Codename CURE news & patch notes

Welcome Operators! Demo day is here! From now until June 16th, you can play our first demo release of Codename CURE II. It's just in time, too, as marks the 10 year anniversary of Codename CURE's initial Early Access release. Enjoy this anniversary gift, as a treat from us! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45256397/3eeb145b8e4e51beb4341c222987bc3bd5cc9813.png This first demo features approximately 20% of what the full game will have to offer; a vertical slice / taster of what the core gameplay loop will be. We're exceptionally proud of what we've made so far, and we're excited to get this demo in your hands. To play the demo, simply install it from the CURE II Storepage; a Demo button will be present! You will be able to play the Demo as much as you like until Nextfest ends. We're excited to hear what you all think of this small portion of the game. We hope you have as much fun playing it, as we had creating it! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45256397/c9674791d4c400b6e37c3c5f3dc0c80bf8537fb1.jpg GLHF!

- fixed an exploit on csv_compound

Hello Operatives; it's been a while since the last news update. Not everything has gone exactly to plan schedule wise, but we at least have something to show for it. These past six months have been busy; we've been up to a lot (including some things we can’t talk about... yet). We've recently updated our other game 'Gemini: Binary Conflict', to feature a new game mode that CURE fans would certainly enjoy; ‘Incursion’ an objective based co-op PvE mode involving infiltrating an enemy base, completing objectives, performing acts of espionage and ultimately escaping. The mode features advanced AI mechanics, a large map with multiple avenues of approach, and more. The Gemini update was essential in setting up the co-op infrastructure for our next project, but that doesn't mean you guys are going empty-handed. The first immediate thing to announce, is a new, official, highly detailed map for CURE, ‘csv_compound’! Compound is a from-the-ground-up remake of one of the very first workshop maps, ‘csv_complex’, which was made by the amazingly talented ‘Kaleidescoop’. This map is an important part of CURE's legacy, so it only felt right to show it some love. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/9435452/f374a0550678b60edb4527454819a8951fa63c29.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/9435452/8739115c50363d72bc28e129f9da2b1ca1a93481.jpg The new map has a few new features that make it quite different from other Survival maps; namely, the map dynamically grows every few rounds. Instead of a safe room becoming accessible, entire sections of the map dynamically have access opened to them, making the map significantly larger and more complex as the match progresses. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/9435452/8b301e96990c84d8f288789869545ba6315fac9c.jpg Another feature inspired by Kaleidescoop's innovative work, is that this is now the first and only official CURE map to have a neutral NPC that helps you during the match. The APC sports a mounted turret which helps you "thin the herd"; diligently "curing" zombies that are in it's path. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/9435452/13e80fc173fa8b30ef1e141bbccbb7928dcca45f.jpg We've also released the Soundtrack for both CURE and Gemini on Steam, which include some cut/unused/scrapped music to add a hint of development lore, as well as some additional ‘bangers’ for the buck. If you wish to support the development of our projects going forward, I'd highly recommend checking those out. They can be purchased below: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3052720/Codename_CURE__Soundtrack/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/3043360/Gemini_Binary_Conflict__Soundtrack/ We've got more to show in the coming months; we just request your indulgence a little while longer. All we can say for now, though, is that more CURE content is coming soon, and look forward to seeing you all out on the field again. Keep curing those zombies everyone!

- added a maximum time check for the new vehicle leave system (40 seconds) to address some legacy maps showing a very inaccurate bomb timer

- Worked around a client assert / crash issue when connecting to some custom servers which post event text in the chat - Addressed a potential softlock issue in PvP modes when only one player remains in a match - Dedicated server 'SetupDefaultServerSettings' script adjustments to also create a writable 'cfg/mapcycle.txt' which wont be overridden when updating a server

- cbe_frostbite map adjustments including: * slightly reworking jump nodes in the draw bridge section to improve bot navigation in that area * some grenade item spawns + a small table of pickups in the first escape section * addressed bot navigation issues on frozen lake sections caused by lack of move friction - zombie spawn tweaks including: * slight increase to minimum spawn distance from players * hull extremes visibility checks to reduce instances of occasionally ‘seeing’ zombies spawn in - fixed a regression with Chinese translation causing a client crash when loading ccs/cpvp maps

