Hello, Survival Typists!
This month’s update focuses on a new main weapon and a lot of work under the hood to build up for future releases. Without further ado, let’s get to it!
New Main Weapon : Wildcard
Wildcard brings a bit of randomness to your play. Each shot is randomly selected to have a different effect between heat, cold, kinetic, and electric. High level players will appreciate the fact that the wildcard evolutions allow you to combine their effects to create “combo weapons” if you time your shots correctly!
Roadmap
Our roadmap image has been a little out of date and so now it’s time to update it and tell you what else we are working on. As you can see in the roadmap, the release of Wildcard completes all of the Weapons we announced for the game. While we might be slowing down on releasing brand new weapons, we're diverting our attention to creating more evolutions to make each existing weapon deeper and more distinct
We still have a few augmentation codexes and also have more enemies and one last boss in store for you in an upcoming update.
Most of the major tasks in the game are done, with the only major thing left being adding Steam Workshop integration.
Steam Workshop
Most of the groundwork has been done for steam workshop integration. We want to refine it so you all have a smooth experience when using it and making and sharing your own custom wordlists. We’re planning to have this for you by the next update.
Traditional Chinese Added
Traditional Chinese has now been added to the game, and we would love your feedback on it.
We are always paying attention to what our players are saying, and we are leaving ourselves a little room to add “just one more thing” to the game. When the time comes, we’ll be sure to share that with you.
Until then, happy typing!
