PANDORA
Customizations

Outfits, skins and hair are now customizable options while viewing PANDORA scenes.
Functionality

Scenes from different characters can now be added to the Pandora player. The shuffle button will also do this as well.
The amount of filters for scenes have been reduced.
Grid Combat Overhaul
Blanket Changes

The pace of Grid Combat was changed to be consistently faster, and to feel more rewarding the more you invest on leveling up your team. Most enemies still scale with your squad level, but the scaling curve now reflects your efforts.
Enemy units were assigned roles to study them as groups. The roles are Tank, DPR (Damage Per Round) which is split into Melee and Ranged, Fodder and Elite.
AI behavior was retouched; each type of enemy now prioritizes enemies more accurately to their role, rather than “find smol enemy, gang up on them”.
With the previous Grid Combat structure, enemies rarely had the chance to shine; indeed, almost all of their confirmed kills were with basic attacks! While Attack has been slightly reduced across the board (see Role-specific Changes below), most units have also had their maximum Adrenaline reduced by 1, giving them the opportunity to express their talents if left unchecked.
Role-specific Changes

Tank: We wanted the more resilient enemies to live up to their role, so base HP was increased for any unit under 200 HP by ~20% and reduced the Attack for all Tanks by ~10%.
Damage Per Round Melee: Most melee damagers were performing admirably, but were a tad overzealous. We reduced their Attack by ~10% without reducing the threat they pose if you catch them near you.
Damage Per Round Ranged: Some of our ranged enemies were stockier than they looked; we trimmed
Pirate Buccaneer’s base Shield from 55 to 50,
Fuccbott Penetrator’s base HP from 200 to 180,
Requital Commando’s base HP from 180 to 140 and
Requital Guerrilla’s base HP from 200 to 150.
Small adjustments were made to Attack for individual units, bringing them closer to the average for their faction and role:

Requital Commando’s Attack was reduced from 120 to 90.
Requital Guerrilla’s Attack was reduced from 100 to 90.
Scoundrel Artillery Drone’s Attack was reduced from 82 to 75.
Elite: We wanted these units to still pack a punch, and changes here were made with scaling in mind.
Kloi Prison Warden’s base HP was reduced from 330 to 300, and he’s decided to show up in more random scenarios.
Requital Alpha secretly wanted to take over the operation, and we kicked them down a peg; their base HP was reduced from 250 to 230, and their Attack from 150 to 130.
Scoundrel Raenos Merc was a significant threat from as early as the first missions, and his Attack was reduced from 150 to 130.
Boss Changes

Tibold’s fight was a little too grindy of an experience, and so we reduced his base HP from 1050 to 900.
For the same reason, Azzorion’s stats were tweaked; his base HP was reduced from 1250 to 1200, and his Shield and Armor from 300 to 250.
LubLub is not as immortal as she used to be, but remains very, very formidable; her Armor has been reduced from 500 to 400.
Squad Changes

Waifus

Lily: The good doctor’s Healing passive was not competitive enough in our new pace. It now shows how much she cares, healing ~40% of the target’s HP.
Killi: Our swashbuckling pirate is a bit of a daredevil, but a bit too daring than she can often afford. Her Ankle Slicer attack immobilized the target, but did so in melee range, and while she could fight back, taking too many hits was not good for her. We added knockback to the ability, pushing the opponent away but keeping them within striking distance of her other attack.
Elaisha: We wanted only the best kind of cosmetics for Ela; her Freshen Up’s Armor recovery scales better and restores more, increased from 20% to 30%.
Sova: It made sense for one of our sturdiest waifus to mind her defenses more; her Bring it On attack would restore Armor only if she hit an enemy with Armor, which was a little too situational. It now restores 20% of her Armor anyway, increasing to 30% if hitting an enemy with Armor.
Huntress: Our lethal bounty hunter became just a tad more dangerous, and her Attack was increased from 110 to 120. Her Apex Predator ultimate also received a touch-up, and can now instantly take down an enemy with under 50% health, or a boss with under 15%.
Mantics
The passive abilities for all our mantics have been released from leveling progression; this will allow you to strategize earlier on, and figure out your winning combinations anew!

Chodestool: Ranged mantics generally don’t hit as hard as the melee ones, but Chodestool was a bit too far behind; we increased their Attack from 50 to 70.
Trisha: One of our biggest outliers, Trisha was a Tank that couldn’t do their job. His Mobility was increased from 2 to 3, and we gave them a new passive ability, Sugar Rush, which doubles their Mobility for their first turn. Now Trisha can run to the forefront and tank appropriately. We also increased their Attack from 65 to 70.
Equicox: Equicox was a little healthier than most, but not enough to make a significant difference. His base HP was increased from 400 to 450, and his Attack, which was significantly below par, was increased from 50 to 80.
Rekall: In the same form as Lily, we felt Rekall’s healing ability should be improved so it will be worth using. We have increased their Attack from 55 to 70, and improved the scaling on the healing part of his attacks.
Pervedillo: Another significant rework was that of Pervedillo; Pervedillo’s range was awkward, little readjusting was possible, and their Ultimate was too far, too late. We increased the attack’s range from 3 to 4, Pervedillo’s Mobility from 2 to 3, their Attack from 73 to 80, and reduced their maximum Adrenaline by 1, from 4 to 3, making the Ultimate a much more viable option to build around.
DEVA Mode
Keeping with the new Grid Combat tempo, we wanted DEVA Mode to be more easily attainable and much more impactful.

