I can't finish the multiplayer feature, as it consumes too much time on my side and the game is not updated at all.
I moved "Multiplayer" to the features that might be added after the release of the game as I have to complete my promised updates.
So, I don't really want to establish any deadlines, therefore the only thing i'm going to say is that the next(soon) update will consist of:
- game launcher
- new, updated, smarter AI
- Bugfixes.
Multiplayer is semi-working and it's very unstable, but I don't have much time now and I can't really focus my work only on online stuff.
I'm very sorry and I hope you'll understand.
In the next months there will be more singleplayer stuff, as I'll be focused primarly on the campaign.
Best Regards,
Domink
The Extinction 0.45 is coming! February Update Sneak-Peek
Today I wanna show some of my progress in creating the Multiplayer in the game.
Important!
Unfortunately game's multiplayer won't be integrated with steamworks, therefore you won't be able to send game invitations through steam.
BUT, don't worry, there will be system which will allow you to easily play with your friends. To prevent confusion, there will be a tutorial on steam :).
0.45 Multiplayer Features
- Cooperation Mode (a copy of local-coop survive mode, but online!)
- Versus Mode (Compete with your friends - similiar to deathmatch)
- Possibly up to 4 players, but for now it is done for 2.
- Creating rooms, random matchmaking, friends only rooms
- Full Controller Support
I'm trying my best to pull off all these features on time. Update should be released on 29th of February, eventually with a couple days of delay.
Some Sneak-Peek Screenshots.

The Extinction 0.39 Update + Some news.
I'm sorry for my long absence, but I hadn't really got any time to work on the game. Firstly, I wanted to finish 0.40 update with online co-op, but I'm having troubles with getting it to work propertly(it's also one of the reasons there were not updates), so instead I prepared update 0.39.
0.39 Changelog:
- Brand new, interactive tutorial.
- New upgrade shop UI.
- Bugfixes
- Christmas logo.
Soon I'll post a roadmap with all planned future updates.
Merry Christmas :)

Dominik

The Extinction 0.37 Delay
As you probably noticed there weren't any updates recently. The thing is, the 0.37 update should had been released this week but unfortunately it wasn't. It is delayed, due to the fact that I'm currently sick and I can't really work on the game. It should be available in a few days/week.
I'm sorry for no updates.
