Update 13: Scenario Creator and Steam Workshop

Update 13: Scenario Creator and Steam Workshop

The After Inc: Scenario Creator is out now for After Inc: Revival on Steam, coming soon to iOS/Android.

In this huge new update, you'll be able to play After Inc. in fresh new ways with Custom Scenarios made by the community, or make your own with the Scenario Creator. We can’t wait to play what you create!

Lead the Way

Start by setting leaders, modifiers, regions, music tracks and difficulty levels as well as custom modifiers and even specific random seeds.

Change the World

Edit Regions to fit your scenarios. Do you want a forested haven or a mountainous zombie hellscape?

Specify resources, terrain type, exploration status, zombie numbers, infestations and more!

Deep Customisation

Tweak core game mechanics including Morale, Authority, Seasons, Zombies, Fighters and more. Make the game play the way you want!

Break the Mould

Once you know your way around, use the advanced editors to create truly unique gameplay experiences.

Set up Goals to tell stories, send players on adventures or lay down the gauntlet with a challenging set of objectives.

Give Survivors new developments to build or edit existing ones to change their costs, benefits and consequences.

Create new resources (or tweak existing ones), whether that's giving the Survivors the ability to drill for oil or … even eat concrete? 

Make it Eventful

Add starting events, points of interest or disable specific types of events entirely.

Want to really get technical? We've included a hugely powerful Lua Scripting Event & Decision Editor with extensive documentation to get you started on your masterpiece.

Create as many complex Events & Decisions as you want, the sky is the limit!

Browse Scenarios

Don't want to make scenarios? Then it's time to play some!

Open up the Scenario Browser or the Steam Workshop to view a whole new world of After Inc. levels!

We can't wait to see what you'll make with these tools! So get on and start creating, because we're going to be featuring the most popular and some of our favourite scenarios on a regular basis!

New Authority Balancing

We've been carefully listening to player feedback on Patience, Authority and beating levels and we are introducing a new authority mechanic.

If you lose all your Authority, you no longer immediately lose the game. Instead, your leader is disgraced and loses the respect of the people. The settlement becomes harder to govern and your final score will be reduced significantly but you can keep playing and win.

We hope that this lets experienced players continue to challenge themselves whilst making things more accessible for new players or people wanting a more relaxed game. (without needing new difficulty settings etc).

What's Next?

Now that we've completed the Scenario Creator, we've only got a few things left to do before 1.0! Currently we are working on Steamdeck support and a brand new campaign…

I always enjoy these because you folks come up with such great stuff.

Also, isn't this art so cool?

Today we're releasing one of our most requested feature: Sandbox Mode along with a number of other expansions for Expeditions..

You're all a critical part of making this game great - thanks for your ongoing feedback!

The Sandbox Update is out on Steam, Android and iOS.

We're still hard at work on the After Inc: Scenario Creator, and also starting to plan out the next campaign! 

Sandbox Mode

Select "Sandbox Mode" when starting up an Expedition to enter a world of unlimited possibilities and no objectives! It's ideal for when you want to build a great settlement at a relaxed pace or try out different ways of playing the game without the responsibilities of leadership.

This can be played on any Expedition.

Expedition Danger

If you're looking for a greater challenge, we've added a new danger level to Expedition "Very High"... Prepare yourself for Infested Borders and a lot more zombies!
Infested Borders can also appear on lower danger levels as well but with reductions in other danger aspects.

Expedition Goals

Expedition Goals have been expanded to give more variety and now include single goals like maximising your population.

Expedition Modifiers

We've added six new modifiers, including infested borders, zombie surprise attacks and improved Fighter healing.

Expedition Maps

We've added four new map layouts in the Expedition rotation! Keep your eyes peeled for them.

From the infinite depths of space comes an utterly alien plague type. Radically new gameplay, mysterious victory conditions, interstellar genes, haunting music and much more. The world will never be the same again.

But when is it out for...

Out now for iOS and Android!

Steam: Out now in the Aliens & Anti-Vaxxers DLC

Consoles: Later this year

Features

Xeno-form the Planet!

Penetrate the Earth’s crust and begin a geological process to convert everything into pure, alien crystal. If any native lifeforms get in the way - simply shatter them in an unstoppable resonance cascade.

Extinction Event!

Use gravitational anomalies to pull meteors out of orbit. Choose whether to focus on crystal geodes to spread infection, EMP bursts to disrupt human technology or even vast, continent killing asteroids from deep space!

Resistance is futile

Humans are utterly insignificant but they can still disrupt you if left alone. G-COM will intelligently deploy advanced technologies including disruptors, defensive satellites, cloud seeding, alien powered computers, artificial tsunamis and more.
