Hey everyone, Mothership here with an update on the updates. The first content update for TEXNOPLAZM arrives September 23rd!
The Training Room Update, as I call it, will introduce new features, progression improvements, and quality-of-life changes. Here’s a quick rundown:
1) Training Room v0.1
The Training Room is a -new- place where players can practice their skills in a customizable environment. Handpick enemies, adjust hostility and invulnerability, tweak room size, and try out every weapon. This first version focuses on core functionality, with more tools and refinements planned for future updates.
2) Upgrade Progression Rework The original progression was considered a bit too punishing, so the upgrade system has been redesigned to feel more rewarding while keeping the pace at which Upgrades can be obtained as it was planned. Upgrades are not tied to secrets of specific levels anymore. I have instead opted for a global solution:
Upgrades can now be unlocked at Upgrade Stations or from the Level Select screen once discovered.
Unlocking requires Upgrade Points, earned by finding all Secrets in a level.
Players who already own TEXNOPLAZM will have their existing upgrades and secrets automatically converted to the new system.
3) Weapon Skins
Each weapon can be recolored using preset skins, grouped into global Tiers.
Each Tier unlocks by completing Map Challenges.
Unlocking a Tier applies across all weapons.
Players who already own TEXNOPLAZM will have their completed map challenges automatically converted to this new system.
4) Ultrawide Support
New video settings will add a toggle to provide a wider field of view for ultrawide monitors.
This option can also be used on standard monitors, though it may cause mild distortion.
5) Miscellaneous The update also includes bug fixes and general quality-of-life improvements, detailed in the full patch notes on release day.
The game is currently enjoying a 97% Positive score on Steam, which left me pleasantly surprised.
My next goal is to reach the first 50 reviews as fast as possible, so if you're reading this and enjoyed the game please consider leaving a positive review!
