Hey everyone!
Sorry it took so long for this patch but it was for a good reason, a lot of work into a new cool feature: Perks.
There are 5 kinds of Perks: Background, Experience, Feat, Karma and Volatile. Most of them will need to be unlocked by playing (old save games won’t be able to do it, sorry), and every time you decide to start a new game, each unlocked perk will be there for you to choose right from the start. Although for now there are just some initial Perks and more work to be done, the idea is to introduce new challenges and play styles, and specially to encourage players to start over for a different experience. For this purpose, I want to add more “Speed run” based Perks soon.
NOTE: Perks won’t be translated right now, until everything is solid. I hope you all understand.
Enjoy people!
