Bug Fixes

  • There was a bug which stopped Rox-E from dancing when players clicked on her too enthusiastically. We're proud to announce nothing will stop Rox-E from dancing now!

  • Lots and lots of under the hood changes. The game should feel a little smoother and a little faster.

Known Issues

  • Some assets do not colour-swap when colours are changed in options (highlighting, save/intel indicators)

  • Our 16:10 aspect ratio support involves cropping rather than black bars. It's on our list - we're sorry for any 16:10 users who can't see Rox-E's full dance.

What's Next

  • We have a system we're really excited to introduce you to. It just needs a bit of tutorialisation, and then it'll be ready to go in the demo.
