Intravenous 2 News

What's next? #1

Hey folks!

Intravenous 2 has been released, but that doesn't mean work on it has finished.
In this post I will talk about the upcoming content for version 1.1.

Features marked as "(IN CONSIDERATION)" are not yet a 100% guarantee of being added to the game, and are preliminary considerations as potential features.

[h2]Planned content for version 1.1[/h2]


[h3]BASE GAME[/h3]


Ammo types:
  • Beanbag rounds for shotguns - for loud, non-lethal playthroughs. Or when you want to have a non-lethal primary.
  • Rubber bullets for all other firearms (IN CONSIDERATION) - same as beanbag rounds, but can be used in fully automatic weapons and the like.


Weapon modifications:
  • 10MM Auto caliber conversion for MP5 - something that I thought would be cool to have in the game, as a way of having another 10MM full-auto weapon. This might lead to more caliber conversion weapon mods, so stay tuned!


Gameplay mutators:
  • Volatile Weapons - starting a mission with some kind of weapon and not exfiltrating with it in your possession will remove it from your owned weapons list, which means you'll have to re-purchase it.
  • Fog of War (IN CONSIDERATION) - the player will only be able to see what he is physically able to see, with enemies that are out-of-sight being obscured.


Miscellaneous
  • Object interaction scheme from Intravenous 1 - something people have asked for a return of, and I'll be happy to oblige.


[h3]SUPPORTER PACK[/h3]

  • 9MM caliber conversion for Vector 10MM - some people have asked for the possibility to have this weapon chambered in 9MM, and your wish is my command!
  • new weapons - in the consideration list are: DP-12, P90, Five-seveN, and M1911. Not saying that all of them will make the cut, but these are the weapons I am currently considering, based on how unique/iconic they are.


This list is preliminary, and there may be more additions as development of the update heats up.

This is just the first planned content update for the game, so stay tuned for future updates!
On the to-do list for one of the future big updates is the map editor, and Steam Workshop support.

Remember to report any issues you run into!

Thanks for reading, hope you're enjoying the game!

Version 1.0.1

Hey folks!

This patch fixes various issues reported by the community since the game launched.

[h2]Version 1.0.1 - fixes[/h2]
- fixed a spot where the player could get stuck on in Mob Corporate Front
- fixed switching to specific weapons while carrying a body allowing you to move at full speed
- fixed bad loading of status effects on enemies, resulting in issues such as enemies not losing consciousness when gassed or tranquilized, then saving, and reloading the savefile after quitting to the main menu
- fixed a crash that could have occured with non-standard gamepads
- fixed a crash that could occur when climbing over tall walls
- fixed a crash that could occur related to enemy states when resetting to last save
- fixed being able to get stuck in one of the toilets in "Pablo's Hideout"
- fixed the HUD not showing if dying when the inventory screen is open, until the player would open the inventory screen again
- fixed one of the keycard pickups not unlocking the last keycard door in "Office Building, Top Floor"
- the game will no longer list or load savefiles from the Steam playtest (8 months ago!), which would cause crashes

Currently my focus is on stabilizing the launch of the game. Soon I'll get back to you guys with what's in store for Intravenous 2!

Intravenous 2 is a new top-down shooter with big Splinter Cell energy

Forgive me, but I'm going to sound like an entitled brat for a moment - it's been an unacceptably long time since we got a new Splinter Cell game. Sure, there's apparently a remake of the original in the oven over at Ubisoft, but it's been 11 years since we got any Sam Fisher action. Luckily, there are plenty of stealthy substitutes that can give entitled brats like myself a fix, and the latest, Intravenous 2, gives the formula a top-down twist.

Intravenous 2 is out!

Hey folks!
The time has finally come!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2608270/Intravenous_2/

[h2]Finally, I can say: Intravenous 2 is now out! [/h2]

From those who supported me back at the release of the Intravenous to those who simply added the game to their wishlists during Steam Next Fest – I'm grateful for all the support you've given me throughout the development journey.

Your feedback, bug reports, opinions, and reviews over the course of the first game, the playtest, the "Mercenarism" prologue, and the Next Fest demo have helped shape Intravenous 2 into what it is today. I'm confident that if you liked the first game, then you will love what the second game has on offerand brings you a bit of that video game magic - the kind I grew up with and tried to replicate, as I look back on the games I used to play back in the 90s and early 2000s.

Very soon, I'll be back with news about the game's future support and our upcoming plans.
In the meantime, I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts and, of course, your bug reports. (hopefully in small quantities)

And for time being check out these two bundles:
[h2]1. Intravenous 2: Supporter Bundle[/h2]
A bundle with OST composed by Xtrullor and 2 weapons for everyone who wants to support the development of the game beyond just buying the game. The Supporter Pack will get more weapons in future updates, too!

[h2]2. Intravenous 2 x Intravenous 1[/h2]
A special bundle for owners of Intravenous or everyone who whants to check out game's prequel.

Take care of yourselves and enjoy the game!

Intravenous 2 releases on August 15th

Hey folks!

Intravenous 2 will be released very soon, the release is scheduled for August 15th - in other words, in just two days!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2608270/Intravenous_2/

In fact, the game was finished in June, and in the last two months I did nothing except for polishing the game, fixing bugs, and optimizing it. The result of this work you can clearly see - just recently the minimum CPU spec for the game was lowered!

With that said, it's time to finally announce the languages the game will support at launch:
  • English
  • German
  • French
  • Spanish
  • Brazilian Portuguese
  • Polish
  • Russian
  • Korean
  • Japanese
  • Simplified Chinese
  • Traditional Chinese
  • Turkish

Phew! In total the game has been in development for just over 2.5 years, and now, finally, you'll be able to play it.

Thank you all for playing the playtest, Mercenarism, and the most recent demo version, which was part of Steam Next Fest - your feedback, and bug reports, helped immensely in making this game as good as I could within the development timeframe.

I hope you guys like the game, as it is a very personal project for me, and not just because I've put a lot of time, effort, and passion into it.

See you very soon!
Prepare for the release of intravenous 2.
