Day of Infamy

Experience intense close-quarters WWII infantry combat, from the entrenched shores to the battered streets in Day of Infamy. What started out as an Insurgency mod has transformed into a full-fledged standalone game built with Source Engine.

Gameplay Features

Gritty Objective-Based Experience
Intense core infantry mechanics and a simplified HUD create a highly visceral and immersive experience. With a reinforcement wave system tied to objectives, the game maintains an emphasis on teamwork and coordination.
Squad-Based Role System
Squad system built upon role-based player classes, which are asymmetrical based on what team you are on. Depending on your supply points, you may customize and upgrade your gear, affecting your appearance, weight, stamina, and movement speed.
Strategic Leadership and Artillery Strikes
Officers can direct their team in the field. In addition to a wide variety of command options, they may call in an intense artillery barrage on the enemy, if a radio operator is nearby.
Local and Radio Communications
Local VOIP is used to talk to your teammates in the game, but be careful because the enemy can hear you if you’re close enough. Radio operators also serve as a communication beacon to those around them, as HQ and radio operator chatter can be heard through them.
Nostalgia
The game aims to be a continuation of the gritty WWII experience established by the Day of Defeat mod for Half-Life in 2001. It builds off the atmosphere and nostalgia of this classic experience, but adds more visceral and intense core infantry mechanics.

Development Goals

Throughout Early Access NWI plans to expand content and features up until the full release. While the below details are subject to change, they outline NWI’s current goals when it comes to finalizing the game experience.
Level Design
One of the main goals we plan to focus on during early access is making each level as fun and visually impressive as possible. The implemented maps are intentionally bare of details for the early access launch, so they will be modified based upon feedback more easily.
Character, Weapon and Faction Diversity
Canadians, Indians, Italians, Black-Americans, Japanese-Americans, US paratroopers, German paratroopers, British Commandos. All new factions will have corresponding characters, arsenals and voice acting.
New Game Modes
When factions such as commandos and paratroopers are introduced, there will be new associated multiplayer and cooperative game modes introduced along with them.
New Maps
While we have a few new environments in mind, we are eager to see what the community creates in the form of custom maps for the game during early access. We may very well include community-created maps in the final release of the game.
Polished Visuals
We aim to replace any placeholder content with highly polished artwork by the time the game ships.
Rankings
Players will eventually be able to track their personal statistics and game mode rankings amongst other players.
Linux Support
Linux and SteamOS will be supported eventually. We are aiming for later in the year, 2016.
Community Requests
Similar to our methods with Insurgency’s Early Access, we strive to allow our community’s help to shape this game. We keep our ears open for community feedback and ideas to ensure the best ideas are considered when they fulfill our design goals for the game.
