addedI hope you are all doing good! I wanted to talk about some of the new features that are in development for the next patch 0.2! As you guys know we have been doing weekly patches up until now and it worked out pretty well. But now I think we are ready to step up to version 0.2 and for this I want to add some big features. This patch will need some more time to cook so that it's ready with no issues.

addedGasmasksOf course adding a mechanic like this requires extensive testing and balancing to make sure it is fun and not cumbersome.

addedBackpacksA way to increase the inventory space. Wearing backpacks will give you extra slots you can use. We will still have pouches which can store items inside them. I am also planning to add more specialized pouch types in the future, like a "grenade pouch" where you can exclusively store explosives. A duffle bag to store only weapons etc.

addedOverwatch AI ImprovementsMore improvments to Overwatch-AI. I especially want to focus on improving combat behaviour. Adding more player <> NPC interactions etc.

addedMore Optimizations and QoL FeaturesI hear you all that game needs more optimization and you are absolutely right! I will focus on bringing new optimizations to make sure game runs smoothly across all devices. Planning to add more quality of life features that will make the gameplay experience a lot better as well. I also regularly read through the suggestions you guys make and pick the ones I like to implement in the game.

I would like to talk about what is coming for version 0.2 and some of the other plans and developments happening.

So what is coming?

Gasmasks

One feature that I am excited about is the addition of the gasmasks. Air quality in Asran Exclusion Zone is not best as you all know. Which forces operators to take a precaution against it. The ones that can get their hands on a proper gasmask are lucky but the poor ones have to wrap a fabric around their faces and just hope for the best.

Basically you will need to wear gasmask and take care of it properly. You will need to make sure you have clean filters and replace them when they go bad. Since you are constantly in gunfights the goggles might get damaged as well. Which will require you to replace them. You will also be able to replace the goggles with night vision goggles to gain an upper hand in night combat. NPCs will also be able to wear night vision goggles so be careful!

Of course adding a mechanic like this requires extensive testing and balancing to make sure it is fun and not cumbersome.

Backpacks

A way to increase the inventory space. Wearing backpacks will give you extra slots you can use. We will still have pouches which can store items inside them. I am also planning to add more specialized pouch types in the future, like a "grenade pouch" where you can exclusively store explosives. A duffle bag to store only weapons etc.

Overwatch AI Improvements

I also regularly read through the suggestions you guys make and pick the ones I like to implement in the game.

If you have any suggestions/ideas please let me know!

Localization

Valuable community members are volunteered to localize the game to different languages. Currently we are working on Chinese Traditional, Russian, Latvian, French and Spanish localizations of the game. These translations will be slowly added to the game when they are ready. If you are willing to help us out please join our Discord!

With all said, I will still be releasing small patches to address bug issues or adding small features during the development of 0.2 so please report any bugs you discover!

Stay tuned!
