Latest Steam announcements

  • Fixed Survival Crash! - 23 May 2021

    Fixed Survival Crash!

  • Updated Matchmaking and Cross Platform play - 18 January 2020

    PC players can now play with iOS players and match making has improved in general so hopefully you find better matches. Spread the word :)

  • STO Updated + Free Demo - 30 September 2019

    Hey guys, I'm back working on updating STO after some health issues. Based on feedback there are a bunch of changes: - 3 grenades per match per type: this should help esp with smoke to come up with new tactics to plant or defend; The frag, flash and fire grenades were nerfed a bit since you can have 3 or them - Silencers got nerfed. - FREE MP DEMO. You can play online for free and earn gold. To spend the gold, view replays and play Survival you need to upgrade to the full game - new Legendary weapon: Beast Mode AK47 - game now supports different screen solutions (ie 4K) nicely now - I'm open to any ideas for future updates! let me know in the discussion board :)

  • Custom Matches Time Limit Option - 8 May 2016

    As promised, a new option has been added for Custom Matches with no Planning Stage time limit so you can take your time to play with a buddy 1 vs 1 or 2 vs 2 with many buddies :) Matchmaking has reverted back to fall back for a while till we pick up more players. If you dont want to play against a higher rank just back out for now. Tell your friends and ENJOY

  • Matchmaking - 4 May 2016

    Before, high ranking players would first look for another high rank and if can't fine within X seconds then fall back to find any match. We have now kept the pools separate with no fall back so you might wait a little longer but be matched with someone closer to your rank. Also, the default weapon class is GOOD ENOUGH to win. Alternative weapons have their own drawbacks but open up alternate play styles. enjoy

  • Support for GL2! - 26 April 2016

    If you guys wanted GL 2 support, it should be working now on the BETA branch. right click on Special Tactics go properties select BETA select prerelease voila! Let us know if this fixes your GL issue. There's still an outstanding isuse we are looking into into OLD CPUs. we are trying to let as many people as possible enjoy the game thanks!

  • Support older computers + SURVIVAL COOP? - 25 April 2016

    We are working hard to add support for older GPUs that dont support GL 3.0. Hopefully we can get it in before the release or shortly after. Also, there seems to be an issue with older CPUs that we are looking into. Add me as a friend to work with us to fix this if possible. Also, there's lots of requests for SURVIVAL CO-OP. Let us know how interested you are in this. We can plan it out to go in shortly after release. The first version will be like PvP squads where you and a friend each control 2 soldiers to complete the objectives. How does that sound?

  • New AUG Weapon and AWP Asiimov finish being added - 21 April 2016

    The AUG is the longest range and weakest SMG. It's a cross between an Assault and SMG. http://imgur.com/YEbkZ27.jpg The Asiimov finish for the AWP is obviously inspired by the CSGO finish and added for fun :). http://i.imgur.com/IcAC1K4.jpg Getting closer to release date! The game is still at a LOW PRICE till launch.
