While we're working on restoring Aziel, adding seamless space travel, and creating a much improved cloud saving system, we were able to hit a number of items from our bug reports to improve the overall experience. When we play the game we feel much still needs to be done to improve the core gameplay, and we're chipping away at it week over week.

Mecha Crab

We rewrote the creature driving system to be far less complex in code and more modular. In addition to having strafing, running, jumping and shooting from the Mecha Crab with improved physics and math driven IK, this system can possibly be used in other ways. We'll experiment more with how to use this new tech as we go.

Temperature

The temperature dial has been changed to reflect your suit temperature, which is calculated by a number of real time weather forces in the game. You'll notice now that your temperature gauge will change when entering an enclosed vehicle or structure, which will also affect the frost on screen, since these areas are considered "optimal temperature zones."

We hope with making the temperature suit-centric will be more clear, and give more piece of mind when entering a warm zone. Remember, all the temperature readings are in Celsius.

Hover and Stamina Adjustments

In the Survival Update we re-established a baseline for the survival gameplay. In the past, many of the features were over powered and took away from the survival mechanics, and therefore we rebalanced in the Survival Update. That said, when we make adjustments we typically go too far on purpose, then gradually ease up to find the sweet spot.

Hover and Stamina are both key features in the game and will probably be endlessly tweaked, and in this build we're trying this: Hover duration is doubled, Stamina usage rate halved with its restore rate doubled. This will allow you to sprint for longer periods of time while feeling more responsive. The hover now sports a replenish timer, since hover replenishing takes 5 seconds to fill.

Lots of Minor Fixes

We've been chatting on Discord and fielding your responses on the Houston email channel, and have been able to knock out a large number of issues reported. The worms have been removed from the interior of the map (for now), suit attachment rendering fixed, and lots of other small things, including a quick pass on UI audio.
