Dear Space Wanderers,
It's our favorite season, and we can hardly believe it's been nearly a year since we launched our game. The response we've received has been overwhelming, and we're incredibly grateful for the attention and support from our amazing community. Thank you all!
We have exciting news to share: the highly anticipated remake of "Wandering In Space" will be released! We have taken all the valuable feedback and suggestions from our dedicated players and implemented numerous improvements to make this version even better.Enjoy the current version and get ready for our future updates, including more story-based missions, an an array of sleek and stylish space armors, and the exhilaration of open-world gameplay.
Here are some of the new features and fixes you can look forward to:
First of all, Wandering In Space is remade in Unreal Engine 5!
【New Contents】
● An improved experience to interact with game items! Instead of picking up materials and supplies randomly on the floor, we have created ammo boxes, potion supply boxes, and material collection cabinets in game. To collect ammos and supplies, interact with the boxes or open the combination lock.

● Added password-protected gates, which require entering the correct password to unlock and provide valuable materials or supplies.
● Trap mechanisms, including flamethrowers, machine guns, and laser cannons, have been added to floors 3, 4, 5, and 6.
● Three new exo-armor suits have been introduced: Predator, Overseer, and Infiltrator, each with different skills and attributes. Unlock them by completing 6 floors.
● The layout of safe house is changed, including the potion supply room and a material recycling machine that is moved to the side of elevator.

【Optimizations】
Enemy AI:
● Armed soldiers can now alternate between rifles and handguns, with added actions like sprinting and crouching. They can seek cover and engage in combat with players.
● Patrol and attack logic of flamethrowers and poison soldiers has been optimized, ensuring immediate engagement upon spotting players.
Weak points for these enemies are added where attacking their fuel backpacks causes double damage.

● Lowered the overall difficulty of the prologue and optimized mission guidance.
● Modified the tower climbing process. After players teleport to the base for the first time, the base facilities will be in a blackout state. Players need to follow the arrow instructions to complete corresponding dialogue sequences, then go to the first, second, and third floors to obtain energy cores and return to the base to activate the corresponding facilities. After activating all three cores, players can officially start climbing the tower.
【Bug Fixes】
