AMC Squad Episode 5 April Update news

AMC Squad April 2025 update

First of all, we have a new team member - Wheaton Adams, who will be joining both the real world AMC development team, and the in-game AMC Squad as a playable character! His excellent work has already helped productivity immensely.

There are 2 new user maps to check out! Venus Hi-jinks by Jolteon, and Cairo Dig site Part1 by Wheaton Adams. The former map stars Geoffrey and is set on Venus; the latter takes place on Earth and is playable with any character. They're both excellent maps and will make their way into the main game proper when episode 5 is released as well. You can find them in the usermaps section on our Discord channel

Development Work

As per usual we're putting lots of effort to make sure this next release is the most polished and user friendly yet. The loadout terminal continues to have work put into it:

Alongside the bestiary function mentioned before, the precog screen on the command interface will now tell you exactly what enemies you'll face - with the caveat that only enemies you've already encountered will be revealed. Unknown enemies have a missing icon - however, it will at least reveal what armour type they have. You'll be able to prepare and make sure you have a optimal loadout even if you don't know what the enemy will be yet.

Community and Release

As always, please join our Discord if you wish to join the discussion - we have a friendly and open community and there's always someone around to help newcomers. We're aiming to try and get internal testing begun by the end of the year, but as always we're all adults and life will inevitably get in the way of work. If you're interested in trying to help, by all means join the discord and ask. Have a good summer and stay safe.
