Here's something for the players who want to get into early builds! [img=https://i.imgur.com/S27Y5tG.gif] New TURMS area is finally is out in development branch (pinned post explains how to switch). New mechanics, visuals and area design in place, with final polish coming later (expect some missing/temporary sounds and dialogs). [img=https://i.imgur.com/x1rg0pF.gif] It'd help me out if you try new update and new content specifically, and post feedback on the forums, discord (https://discord.gg/wrmJUyU) or send it directly to me via email: antonkudin@me.com). To access new content directly: start up the game, select 'New game' and switch to 'Hacks' tab. From there, top backup will load you up right before TURMS area, as you and Novikov are about to board it from Habitation. Several sequent backups are shortcuts throughout the new area (its pretty big), in case you get lost or stuck. Thank you for playing my game!! ;] [img=https://i.imgur.com/28nQV6D.gif] [img=https://i.imgur.com/WNyp5H4.gif]
