Hello Creatifriends,
There’s a couple cool things to talk about with this release. First, as mentioned earlier, this version has no store or mojo, and we’ve removed the ability to skip any timers. They are now part of the game and will no longer be tied to pay to play mechanics. To further ensure this feels like a step forward, we’ve re-balanced all the timers, starting with removing them for the Crafting Station and shortening many of them for the Forge, Processor and Extractor.
And in this release we’re replacing a lot of art with a new style we call Arctek. You saw a smidge of this last time with the new teleporters, but you’ll see it all over the place this time. Stations, beacons, touchstones, and more have been recalibrated with the new style. Let us know what you think!
Here’s all the nitty gritty details you’ll notice in this version…
