  "account": "Selaco, a first-person shooter built in the Doom engine and inspired by FEAR, Half-Life, and System Shock, is set to undergo a massive update. Described as an \"absolute behemoth,\" the game's second chapter, \"The Machines of War,\" will double its size and introduce numerous new features. Chapter two will consist of 19 new campaign maps, equivalent to 6-8 hours of additional content. The update will also bring in an unstoppable machine-like enemy, a heavy machine gun with explosive capabilities, deployable weapons like mini-turrets and sentinel drones, and a heavy ordnance system allowing players to wield large, disposable weapons. The enemy AI has been rewritten from scratch for improved tactics and decision-making, and the first chapter has been overhauled with better set pieces and surprises. Over 100 improvements are planned, including a new lighting and particle system, enhanced navigation, new voice lines, and better controls. The update is set to release on November 13, with existing saves becoming incompatible.",
