Its been a while since our last update and were excited to talk a bit more about what were working on - here's what we have in store for you for one of the upcoming updates:
Interior walls and objects (and pammies) will soon be able to get exploded by certain items. Who needs to strategically plan escape routes when you can blast open a few walls?

Crisis employees will soon be able to zoom, rotate, and pan to get a better look at the situations.
Confused about which item does what thing, about how to reset items, or about existence in general? Were working on answering some of those questions with a totally new tutorial.
Also in the works is a cool new element - Ice forms when water freezes (who knew?) causing blocked paths or stopping Pammies in their tracks.

Theres a world of difference (sorry) between our old and upcoming world maps:

Shinier buttons and colours, highlighting things, and some general refinements are also on the way.
Were making use of the new mechanics to develop new accident-prone situations.
Upcoming improvements to the game's aesthetic include new room decor and outfits along with some improvements to the heat vision and such.

Whats that? Who knows. In any case this is apparently a very handy thing to do to prepare ourselves for future goals like enhancing objective progression or potentially a level editor.
We've had a list of things to tidy up that hopefully won't grow too big during the next phases of testing.
We'll roll out some of the updates in late January pending tester feedback. Finally a big thanks for the support and feedback throughout the development so far, the feedback from our earliest builds right through to recent playtests has helped us make much better decisions during task planning which will hopefully result in a much better experience. If youre interested in becoming a beta tester or to let us know your feedback we'd love to hear your from you on our discord here: Panic Mode Discord
