Gamescom Update

It’s been a while since the last update due to the mentioned circumstances, but today we have a new build for you with some major changes and recent news.

While we are working on sandbox mode and a new iteration of Ro.oTO a new progression system has been added and we changed the way of earning Data. Due to the new balancing of difficulty and progression we needed to reset all Hacker [R]anking points. Bootcamp missions and settings stay as they are. We fixed many bugs and there are some other cool things to see.

You highly requested a Wiki for Net.Attack() and we set up a page with the first pieces of information that can be used, filled and modified by you! Therefore we set up a new Discord channel if you have questions, feedback or any other wiki related issues. https://netattack.wiki.gg/

Net.Attack() can be played at the exhibition booth of ByteRockers' Games at Gamescom in Cologne. There will be some merch to grab and ROS!E is playable in the Daily Challenge again from August 20th to 24th not only at Gamecom, but also for everyone at home.

We know you have been waiting for an update, and we are happy to finally upload a new build. Hopefully you’ll enjoy the changes!

Have a nice Gamescom week and happy hacking!
