Hey, folks. I ran into a bug in the demo which could create some pretty significant changes in how movement feels, so I've decided to bring the playtest back as a "beta branch." I would greatly appreciate it if you'd check the playtest out and let me know how you feel about movement with the bug fixed. Thanks! - Sage Bug Fixes - Fixed the player being able to open the equipment menu while selec…

Look forward to some new content additions coming with the demo at the end of the week! Thank you to everyone who has tried the playtest. This game wouldn't be half as fun or polished without you, it really means the world. Changes - The hover pack wi…
Hey folks, the highlight of this patch is the new tracks for the start menu and garage- hope you like them!

Hey folks, turns out new players were not being forced into the profile creation menu and that was causing people to load into the wrong stage or not receive upgrades. Very sorry about missing this, I must have skipped validating that things were working for brand new players amidst all the excitement of getting this update out. Entirely my bad Bug Fixes - Fixed new players not being brought th…
Hey folks, lots of stuff in this one. The big thing is that I've now introduced (optional) extraction mechanics!

There are also a bunch of Quality of Life and presentation improvements, so let me know what you think! Features/Content - Added optional extraction mechanics. Yo…

Hey folks, just a small patch to help onboarding a little.
