Hey all! It's been officially one year (+ one day) since the release of this game. Kinda. Lost World Zero was released on the 12th of February, 2016. Somewhere shortly after the release (shortly as in, a few months) the project files were all deleted because Windows 10 had updated without asking me, and I had no control over it (I was out shopping and doing chores and such, came back home and found it updated, however, it failed to update and then performed disk checks, or something and wiped all my drives). That was around the beginning of Summer 2016, or so, it's blurred in my head. Bad times. In August 2016 I started working on a rewrite, still called Lost World Zero. It was going good, but I realized what people said in their reviews: we want stuff to do, and more content. So I scrapped Lost World Zero and took a hiatus for a bit, and in October/November 2016 I began work on LONE WOLF: Horizon. This game is the Lost World Zero Redux. I added a ton of stuff to do, such as gun shops to buy from, army management of the UWA army, where you can fire UWA soldiers, or upgrade your base and hire some more. I added world events to keep the world interesting. I added a lot of stuff and made sure the releases were as bug free as possible. People still aren't happy so I'm still working on adding a ton of stuff. We're getting to that part of this announcement soon. LONE WOLF: Horizon released on December 16th, 2016. People seemed to enjoy it for a bit, saying it ran a lot better than Lost World Zero, etc. Some people are still not happy, and I'm working my ass off to make sure everyone is satisfied. I am continuously adding new content and things to do. This leads to the question, what's next, and what's left? As stated in the Early Access Questions part of the store page, I am aiming for a Q1 2017 release, which is before March 31. I am working my ass off on meeting that deadline, even if it's March 31 at 11:59 PM. What's next before full release? I have a Google Doc with a roadmap of what's left for the 1.0 full release of the game, and of course this isn't EVERYTHING in the game, but a few basic ideas. Every update until March 31 will have one of these items listed, and more things added on. Below is a list of broad ideas for the 1.0 full release. Some things are marked as done, because they are finished for now.

ADDITIONS

(DONE)
• Added health packs that can be found on dead bodies as loot. When picked up, your health increases by 10. (DONE)
• Added new event type: Crashed ship (either UWA or SNA ships can be found on the surface in a critically damaged state, and can be looted for weapon and health packs).
• Added ships flying overhead, just to make the world feel more alive.
• Added new event type: SNA Bombing, these happen occasionally where SNA aircraft will fly over the UWA base or areas where UWA soldiers are and drop bombs on them.
• Added more vegetation to Alice-43b. So more plant life and variety, it’s now complete.
• Added a new animal to Alice-43b: (havent decided yet)
• Added gas clouds to the moon, which indicate an area full of Eos crystals.
• Added new keybind: Swap Weapon.
• Added melee combat. You can press your new Swap Weapon key to switch to your current saber.
• Added sabers, which can be found from dead bodies and in buildings, these are highly powerful and increase the armor protection modifier.

CHANGES/IMPROVEMENTS

(DONE)
• Changed gun loot drop mechanism. It was too easy to get a good gun very fast, so now better weapons have a lower chance of dropping, and their Uncommon/Rare/Legendary counterparts are also changed a bit. (DONE)
• Improved lighting: robot soldier explosions now emit light, as well as Eos crystal ores, healing spires, and more. (DONE)
• Improved screenshake of robot soldier explosions. They are more intense, and are based on distance. Being close to the explosion will have a more intense screenshake. (DONE)
• Improved death effect of Earth AI. The robots no longer vanish, and since they are robots, they explode.
• AI now sometimes have sabers for melee combat.
