Suit Up - Full Moon Update

Another full moon brings us a big LithoBreak update.

This one is all about giving the player a physical presence in the world — not just stats, not just UI, but an actual character you can see, equip, and recognize at a glance. This has been a long time in the making by our talented artist, so let's suit up and jump right in!

What’s New

🧑‍🚀 New Character & Suit Visuals

The player now has a refreshed character model and EVA suit.

This is a big step toward a more readable, grounded look that fits the tone of LithoBreak: functional, industrial, and a little worn. Expect this to evolve as we add color options, more wearables, and HexaHold items.

🎒 EvaPack Update — The First Wearable

The EvaPack backpack is now fully visualized on the character.

• Equipment you install actually shows up on your back

• Oxygen tanks, batteries, and other HexaHold items are no longer abstract

• What you’re carrying is readable at a glance — by you and other players

The EvaPack is also the first in the wearable systems we’re introducing. Future wearables will include things like:

• Boots

• Gloves

• Helmets

• Thruster packs

Each will integrate with the suit resources and provide capabilities in their own way.

🔩 HexaHold Items on the Character

HexaHold items are now physically represented on the EvaPack instead of living only in menus.

This ties together:

• Inventory decisions

• Suit layout

• Visual identity

If you see it on the character, it’s actually there.

✋ Updated Hand Pose System

Your character’s hands now pose correctly when holding items.

Tools and carried objects are no longer floating suggestions — they’re gripped, oriented, and animated as part of the character. This lays the groundwork for better interaction feedback and future animation passes.

Why This Matters

This update is about alignment.

Your:

• Inventory

• Suit systems

• Carried equipment

• And character visuals

…are now speaking the same language.

As HexaHold expands and survival mechanics deepen, having a character that visually reflects those systems becomes critical — for immersion, multiplayer readability, and future features.

A Peek at the Future

We’re also sharing a few early, in-development screenshots of our upcoming voxel system.

These are R&D visuals, not final gameplay — but they hint at where LithoBreak’s terrain and construction tech is headed next.

Full Moon Cadence

As always, main-branch updates continue to land on each full moon — sometimes right on time, sometimes a little late, but always pushing the game forward in meaningful ways.

Next up: progression on the voxel system.
