Hi Here's a new patch with a bit of everything: - New Ironman Mode: stops you from saving manually (make sure you have autosave enabled so there's at least one save in case of any problem). - New Personal Shield Gear: protects from damage by giving you a shield bar with 4 hit points. Melee attacks ignore shield.
- Added "ragdoll deaths" and extra death animations for most enemies so they don't look always the same and the bodies fall more naturally.
- Added Xeno Eggs special loot that can only be sold at a special lab encounter. - Added "Passengers" loot (basically a way for the player to get some money from evacuating people in certain special scenarios). - Added new lab encounter: now you have 50% chances to find a lab orbiting a gas giant that can buy your xeno eggs or that you can raid for loot.
- Added new action to Human and Void Spawn Mercenaries: Hail of Bullets. - Removed Void Roar action from Void Spawn (if you have a previous save file with it you can still use it though). - Added sorting buttons to soldier list. - Added option to invert mouse zoom. - Fixed a bug where some enemies could perform a double movement melee attack and then still have an action. - Fixed a bug where dialogue screen would still be active after returning to Main Menu during Tutorial scene. - Fixed a bug where pressing Escape during an enemy animation could cancel it. - Fixed a problem with grenade trails doing a circular animation. - Some other minor fixes and changes.

Plan for Future Patch:

Unless there's some urgent fixes or players prefer otherwise I would like to take my time with the next patch so it's bigger and includes major features. I will most likely go with the Space Combat system and start creating new "Victory conditions" (currently missions are just "kill everything to win" so I would like to make scenarios with timers, for example a ship that's powering it's jump drive, or loot that you must carry like a heist and maybe more advanced stuff like bounty hunting or defensive maps). I would also like to know what do you think about the current size of the maps, is the current size ok or would you prefer bigger and more detailed maps? What do you think is more pressing? and what do you want but you can wait for it? (basically your short term and long term wishlist for the project). Thanks for your feedback, it has been very different from what I expected so now I decided to focus in what players are actually demanding instead of what I though they would want while I was developing it. Regards, Jorge
