Shattered Planet News

We've been quiet, but today we updated each class to have new, more interesting powers!

The new abilities are:

Assassin: All guns gain +2 range and +50% damage
Renegade: +2 Defense
Robot: 75% discount on Scrapobot 5000 purchases. Also opens locked doors without a key.
Exile: +50% Companion health

And the Diplomat (+10 Fate) is unchanged. We're working on a "deeper" system for the classes as well, with upgrades and active abilities in the coming weeks and months!

If you missed launch week, you're getting a second chance. You can pick up the game (you get a Steam key) for only $13, this weekend only on the Humble store! Maybe buy a copy as a gift for a friend?

Also, today we fixed a few achievements that weren't activating -- unfortunately, if you qualified for them previously, you'll have to earn them again. Respectively, and mind the spoilers:

• Man o' Peace: have a jellyfish companion
• Shellshocked: visit the level with bombs all over it
• Viva La Revolucion: submit to an alien worm in a choice event
• Gotta Catch Em All: hatch an egg in a choice event

Finally, the Conqueror achievement will now trigger if you successfully complete the Daily Challenge mode.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Our community poll had 100+ responses and the results were:

• 1st place (36%): Stronger class buffs/abilities
  
• 2nd place (31%): Pet upgrading system
  
• 3rd place (12%): Keyboard controls
  

So now we have our work cut out for us! We'll be making the classes more interesting to switch between -- look for a biggish update in the coming weeks!

Also, we just updated this morning (2.0.7), fixing the lingering buffs after the daily challenge, and making robots less perceptive.