The DEVA cocoon hatches in one turn, allowing everyone involved to act faster and not letting enemies pile up.
DEVA Mode base stats have been improved as well; HP from 150 to 200, Attack from 150 to 200. Each hit packs a real punch now!
Did you know the cocoon deals damage around it once it hatches? It now deals more, and the range of that kaboom is increased.
Space Combat
Waves

A significant amount of waves have been reduced to 3 to allow for faster progress throughout Prodigium.
Balancing to the enemies encountered was adjusted.
Progression

As the game progresses, there are a couple of new pickups available tied to DEMI’s/The Mary Celeste’s progress.
Navigation
Progression

The anomaly’s cleared widget received an update so that it tracks progress more accurately. This widget was added to the solar system as well.
The Mary Celeste now upgrades based on progress in-game. This includes things like speed, increased scanner radius and more.
Events

Events now provide a new way to interact with them where resources, items and XP can be gained.
Dialogue Sections
Composition

Visual novel scenes have been updated throughout the game, bringing new camera angles and transitions.
UI
Quest Log

The quest log UI has received a visual update. We hope the new look improves readability.
A legend for notifications was added to provide details on what to expect when reaching an anomaly in navigation (i.e. Sidequest, Treasure Hunt and Collectible).
Mary Celeste Dashboard

Added a new button “Squad” to access your current rosters details, originally the locker room UI.
Added a new button “PANDORA” to quickly access the Pandora system.

DEMI Progression

DEMI has a new, unique progression system that allows you to become actively engaged in leveling her up while exploring Prodigium.
We have also tied her progression to numerous Quality of Life improvements for the Mary Celeste!
Taron’s Shop

After you fully recruit Taron, she will open up a shop onboard the Mary Celeste located in the Engineering room. You can also use this shop to convert your resources from one into another. Very useful in case you’re lacking in TEK or BIO!
Captain’s Computer

This is a new feature added into the Captain’s Quarters room. Here, you will be able to view rewards and collectibles received from your crew as they level up, and as you explore planets throughout Prodigium Galaxy. You can expect to see sexy pinups, listen to audiotapes, and other interesting behind the scenes art concepts, as well.
The wardrobe UI can be used to change outfits and hairstyles once they are unlocked.
Optimizations
Cinematics

To decrease the total size of the download folder, we separated the 4K videos from the game. These can be downloaded as option DLC which equates to roughly 30 GB's.
Audio

Compression settings were changed in order to decrease the size of the audio folder. Upon changing it we saved roughly 10 GB’s.
Patching

Going forward, updates should not require the game to redownload the whole game again. The files have been separated into chunks therefore allowing for reduced download times.
Textures

Where feasible, texture size has been reduced.
Steam Features

Cloud saving is now available.
Achievements are now available.
Bug Fixes

Devotion Quest dialogue sections do not list (Outro/Intro) anymore.
Fixed issue where sections of the Quest Log were inadvertently set to hidden if filters were used in a specific order.
Fixed issue when hovering over an ability after selecting it. This resulted in not being able to execute the ability unless clicking undo to redo the process.
Fixed issue during Fortune’s Devotion Quest mission where the door would not open to progress.
Known Issues (Does not include all issues)
UI

Some UI elements are currently loading at low resolution.
Some SFX on buttons are missing.
Taron’s shop UI has a work in progress layout in the 1.0 version, this will be fixed in a later patch

Exit button doesn’t work when collectibles screen is enabled when viewing Captain Computer
When gifting items, the items are stacked however there isn’t a number displayed to show quantity.
On the main menu, playing the credits and then exiting causes the main menu music to stop.

Some lighting issues persist on certain Pandora scenes at settings lower than the max.
Dialogue Sections

A few visual novel scenes still need additional revamping.
Erark’s hologram cuts off at the elbows.
Some physics issues persist on characters like Celestina and Huntress.
Gallery

Gallery images that display on Captain’s computer are no longer visible when returning to take another photo in the gallery. However, the photos are still available using the gallery poster.
Audio

Taron’s audiotapes are not yet in the game.
Performance

Alt-Tabbing potentially can cause the game to crash, especially during areas of the game where high loads take place.
Yellow/White screen flashing artifact during space combat when using the FXAA aliasing method. Most likely due to the lens flare and or high bloom values.
NOTES

As a reminder, previous saves are not intended for use with the 1.0.0 release. The option to start a New Game will be available.
If you encounter pak file decompression related crashes try verifying integrity of game files as this usually fixes the issue.

