So, real quick. We haven't forgotten about Contagion. However, Outbreak is releasing next month, so it's been quite busy and all of the attention has been on it.
A few months back, I did have a little bit of time on my hands and actually tried to update the game. However, I ran into some issues and was unsuccessful.ːsteamfacepalmː
We got ahold of the original programmer to get his workflow and see if there was something I was doing wrong, but we couldn't figure it out at the time (also, he had been out of the game for awhile).ːsteamsadː
You can watch dev streaming of Outbreak through Twitch or YouTubeːsteamhappyː:

Once things slow down for Outbreak, we'll go ahead and take another crack at updating Contagion. Sadly, we don't have anyone dedicated (and really can't afford it right now) to OG Contagion.
I just realized that my head has been down in the sand (I rarely have any spare time) and it's been 4 months since the last update. Time flies. I know you've probably heard this song and dance before but I know from the bottom of my heart that we wish we could clone ourselves and work on both games at the same time. But we can't ːsteamsadː

9/21 - Haven't been on here for awhile. I was
NOT on the original Contagion dev team. I was brought on for Contagion VR: Outbreak, and that's it. So is everyone else on the team.
The fact that I was planning on doing something in my
FREE spare time to get this thing back on track, was just that…a plan. Source Engine is old as hell, like so old… I am an Unreal Engine 4 developer first and foremost.
So, yeah, plan failed. I am very open and honest, so I tell it how it is.
Many of you don't understand game development or programming, and as a consumer you don't have to.
You all have the right to be mad that the game was not maintained after awhile. No one is trying to take that away from you all.
Just have some patience and empathy. All I am asking.
