Hey there!
As you may know, the previous update was our last one before our full release. We're gearing up towards that full release, and are hard at work getting the new content finished up for it, as well as some fixes and optimizations to existing features and content. Things are shaping up very nicely, and we hope you're as excited as we are!
So what can you expect in the full release? Here's a super quick rundown:
- An alternate world 1 setting (the Disposal Area) - available once you beat the Metroplex
- An alternate world 2 setting (the Swiss Alps) - available once you beat the Rainforest
- A modeled and textured Orbital Station
- The fourth and final world
- Three additional weapons
- A new difficulty called "custom" that allows you to fully configure your difficulty experience... from mega easy to mega hard!
- A fifth shop, allowing you to trade health for body upgrades
- Lots of new items
- Lots more polish
We don't have a release date just yet, but there's good news: you can play it right now! We have an in-progress beta branch of the full release available, and will be updating it frequently. To access it, simply-right click Exoverse in your Steam library, click the "Betas" tab, and select the beta branch.
What's currently implemented? Here's a quick rundown:
- Massive performance improvements
- Weapon range falloff (damage now gradually reduces to 0, instead of doing no damage once outside of range)
- More weapon range
- Better object lighting
- Item platforms in boss arenas
- The mostly finished Disposal Area
- Custom difficulty setting
- New upgrades shop
- New items focused around inventory slot expansion
- Rest of weapons added to unlock screen
Thanks everyone! Here's to finishing strong!
