Version 0.5.24:7221

The NEW update is here! It has many changes, fixes and lots of improvements to the earlier levels. Also check out the new late-game levels we have added!

Notable things in this update:

• The Main Menu has been revamped! Check it out, tell us what you think!

• New "Featured Level" option in the main menu. This allows you to jump right into the action of late-game levels. This will only be available during Early Access with the purpose to get more feedback of the latter levels in the story.

• Three new levels are now available! these come after the finishing up the Yant'shaza chapters. You will find a BIG surprise in here.

• We have improved and changed lots of things on the first few levels, including the tutorial. Can you see the difference? Do you think it is better?

• We have improved the short-range combat by combining MASS TK with TK Shockwave, also now pressing the LMB will create a TK PUSH.

• More things to pick up from the environment! Tear dry tree branches or use Sarahul swords and bows as throwable weapons!

• And many many small fixes for quests that were not working under certain circumstances.

ATTENTION

Do not start a level with a saved file, so many changes have been made to the game that starting a saved file could cause problems during play. We recommend playing any of the levels from start.

Here's the complete changelog.
