Hello everyone! What a week! Sure, it took two weeks to push this update, but the last one was really busy as I did not realize what I have promised while writing the last announcement and promising update containing endgame mode within two weeks.
However here we are! Shame its just very first iteration of the endgame mode as even taking days off work to stay home and work on the update was not enough to include more than that.
DATAREALMS
For completing 3 mythos missions, you'll receive Datacube as a part of your reward chest. Datacubes are then used to open Dataportal and override max difficulty. Datacubes from reward chests always come at lvl 11, however, they can be upgraded.
By talking to inquisitor in the middle of the base you pick which datacube he has to use to open portal for you. Once sucked in you race against the time and once you complete your objective(kill all), datarealm boss is spawned. For now the bosses are just variations on existing commanders, however, they are much tougher. After a boss defeat, you are given your reward, and if you managed to kill that sucker in time, datacube you used to open the portal is upgraded to a higher level.
Why would you want to upgrade datacubes and rung higher level portals? Couse higher level portal means higher item level cap for loot. (more about formulas for calculating item level next time).
Future of the datarealms
Sadly I did not managed to push more of the content into the update, but we are still 0.4 worth of updates till full release and most of that will focus on datarealms.
You can expect more world randomization, new decorations, backgrounds and terrain variations. Unique datarealm bosses, more events, more unique loot and much more I would like to keep secret for now.
New guns
As a little extra for 0.6 update, I managed to include two new guns and both of them can be dropped by datarealm bosses only. I won't tell you what these new guns are(like surprises right?), but as if you are fans of classic PC shooters you will recognize both of them as soon as you spot them. Once they drop, don't forget to post us screen on to community center!;-)
Thats it for now! Hope this new update will give you a taste of my plans with the game and will bring additional couple of hours till you hit the datarealm difficulty ceiling. But you won't have to worry forever, new upadates are coming along with many new ways on how to obliterate the heretics!
Thanks for your support & with regards
