Hello vikings!

Hope you’re doing good!
Today we bring you a news post.

Valhalla DLC (Valhalla being its code name, we don’t have a final title yet) will be featuring a tower with many many floors in which you will face a variety of challenges.

Corruption will reign during your journey, so you must pay attention to the corruption-meter. The more corruption, the more powerful enemies will be.

You will face the tower bare handed, no Yggdrasil this time. But no worries, as the tower itself will grant you its powers and will allow you to be infused with its corrupted energy, so you become stronger. But beware, if more corruption enters your soul, more hazards will surround you too.

Here you have some of the mockups:



Next week we will be hosting Chinese Lunar Event, starting on the 28th, with a new character skin, Muspelheim decorations and enemy costumes so you can enjoy it to the fullest.

Here’s a sneak peek of the skin:


Wish you a nice week!
Cheers!

I am excited to announce that Escape Z is about to reach a major milestone. With the next update, the game will officially exit from Early Access, an event scheduled for 2025.

After months of development, I am ready to launch the full version of the game. This update will introduce new features, improvements and extra content to provide an even more polished and immersive experience.

With the official release, the price of the game will be tweaked slightly to reflect the work done and content added. Those who have already purchased the game will continue to receive all future updates at no additional cost.

Thank you for supporting Escape Z throughout the Early Access journey. I look forward to sharing with you all the new features that will come with the next update! 🚀

The game’s physics-based building mechanic challenges you to consider real-world construction aspects when building your intricate multi-level city in all three dimensions.





Besides building and maintaining the city, you will also manage a colony of survivors. As their leader, navigate the wants and needs of several factions – Engineers, Sailors, and Workers – each with its own unique traits.

[h5][color=#33FFDD]Greetings, esteemed colleagues![/color][/h5]

Dark Energy - Abiotic Factor’s next major update - is as close as it has ever been and creeping ever closer as you read this sneak peek of things to come on February 4th.

Let’s focus our Dark Lens, shall we?

The plants have been well-cared for in Power Services. You could stay here as long as you’d like. You might even feel compelled to. But what of the chaos in the center?


The settlement here is almost as extraordinary as the nearby singularity.


Further below lies a sprawling sector, each region connected via its own internal tram line. Unfortunately, several systems have been rendered inoperable due to the current security breach, and scientists may find themselves running for cover in this radioactive warzone.



Scattered among the myriad halls of the Cascade Atomic Division, more volatile foes - and perhaps even friends - will attempt to halt your descent. They aren’t called Gatekeepers for nothing.



Little can be said of this destination. It’s entirely classified, and even if it weren’t, you would surely go mad thinking about it over the next couple of weeks.



Along with the new advent of an old friend - that is, a traveling trader- older existing traders, like Warren or the Blacksmith will now be directly interactable for trade. No more dropping items into machines nearby! At least not those machines. Nearby those traders…


Speaking of dropping things into machines, you’ll find a new pathway to cleansing Infected Corn of its contamination.


Some things require no introduction.



Along with dazzling new explosives, scientists will be able to craft a plethora of new, throwable “grenades” to fling at unsuspecting foes. They will not expect this one, we assure you.



There will be a few new ammo types for some of the weapons that have fallen out of style. And for some weapons which are not yet introduced.


We’re doing a lot more than what’s laid out here - wouldn’t want to spoil it all, would we? - but we do want to show off a little feature we’ve been tinkering with, which is the ability to unlock and set your own preferred background scene in the Main Menu. These will largely be tied to Sector Progression achievements for the time being, but we’re planning to add a whole lot more in the future.

from lsimmons@cascade.internal.gate
We can't get down there, but every instrument here just peaked for about 30 seconds. Like something HUGE just came through.

I can't read the data too clearly, but it maps to signatures from 299? Whatever it was, it was bigger than anything I've ever seen. There's rumbling, like something's moving down there, but we can't get close.

Thanks for enjoying this second sneak peak with us and thanks as always for submitting your bugs through the in-game bug report form link!

Thank you for all your work in the GATE Cascade Research Facility!
