Welcome to the jungle! We have released two patches so far. It is time for our first actual content update and we are beyond excited. We hope you are ready to enjoy an entirely new level, new features, new mechanics, new customization options and tons of bug fixes.
Moving forward we will aim at doing 1 patch and 1 update every month. Expect patches to mainly contain fixes and tweaks reported and requested by the community. Updates on the other hand will contain more new content in the form of items, features, areas etc.
The goal of this update is to bring more FCT to you, the player, and this means more fun things that we have chosen to bundle with this new level.
The Botanical Gardens are open on Alithea. The Botanical Gardens is a space for tranquility, wonder and learning. Chill on the benches, admire the lush environment, take a stroll through the botanical museum to brush up on your plant knowledge or grab a bite in the café.
The Botanical Gardens has something for everyone; however be aware that some exhibitions are more dangerous than others with carnivorous plants that will gobble up any stragglers unfortunate enough to find themselves stepping over the smaller barriers.
The onboard surveillance rooms have received a major update as well. Players now have access to a broadcasting screen in the Casino, Restaurant and Garden levels.
It is our hope that the security cameras will facilitate more deception and discussions as well as give incentives to spread out a little more. We are actively working on making new features that disrupt the meta and you should expect some great new things coming soon.
NEW UNLOCKS: Unlocking things by level isn't as satisfying as we want it be - and we are working to make FCT more interesting in that regard by preparing for different tiers of items in the future. As a first step in that direction, we have chosen to tie a lot of the new customization together with the achievement system. Earning and unlocking the achievements will therefore serve as prerequisites for some the new clothing options.
Moreover, we plan to increase the amount of twitch drops over the coming weeks. They will have a shorter time period for a player to unlock. So expect more on that front soon.
COOP FIRES: We have always wanted FCT to be about working together. Therefore, this update introduces new gassy blue coop fires, which require two or more players to extinguish. We hope this adds dynamic that both residents and personoids can play around.
NEW PASSIVE ITEM: We plan for FCT to feature a wide range of both active and passive items. We are excited to bring you the first passive item in the form a diving mask. Find it, equip it and enjoy an extra long stay in our indoor pools! In addition to this, Swim rings now also improves lifetime in the pools. (Yes, the two do stack).
We hope that you will enjoy the effort and work we put into this update. The entire changelist can be found below.
As always, thank you for taking part in this journey with us!
Sincerely,
The entire Invisible Walls team
