Updates

We know this doesn't look like your usual Recap but we thought we'd lay out what we have planned for the next stage of Squad development

Now that the Halloween sugar rushes are wearing off, it's time to unwrap the Recap!

The latest about Alpha 12, User Interface and some developers faces!

Tanks, User Interface and a Squadchat is what we have for you this month. Also we're leaving!

Alpha 11 now behind us, an outlook onto things that make booms, Post Scriptum news and game modes!

Tweaking AAS, lots of art updates, something new from the land of tea and crumpets!

A lot of things happened this month even though it's the shortest one.

A lot of updates on Alpha 10, we're getting closer and can feel it right around the corner!

During our Kickstarter campaign we held a vote to see which map from Project Reality you, the community, wanted us to remake for SQUAD. Fallujah clearly won that vote and was put on the roadmap.

Ah, the crisp air, the change of seasons, and one of the spookiest months of the year. The ghosts and ghouls will soon be out, and, let's face it, the only way to be prepared is to bring along a squadmate hauling a PKM to make sure when the zombies* come, they stay down.

August was a bit of a quiet month, as OWI was exposed to sunlight as a group outside of Vancouver. Fully rested and recharged, we're back at it -- you may have noticed the Unreal Engine 4.16 update in the 9.8 patch.

This past month, the modding community has been really busy with their projects, stopping only to give the Squad community some juicy updates to ogle.

There is a lot of work currently being done on some critical and fundamental systems that have required a significant portion of our team to focus on them.

While we gear up the development of more war machines, we thought we would share an insight into a new workflow we are refining.

As we're rushing to squash the last few bugs and tweak in some more optimisation improvements we want to get you, the player, as informed as possible on what to expect in Alpha 9.

Happy 2017! In December we worked hard to release Alpha 8.9 as a special patch on Squad's first Steam birthday. We were happy to celebrate the anniversary by streaming CCFN and Squad Ops.

It's been awhile since we had one of these things! For those new Squaddies that are not aware, every month we put out a Recap on what's been happening behind the scenes in Squad development, and is a great way for us to tell YOU what we've been working on.

September has sure gone by quickly hasn't it? Over here in Squad Dev-land we've been hard at work improving the Alpha Version 7 edition of the game (with the latest hotfix being 7.6, notes are viewable here.), as well as the next Alpha Version 8 where the primary focus is going to be on performance optimisations.

June has been an extremely busy time for us, with work on Version 7 well underway and a majority of the team focusing on getting vehicles into your hands!

Hot on the heels of V6, it's time for the Monthly Recap! While most of the month was dedicated to working on the Alpha V6 release, there was still work going on that is in preparation for much further down the track.

We have a very special announcement for our music lovers, Volume One of the Official Squad Soundtrack is available NOW for all our Founders as well as for general purchase via Steam.

After a very busy six weeks post EA launch the development team has spent the past month digging into more of our core game systems in an effort to get them closer to our final vision.

A new year, it's that time of the month again!

It's been a phenomenal couple of days for us leading up to and after launch, just looking at the stats one thing still amazes us and it is the positivity in our community with veterans and newcomers alike.

We can't believe it but it's nearing the release of Squad on Steam Early Access. Everyone on the team is all hands on deck working away on the Steam release build. As a side note our community continues to grow larger with the 10000 registered forum user mark being broken just a few days ago!

It's that special time of the month again! This time we want to flesh each of the items out a little bit more than usual and give plenty of WIP shots and eye candy for our hungry hungry fans.

We had our Kickstarter campaign, which pulled in close to $449,000 CAD (Paypal backers included), officially 244% of our funding goal! We wish to thank the over 4,500 backers who saw and believed in our vision for the tactical shooter genre.

Our Kickstarter has finally (excuse the pun) kicked off, and also its time for our monthly update in the world of Squad Development! We just want to say THANK YOU to everyone who has backed us thus far, and to encourage everyone to keep on spreading the Squad name!

This month we have ramped up internal testing with developers and select community members, playing with over 30 players in a round with only a few minor hiccups, and the results are very promising! We're aiming for bigger and better in future tests.

It is time for our monthly update for February 2015!

Every month we'll be releasing a monthly recap to highlight the progress we have made on Squad and take the opportunity to show off some of our work.

When I first joined Squad, our weapons roadmap was in place and artists had weapons assigned to them. There were a few assets that were floating in limbo because no one had claimed them. The M249 was one of them, I mean - how hard could it be?
