Thanks to everyone who took part in the recent playtest. The feedback received was incredibly helpful. Changes and improvements based on the feedback are currently being implemented and include the following:

• Addition of manual turn ability
  
• Balancing and improvements to weapons + modules
  
• Difficulty balancing
  
• Various bug fixes
  

The biggest change is the addition of the manual turn ability, which allows the player to turn 180 and fire in the opposite direction.





Previously, the mech would only auto-turn in specific situations, but the option to turn manually was frequently requested, so now players can choose between auto and manual turning in the options menu. It allows for more freedom and control over how to deal with incoming threats, regardless of which side of the screen they're coming from.

Overall, we feel the playtest has achieved its main objective – to help make the game even better! The final tweaks and added polish are going great and we'll be able to confirm a release date very soon, so stay tuned!

If you're into the games of developer Steel Mantis (Slain: Back From Hell, Valfaris, Valfaris: Mecha Therion), then do yourself a favour and click the following link and join them on their new Discord channel: https://discord.gg/9wEKqUCNug

The channel will be the devs' first destination for sharing art and info about their games, as well as shooting the breeze about what they're playing, what they're listening to etc. And, in the very near future, they're going to be putting out a call for playtesters to provide feedback for Valfaris: Mecha Therion, so if that sounds like something you'd want to be involved with, go ahead and join the Discord.

See you there!
