UPDATE 4026681 (Dec 15, 2023)

This update may come as a bit of a surprise to some of you but we want to stress that this update comes after a long window of testing and thinking through which best way to incorporate and combine seemingly contradicting feedback about the inclusion of i-frames. The inclusion of i-frames does not go against our design philosophy, which is to try and respect player expression and give them various options when deciding which tools to best tackle the Omnistructure with. In this respect, the update includes i-frames as a way to avoid damage in combat. There are items and builds that offer other benefits at the cost of losing i-frames. In this way we have opened a fork in playstyles by offering players an option between [b]reaction[/b] and [b]positioning[/b] when it comes to avoiding damage. This is not a hard line, as veteran players know that blocking, jumping, crouching, and many abilities already offer reaction-based complete avoidance of damage. All playstyles are equally valid and require a different approach to combat - this is simply an inclusion of an additional tool in your wide arsenal of choices.

In this way we hope to further the conversation in hardcore ARPGs about how different approaches to combat should feel. This new change forced us as developers to evolve the way we think of the player base and better understand that our systems are a conduit to player expression, not a limitation to it.

Of course the update contains many rebalances, tweaks, and fixes as well.

Be on the lookout for another update before the year is up!

UPDATE 4026675 (Dec 6, 2023)

Since release we’ve been constantly gathering feedback from every front available to us. A noticeable recurring theme has been a somewhat volatile progression experience while surmounting various challenges in the game mostly deriving from a lacking reward system. This update introduces a feature that will provide players with a consistent feedback loop in the form of a traditional leveling system. The previous gear upgrading system has been slightly tweaked to make room for this new change. We’ve been thoroughly testing the player experience with the addition of this new system and the feedback has been extremely positive.

This change will also provide a more intuitive way to grow and surmount challenges as they come your way, while de-prioritizing micromanagement of less obvious resources and mechanics. And finally, with the addition of a levelling system we've even further emphasized the player's ability to build the playstyle that fits them most.
