- Working on a new game ~ Captain Clive: Danger From Dione - 23 March 2020
What is this game? Captain Clive: Danger From Dione is not a direct sequel to The Pillage, but instead is a personal sequel. It's been nearly two years since the release of The Pillage and I wanted to make something new. In CC:DFD, you play as Captain Clive, or one of his crew members. You land your small ship in Ophacland, a residential colony of Dione, moon of Saturn. Upon exiting the ship you find that there are no humans left in the colony and that aliens have overthrown the area. Your goal is to mow down hordes of aliens while staying alive. As you play through the waves, the game continues to get more difficult. To deal with this difficulty, you must balance your resources while making strategic decisions through combat and spending. Is this game for me? Do you like first person shooters? Do you like third person shooters? This game has both. Do you like endless waves of enemies?…

Thank you all for joining me today to celebrate this massive new update for The Pillage - Version 2.0.0! The World The gamespace now has depth. AI will appear at random depths on the sidewalk.

- Prepare For a Massive Update - 7 February 2019
Valentine's Day 2019 is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate than playing The Pillage! The new update, among many other things, will include many new weapons, a much more immersive world, significantly less lag, a new enemy, special abilities, and new perks. Along with this massive update, the game will be moving to a one-time pay-to-play system. As the game has increased in quality, it has such increased in value. With the release of the new update, the game will be moving to $0.99 USD. I have full intention to hold my promise that this update will be the biggest update and thus the biggest improvement to the game so far. All of the money that is made from this game will be put back into it after the initial overhead has been covered. I hope to continue to provide the community with masses of additional content in the future and moving this game to paid will allow t…
- August 14th Update: HarvestSword- The Newest Weapon, New Tutorial, Lots of Random Improvements - 14 August 2018
The title says a lot, but here's what's changed: There's a new power swing weapon: The HarvestSword This weapon is unlocked with "The Third Milestone" achivement. It's biggest strength is in its speed, only slowing you down 40% making it the lightest power swing weapon. It comes in two colors, iron and a brownish bone color. There's also a new tutorial. To be honest, the old tutorial was easily overlooked and really was just awful, so I made a new. The new tutorial can be accessed by starting a new save game or through the options menu. Now you can also change the volume before the initial setup/tutorials are over. Really it should have been an option long ago. A lot of other little changes were made that make the game overall better, but they really aren't worth noting here.
- August 11th Update - A much requested feature! - 12 August 2018
You guys kept asking for it, so I added the option to have secondary attack binded to the right mouse (or R, because there's someone who's playing with the keyboard only controls). I also adjusted some of the user interface stuff Also made the Hellhammer's existence more obvoius. I'm going to be working on more updates soon, and actually posting about the updates now that steam is letting me!
