# Version 0.1.3β
Version 0.1.3β is now available.
This update introduces a new opening sequence, improves character creation and gameplay flow, rebalances the Channeling system, and fixes numerous multiplayer and gameplay issues.
The main changes are listed below.
## New Features / Improvements
Added an opening cinematic that now plays when starting a new game. The title-screen attract movie has been removed.
Added an introductory guide before creating a new squad member.
Updated the character creation background to a space scene where Yomihara, Toyoashihara, and Takamagahara rotate around one another.
Training equipment can now be changed at the base. Changes are synchronized with everyone in the same multiplayer session.
## Gameplay Improvements
The action selection menu now reopens after attacking if the unit still has actions remaining.
Channeling now has a small effect even with Healing Level 0.
Template selections are now reflected immediately when opening the confirmation screen.
Reordered the Template section to match the Species section.
