20XX 0.8 -> 0.954 Update Summary

BIG CHANGES:

  • Brand-new boss fights and enemies!
  • Tons of new items!
  • Core Augmentations (Core Augs, aka CAs) have been added to the game!
    • Core Augs affect one of your character's Core Systems -- Body, Head, Arms, and Legs -- granting powerful new abilities.
    • You can see your current Core Augs both in the Pause screen and visually on your character.
    • Each Core Aug is exclusive with other Augs in its slot, and each Core Aug belongs to a set.
    • Core Augs can be mixed and matched with Augs from other sets, but they truly shine when you find a complete set. See what happens!
    • Core Augs (currently) do not need to be unlocked, and are awarded in Challenge Rooms (always) and Shop Rooms (sometimes).

  • Challenge Rooms! These rooms optionally spawn as level midpoints. Three waves of enemies stand between you and the door! Each Challenge Room also comes with a bonus Challenge condition. If you achieve it, you'll get a bonus gold chest!
  • Added Prototype rooms! Discover their glory -- but at what cost?
  • New item class: Repros! Repros have realized the error of their ways, and want to help you out. Some murder your enemies, some protect you from harm, and some do special, awesome stuff. There are 8 kinds - catch 'em all!
  • Massive art updates!
  • Massive game performance updates!
  • Netcode stability enhancements!
  • Smarter level design!
  • Better Challenge scoring and Weekly Challenges!

Thanks for reading!


Hello! Today's announcement is a summary of the major changes since our last Major Update for anyone finding us from the Steam frontpage! This list is far from exhaustive, but gives a good idea of what we've been working on for the past few months.

Disclaimer: 20XX is in beta. As we develop the game, we may make changes that require us to invalidate or wipe your 20XX save files, Steam Leaderboard info/achievements, and other save-y stuff like that. Be aware!

Note: The closer we get to release, the closer the price will get to our planned Full Release price of $15.
