What to expect for the next update

The next update will mainly focus on the enemies. Because it is needed, and because you suggested it many times. Indeed, there is a lack of variety in the enemies. Just adding new attacks would not feel very satisfying, and we want them to really look different the ones from the others. We also feel that the game needs more life, a more organic feeling. And finally, we want them to be more connected to the storm. For these reasons, we decided to actually make an important update on the drones and make them look and feel more "animals". It is not just about the 3D modeling but also about the AI, their animations and how they behave. You can see here how one of the drones may look like:
You will also be able to "tame" them. Once tamed, they will follow you and protect you. For instance, the one shown above has a tempest shield. Once tamed, it will follow you and protect you from the storm. We also want to update how the storm system works. We feel that we are on the good road, but some adjustments and modifications are required to make it fun and complete. It also feels a bit too frustrating for the moment, we will correct that. We cannot say too much about it yet since there are still some tests in progress.

Holidays

As we are spending holidays with our family, we won't be able to work on the game and the next update will come a bit later than usually (We want to bring an update every 3 weeks +/-1 week). We should release v0.2.1 on January the 14th. Meanwhile, we wish you the best for the new year to come, and we will see you next year!

Humanity is threatened. A deadly virus awoke, and it is spreading quickly.
The particular flora of Arcania, a planet used to prepare humans for space colonization, may help in the creation of a cure. But it is now abandoned since working mechas turned against humans.
A group of researchers is sent to this planet to find a solution. You are one of them.
But as you arrived, your spaceship crashed…

Hack and command mechas

Mechas are wild and are used to living in the storm. You must fight some of them for your survival, but they are often stronger than you are.
Your best chance of survival is to hack some of those mechas and use them as allies to defeat the others.

Evolve

The more combats you win, the more fragments you earn. They can be used to evolve your mechas' strength and skills. But you can also find some during exploration.
Your character can also improve its capabilities.

The Tempest

The weather is an important threat. You must face lightning strikes, tornadoes, and other elements in order to make your way through the storm.
You will be able to activate old installations used to ionize the air and stop the tempest within an area. And thankfully an old station above the clouds, left over by humans, provides good shelter.

The Spaceship

You have access to your spaceship early in the game, but you do not have enough fuel to leave the planet.
It is impossible to land within the tempest, but once you have unlocked some weather controllers, you will be able to travel quickly over the map and save a lot of time.

Collect, build and craft

Find several resources along the journey and use them to craft useful items.
You can also decide to create a greenhouse directly inside your station if you want to grow and farm plants by yourself.