Happy New Year everyone! As a parting gift for the end of 2023, a major update for CURE has arrived. The response to the initial announcement was very overwhelming, and it's great to see how many CURE Operatives are still out there, waiting to come out again. We're so happy to be giving support and getting the old gang back together again. The survival overhaul is here, as well as various balancing changes, adjustments, QoL improvements, and more, and to top it all off, a new bomb escape map has been added to the official roster; cbe_frostbite! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/9435452/0ca8bd5505d8073fe602a1905c8224111651134f.jpg More is planned in the future; namely, more maps for CURE, a pretty big announcement that will be coming soon, and various adjustments to our other projects. The future is looking bright! Check the patchnotes below for a full detailed list: - New cbe map Frostbite! * including two new achievements for completing it on average / insane respectively - bomb escape changes: * vehicle leave time now displays as 0 seconds (to help players better understand how much time they actually have to escape) * added a check to see if a map is using vehicle leave outputs (to preserve expected timer on custom maps that don’t have an escape sequence) * slight tweaks to certain existing official maps to improve qol / escape times - survival changes: * introduced a wave 12 win mechanism with adjusted difficulty curve (to help make survival rounds more qualitative than quantitative) * plank rooms now activate at waves 3/6/9 instead of 5/10/15 * changed wave 15 achievements to now be wave 12 * allow use of both primary weapon and sidearm * resource drops slightly less scarce * round end fail safe now kills remaining zombies + kicks in 10 seconds sooner * chest will not give a player the same weapon twice in a row * wave hud element shows only remaining enemies * reduced next wave start time to 5 seconds if / when all players have used the chest * distance based wave timer to next crate (based on distance to furthest player) * reduced the 3 fail map reset for survival to 1 by default - soldier zombies are now 26% less tanky - corpse / ragdoll fade improvement (so zombies don’t occasionally instantly disappear on death) - new steam input profile based on default controls for better gamepad / steam deck playability (including right stick operating mouse cursor in menus) - new time based rudimentary server auto restart / update system so servers (that opt to use it) can stay up to date more easily, new server setup guide available here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3128717090

Hello again, CURE Operatives. This news post was supposed to happen earlier in the week, but, the team at HQ got a little carried away. The update isn't ready quite yet, but it's going to be, very soon. Last week, we showed off the new CBE map coming to CURE. This week, however, I'd like to focus on the more substantial gameplay changes that are coming to CURE when the next update drops. First, let's talk about Survival. A proper overhaul of Survival missions are on their way. We've noticed over the years that a lot of people find Survival to be a boring endurance run with no real purpose or endgame, and it tends to just drag on and on. I've felt this myself when playing on public servers; oftentimes the teams I was with would all opt to suicide once we lost for the first time, and it took a very long time to reach wave 15, which wasn't even the end initially, just the wave you had to reach in order to unlock the achievements. There was also some more unfun mechanics about that gamemode, especially in regards to the weapon pool, that are being addressed when the update drops. To address all of these, we've made Survival actually have an end goal. Survival maps now end upon completing Wave 12. Reaching Wave 12 results in a "Mission Complete" prompt, and all achievements relating to Survival have been adjusted to reflect this. Also, Survival maps will have the boarded up locations open up at waves 3, 6, and 9, instead of 5, 10, and 15. A lot of people probably didn't even know this was a mechanic in every official survival map, so now you're going to be much more likely to see it happen! The counter at the bottom also from now on will only show how many zombies are left, instead of the old system, hopefully making it much more clear. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/9435452/f70a5a1390c4eb49c632dd8a1e8482095224dbc7.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/9435452/f995f480c9accf274abd729d6061e49e57884c7f.png On top of this, we've made a substantial amount of changes to how Survival Crates work between waves. A few very significant changes are coming, namely: 1. Supply Crates no longer give you the same weapon twice in a row. It will always pick another weapon on the next roll. 2. Supply Crates no longer take away your primary or secondary. Players will always have a side-arm and a primary at all times, allowing you to have a full loadout. Gone are the days of replacing your automatic shotgun with a pew pew pistol; now you can have both! 3. When all players in the match have grabbed from the Supply Crate, the timer instantly goes down to 5 seconds if it's not already there, that way you aren't just sitting around waiting for the next wave to start. These changes make the weapon side of things much more enjoyable and exciting! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/9435452/38c480a83cfcc79a6afb7d8b4eed0f0d6d62f9e6.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/9435452/d44674acaf17ae7dd6507269ba03ffdb6c47e305.gif On top of that, we've made various balancing adjustments. We've increased the drop rate of loot from zombies, reduced how tanky soldier zombies are, and more, making Survival a much more exciting and engaging game mode; one that also can be completed. These changes will carry over to all custom survival maps as well! We've also made some very important QoL improvements to Bomb Escape, so far. The biggest one is the countdown timer will now count down to 0 at the point the vehicle leaves, instead of it being based on how much time is left until the bomb explodes. This means that there's not gonna be any more situations of the timer still having 15 seconds left on it, and you're right at the escape, but the vehicle leaves. It will be much more obvious now, when the vehicle actually leaves. This change carries over to custom maps, too. However, if no outputs are being made when the vehicle escape event is called, this change doesn't carry over, working like it used to, ensuring that this only applies when it is needed. We've also increased how much time you have on multiple maps that really needed that extra boost. And that's not including all the minor adjustments we've made, like adjusting how ragdoll spawning works so that Zombies are no longer phasing out of existence the instant that they are killed, and more. This health update is going to make the game significantly funner and we are very eager and excited to get it out. Now, as one final send-off, some more previews of the newest CBE map coming very soon. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/9435452/ee67c9deab7c9d7eb091cecc291461a9ab9d8bcb.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/9435452/6ff245970840cf47ef466a6440e4b87fc5603ea9.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/9435452/b24867db43350f8ddcad20103d851b2989ac443d.png See you guys next week.

