Hello everyone.
Patch 0.0.3.0.1 has been released and has added new music by Andrew Hind. One of the more recent criticisms is that the game is quiet. I couldn't really disagree with that, but my policy of using only one musician was getting in the way of that, so I decided to add more music even if it was from an additional person. It's a little bit of a contrast in sound, but this was done on purpose as I think the more industrial pieces drive home the despair of the cyberpunk genre as a whole. I think this is the beauty of the more futuristic feel of the game.
The other addition in this patch are added sounds to objects such as doors and such. Another area where the game was just really quiet and this is a way to liven it up a bit.
There are other little things going on in the background that have been adjusted such as bug fixes and changes to how some internal numbers affected gameplay.
What's To Come?
So what's next? Well, the next big patch will focus on adding in more story content. I wish it was simple or I had more manpower to move at a faster pace, but we're making progress and, though it may be slow. That said, there won't be a patch next week. We're going to spend the next couple of weeks working on getting Chapter 3 story finished and released as well as adding more Arena ranks and more enemies to fight. This is going to take a bit of work as new zones will need to be built and that is generally what takes the most time.
We're also going to add in a couple more jobs. One of them would have been in this patch, but the zone it uses needs a bit more work before it's ready for prime time. There were some concerns about current jobs being fairly simple and that's a valid criticism. The goal there was just to make something simple that were mainly introductory jobs to explain how they work. They'll be more like real supplementary content going forward.
Also, if there is something that you are interested in seeing in the game, then hit us up on Twitter or join our Discord server. It's not a huge community, but it's only the early days right now.
That's it for this update. You guys have a great day and stay safe!
