In 2010, Tragnarion Studios released 'The Scourge Project: Episodes 1 & 2' (TSP) for sale on Steam and several other digital download vendors. The multiplayer and co-op modes of TSP used the Gamespy service, which unfortunately will stop working in May 2014 (see
http://www.poweredbygamespy.com/pricing/). While we are very sorry for the discontinued multiplayer/co-op support for TSP, we have a surprise for you that we hope will make up for it!
On April 2nd 2014, Tragnarion Studios released 'Scourge: Outbreak', a heavily overhauled and vastly improved remake of TSP on Steam for PC and Mac. While TSP used Gamespy for its multiplayer and co-op modes, Scourge: Outbreak uses Steamworks instead. As a big 'Thank you!' to all the loyal fans who bought the original TSP, all owners of TSP will receive Scourge: Outbreak for FREE. If you had TSP on Steam, then you should already have the remake in your Steam library. If you own TSP but did not buy it on Steam, then all you need to do to get a free Steam key for Scourge: Outbreak is reply to this mail with the text "FREE GAME!" in the e-mail body and we will send you a key which you can redeem on Steam.
Since the launch of Scourge: Outbreak on Steam, we have been actively listening to and interacting with our awesome Steam community. One of the most frequently requested features has been AI Bot support for multiplayer modes, so we are happy to announce that we have been making great progress with this! In order to improve the Bots as much as possible before officially patching them into the game, we have made a Beta update available. For more information on this, please check out this post on the official Scourge: Outbreak Steam forum:
