Hello, crew members!

It's update time for our demo! This update focuses on balancing, ease of use, and design improvements.



1. Virtualize Stamina
We’ve redesigned how turrets are used. "Virtualize Time" has been replaced with Virtualize Stamina, a new system and UI that surrounds turrets instead of being displayed on the control panel screen.

Key changes:
- Players can now take damage while controlling turrets instead of being teleported back after one hit
- Damage is subtracted from Virtualize Stamina rather than instantly ejecting the player
- This allows for more turret use and reduces unwanted teleportation across the screen
- More UI elements to improve awareness



2. Improved Agent Movement
We’ve adjusted how agents position themselves in battle, making hacking and melee attacks easier.

3. Character Ability Fixes & Improvements
AIO
- enemies shoot after a delay when Invisibility stops or pauses
Nero
- Virus can control multiple turrets at once, and works alongside Harra agent
- improved turret shield functionality
Tina
- fixed critical hits skill upgrade
Vex
- bigger acid bombs with increased orbital speed and range
Lora
- increased range for Time Warp and skill upgrade

Thanks for playing and Happy Hacking!
