[img]https://i.imgur.com/X5EX6xc.gif[/img] [h1][b]Hi, Mercs and Aliens, [/b][/h1] Just wanted to remind you all that the [b]10% launch discount[/b] is ending tomorrow at [b]19:00 CET / 10 am PT / 1 pm ET[/b]. Make sure to pick the game up before then: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1456940/Level_Zero_Extraction/ DLC and Deluxe/Ultimate editions are also discounted. [hr][/hr] Since the Early Access launch, we've put out a couple of patches that addressed outstanding issues and were meant to improve critical aspects of LZE, ranging from balance and economy to movement to UI. [b]Let's go over the most significant changes/additions so far:[/b] [list] [*]Numerous balance changes for both classes based on player feedback and data. We are grateful to you for sharing your thoughts with us. [*]Merc movement Improvements [*]Max stash size increased [*]General environment fixes: Improved camera shake and sound feedback [*]Bug and crash fixes [*]New weapons available for barter & purchase from traders: M4F1, RD-707, Malyuk [*]New cosmetic skins [*]We've held two weekend REP events where you could search for a unique item. We're set to organize those every weekend. [/list] [b]Now, let's talk about our development plans for the near future, specifically—for the next few weeks:[/b] [list] [*] Introduction of a [b]separate mode explicitly designed for solo players[/b]. This mode will allow them to participate in matches without competing against teams, providing a more balanced and fair experience. [*] Introduction of a [b]reward system for mercenaries[/b] for eliminating aliens in the game. [*] Introduction of [b]Mutations[/b] for aliens, allowing them to adapt to different situations in the game. [*] [b]Ability to select the desired region for matchmaking[/b] to minimize latency and improve connection quality. [*] [b]Review and adjustment of melee weapon characteristics[/b] to improve game balance. [*] [b]Special rewards for solo players[/b] participating in trio mode. [*] Introduction of changes and additions to[b] make it easier for new players to get into the game[/b]. [*] [b]Improving the anti-cheat[/b] and anti-fraud system. [*] An [b]update for the item switching system[/b] in the game to make it smoother and more responsive. Players often seem to encounter issues where switching weapons or using items feels "clunky" (awkward, delayed), which can detract from the experience. We're inclined to address that. [/list] Last but not least, work on our third map, [b]Space Station[/b], is in full swing. It is planned to be bigger than the two current maps—Research Facility and Caves of Turion—and to feature more open space areas. Here are more WIP screen grabs of the level.
