Warning - due to the significant scope of this update & memory optimizations, this update will wipe existing world save files! Please select "New Game" after updating.
Happy Friday! We've been hustling to get this update out in time for the Holidays, and are beyond excited to FINALLY be bringing you this major update!
While we've been working away on the 1.0 Story Mode update, we've been hard at work on other areas of the game, including balancing, combat improvements, additional item variation, and major optimizations. Performance has always been a battle as we've been pushing the Unity engine to the limits, and we are very happy to say that with this latest update we've made some big strides in this area.
Here's a snapshot of Unity's profiler before/after our optimizations... massive improvement on our development machines!
In our internal testing, we're seeing performance improvements of up to 50-100% in some areas of the game! We're excited to hear your feedback on how these improvements run on your machines.
See the full changelog below for the full notes! As always, please let us know your thoughts in the comments and forums!
From the whole NVYVE Studios team, we wish you all happy holidays, and want to thank you for the support and patience as PAMELA edges closer to 1.0 status. Please enjoy this latest update, and stay tuned for the full release of PAMELA featuring the Story Update early in 2020!
Version 0.8.0.1 Changelog
Note - many of these notes were present in our previous in-development beta launch, but are now running on an updated version of Unity including many additional optimizations that had to be removed for the beta build.

As we promised the other day, we've got a BETA update ready for you to all to test out, if you're interested! You can opt into this update by swapping over to the "beta" branch. If you're not sure how to do that, follow these steps:
How to Access the Beta:
1. Right click PAMELA in your Steam Library, the click "Properties"
2. Click the "Betas" tab.
3. In the dropdown, select "beta".
4. Close the window; Steam should start downloading the beta.
Important Notes being trying the Beta Build!
There are 2 important things to note with this beta: as there are MANY updates, additions, & optimizations, this update will reset your world save file. This new save file will not be compatible with the Release version of the game either, so whatever you do in the beta will be beta-only.
To back up your save before playing the beta, do the following:
Cut everything inside C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\LocalLow\NVYVE Studios\PAM_GameLauncher and then paste to a new location. To revert to this safe when returning to the Release branch, simply paste these files back into their original location.
The second note is that we've had to disable level streaming systems (while we wait on Unity's lighting fix) so the load time and general performance will be slightly longer & worse respectively.
What's in the Beta Build?
Well, LOTS! We've been eager to share this boatload of updates for some time now, and decided that releasing this beta build is a good step while we iron out the technical issues with Unity for the Release build.
We'll be posting this changelog again in it's entirety when the Release build is ready, but for those of you taking part in the Beta, read below for the full notes included in this preview build!
Not included in this update is our progress on the Story Mode - we're keeping that back so it can be released all at once, as it is a MAJOR update to the game that is best experienced as a complete package. Stay tuned!

Update: PAMELA v0.5.1.1 is Live: Optimizations and Game Balance!

Happy Tuesday! We've got a fresh new update ready, including a major rendering optimization and a whole ton of game balancing.
Performance optimization has always been high on our list of priorities, and lately we've been doubling down in this area to alleviate some of the issues plaguing many of you. This update includes a pretty significant optimization that deals with some back-end distance culling of dynamic objects in the game. In our testing, we saw a pretty signicant reduction in object drawing cost.
On top of this, we've been working with the fine folks over at Unity to get PAMELA upgraded to the latest version of the engine. Since we rely on some custom engine code to bring PAMELA to life, this process is a bit more involved that it would be for a game running on vanilla Unity. The good news is that we've made some solid headway towards this goal, and (fingers crossed) should be able to push a live build on this new version (Unity 2018.3, specifically) in the near future. Other than benefiting from a bunch of engine bugfixes and stability improvements, we will be able to implement some awesome new features such as Texture Streaming which should net us even more performance improvements.
Aside from optimization, we're working towards the next, most meaty update of all time – the Story update. This has been a long time coming, going through multiple iterations on the drawing board, and we're as anxious as you are to get it out the door. Once we finish up some of the remaining optimization tasks and get the core foundations solidified, we'll be moving full-force onto this major update.
We want to thank everyone for their support and patience. It's heartwarming to hear from those of you who've been with us right from the beginning over a year and a half ago. Although the path to getting PAMELA 1.0 out the door hasn't been a straight line (when is it ever, in game development?) we are commited to making it happen as soon as we're possibly able.
Hope you enjoy the update! Let us know your thoughts on the balancing tweaks in the comments, and stay tuned for the next update.
Features

