Hiatus Notice
This mod has been on hiatus for a long time now, but I completely forgot to announce it here. If you're on the Discord server, you don't need to waste your time reading this as I already announced it in there a month ago.

Why Is It On Hiatus?

The original plan with Redemption was to essentially start small and to continuously update the mod about once per week. While the updates would be small and only include maybe a new enemy or item, it seemed like a perfect idea!

Unfortunately, this turned out to be very flawed. Behind the scenes, a lot of the stuff we have planned is more complex to add and isn't something we can just whip up in a short period of time. Furthermore, by only having such a small amount of content at launch, we all felt like we had to try to get things done as fast as possible to let us know that the mod is alive.

This also leads to problem two. The mod's current code base is laggy and buggy. I myself started coding this mod back in May when I was relatively new to modding this game. During the later months, I've gotten a lot more experienced with modding. I came to the decision that the mod is due for a complete rewrite in order to address numerous bugs and poor optimization.

What's Next?

The team decided to essentially work on a reboot of this mod. We may still call it Redemption (likely not Community Pack though, as the direction of the mod has shifted a bit). The reboot will not only have the mod be rebuilt from scratch, but we are going to be adding loads of new content to the point it feels like a full-on expansion of the game.

In the relaunch, you can expect:

- 20+ New Items
- 50+ New Enemies
- 9 New Bosses
- A lot of other cool goodies

I can't give an exact number (except for the bosses) as not all of our planned features have been 100% finalized and some of the not-finalized concepts can be scrapped.

Progress

Ever since the mod was released initially, the size of the team has increased. We've even got a few really cool enemies and other goodies complete that we can't wait to show off!

If you guys want to stay up to date with progress, check out our Discord server in the mod's description! We post sneak peeks for the mod there.

When will it come out?

Definitely not this year! I can't give an exact date since the amount of content planned to add is far from trivial, especially since each feature we want to add is something we want to ensure is perfected and can help keep the game fresh.

When the mod is 100% done and ready to come out, we'll announce a release date.

Will this version of the mod still be updated?

No. If you find any bugs or you are lagging, just uninstall it.

Whatever you do please try to optimize so the mod causes as little lag as possible, by far the most important aspect of how mods are activated in people's load orders. Thank you for making enemies and content to keep the game fresh. Best of luck to you and the team

Hey Judas, that's definitely our #1 priority! Behind the scenes, with the rewrite, I've heavily optimized a lot of the previous problematic systems.

We're hoping that with the update, everyone will have a much smoother experience, especially with the recent Repentance update that optimized callbacks :steamthumbsup:
well whenever the relaunch happens i will get it
