[h2]Studio News[/h2]

Hello everyone, Reissad Studio was at Gamescom 2024 (Léo, zoox (Our manager) and Luca from left to right)!

We had the chance to meet tons of amazing people who will help us continue to push Bodycam in multiple ways for the direction we want Bodycam to go in. This is really promising, and we are really excited to see where it'll lead us all!

We cannot announce anything officially any of our projects at the moment as we are still in the early-talks stage but the future seems brightfor Bodycam gamers.

We are also back from vacation, which means that updates are slowly going to be back, and we have more motivation than ever! More information about that in the near future, so stay tuned... 👀

See you soon!

Bodycam update V0.1.2.6

ADDED

• NEW GAMEMODE: Gun game
  Each player begins with a basic pistol. You're upgraded to the next weapon every time you kill 3 enemies with your gun. When someone cycles through all weapons, the match ends.
  
• NEW MAP: Bomb House
• (BODYBOMB MODE ONLY)*
  The house bomb is a defense and attack simulation for the Body bomb mode. It puts you in the position of a team who must find a way to defuse a hidden bomb in a house.
  
• NEW MAP: Backroom (Added because the easter egg has been found)
  "If you're not careful and you noclip out of reality in the wrong areas, you'll end up in the Backrooms, where it's nothing but the stink of old moist carpet, the madness of mono-yellow, the endless background noise of fluorescent lights at maximum hum-buzz, and approximately six hundred million square miles of randomly segmented empty rooms to be trapped in. God save you if you hear something wandering around nearby, because it sure as hell has heard you…"
  
• Music
  Added "Apophis" by KIL KROOK.
  

CHANGES

• Head Clip
  You can't see through walls anymore.

• FSR 3
  Better optimization and FPS Boost (It depends on your configuration, we recommend you try it to see if you get more fps.)
  
• UI: Map & Gamemode Selection
  We've modified the display of game modes and maps. From now on, you'll first select the mode and then the maps available for that mode. Like before, please note that some maps are unique or only available in certain modes. We've also added information such as “new / update / patch / and more...” to give you information on the status of a game mode or map.
