Major Patch & Future Plans!
Hello, dear players!
We’ve just released a major patch packed with fixes (details below), and now we’d like to share our current plans and thoughts with you!
MAC build and Consoles will be updated in nearest future!
1. Thank You!
First of all — a huge thank you for your time spent in the game, your feedback, bug reports (especially via F7!), and for the amazing content on YouTube, Twitch, and other platforms! You make our community better!
2. What We’re Working On Right Now
3. Co-op — Is It Happening?
We did experiment with local co-op in one of the demo versions, but the game has since become more complex. Just imagine: two players in full "Source" armor means 14 units on the battlefield at once! 😅
Still, we’re exploring the possibility of adding co-op in some limited form. But it’s important to note: online co-op is definitely not happening — it’s technically impossible in "KIBORG".
4. Voice Acting — What’s the Plan?
We know many of you aren’t happy with the current voice acting. In this patch, we’ve added the option to disable character voices individually. We’re also looking into ways to improve this further, but we’re not ready to share details yet.
5. Discord & Leaderboards?
We’re considering adding Discord activities (maybe tournaments or events) and a leaderboard system — but these are still in early discussions.
6. Secret Ideas…
We have some really exciting ideas in the works, but it’s too early to talk about them. Once things are finalized, we’ll share the news — promise it’ll be worth the wait! 🔥
[h2]Gameplay changes[/h2]
Status effect tick damage can no longer kill the player — it no longer deals damage when the player has 1 health.
Dev Comment: Dying from status effects was one of the most frustrating experiences. With this change, status effects should feel fairer to players.
Status explosions now deal more damage to enemies.
Enemies now have higher levels on difficulties 2 through 7, providing a more engaging challenge.
Adjusted the difficulty curve at the end of Floor 2 and the beginning of Floor 3 to smooth out a difficulty spike.
The "Organic Tissue" augmentation now heals from the last two hits instead of three.
Removed the "Efficient Exchange" perk.
Dev Comment: "Organic Tissue" and "Efficient Exchange" rewarded passive gameplay, such as standing AFK out of combat. This created unengaging playstyles, so we’re addressing this issue in this and the next patch.
Buffed the following mutators:
- Brawler
- Patience
- Defensive Overcharge
- Berserker Rage
- The Last Light
- Glass Cannon
- Bloodhunt
- Tesla Adept
- Energy Surge
- Status Overload
- Bladerunner
- Glassforged
- Digital Mirage I
- Digital Mirage II
- Digital Mirage III
- Reaper III
- Reaper IV
- Reaper VI
- Reaper VII
- Deadeye II
- Deadeye III
- Deadeye V
- Aegis Shield System III
- Aegis Shield System IV
- Steelblood IV
Dev Comment: Mutators should now feel like real power boosts instead of unfavorable trade-offs.
Removed "Elite Bodyguards" mutator until further rework.
Slightly increased the reload cost of the Gauss Revolver.
Nerfed Gunslinger augmentations:
- Quick Reload
- Quick Draw
- Full Metal Jacket
- One Machine Army
Dev Comment: These high-end augmentations were a bit too strong and made the Gunslinger overpowered too quickly. The set can still reach a "broken" state, but now it won’t escalate as fast and won’t one-shot the final boss.
Reduced number of Drone Factories and Incubators in encounters.
Fenrir Minor Synergy now has an increased chance to drop health pickups.
Fenrir altars now drop melee weapon pickups instead of health packs.
Dev Comment: These Fenrir changes should make the set more stable and less dependent on RNG for melee weapon drops.
Reduced horizontal recoil deviation; overall recoil on some weapons has been lowered.
Removed the "Integrator" melee weapon mod.
Blur Heart now requires a smaller attack chain to trigger healing.
