After many many patch cycles, we are leaving Early Access! Thank you for all those supported us throughout Early Access!

Also, Season 3 begins today and all leaderboards have been reset! Time to compete for the number one spot guys!

Enjoy!

With the migration of the Experimental Build 6 to main, we are in the final stages of leaving Early Access. Season 3 will begin officially when it leaves Early Access in a few days. Experimental Build has also been removed, so there is no need to select launch options any more!

So, as of this patch, we are officially starting to prepare for leaving Early Access. Since launching Early Access, we've accomplished the three main goals of the game: more mechs, more weapons and a new game mode. From today, the regular patch cycle ends with this patch and we will be revising every aspect of the game to ensure that there are no bugs.

While we are at it, if you encounter bugs or a must have QoL feature kindly let us know.

Here are few things that we are working on for the full release. Please note that the details may change without notice.

• Fully translated option descriptions
  
• Removal or Expansion of the tutorial sequence
  
• Another aim mode (Fully adjusted mode) that removes parallax completely

• Added per level model for Drone Pod
  
• Added per level model and animation for Orbital Striker's projectile
  
• Added boss HP bar (Stages 1~4)
  
• Added button prompts for all buttons (even for Keyboard)
  
• Added skip intro voice prompt text
  
• Added full keyboard short cut support for the lobby
  
• Changed Tactical Nuke drop radius to be slightly larger
  
• Changed Drone Pod spawn behavior to be distributed equally between other pods
  
• Changed Drone Pod critical scale to 80% from 30%
  
• Changed Specter Damage from 70 -> 345 (See below for more details)
  
• Improved Orbital Striker to drop relative to screen space rather than a fixed radius
  
• Improved Orbital Striker projectile animation
  
• Improved upgrade panel UI to better show increase and decrease of reroll/skips
  
• Improved input detection and some cases of double register
  
• Improved intro sequence with simple animations
  
• Improved multi-threading
  
• Fixed announcer voice not pausing when entering menu and mid upgrades
  
• Fixed rare cases of key clashes when returning to the game from menu
  
• Fixed skip intro incorrectly displaying buttons
  
• Game engine upgrade

Drone Pod spawn limit was changed from total pool (28 total) to per weapon (5, and 8 post evolution). This means that per weapon damage decreased as the number of total drones spawned is now limited early game. To balance this, the damage and the critical rate was adjusted - also accounting for the need for the damage buff.

Please note that while this patch is not particularly unstable, I've only had 2 days to QA. The usual interval between regular patches is about 3 weeks and I did not want to delay any further. I will be QA'ing the build for few days and it may receive some announced fixes (if required). If you come across one, kindly report it via the forum.

Thanks!
