First of all, we have to say a huge thank you to everyone! It’s been an amazing first week seeing our game out in the wild and seeing people play it. Truly a dream come true for the two of us. We look forward to continuing to support the game.
We’ve seen the feedback and we’ve got you with our first set of fixes (yes including the fix to protect your eardrums!).
We hope to address all the comments and concerns, and we promise you are heard and appreciated! Please bear with us over the next few weeks as the two of us continue to work as hard as we can on a multitude of other changes and fixes. More options coming soon, and more content!
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Fixed deafening sound on respawn!
- Removed scanlines from codex QR codes to make them easier to scan. (try using the Google Lens app if you are still facing issues, we are planning to bring these lore entries in-game in order to make the scanning optional. All achievements are obtainable simply by walking up to the golden PDAs).
- Tutorials have been re-written to be more descriptive.
- Fixed the “REAPER” boss respawning after death.
