Hi again everyone! Today's patch focuses on fixing several reported issues, including critical crashes, progression blockers, and quality-of-life improvements.

UI / Gameplay Improvements
Fixed an issue with consumables in equipment slots / hotbar not functioning consistently.

Hey everyone! It’s officially been 6 months since the game’s release! 🎉🥳 This journey has been an incredible learning experience, and I’ve kept pouring my time and energy into polishing and expanding the world.

Third Person World Interactions: You’ll now be able to interact with objects in the world, sit, drink, and watch your character perform those actions.

Added a messaging system where the player can reply to NPC messages

Objective UI now hides when player looks at a computer to avoid overlapping

Hi everyone! The 6 month anniversary since release is almost here 🎉 To celebrate, I’ll release a major update, v2.1, next week, including new content, improvements, and fixes for you to enjoy.
Here’s a quick look at what’s coming:
Enemy Shields: Stronger enemies will now have a shield bar above their health bar, clearly showing the difference in difficulty from earlier enemies.
In-Game Messaging: To increase interactivity and immersion, NPCs can now send you messages that you can reply to.
Third Person World Interactions: One common question in a first-person RPG is: 'what’s the point of creating a character I don’t see in-game?'. In an attempt to address this, you’ll now be able to interact with objects in the world, sit, drink, and watch your character perform those actions.
And much more, including:
Revamped armour mod system
New augments
New enemy types to increase combat variety
UI upgrades, new 'local' map screens
Revamped computers and added more for lore
Disassemble weapons in-world to reduce inventory clutter
Performance enhancements and bug fixes
I’ll go into more detail next week when the update releases. Every update brings the game closer to the original vision I had for it. I hope you’re as excited as I am! Until then, I'll keep working through all of your reports and feedback. Thank you all so much for your patience, belief in the game, and support. ❤️

Hi everyone! Patch v2.0.6 just released, bringing fixes, tweaks, and improvements based on the feedback you’ve shared.
Here's what's included in today's patch:
General Adjustments & Additions
Increased XP rewards for discovering locations, especially in Alios.
Increased XP gain from Androids & Bandits in Alios.
Adjusted the frequency of bandit 'barks' .
Enemies in Alios Comms Centre have been made tougher.
Shotgun damage increased at very close range.
Did a balance pass on ranged weapons (Avenger was significantly outperforming others).
Adjusted stat scaling: too many attributes affected the melee skill, relative to other combat bonuses.
Added a toggle setting to automatically crouch after performing a slide.
Added a door to exit the ship if the player has already landed on a planet.
Made some text adjustments during ending slides.
Added some conditional checks to the final dialogue for certain outcomes.
Audio
The following sounds are now properly tied to the sound effects volume slider: XP gain, bullet impacts, 'Take item', scanning, time dilation, turret gunfire and explosions, pause menu opening, eating/drinking/pill consumption, weapon switching, and doors opening/closing.

Added ambient music to New Havens Cave.
Fixed 'checkpoint' level in Vesta missing music.
Added sound effect feedback for hovering over load/save UI slots.

Save System Changes

Autosaves are now limited to the last 3; when a new one is created, the oldest is deleted. (If you currently have more than 3, they won’t be deleted, but a new autosave will remove the oldest.)
Checkpoint saves are now limited to the last 5; when a new one is created, the oldest is deleted. (If you currently have more than 5, they won’t be deleted, but a new checkpoint save will remove the oldest.)
