EXPRESSIVE UPGRADE (Preview) - Oxygen Not Included
286The new Expressive Upgrade is out in preview! Dupes can now express themselves and have set periods in the day for relaxation (break time), work and morning routines. You can tell what they like or dislike from the little expression bubbles that appear over their heads. They can enjoy some nice gossip in the evenings around the water cooler after a hard day of digging or wrangling those feisty hatches.
Update from the Klei Forums:
Like waking from a daze, the Duplicants have suddenly become aware of life going on around them. They've become concerned for their fellow Duplicant. They've started wanting more out of their existence on this little asteroid. They've invented video games.
If you're interested, you can help us test this new content for the next two weeks before it goes live. As always we appreciate your feedback, so please share your thoughts and opinions on the Suggestions Forum. Thank-you!
Please note: The socialization and recreation systems are still being roughed in, so you'll find more loose ends and missing details than usual at the moment. We still have to add things like tooltips and icons, UI for the schedule, attributes and effects actually modifying each other, and so forth. We encourage you to comment on the game as you're currently experiencing it, as we'll be considering your feedback while we develop these systems.
