Hey Everyone! First of all we would love to thank everyone who is supporting us on Early Access, you are the best and we will be working hard to make Automata Break the best game it can be! Here are some of the things we have been working on and that are going to be available on the next patch this very Thursday: We noticed there is a big disparity in the difficulty between the Single Player and Multiplayer mode, so we will be doing a complete overhaul to the pacing of the game in terms of difficulty and progress, that means a few things: -We are going to redistribute the level order because some of the early levels were where more complex than some of the later levels. -Weapons and Towers will unlock gradually throughout the first 4 levels. -Each enemy type will be gradually introduced throughout the first 7 levels. -The first few levels will be shorter and will have less waves, the length of the levels will gradually increase throughout the first 5 levels. We are adding a new "Insane" difficulty level for people who are looking for a greater challenge. We are adding Steam Cloud Save and Achievements support to the game. We are adding a gameplay options menu with two new options initially: -Option to turn off damage numbers. -Option to always keep the same weapon on both hand when changing weapons. Unfortunately, as a consequence of the redistribution of the levels, we'll need to restart the progress of the game to all players. We hope this will make the pacing of the game better going forward. We know this can be quite disheartening to some of the players who have progressed through the levels, so as a thank you for playing the first version of the levels we will be unlocking Golden Skins to everyone who has finished the first level in any mode:
[previewyoutube=Ej_qlVw2mpk;full][/previewyoutube] There will also be legacy achievements to people who progressed through the older version of the levels: Legacy Operator: Beat level 5 in Singleplayer on Normal Difficulty Legacy Elite Operator: Beat level 5 in Singleplayer on Hard Difficulty Legacy Containment Team: Beat level 5 in Multiplayer on Normal Difficulty Legacy Elite Containment Team: Beat level 5 in Multiplayer on Hard Difficulty Legacy Executor: Beat level 10 in Singleplayer on Normal Difficulty Legacy Elite Executor: Beat level 10 in Singleplayer on Hard Difficulty Legacy Annihilation Team: Beat level 10 in Multiplayer on Normal Difficulty Legacy Elite Annihilation Team: Beat level 10 in Multiplayer on Hard Difficulty We will add other ways to get these achievements and golden skins in the future for people who missed out on them through a "Legacy" level mutator that will make these levels considerably harder. We are also adding a new Halloween mutator on this patch, we will announce it on a separate thread. Again thank you so so much for being with us in this Early Access journey! We will be more active on the Steam Community Hub with announcements from now on, all feedback is greatly appreciated, and if you would like to chat with us more directly you can always find us on our Discord server: https://discord.gg/ZRcdzpj
