Hello, arcology citizens!
The next, and final major content update, Index 3, is now available. This update represents the last 30% of XVTM and picks up where the previous release, Index 2, left off.
This update adds a host of new content, improvements to existing content, and bug fixes. Here are some of the highlights:
Updates to the UI, including resizing and repositioning of many core elements like the dialogue box, as well as an overhaul of the pause menu.
The pre-game segment has been rebuilt, and now includes a revamped new game flow and an improved title screen.
All microgames have received touch ups and balance adjustments.
The final set of achievements has been added.
The last segment of XVTM’s story, including multiple epilogues, has been added.
Various bugs, typographical and grammatical errors, and other edge case issues have been fixed.
The store page has also received several updates, including:
Updated screenshots.
A new trailer.
Finalized system requirements.
In addition, please be aware of the following:
Gamepad support for XVTM is now limited to in-game content only and players will need to use a mouse for navigating UI screens and the main menu.
The XVTM Demo has been retired as it no longer reflects the current state of the game.
The final update, which will bring XVTM out of Early Access and into its full 1.0 release, is tentatively scheduled for late December and is only planned to include a save game editor (for players who have completed at least one full playthrough), bug fixes and minor content adjustments. Additionally, XVTM’s price will increase to $9.99 to reflect its final, content complete state.
And to celebrate Index 3’s release, XVTM will be 50% off for the next week.
Whether you’re a new player or are coming from the previous release, please be sure to read through the stickied forum posts for extra information before playing:
Thank you for your continued support, and stay tuned for further updates between now and the end of the year.
