Overhaul of the Multiplayer Progression System

Hello there, Scyron!

We’re happy to share that, in Patch 1.1, we are moving from shared session saves to a fully individualized progression system. Whether you play solo or join a friend, your unlocks and upgrades are now tied permanently to your own personal profile.

1. Individualized Progression: Your Journey, Your Profile

• How it works now:
  When you open a save slot, it creates what we call a player profile. This slot will gather your personal unlocks, progression spending, and Ages rewards from both solo & co-op sessions launched from it, regardless of whether you are the host.

• Buying upgrades in multiplayer hub:
  During a co-op session, all players can buy Wargears and Essences upgrades that they will carry over.

• The Hourglass:
  This will be only accessible to the host during a multiplayer session, and each player will keep their own echoes.

• Unlocking Ages & Mechanics:
  The ages and mechanics available during a session are those of the Host. If you defeat a boss together, it unlocks the next age in all players' progression (e.g., if the host is Age -4 and you are Age -2, you will unlock Age -5 and Age -3 respectively).

• UI Update:
  Only your specific resources and upgrades will be visible in the UI to prevent confusion.

• Host Save Copying:
  This remains available if you wish to carry over past group progression.

What stays with your personal profile:

• Upgrades:

  • Echoes

  • Hourglass upgrades (if you are host)

  • Shards

  • Wargear upgrades

  • Essence upgrades

  • Unlocked evolutions.

• Unlocked Content:

  • Ages

  • New Mechanics.

In a nutshell, no matter whose game you join, every upgrade bought is a permanent step forward for your Scyron.

2. Multiplayer Stability

Aside from progression, addressing connectivity issues is our main priority. We’re committed to delivering a smooth experience:

• We are running tests to identify the cause of latency issues reported in some regions

• We are continuing to fix multiplayer desyncs

• We will provide regular updates on our progress

3. Looking Forward

We are also actively working on:

• Performance Optimization: Refinements to enhance system efficiency and frame rates

• Saving and Resuming: We are working hard to find a solution for saving active runs

• Gamepad Integration: Active development of Controller Support

Our mission remains to develop a rewarding experience for all 40,000+ of you. Please continue sharing your thoughts on Steam, Reddit, and Discord!

⚠️ Note: The 25% discount is ending this Sunday, April 5th. If you have friends waiting to join the fight, now is the perfect time!

Thanks a ton!
