addedSave/Load - Perma-DeathAs the game has expanded from a shorter experience into a 10-14+ hr game - we realize it just isn't realistic to have to play through flawlessly and it is also a huge bummer to start over - given also the fact that we intend to regularly add new content, new worlds and expand the game, its a far better experience being able to die and try again with a minimal set back.
addedSave/Load - Perma-DeathSeptember was heavily focused on the new planet - Irigar and is almost complete. We are shooting to have this released and playable for the Holidays. Irigar will be accessible at around 1/3 of the game, by talking to Doxer atop the Spire in the Ruins. Players will be able to switch back and forth between the two worlds any time from the map.
changedNEW MECH2nd Pilotable Mech will be the first Mech the player can pilot/possess - the Remote Combine Harbinger - RETCH is available on Irigar. It is a hefty biped equipped with railguns, cannon, grenade launcher and melee weapon.
addedQUALITY of LIFENew more legible health and armor bars on enemies (Irigar Only) - We are testing out an improved enemy health bar and will incorporate it across all enemies later. Prison Buildings Port Elevator Port Weather FX

Save/Load - Perma-Death
We have made a huge change to our save/load and we think this will bring a much needed reprieve to you. With the current change, when JUNA dies, she will instead be loaded back to the last checkpoint or activated relay instead of having to start over.
