I would like to thank everyone that has supported the game thus far. As a solo dev, there are a lot of challenges in which takes time to solve. My goal is to create a world that players will enjoy and to deliver it to them as quickly as possible. This first major update should help to achieve that goal. I still have more plans and new updates that are coming, so stay tuned!
Update 1.1
The new update will feature a new map which is "The Brain". It has new mechanics, new biomes, and so much more! There are also two extra points of interest related to the story; Parasite ONE and the HUB. I am super excited to say that his update adds a total of 15 more hours of gameplay!
New features:
- Pressure Resistance
Different areas of the human body can have negative effects on the micro ship. The pressure inside of the human skull can be devastating for the ship. In this case, the higher you go, the higher the pressure is.
- PH Resistance
The acid in the stomach for example can be dangerous. Normally there is no acid danger in the bloodstream or in the brain. However, since the micro ship is a new technology introduced to the human body, you would need to adapt to any chemical reaction happening in these areas that might affect your ship's survival.
- Resources Trade
Players can choose to get rid of resources that can be valuable research materials for scientists, but are less valuable for the player in terms of survival inside the body.
- New Ships
Players can buy new ships with different stats and perks. Ranging from having more HP, faster speed for easier maneuvers, or just getting a new ship solely for its looks. Some new ships will have passive resistance to the new mechanics which are PH acidity, or pressure.
- New Weapons, Modules and Buildings
Catcher – A cannon-like weapon design to stun and catch live viruses and other enemies
Virus prison – up to 10 viruses in one quarantine can produce rare resources
New Modules – Ship upgrades relevant to the new PH and pressure features
- New Enemies
Drone – fast and resilient nano-bots. The Drones were originally injected into the brain to help scientists with experiments. However, the scientists lost control over them and made the nano-bots go rogue attacking any potential threat in sight, which also includes you.
Unknown object – No information available. New discoveries are being made inside the human body that was once impossible to discover without a micro ship exploring the brain. Please proceed with caution.
- New Levels, Quests and Resources
The level limit increased to 100 and added over 180 new quests. New resources to be mined for the new buildings, weapons and modules.