Added Genesis and Nirvana themed versions of Sec-RTs
Balance & Improvements

Implemented a rendering modification which uses more efficient distance-based rendering for dynamic objects, yielding a 20-40% reduction in amount of (unnecesary) objects drawn
Reduced enemy senses slightly to make sneaking slightly more forgiving
Nerfed shields slightly – recharge delay and delay penalty after overloading shield have both been increased slightly, and shield now drains slowly over time when activated
Enemy spawn rate has been modified so that after “clearing” an area of enemies, you will have a brief window of calm before enemies start spawning back in
Base fist melee damage has been increased slightly, with a slight reduction in knockback strength
Added flytext to indicate a level-up
Slightly reduced item drop rate
Increased base thirst and hunger drop rate slightly
Increased sprint stamina depletion rate
Increased base NPC damage, and reduced base NPC health
Fixes

Fixed bug with randomized weapon starter upgrades not instantiating correctly
Fixed bug with randomized weapon durability not applying correctly
Fixed flashlight type & description not saving correctly in some instances
Crafted items will now (correctly) spawn with full durability
Fixed infinite Sonar Pulse audio cue
Fixed a dye bug in which player's dye color would affect NPC weapon color as well
Fixed a bug in NPC pathing that prevented them from crossing doorways
Fixed an unreachable keycard in Arcadia

*This update will wipe saves due to the large nature of what's been added*
Hi everyone!
Today we are very excited to release our long-awaited Geist update. We've been working on this one for quite a while now and there's a lot to cover, so let's dive in!
New Area
We have a large new area what was previously unreachable, the contaminated nanite area on the other side of the red glowing fence in Oasis. You won't be able to get there right away without being injured, you'll have find some new items to craft the new Hazmat suit. The new area is full of never before seen dangers, low visibility and new challenges. This isn't for the feint of heart.
New Enemies
There are two new enemies that you'll encounter, the Shade and the Revenant. Both were once human, but due to the extreme concentration of nanites in the area, are now only husks of their former selves. You'll have to figure out what their weaknesses are before engaging a group of these!
The Shade is the more common of the Geist creatures, keep your eyes and ears open as they fade from cloud form back to physical in the blink of an eye.
The Revenant is a powerful new flying creature that has control of the nanites around him. He can materialize Shades around him and cast destructive projectiles from a distance.
Contamination Spread
There's a new mechanic that's been added that will come in to play several game days into each play through. The nanite contamination is beginning to spread throughout Eden and you'll begin to find the Geist characters in new places other than just behind the red wall in Oasis. They might be worth exploring if you have your Hazmat suit handy.
NPC Combat
NPCs have been more more aggressive across the board and numerous tweaks have been made to help make combat feel more responsive, faster and fun.
And Much More
As always, check out the full list of changes below! We hope you love this update and we can't wait for your feedback on it. Have fun exploring the new areas and trying to master the new enemies and combat.
Features

New Geist area outside Oasis.
New Shade NPC.
New Revenentant NPC.
New Geist growths that spread throughout Eden.
Afflicted can now play dead.
You can now press the 'IVG' button (default 'R') to pick up all from a container.
New Blood FX and sounds.
New Hazmat suit armor.
Added death effect for Observer.
Balance/Improvements

Melee weapons are now more responsive.
Weapons are now more common.
Weapons have been made weaker by default.
Equipment now have randomized durability when spawned.
Upgrade core drop rate has been increased.
Equipemnt can now be found in the world with some upgrade nodes already in them, be sure to check equipment that you pick up, it might be better than what you have now.
Javelin has increased rate of fire.
Javelin has faster draw back time.
NPCs now pull allies from a much further distance when in combat.
Ranged NPC projectiles have been sped up and made easier to see.
Halved resonance damage from 10 to 5.
Map icons have been made smaller so they don't block the map as much.
NPC combat has been tweaked, they are far more aggressive now.
Fixes

