After months of hard work, the update is finally done! We have a LOT of fixes, changes and new content that's been added, so let's start going through the list:
-New rooms: Most of the redundant hallways and passages that were previously just empty space have now been merged into large rooms, making landmarking easier and making exploring less repetitive.
-The Sub-Reactor is now an explorable area.
-Added a function to the oxygen relay room.
-New documents.
-New mechanic: Security clearances. Certain rooms and briefcases are locked and require a security badge of the appropriate level to open up. These badges spawn semi-randomly across the sector.
-Added the Beast Detectors, automated devices that produce a blaring alarm when it detects the presence of a beast nearby.
-Fixed an issue where the mouse would dissapear when hitting "tab" while interacting with certain widgets (mainly the pause and save menu.)
-Crying no longer alerts sound-sensitive beasts.
-New mechanic: Outer-Grave Afflictions. Dying to certain beasts can now inflict a debuff the persists after death and cannot be removed by conventional means.
-New terminal entries.
-When speaking to the Lady In Green, the camera now automatically pans to her face.
-Made certain actions visible on the player's arm and improved certain animations to show the player's arms as well.
-New interaction with Of Many Faces and the strange syringe.
-Slightly increased the multiplication of xp needed to level up.
-New ailment: radiation poisoning.
-New death animations.
-Made the pillars in the Spider's Den twice as big, while also increasing the chances of finding the exit in that specific room significantly.
-Made Of Many Faces' xp loss punishment also permanently increase the xp needed to level up and made its sickness punishment inflict radiation poisoning.
-Made the tutorial even easier and fixed an issue where opening the inventory immediately after spawning would softlock you.
-Moved one of the junction boxes closer to the screen it lights.
-Added medkit stations with randomized medkit spawns across the map.
-Fixed an issue where the brightness of the game would be reduced to 0 at random.
-Fixed an issue where rummaging through certain drawers or trash cans could increase your inventory size by 1.
-New mechanic: Foreign memories.
-More minor and major tweaks to balancing and bug fixes.
Overall this is a massive upgrade to the game, and I am confident that these changes and additions will lead to a much smoother and enjoyable experience.
I would also like to highly recommend starting a new game if you want to experience this update to the fullest. While your save file may not have been affected by some of the glitches that were fixed now, it's definitely the safest bet and will ensure that you have a much more polished experience.
