Update #18 rolls out some key improvements for the timeline and your ability to look back on your team's past activity as well as a ton of new improvements throughout the game. While we're waiting a few more days for the first wave of Proc-Gen Missions to hit, your F10s and suggestions on our Discord and here on the Steam forums are keeping the update pipeline firing on all jets.
If you're enjoying the pace of improvements and updates to the game please leave a review - nothing is more helpful for us to keep improving and sharing the game.
Also, we're excited to announce the first Community Challenge -

We've rolled out our first community challenge for everyone to try and enjoy. Nothing strict, just a different spin on how you play the game to put some focus on a certain playstyle and get players chatting about meta and melee.
How long can you survive in the game only using blades? Sneaky, quiet, stabby? Check! Out ranged, out gunned, pinned down - hopefully not. Let's see what your sword-only team can do.
Timeline History
The small button to the left of the timeline (if you are on page 0) has now activated to show a history of timeline events. Events like cyber surgery, mission expiration, mercs recovering from injuries, and more all appear within the list. We need to keep adding more events to get full coverage but you'll be able to see a wealth of history about your activities already.
In addition, events that were previously invisible can now be checked out in the timeline history, like the specifics of a failed Legwork attempt, Trait mutations for your characters (as negative and positive Traits gain or drop in power level) and when Injury devolves into a true Wound. These events will soon have a confirmation pop up that makes such important events even more clear, but for now exposing them in the history is a big move.
As a new feature, this list will start empty for your team. Events that occurred before Update #18 will not appear here.
Quit from between Missions
If you've completed a level, won a mission or are just anywhere in between levels on a multi-stage mission, you can now choose to easily exit to the main menu.
We recognize that levels are long and so often, getting to the end of one is the full play session and maybe your mission isn't over but you'll have to pause and come back later. ESC can get you back to the main menu and when you resume play you'll drop right back into the stage or mission victory.
Cyberdeck Health
Your Cyberdeck's health % is now visible in all screen related to cyberdecks. We've fixed a few places were buttons were not clickable in the Cyberdeck management screens (specifically install and delete programs). We've fixed some issues where the storage bar for your deck wasn't always updating correctly and also now if you select an already installed program, we will highlight how much space it is taking up in the deck's storage bar in yellow.
Also, if you're out cruising the matrix you can now pan the matrix map with the same hotkeys (WASD, left stick by default) as the main mission map.
No Transitions Camera Mode
This option was rolled out a few releases ago to allow you to play in a mode where the game took as little control of the camera as possible. It has had a few issues, specifically with the Cybersword's Slashslide and with Hacking, both of which are now fixed.
Appearance Improvements
When setting up your character's looks, we've made some fixes and improvements as well. You can now rotate your character while looking at their face detail. We've also fixed an issue where switching between sliders when changing the aspects of their face would reset the previous slider.
