Since Periodicity - Hats and scars launched in December 2024, the game did pretty much as I expected. I got feedback, some valuable, some not so much, and I had some ideas left that didn't make it into the game.
So I continued development and here is the patch 1.1. Aside from bug fixes and performance improvements, I added new weapons to let you change up your playstyle. There are also new upgrades in some of the stores to help you on your way.
In terms of UI I tried to optimize the game for Steam Deck while also improving the 1920 x 1080 look and feel. Every vendor has a sign now so that you know which one is in which building. I also overhauled the glossary to show and explain almost all the items. This makes keeping track of items you have and don't have easier.
I hope you enjoy these changes and give Periodicity - Hats and scars another go. If you have any feedback, please use the community on Steam to let me know.