Hello Subverse fans!
Hey everyone my name is DC and I’m stoked to tell you that by the time you read this the closed beta for 1.0 will have begun, which means we’re in the final phases of polishing this crazy game!
After many months of hard work, as the Director of the game I can tell you the effort is paying off and Subverse is in much better shape than before. Let’s take a look at some of the big features and revamps coming in version 1.0
SMUT
Version 1.0 will feature 239 pandora scenes in total for your fapping enjoyment. We tried to give some love to neglected waifus (cough ‘Taron’ cough) to even it all out! On top of that we have over 40 minutes of additional smut in the form of the devotion quest movies! We’re really looking forward to seeing the reactions to all of these. And if that’s not enough there’s still over 45 minutes of audio tapes to listen to!
CINEMATICS
We have some absolute bangers cooked up by the cinematics lads to wrap up the main story coming your way, including the ending. We sent the whole payload your way and you don’t wanna miss the conclusion to the Captain’s arc!
PACING
Early game pacing was wonky so we shuffled some quests around and streamlined the tutorials to get you settled on the ship faster! We also merged some data tables to reduce the number of loading screens, (btw those are changing too) The ‘Tibold’ boss fight is also changed to be less grindy, along with a reduction in space combat waves and a snappier, more bursty grid combat philosophy. Check out last month’s diary if you want to learn more about that.
STORYTELLING
We overhauled our dialogue input system so you should notice a difference (especially in Act 1) with how the characters are posed and how dynamic the camera is now. The static style of setups have been revamped and there are more cinematic, over-the-shoulder shots and better angles. Samantha tried to be as creative with the system, to squeeze as much out of it as possible and I think you guys will enjoy the new experience!
REWARDS / GRINDS
The balance between grinding and rewards is delicate, and we’re trying to make sure exploring Prodigium feels fun and not a chore. Each time you discover a planet or anomaly we want to reward you with something cool, whether that be a collectible or a piece of behind-the-scenes content. We’ve got over 193 event planets to explore and over 150 new collectibles to find. Gone are the days of just grinding and leveling your waifus for minimal rewards. Oh and there’s also 7 new grid combat maps to play on, to keep things fresh on that front.
TARON’S SHOP
Taron will finally open up her shop in 1.0, selling a variety of interesting knick-knacks from both Prodigium and the far reaches of the Milky MemeWay. Head on down to Engineering to check it out!
USER EXPERIENCE
Customizability as a big thing we’re aiming for in 1.0 and the ability to change hairstyles and unlock outfits as part of the devotion quests means there’s more ways than ever to tailor a waifu to your liking! Not to mention all the UI updates like a brand sizzling new Pandora selection screen.
Remember the game will increase in price after the Early Access period ends so if you want a sizeable discount now is the time to nab it! As closed beta progresses and we lock in on a final build we will communicate the Q4 release date to you guys so keep your eyes peeled… we’re so very close now!
I will also try and put all this into video format as part of the release date announcement so that we get some online hype you guys can share around.
Thanks for reading and take care!

Development notes from Tibor:

The cloud save that has long been requested by many users. Is now implemented and part of the testing phase.
Steam achievements are now implemented.
Plenty of UI improvements.
Build process modifications to optimize the patch, content download process.
Development effort to make the application size smaller. This will make the app size 20 GB smaller.

Hi all!
We’re deep into the business end of development and testing of version 1.0
All hands are on deck as our hard working team members try and finish up their respective tasks to get the game in as complete a state as possible for our intended Q4 release.
As of writing there’s a ton of new stuff for our internal beta testers to test and give feedback on, which is taking up the majority of our time right now. The good thing so far is most of the big changes are landing, so we’re happy about going in the right direction. It’s really important for us as a studio to hit the promised Q4 deadline.
Among the new Pandora scenes, UI updates, gameplay/boss balance updates, QOL tweaks, increasing overall game pace, we’re also working on revamping some of the Dialogue Input scenes to make them a bit more cinematic and immersive. The first half of the game should benefit the most from the revamp, as we apply all the things we’ve learned over the past few years of development retroactively to the older content.
For those that have bought the game already in Early Access, thank you for supporting our project and please know that what you’re experiencing right now is only a slice of the full pie coming in 1.0! But your current support is very much appreciated by the team wherever you are in the world.
Notes from Tibor:
The completion of outstanding tasks and rolling out of the internal test builds are progressing well.
The following tasks are under current development, they are in progress and most importantly they are getting done:

Grid combat rebalancing
Major improvements on the Levelling system regarding the awards allocation, balancing of award gains as well as introducing new awards
Demi Augmentation to provide a new UI for the additional awards Demi receives via the new Levelling System
New UI for presenting the updated Levelling System
Dialogue system improvement e.g. camera, light, performance
Navigation system improvements
Upgrading the underlying development environment and libraries for performance gain
Integration of the DLC framework so we can deliver the promised Kickstarter rewards
Integration of Steam API, GOG API and other interfaces of our content delivery platforms
The rest of the many low level tasks we are getting done, therefore probably no need to be mentioned here. I just wanted to let you know the full development life cycle is in motion to achieve 1.0 soon as it is possible.
Thanks for reading, take care and speak soon.
See you next month!
Bis bald,
Till Eulenspiegel