Enemies could attack themselves to death after getting blocked by a shield.
Fixed some issues with aror set bonuses.
NPCs should now despawn correctly when the world resets in a permadeath game.
Fixed a bug where you weapon could stay in its overcharged state.
Added some extra save/load protection on the player corpses.
NPCs would misjudge distance to the Observer because it's a flying character and sometimes would run in to it forever without attacking.
Stage 1 and Stage 2 NPCs were giving out the wrong amount of XP.
NPC inventories were not clearing on respawn.
Tweaked the values on some prefab pools to help lower memory.

Hi everyone!
Today we have a pretty exciting update that includes a number of exciting improvements as well as a big new feature! We've added ranged weapons to both the Seekers as well as Stage 1 afflicted which should definitely change up combat quite a bit. We've also made the player motor feel more responsive and a little bit faster, especially when walking sideways and backwards. You will also notice that punching has been sped up significantly. All of this put together is a big improvement on combat, and you'll be seeing quite a bit more of this in the next update or two.
To give you a little taste of what's to come in the next update, we're currently tweaking weapons to be more common, spawn with random durability, random upgrade nodes already slotted as well as a larger difference between a non-upgraded and a fully upgraded weapon. We'll also be improving the new ranged NPCs, so please comment about any feedback you may have about them!
Other than all of that, there are some nice fixes which you can read about below!
Have a great weekend everyone and enjoy the update :)
Features

Added ranged weapons on Stage 1 Afflicted and the Seeker.
Balance/Improvements

Made punching faster and more responsive.
Made the player movement more responsive.
Changes were made how NPCs choose a new target, they shouldn't bounce back and forth between targets anymore.
Quick melee feels more consistent, your fists will stay raised.
Fixes

Fixed NPC gravity so that they no longer hover when coming down the stairs or falling off a ledge.
Fixed a bug where stomping could cause the player's fists to stay raised forever.
Removed a few NPC door triggers that shouldn't have been there in Arcadia.
Loot now clears off corpses correctly.

Hotfix: PAMELA v0.4.5.7 is Live!
Hey Everyone! We have a small fix for our hardcore players this week. We have found and fixed a problem where Cryobay selection buttons stopped updating in a permadeath game if you died more than once in a single play through, which caused all sorts of unintended respawn issues.

Hey Everyone!
This week’s update adds some much needed love to our poor NPCs. On top of our standard bug fixing Part 1 of our NPC update includes a much higher range of NPC diversity, new death ragdoll effects, and the (very) much requested ability for turrets to be able to target Stalkers.
Wait, you said Part 1? You haven’t said anything about a Part 2.
It’s a heck of a tease isn’t it? Feel free to speculate wildly if that’s a thing you’re prone to doing! In the meantime, here is a breakdown of what is in part 1…
Features

NPC Randomization - We have added new variants to the randomization pool of many NPCs and smoothed out the logic for a much more interesting (and creepy) population of Eden.
NPC Ragdoll on Death - NPC death animations were proving “problematic” with changes in elevation and world geometry. But thanks to the power of physics and joints NPCs will now bounce, crumple and fall in all sorts of weird and wonderful ways. If you want to push the higher limits, look for items that increase Force.
Balance/Improvements

Turrets are now able to target Stalkers once they are visible.
Sprint stamina costs have been reduced and speed has been increased.
Added sound effects for the medical station and augment station.
Added sound effects for Surgical Laser charge, activate and deactivate.
Lowered Observer threat level (so Afflicted won't stare at the blinking floating ball while you punch them in the back of the head).
Bumped up the running speed for Afflicted and Widow, as well as overall Reaper move speed.
Added a slight slowdown effect to player melee attacks when they connect to make them feel more impactful.
Fixes

Fixed an issue with our animation blending causing phantom hits when the NPC was clearly doing something else.
Added a collider that was missing from a wall in Garrison Armory.
Fixed an issue where the wounded effect and sound didn’t apply after continuing the game from main menu.
OK, that’s it for me for now, but I’ll be back soon.
Thanks everybody, and as always, let us know your thoughts in the comments and forums!
