- Archangel Announcements Sept. - Oct. 2019 - 2 October 2019
This Archangel Announcement covers the updates we've released in preview since last September, and upcoming updates in October. _________________________________________________ MISSION MODE UPDATES Our development in Mission Mode continues. As we have completed the base mechanics and systems, we are focusing on the end-game content. Mission Mode Update : Faction Paragon Missions and Main Route Special Missions Each of the factions have a penultimate prestige rank called 'Paragon' which represents the highest respect and trust from that faction. While you can earn prestige by doing normal missions, the final level of Paragon is locked until you complete a final mission for that faction, called a Paragon Mission. These are meant to be challenging missions and may require upgraded equipment (and retries). As discussed previously in the August issue, these final missions are 'special missi…

Our sincerest apologies for the absence of last month's Archangel Announcements. This issue should cover the updates from last month as well. _________________________________________________ MISSION MODE UPDATES For the past month, our efforts were focused on the development of the new Baja Secunda campaign. We've given players access to the procedural missions, the faction system and the shop upgrades. Even now, two possible 'neutral' endings can be (and have been) achieved by our players. There have been several updates since then, and they can be seen below. Mission Mode Update : Weapon Upgrades All weapons in missions mode should now have two levels of visual upgrades, save for the premiums which can only be unlocked by achieving officership in a faction. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F31962666%2Fe398a41a2a90eb8c16e900510164f19acae9edf6.png Upgrade…

This is the massive public update with the features outlined in the March 2019 issue of Archangel Announcements. This includes the major February Balance Patch and changes to Overload, the new Vajra Weapon, and the new lockon system and flight mechanics. Since a general outline for the new features and changes will be redundant, we suggest reading the original post here : https://steamcommunity.com/gid/103582791461484074/announcements/detail/1797406065558513827 This post will, however, include the lengthy changelog of all changes from previous preview builds up until this release. 0.19.10 CHANGELOG Balance Changes : - Base Dodge cost decreased to 150 from 200. - Burning status DoT increased up to 30 damage. - Missile lifetimes to compensate for previous timer changes. - Missile speeds to compensate for previous timer changes. - LIBERATOR : Primary Fire tracking behavior now similar to A…
- ARCHANGEL ANNOUNCEMENTS MARCH 2019 - 15 March 2019
This is the Archangel Announcements post for March! Here we will discuss the features for the next major public update for the month! Most of these features are already present in the latest iteration of our experimental preview build! Check out this thread to see how you can get in on the action! _________________________________________________ New Feature : Soft Lock A new function called 'Soft Lock' has been completed in preparation of the coming single-player mission modes. It was meant to address issues with the default game camera and lock-on system's limitations when fighting multiple opponents. For the purposes of the game, the old system will be called 'Hard Lock' and this new system will be called 'Soft Lock' as they both exist as different targeting modes. Soft Lock allows the player to utilize the right directional stick or mouse to move the camera while maintaining a lock…
- FEBRUARY PRE-BALANCE PATCH - UPDATE 0.18.5 - 11 February 2019
Thanks for joining us in 2019. Here are the new internal system updates before we move into balance patches at the end of February. Movement System Updates With the update to the boost system and with the various mobility options now present in the game, we've upped the multiplier modifier for backward and sideward movement, which had been previously clamped at 50% and 75% respectively. They now both operate at 80% of forward movement speed, giving a higher overall sense of mobility for all. In addition, held weapons such as machineguns, missiles and other rapid fire weapons, now disable gravity while in use. The exception to this rule are shields. While held, these rapid weapons do not allow for boost regeneration. Shields on the other hand, allow for both stability and boost regeneration. Boost System (Experimental): Flight Mode We introduced a new boost movement system while unlocked…

In this game mode, the player takes the role of a mercenary on the war-torn planet of Baja Secunda. Various factions and corporations have taken an interest in the conflict, and pursue their agenda in the many battlefields. Central to that single-player campaign is a procedural mission generation system. Each 'turn', the diffe…