Lots of snow, and lots of cold. The infected seem completely unaffected by the freezing temperatures, but, that's okay; it's nothing your team can't handle. More changes to your operations will be coming soon, too. Various improvements that'll make your missions easier, better, and, dare I say, "funner", with various updates and improvements not just to entire gamemodes, but to individual missions across the board. The C.U.R.E. team's needed once more. Coming soon.

We are excited to announce the release of 'Gemini: Binary Conflict' into steam early access! The passion project from the creators of ‘Codename CURE’, Gemini has been a labour of love for a number of years. It's now finally ready for public release and we invite those who would enjoy a good scrap on a hostile alien planet to come and check it out! Sling black holes at each other and slice people in half! Rebound projectiles around the corner and take down snot pelting gunships - or get shoved around by giant robots; to name but a few of the features. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/9435452/52330cb9fa2dd1244f85e5e7b4b8c0084d6fe748.gif With up to 16 player PvP, 5 player Coop or even just offline play with full AI bot support (plus a smattering of the five player class DNA that made CURE so fun), there's something for everyone when it comes to a battle arena shooter. Come and support our projects (both current and future) and join the action of an interplanetary war! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1293660/Gemini_Binary_Conflict/

As some of you may already know we have been hard at work on a new game / IP from the ground up since the final release of Codename CURE back in 2017. ‘Gemini: Binary Conflict’; a multiplayer, class based, first person shooter, set in an exotic environment in the midst of an interplanetary war. The game makes use of some unusual gameplay mechanics and a bold colourful visual style to try and make something both aesthetically pleasing and fun to play, and although somewhat removed from CURE, the keen eyed among you may be able to spot some aspects of CURE’s stronger genes running through this new project. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/9435452/b1cc36531673d76987fd27c0c305bd21a5956092.jpg Valve's introduction of the steam game festival (which goes live on the 16th of June, and runs to the 22nd) has given us an opportunity to share a free demo with you during this period, in the hopes of garnering some interest and support from the community in the run up to a full early access release. The demo aims to provide a flavour of the player vs player (PvP) aspect of the game, containing three PvP modes across five unique maps, along with full access to two sidegrades of class weaponry, equipment and customisation. The full release of the game will additionally feature a co-operative mode, and class based xp/leveling/unlock system, with more features, maps, modes, weapons, armour sets and other improvements to come throughout the games time in early access. We hope to see you in-game, and look forward to your thoughts and feedback for this inaugural public version of our latest project. GLHF ;) Gemini: Binary Conflict Store Page

All hallows eve 2017, rather appropriately marks the the final release of Codename CURE, departing from the underworld realms of development builds and early access into the land of the living (undead). http://cdn.edgecast.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/9435452/32c119e2cecee30364f1025700cc39020c273bed.jpg Coming from humble beginnings as a hobbyist project just to play with a few friends, to over 2 million activations and an 82% positive feedback rating on PC’s largest gaming platform is quite an amazing achievement. I would like to thank those who supported (and pushed for) the steam launch, all who contributed, have given feedback, up rated and even simply enjoyed their time playing. The game has come a long way since its initial early access release back in 2015, and has been a big learning experience, not only in game design/development but also in feedback, iteration and ultimate release to a sizeable community. Although this project is now at an end, all of this experience will now go to benefit future projects going forward. Some of the more noteworthy improvements that have taken place since the games first early access release include: -------------------------------------------------------- - Additional game modes, including: Survival, a mode whereby players face-off indefinite waves of ever increasing difficulty, unlocking random weapons and barricade areas as they progress. Player vs Player, whereby players take on one another in both deathmatch and gun game scenarios. Custom modes, mappers can manipulate the rules of the modes to create unique co-op or PvP maps, with win/lose scenarios of their choosing. Training mode, to help introduce new players to the games mechanics. - Workshop support, where modders can share their maps and cosmetics for the community to download and play. - New bots built from the ground up, to play the game more effectively, either co-operating with players or taking them on in PvP modes. - All official maps have received high quality remakes with cinematic escapes, as well as additional maps for aforementioned new modes. - In-game vote system, for kicking abusive players, or changing difficulty / maps. - Teamkill autokick system, to heavily reduce this type of trolling the game used to be plagued with. - Player and weapon skins, selectable via skin selection UI. - New zombie animations. - New game icons, logos, trailer and soundtrack, to better match the games look and feel. - Many, many fixes, tweaks and balances, far to great in number to list, but still worth making mention of. -------------------------------------------------------- Enjoy all, have fun, and happy halloween!
