Firstly, in celebration of Patch Day, we’re discounting Bombshell by 33% this week. For anybody who was on the fence about the game, we hope that makes your decision easier!
And thanks to those of you who supported us from day 1, we’ve put together this fantastic 1.1 update. To call it a “patch” would be doing it a disservice. We’ve scoured every critical review (good and bad), but more importantly, every user review, and we compiled a list of to-do’s that we agreed would improve the overall player experience.
A bunch of changes went into this update, and the team at Interceptor worked tirelessly to get it out in just a matter of weeks. A more complete list of changes can be found here.
While some journalists weren’t so kind to us, the user reviews on Steam were Mostly Positive from the start, and we think that’s representative of the game. It’s not the best game, but we feel it’s a pretty good game, especially for the reasonable price -- and it’s a game everyone at Interceptor and 3D Realms is proud of. And if you liked the game we shipped, we think you’re going to LOVE 1.1.
1.1 also includes FREE DLC, in the form of Shellshock Missions. This is an arcade/retro throwback mode that presents players with a series of challenges, like completing a level with only abilities, or on a time trial -- and lives completely separate from the campaign. You can select this mode from the Main Menu, the screenshot below will give you an idea for what you can expect.
Thanks for all your wonderful feedback, and please keep it coming. We’ve got other exciting projects in the works already, but we intend to continue to support Bombshell. If there’s anything you think we can do to improve the game, or any DLC content you’d be particularly excited to see, be sure to drop us a note on the forums!

Often, the bad reviews will weigh heavier than the positive, and we wanted to use that to improve as a studio.
Keep an eye on this thread the following weeks!
We <3 you guys for all the support!

They should had delayed it a couple of months or something, releasing it full of bugs only hurt them.
TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."
"A tangled tale of sex, violence, power, junk food..."

yep treid some levels in launch version and it was kinda very flawed , but some good stuf there too.... (there is quite a lot examples of messed up launches with pretty fine games nw after some patching .... for example Carmageddon or Skyshine's Bedlam, both of them are pretty greatn right now after heavy patching and even with another huge improvement patch in making)

Indeed, there's that 'roughness' typical of early access games, and the more you progress, the worse it gets (I had to stop halfway through it, since my lady would get stuck between assets or simply fall from invisible terrains   ).
It's a shame because the gameplay itself isn't that bad really, it's the typical brainless pew fun.

Now that looks great, hope they can find some good designers for the maps, that's vital  |

Several hotfixes has been released fixing some more reported bugs after the 1.1 update, mostly smaller patches but the latest two were around 450 MB each with the last update being released just a few minutes ago.

Hi Guys!
I think you guys deserve an update on what's going on atm. with Bombshell and the future of Interceptor.
Times have been rough.. Bombshell didn't do as well as we expected, leaving us in a very difficult situation. Our following game, Rad Rodgers, had been in development prior to the Bombshell release, so we wanted to wrap that up first to see if we could turn things around.
Unfortunately we had to pull the plug as a studio.
Those are really sad news, and a major part of why we've been silent.
We've been working for months on a rescue-plan for the studio, and we didn't want to update you guys before we actually had something substantial to talk about.
We do now;
We're starting up again, under a new name (More info coming soon!).
Our next goal is to make a new agreement with 3D Realms, and get 1.3 out of the door, while working on console ports.
Bombshell was the biggest and most ambitious game we've ever worked on.
It's very dear to our hearts, and not something we want to abandon.
The past 6 months have been very rough, but there's a light at the end of the tunnel.
I'll personally keep you guys updated as things progress - but I want to make sure I can update you with something substantial 
Thanks for hanging in there! |

Wonder if that ends the episodic Rad Rogers too then, don't see why 3D Realms would agree to anything but minimum terms for supporting them after they failed to deliver two (more?) games so far but I don't know much about these things on game development but eh could just be pessimistic but I don't see 3D Realms co-operating with them again when they've not been able to deliver.
EDIT: Ah they're hoping on the console ports I suppose.

If it is free I am fine with that since I got this in a recent bundle but if they try to charge for the upgrade, I will pass.
