Countless monsters hid in this strange desert of endless night. Those who once resided here have long since moved; the only ones who now dwell here were the adventurers and a few crazed survivors.

Weâre excited to announce that game update 1.13 has been released on all platforms! Before we dive into the contents of the update, weâd like to take a moment to thank everyone on PC and Xbox for participating in the experimental phase. If youâre interested in a detailed rundown of the changes we made, head on over to the changelog forum posts ({LINK REMOVED}PC, {LINK REMOVED}console). And if you encounter any issues, weâd love it if you let us know on our channels. Feedback tracker Now letâs take a look at whatâs been changed and added!
We are introducing the legendary M16-A2 assault rifle together with its iconic 3 round burst mode. This rifle accepts standard 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition and is compatible with most M4-A1 magazines. Due to the lack of an attachment rail, its customizability options are very limited, which means it is easier to find in the world than the M4-A1 rifle.
We also have some new weapon attachments. The first is a brand new ATOG 6x48 optic which, just like its smaller version, is compatible with any western rifle with an attachment rail. This is going to be a new favorite toy for any Pioneer snipers out there. Next we have two new magazines: a 45 round for KA-74 rifles and an actual 60 round standardized magazine for 5.56x45mm rifles, which replaces the standardized coupled 30 round magazine.
Now letâs talk about the changes to player vs player combat. Weâve changed the way the unconscious state works during firearm combat, making its length dependent on which caliber is used to knock down a target. There were also a number of changes made to player damage zones, which will reduce the chances of a double punishment in the form of falling unconscious and breaking a leg, as well as seemingly invincible arms and shoulders when wearing a ballistic vest. Speaking of vests, we have reduced the strength of police and plate carrier vests. The plate carrier vest is also less durable and all of the ballistic vests have higher repair kit consumption.
We have also further iterated on the infected AI. One of the biggest changes is making the individual infected more distinct in their abilities by adding new types of infected and scaling the infected difficulty with the player's overall progression through the game world. Other changes to the infected AI include:
A stealth approach is now more viable because of increased noise dampening (lesser ability of infected to hear noise through obstacles) and lowered noise from a playerâs crouch sprint.
Infected are now attracted by smoke grenades, flare gun flares, fireplaces, and explosions.
Infected are now more likely to leave the position of unconscious players, thus preventing the frustrating waking up - unconscious loop. All infected attacks are now blockable and overall infected attack speed has been reduced (but not down to 1.11 levels).
And last, but certainly not least, we are introducing the chance for wounds to get infected. This means that from now on, you should always keep an eye on which item is used to treat wounds. Weâve added a new label on the items, displaying their disinfected state, which allows you to quickly recognize which items are safe and which are not. Damaging disinfected items removes the state and requires applying disinfectant again. If a wound gets infected, the infection is spread over two stages. The first can be treated by disinfecting the wound, while the second is more punishing and needs to be treated with antibiotics. The second stage also includes a new fever condition, which is triggered during influenza.
We hope you are going to enjoy this update. We wish you safe adventures and hope youâll listen carefully over the summer because a storm is coming! "Is there anything more frightening than people?" - Svetlana Alexievich

HRO: Adventures of a Humanoid Resources Officer - Worthing & Moncrieff
We were really excited to have HRO included in Steamâs June âNextFestâ promotion and weâre still sifting through the feedback and the observations. Eric and I wanted to thank everyone who downloaded the first demo episode of the game and especially the streamers who played online. Streamers were particularly helpful because it gave us a chance to watch real people play in real time, without our presence being a distraction or skewing the responses. It was a whole âGorillas in the Mistâ thing, except this was more like âStreamers in the Net.â
So what did we learn? Well, we learned a lot about how intuitive and effective the UI and game structure was from watching streamers navigate through the game. Generally, we watch for where players fumble and where they flounder, but we didnât see a lot of that. It looks like the early play testing let us address most of those potential issues already. Which was a big relief. Itâs nerve wracking sitting and watching players wander off the story path and get frustrated because we neglected to connect some dots.
We saw good player engagement with the story and the characters and a wide range of play styles that all seemed to work. Some players tackled the game as more of a mystery to be solved, some as a story to be enjoyed and explored and some as a series of obstacles to be overcome, and everyone seemed to find things to enjoy along the way. All the online streamers also âsucceededâ in completing the first demo episode and would have moved on to episode 02 if that had been available. Yay!
This week we're moving on with content development, music composition, and voice-over casting â which is one of the most fun parts for us. We were both theatre people earlier in our lives so being on this side of the audition table is very exciting for us. Next blog post weâll be talking about PAL (the "Personal Administrative Liaison") and how he helps orient players and move the story along within the branching and converging structure. 'Til then, weâll see you in space!
