This hotfix delivers critical stability improvements, visual updates, and performance optimizations across multiple systems and environments.
Gameplay & Networking
Fixed a timing issue causing weapon spawning errors when clients and hosts loaded in simultaneously. Weapon initialization now occurs after possession for consistent synchronization.
Network operations have been moved to a dedicated thread to improve multiplayer responsiveness.
Updated DefaultEngine network configurations by removing outdated legacy settings and aligning with modern Steam Socket and Advanced Steam Sessions features for improved connectivity and efficiency.
Environment Fixes
Corrected rock collision on Sandridge Isle (formerly “Woods”).
Fixed floating antenna issue on Taraq Outpost (formerly “Sandstorm”).
Visual & Performance Updates
Added God Rays and Sun Occlusion to all relevant levels, tuned individually for atmosphere and realism.
Optimized global shadow settings for outdoor performance and visual clarity.
Shadow Optimization Summary (Performance-Focused Outdoor Update):
Reduced Dynamic Shadow Distance to 10,000–15,000 for better GPU performance.
Lowered Shadow Cascade Count to 3 for a balance between quality and speed.
Slightly increased Transition and Fadeout Fractions for smoother blending.
Reduced Far Shadow Cascades to cut distant rendering costs.
Tuned Distance Field Shadow Distance to 30,000–40,000 for efficient soft shadows.
Adjusted Trace Distance and Ray Offset for stability and artifact-free results.
Maintained Inset Shadows on movable objects to preserve close-up detail on foliage and rocks.
Overall: These changes improve frame rate stability and shadow quality in bright outdoor environments with moderate foliage coverage.
Closing Notes
Hotfix 0.6.0a enhances both visual fidelity and multiplayer reliability — preparing Operation Athena for upcoming large-scale updates.

Camera now zooms out based on speed for better visibility and a stronger sense of motion
Improved jump consistency across different situations
UI & Controls
Improved menu controller navigation for smoother input
General UI improvements and polish
Audio & Performance
Adjusted sound levels for better balance
Reduced demo size through asset optimizations
Thanks for playing the demo!
If you have any feedback, let me know!
-Lucas
lowered the scroll sensitivity for several scrollable windows, because they were way too high after the unity update
improved memory handling and garbage collection
This update is mainly to include the last two characters, Ran and Chen. They are now available to try out and have the following changes made to them.
Projectile
Two extra denser rings of danmaku can be emitted when the star explodes at full size.
The ball will now explode the star when it touches it.
Bomb
Projectile collection now lasts twice as long as before. This means that you will have more time to decide when to activate it or to collect more projectiles.
When Ran starts dispensing, she no longer collects any further projectiles.
Ball no longer cancels the dispersion but activates it.
You now get two points per projectile collected rather than one. This means that the dispersion now lasts longer than before.
Bomb
You can now shoot while using bomb but letting go of the button will unleash the built up projectiles.
Desperation
You can now hit the ball.
The Demo can now be played in Japanese as well as English!
Please change the language settings to Japanese from the options menu if you would like to play in Japanese.
