Incredible retro FPS Selaco adds a new 'Special Campaign' in another huge update

Celebrating six months since the intial Early Access release, the awesome retro-fuelled Selaco has another really big update out now. It's actually kind of ridiculous how much they keep squishing into the game.

This follows on from a recent Beta, but now it's available to everyone. The major addition is the new Special Campaign mod which is a blend of "New Game Plus and Randomizer Mode" adding in:

• A fully customizable campaign experience.
• ARPG-style rarity system for both enemies and weapons.
• Weapon Trait system where weapons can have new effects and behaviors.
• Random Encounter system where new enemies can spawn into the level in real-time.
• New unique enemy variants of existing enemies.
• Randomization options including shuffled pickup locations, randomized weapon spawns, mystery boxes, and more.

By itself that would be an awesome update but there's a whole lot more to it.

Altered Orbit Studios also added in support for Steam Cloud, Geforce NOW, smarter tutorial prompts, reworked headshots, improved visuals, improved gun sound effects, more upgrades, improvements to the gore system, melee improvements, enemies will react to getting shot in the legs now, save game protection, new mutators to try and much more.

Due to how big the update is they've moved more story content to sometime in January - February 2025, with Chapter 2 development continuing "rapdily". They gave some teaser info about Chapter 2 including:

• One of the levels takes place in a mansion.
• New defensive items, including a deployable Mini-Turret which comes with its own upgrade tree.
• Heavy Weapons. These weapons are extremely powerful, but cannot be stored in your inventory and are thrown away once depleted.
• Enemy Miniguns can be picked up.
• Drop Pods that can result in unexpected encounters when venturing outside.
• Friendly NPC's.
