🌆A New Upgradeable Lobby

Version 0.5.0 "Out of Early Access" introduces the Extended Upgradeable Lobby, transforming the once-simple hub into a growing settlement. Players can now expand structures, unlock new facilities, and invest in passive skill upgrades that persist across missions.

This is the ended contents for fully released of game updates.

🎰Resource Gacha Slot Machine

A brand-new gacha system has been implemented inside the extended lobby. Players can exchange resources, weapons, or nanoplugins through a slot-machine style interface, giving them a way to obtain missing materials or convert surplus items into something useful.

🏦 Vault & Storage System

Players can now store their favourite weapons and nanoplugins in a dedicated vault. This allows long-term planning, safe keeping of rare items, and easier loadout management for future missions.

🔧 Major New Features

👤 Profile Selection System

Players can now create multiple gameplay profiles, allowing them to start fresh runs from zero without affecting their main progression. Perfect for experimenting with new builds or replaying the game with different strategies.

🎁 Returning Player Rewards

Returning player will now receive bonus currency, scaled based on the number of loops they’ve previously unlocked. A small welcome-back boost to help them jump right back into action.

🛠 Scrap System for Weapons & Nanoplugins

Weapons and nanoplugins can now be scrapped for materials, supporting the new lobby upgrade system and giving unused gear a meaningful purpose

📡 Scanner Upgrade

The Scanner now highlights loot boxes and ammo boxes nearby, making exploration smoother and reducing unnecessary backtracking.

🎮 Control Options: Default Button Selector

A new toggle allows players to instantly switch between Gamepad or Mouse & Keyboard default layouts.

🖥 HUD Opacity Slider

Perfect for content creators. Adjust HUD opacity for clean, cinematic recordings or trailer captures.

🌐 Locale Editor (Community Localization Tool)

A new built-in Locale Editor empowers the community to translate the game into their own languages. Players can edit, customize, and share localization files, making the game more accessible worldwide. It is accessable through profile selection menu, top left buttons.

Share your new localise language into our studio discord or steam community

⚔ Gameplay Adjustments

Their RC turret count is now limited to one, preventing difficulty spikes that previously blocked mission progression.

The Miner Buster is now unlocked after clearing the Medium Route, making progression more intuitive.
🐞 Bug Fixes

  • Fixed ammo pickup behaviour - infinite ammo glitch removed

  • Fixed lobby death error causing crashes

  • Fixed scroll window speed - middle mouse now scrolls faster

  • Fixed random mission loop not finishing in co‑op

  • Many additional minor fixes improving stability and performance

⚓ Harbor Mission Development Update

Harbor Mission, previously teased here:

Development continues, but slowly. The Harbor Mission is a large, complex addition, and the team wants to ensure it meets quality expectations. As of now:

  • No exact release date

  • Estimated development time: 1.5 to 2 years

  • Work is ongoing, but progress is intentionally careful and steady

Players can expect more updates as development reaches key milestones.
