Selaco gets a Special Campaign mode Beta adding a huge New Game+

Finished what's available so far for the excellent retro-inspired FPS Selaco? You may want to jump back in to test the Special Campaign mode Beta.

This new mode is their answer to what other games would call New Game+ giving you the option to replay the campaign with "unique endgame content and randomization, including new enemy types, a weapon rarity and trait system, random encounter mechanics, and more" which sounds pretty awesome.

While it's not the focus of the Beta testing, they've also pulled in lots of enhancements to their build of the GZDoom game engine that includes a lot improvements to the core gameplay. They said more details on all that will be revealed properly when the Beta is over.

Currently their plan is to properly launch this towards the end of November into the stable version, while work continues on the next story chapters.

To try it on Steam you need to manually opt into the "publicbetabranch" Beta in the game properties.
