Active players are rewarded with bonus Time Cubes based on their timeline difficulty. When you Time Warp click on the Timeline Settings button and choose from:

• No Hover Bike - must enabled to select other options
  
• No Healing Stations - can't heal at respawn points
  
• Permadeath - automatically Time Warp when you die
  
• No Progress in Ghost Mode - no gold or wave progression when in ghost mode

To balance out early game players being carried too far, there is now a maximum amount of Time Cubes you can carry before becoming over encumbered, which slows down movement. Carry capacity can be increased through Time Cube Research.


Another highly requested feature, when cruising in your Hover Bike press the Jump key to toggle the Free Roam Camera. Move around using your Mouse and WASD/arrow keys. The camera automatically re-docks to the Hover Bike when the Zone is complete, disabling free roam until you've entered the next zone.

The next Friday Update will be on January 25, in the meantime continue to share your suggestions & feedback on the Steam Forums & our Discord.

We've made a few updates to Chat. It's now scrollable, increased history to display the past 20 messages, and changed the font to Roboto.



Big Bosses now drop gold after you do 25%, 50%, 75% & 100% damage.

One of our most requested features was to be able to spawn a regular wave of enemies by pressing E, you now have the choice of either going into Ghost Mode or pressing the Spawn Horde/Boss/Wave key.

The next Friday Update will be on January 11, in the meantime continue to share your suggestions & feedback on the Steam Forums & our Discord.

Now when there are multiple Hover Bikes in a zone they will merge creating a Convoy snake. The Convoy snake is sorted based on DPS with the highest Total DPS pushing from the back.



If a weapon's DPS is e5 lower than Zone HP (would take 24 hours to beat the zone) that weapon's projectiles won't be displayed over the network (still visible locally), increasing multiplayer performance.



The Lock to Convoy button will keep you with the convoy until everyone has completed the zone. We've also updated the Convoy Widget to display Total DPS & Percentage of Convoy DPS.

The next Friday Update will be on December 28, in the meantime continue to share your suggestions & feedback on the Steam Forums & our Discord.

This sprint was all about performance optimizations. Our main focus was on implementing Unity's experimental ECS technology, which is designed to take advantage of multicore processors, high performance code & optimized memory layouts.

Some ways we've been able to take advantage of this new system are:

• More projectiles & gold pickups with even better performance
  
• Consumes less memory with significantly fewer lag spikes
  
• Faster streaming of Zone details (like border lights)

This was a top request from a lot of players, so let us know what you think of the performance improvements.

The next Friday Update will be on December 14, in the meantime continue to share your suggestions & feedback on the Steam Forums & our Discord.

This is our first Friday Update since releasing into Early Access. It's been a great 2 weeks with some new records (135 players in the Public World) and a lot of great feedback from the community which helped shape this update.



To balance out Time Cubes gains, Blue Butterflies are now spread across all the Horde zones instead of all of them being in the end of planet zone.

A multiplier is added for every deposited Blue Butterfly, so the more you collect the higher the multiplier goes. This way you'll still get benefits from earlier collected butterflies as you progress through the game.



In addition to the current Time Attack widget, we've added a couple of new widgets.

The Convoy Widget displays the number of players & their icons that are in your zone as well as the zones in front & behind you. The red or blue line below the players icons show whether or not they've completed the zone.



The Time Cube Widget allows you to compare the Time Cube stats for your current timeline against your all time best stats.

We did experience some server stability issues for the first few days after release. We have identified & fixed the issues so the Public World should continue to be stable.

The next Friday Update will be on November 30, in the meantime continue to share your feedback & suggestions on the Steam Forums & our Discord
