Incline Ion Fury (formerly Ion Maiden) - Build Engine powered FPS by Duke Nukem 3D mappers - now with Aftershock DLC

[Curratum]

Ion Fury: Aftershock DLC will be released in summer 2021. The soundtrack for the game is written and composed by Jarkko Rotsten. The OST is actually almost ready, as in the final polishing state. The soundtrack will be filled with more than 60 minutes of tracker music.
The soundtrack will be released on all major digital platforms when the game is released. Watch this space!
Ion Fury is developed by Voidpoint and published by 3D Realms.

If only the other new games from 3D Realms were as good as IF at music...

Shhhh! You'll offend Andrew Hulshult and then no upcoming boomer shooter will have a soundtrack ever again, because he's making all of them, apparently! :D

 

[Baron Dupek]

A tiny improvement over vanilla ost iirc.
Don't care about feelings when your work speaks by itself... if you don't forget about it after closing the game, that's how good? it is.

 

[OctavianRomulus]

The buildup is is meh but once the song starts it's really good.

Sooo how long til someone hires this guy to work on a Crusader No Regret sequel/reboot...... ?

Got it on the last GOG sale and having fun with it. Lots of reloads. Levels are okay but get boring fast. The gameplay is fast and fun. Like the weapons I have unlocked so far, but it seems you can handle most things with the starting revolver alone and maybe the grenades. Why does the shotgun look like a grenade launcher? I hate that the grenades don't explode unless they hit an enemy. Enemy variety does not seem to be good. Music is okay I guess. Will definately get the expansion for this.

Shotgun looks like grenade launcher cuz alternative fire is grenade launcher.

 

[SharkClub]

The shotgun doesn't look like a grenade launcher, it is one. It fires 40mm buckshot (which is a real thing) and loads 40mm explosive grenades for its alt fire.

 

[Curratum]

The gods have forsaken us. Ashes is still not out, Thief Black Parade doesn't seem like it's going to come out this year as well. This game's fucking expansion is still nowhere to be seen. Summer 2021 probably means the last day of September to 3DR.

Five bucks says WRATH will also be delayed once again.

There will probably be more news next month during Realms Deep

 

[Curratum]

Friendly reminder that almost none of the games announced at last year's Realms Deep are out, and that the indie retro shooter niche is generally garbage.

About the shotgun, like the revolver it's based on a real weapon

Google Milkor MGL. It's a grenade launcher which can shoot a wide variety of projectiles, including non lethal ammo. But AFAIK it doesn't work with shotgun-like ammo.

 

[Infinitron]

After defeating Heskel in her previous adventure, Shelly Harrison decides to celebrate at a local bar. When explosions interrupt her tasty beverage, she rushes out to find Heskel in a monstrous flying machine, cackling madly as he rockets away toward a mushroom cloud on the horizon.

Instinctively, she reaches for her Loverboy revolver, cocks it, and searches for the fastest transportation she can find - a sleek and powerful high-speed Hover Bike, armed with Drunken Homing Plasma Missiles. Shelly's fight against Heskel continues with multiple brand-new zones to explore, new dangerous enemies, new armaments to destroy them with, and some amazing high-speed vehicle combat.

Like classic expansions, Aftershock offers a brand new Arrange mode. Whether playing for the first time or revisiting Ion Fury, choose Arrange mode to experience the original game but now enhanced with new enemies, weapons and more.

Still no release date

 

[Jenkem]

a release date would imply 3D realms is a competent company.

they aren't.

The Vietnam-era M79 had buckshot rounds, so why couldn't this have such rounds?

 

[Zombra]

The Vietnam-era M79 had buckshot rounds, so why couldn't this have such rounds?

The devs must have forgot that a shotgun could be made to use buckshot. You should write them and remind them! I'm sure they'd be grateful.

 

[PEACH]

If I wasn't explicitly told these trailers were new footage I'd have assumed it was shit from the base game I forgot about

Talking about the Milkor IRL not the game's shotgun.

It's okay, there is always Hedon Bloodrite.

 

[thesheeep]

Damn. Was looking forward to it in the near future.

Oh, well... more Blade Of Agony it is, then.

this is the only place that has said this and I wonder where they got it... 3DR really fucking hates communicating things to its actual customers.

My question is, "When?" When, and importantly, where will this be announced that they are taking orders? I'm so out of the loop on these things.
