This week in The Red Front, we have been spending time balancing, bug fixing and improving various aspects of the game. We are very close to drawing down on development and have started to prepare the marketing materials.
The last two weeks have been spent bug fixing, improving and balancing game play. The Red Front is now largely feature complete with the addition of the secret level as well as the completion of Hitlers tank on the final Berlin mission.
This week we took some time from development to showcase The Red Front at a local Indie Dev night at Netherworld Arcade in Brisbane.
Being the first public show of the game, this was a large milestone for the project. There were a large array of players with different skill levels, ranging from brand new gamers all the way to professional game designers from the other studio’s on the night.
This week in The Red Front we have been working on delivering the two latest missions – Vilnius and Prokhorovka.
This release also features the Nazi Super Tank, Super Soldier, Remote Bomb and Laser Tanks. Read more below!

This week we have spent a large portion of time re-working the enemy AI systems. The Nazi AI has been improved to make it more believable and make it far more of a threat to the allied soviet soldiers.
