Hello! Welcome to the Dark Matter V1.3 progress update! We have been working very hard on the new version of Dark Matter. One of these major things is related to the UI. The UI has been completly redone and now has a brand new look to fit the game right! You can see the main menu leaked image with the new UI being used. Here is a list of other things that have already been done for version 1.3:
-Add a pause menu
You can now access a pause menu inside the levels by press the F1 key. From that menu you can: Resume Game, Exit to menu, or quit game.
-Add death animations to the enemies
The enemies no longer explode, they now have death animations that are fitting to the way that they are killed.
-New cutscene.
A new amazing cutscene to finish off the story of the game along with a new credits scene.
-Changed the tutorial text.
Changed the tutorial text to be brighter and clearer to read.
-Locked the mouse cursor while playing
The mouse cursor has been locked while playing the game. It is only avaliable when the player pauses the game by pressing F1.

What we need to finish before v1.3 releases:
-Massive AI overhaul
We have been working on improving the AI enough where the game is more playable and more enjoyable.
-Fix the decryption key bug
Bug where any option you choose is always right.
-Fix more bugs

Things we would like to do before v1.3 release but are not high priority:
-Reload gun with "r"
We would like to add a reload feature to the game by pressing the "r" key.
-Add effects when timer runs out
Add an explosion effect when the timer runs out on the bomb levels.
