Patch 0.5.0 is so far the biggest patch we have published during closed alpha according to changes in short time. We have further improved the light of the world even more, making the game feel much more realistic than it was in last patch. Weapon placements while unequipped have been changed for most of the early game weapons, this process will be continued in the next patch as well to prevent visual clipping. We have added a lot more Points of Interest in the world as well as more secrets so the exploring should feel even better. Item statistics and enemy stat adjustments have been scaled for the new combat update that we dropped on last patch so the gameplay should feel much more balanced. Also we have finally added jiggle physics and much more.
