GearStorm Gets Coronavirus Awareness Behavior Modeling, All April Profits Donated to Covid-19 Research! New Biohazard Content, Airborne Zombie Virus, Coughing, Masks, Social Distancing.

Iron City Games is promoting Coronavirus awareness and prevention with a new addition to GearStorm.  GearStorm now has a airborne zombie virus, the player and NPCs can be infected, hand sanitizre, anti-viral medication, and masks.  The new Vanguard quest in the hanger bay will show you how everything works.  We are also donating 100% of all proceeds from the sale of GearStorm in the month of April to Covid-19 research!  

Airborne Zombie Virus!

In GearStorm, the Zombies don't bite you, they cough on you!  And they DO NOT respect social distancing!  When they do, they can infect you with the Phage virus!



You can also still be infected by getting hit by zombies.

New Infection Status:

When you are infected, you occasionally cough, if you aren't social distancing, you can infect other NPCs in the game, they also cough and spread the virus to other NPCs and even back to you if you get the cure!

New Coronovirus Prevention and Cure Loot!

GearStorm now has masks, helmets, and sanitizer to prevent infection by the Phage virus.  Also, there is a cure in the game you can learn about by doing the new infection quest in the Vanguard.

Survival Configuration Screen:

Survival mode now has the same save/load and options screen as campaign.



Also many of our 500+ buildable items were fixed so they look better when overlapping.  As always, our programming team included many bug and performance enhancements in this release also detailed below:
