Patch #3 - The "My Therapist Suggested This" Update

First, Thank You

Thank you to everyone who has purchased the game, posted a postive review, shared feedback, and continued helping me improve Artificial Extinction 2.I've been reading a lot of your comments and watching gameplay videos. A common theme continues to emerge: players want more time to react, more reliable defenses, and fewer moments where the game feels unfair.So naturally, I booked an appointment with a therapist.The result is Patch 1.0.03.

What's Changed

Level 4 - Additional Difficulty BalancingLevel 4 continues to receive adjustments based on player feedback. The goal is to make the mission challenging without feeling overwhelming.Turret Range Increased +10%All turrets now have a 10% increase in range.This should help defensive networks engage enemies earlier, improve overlap between structures, and give players a little more breathing room before enemies reach critical positions.SAM Missiles - Improved Flight DynamicsSAM missiles have received flight behavior improvements, making them more effective at tracking and engaging airborne threats.Anti-Drone Missiles - Increased VelocityAnti-Drone missiles now travel faster by default, improving their ability to intercept fast-moving targets before they become a problem.

What's Next?

I'm continuing to study feedback and experiment with larger gameplay changes.One idea I'm actively exploring is a future beta branch featuring fewer but significantly more powerful turrets. This would fundamentally change how players build defenses and could create a very different balance between RTS planning and FPS combat.More on that soon.As always, thank you for playing and for helping shape the game.Cheers,
Chris
