Chicken Slaughter(er!)

If you’re curious about what we’re currently working on, we’ve got a fun little sneak peak for you. Aside of the multiplayer update that we’re working on, a lot of players have been requesting if we could do something extra with the chickens as well. So we were thinking, what if you were on a battlefield, surrounded by hordes of chickens? Enjoy! We hope you like it.

Work is continuing each day on the new content and multiplayer update of our game. The urban city level is shaping up rather nicely, right now we’re focusing more on the gameplay side of things rather than the visuals, so it doesn’t look all that great yet. But we’re pretty excited to show you more about it in the near future. Hang in there!

In other news, the first reviews of Foreign Legion: Buckets of Blood are coming online. GeneralGames just posted their thoughts about the game, an interview about Foreign Legion will be going along with that in the near future as well.

If you haven’t checked out the Steam discussion forum yet, make sure to do so! Its the perfect place where you can discuss your thoughts about the game, share tactics and much more. Be sure to take a look!

Good work on the game really love it cant wait for all the new stuff to come out but its probably been said but have you guys ever tried working with vehicles at such because that could add even more blood just running someone over!  But keep up the good work.

I agree with Jasien it needs some minigames like the chickens or like killing as many of the enemys under 5 minutes and wheres the multiplayer we need it and have a great year

By Jasien on September 16th 2009

And gun turrets etc ...

And paradrops ? .. YEAH ! as in in mulitplayer, the people (your side) who are in the waiting room or are dead or smtin can be parachuted in a particular area by the commander ? :)

I think some of you guys comments are missing the idea of the game.  It’s not supposed to be complex and fancy like that.  This game revolves entirely around the gameplay.  Parachuting down is for a different, more serious game, like Arma.  In foreign, you het weapons and co op andnew maps every once in a while,  and you enjoy those, not the flashy visuals.  Take L4D.  The mechanics of thatgame are great.  The coop is incredible, and well suited for that type of game.  When you get a new weapon or map, or enemy, you have tochange ur survival plan.  All I’m saying is,  this game isn’t supposed to be fancy and gimmicky.  It’s supposed to be well built around mechanics


(that turrets does sound good though)

By Jasien on September 18th 2009

What do you mean “Not Complex” .. Then what do you want ? Keep it as it is .. ofcourse not ! We need vechiles turrets and many more lil cool features that would boost the popularity of the game AND also make the game more fun ....

Needs sniper rifle and no civilian mode.

By kidflawless on September 20th 2009

We need a co op mode as well. It would be great to play with friends. U should also add a couple new weapons such as snipers and shotguns. I love you guys. Keep on working hard.

By kidflawless on September 20th 2009

I also forgot to say PLEASE ADD A CAMPAIGN and it would be cool to actually customize your guy. Can’t wait for the next update. YESSS

By killershogun on September 20th 2009

do u now when the update is coming out. Co -op and campaign sounds like a good idea. Great Sakari Indie. Kidflawless great ideas

By pablosanchez on September 20th 2009

u should make the chicken thing like a kind of nazi zombie type of thing from call of duty. it would be the best game ever.

gravatar

By Mamoo on September 21st 2009

Good news! I hope the chickens can attack, that would be kinda like zombies…but they’re chickens.

gravatar

By Jasien on September 22nd 2009

You can have the chickens roam around and when youre close or when you shoot they jump around and fly a bit and smash into you injuring you and when therz lots of em then like surround you and slowly hit you to death xD or smtin like that ...

By dirt1996 on September 25th 2009

PLEASE PUT OUT THE UPDATE SOON!!!!!
I WAS ONE OF THE PEOPLE THAT BOUGHT THE GAME THE DAY IT CAME OUT ON STEAM!!!  PLEASE AT LEAST MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT OF WHEN ITS GOING TO BE OUT!!!!!  I KNOW YOU ARE A SMALL GROUP BUT PLEASE HURRY!!! EVEN A RELEASE DATE WOULD BE BETTER!!!! BETTER YET, A BETA!!!  PLEASE HURRY!!!!

gravatar

By Suomis on September 25th 2009

Well yea I prepurchased it on steam. You know you can turn the capslock off. Press the button between shift and tab. But yea back to topic, a releasedate or beta or some more sneak peaks would be nice. Could you update your blog more often? :P

By 3fing3r3dfi3nd on September 30th 2009

Hows about a map editor? Then you guys could get some help from the community!

gravatar

By dirt1996 on September 30th 2009

Please guys, I know you guys are a group of indie devs, but if you wantt to go pro, you will have to keep up with the communitie.  You haven’t updated Twitter or this site.  Tons of people are looking forward to this update, and you haven’t said a thing.  Valve keeps up with their communitie and that’s why they are so succesful.  They recruirlt modders, and that’s why they are so succesful.  They make games for gamers and fans.  I know there are tons of propel who would love to be a comm rep(wink wink).  Please keep up the work and update often!!!!!!

UPDATE THE WEBSITE

By Major Isoor on October 12th 2009

Hey Sakari Indie, I wouldn’t worry about all these guys complaining about the DLC not coming out ASAP, etc. etc., but I think you guys should strive for quality over speed - which you seem to be doing, which is good.

I’m also pretty excited about the prospect of a multiplayer mode, since I’ve got a few friends who are looking into FL:BoB, who’ll definately purchase it if it does end up getting some sort of multiplayer support.

Keep up the good work!

By Gunpuppet on October 12th 2009

Yeah I agree wih Isoor 100%.
Just one thin, is there a way to see your steam achievement unlocks ?

Thank you,

Max.

By Major Isoor on October 13th 2009

Good to see somebody agreeing with me! :D

And yeah, to view your achievements you’ll need to view your profile, (either through your steam client program or http://steamcommunity.com) view your games list, then under “Foreign Legion: Buckets of Blood” there should be a “View stats” link. Hope it helps!


P.S. Hey uh, Sakari Indie, I think you may have misspelt “Foreign Legionaire” in the achievements list, since it’s spelt without the “e” at the end, unlike in the game description, here’s the link to show you:
