General Update #22

Hello Agents!

What a week it has been already! We're super excited to welcome all of the new supporters that have joined us with the release of Silent Echo v0.2.0.

The feedback that you have all provided already has been of great help, and we are now already at work on Chapter 2's first content update, which is already shaping up to be quite something!

The next patch has a heavy focus on companions, which is one of the areas that the initial update has not touched too much. Over the course of the next patreon updates, we'll talk about what's coming for the different companions you can find in the game, such as Lina, Ava, Emilia, Victoria and even Sylvia.

Who knows, perhaps something will also happen with our resident vending machine, Gwen?

A choice for Lina

In the next update, Lina is about to receive a lot of dev love. We already spoke about our desire to provide upgrades and evolutions for other companions beside Ava, and we're finally getting there.

The various labs of the communications building have a lot of interesting prototypes laying around. One of them is this strange, catgirl-like suit you've been able to stumble upon in the prototype lab.

For Lina, we have imagined two upgrade paths. One of them is this catgirl/sexbot prototype, and the other is a slightly different variant of the AM-37 mecha, granting our flying lunchbox unpredecented power of destruction.

We also understand some players really love our flying lunchbox and rather keep her that way. A third upgrade path keeps her as the current recon drone, but with improved combat capabilities and a new skill.

In total, you will be presented with three potential upgrade paths for Lina after you have acquired the materials needed to perform it, and each of them will have their own consequences and exclusive content.

Once the choice is made, there will be no turning back!

Christmas Event

We are still in very early design phase for this event, but as we've missed Halloween due to timing (and I really wanted to do that one :(), I wanted to take a moment to already let you know that we're adding a christmas event in the next update as we're quite confident in our ability to release the patch before the holidays.

It's shaping up to be quite the experience already, with all of your companions ready to engage in holiday shenanigans, and even some... unexpected guests?

Final Word

Next week we will give you more details on the contents of the update, including an interesting new customisation system that will also benefit Male Agent 36, which is a feature many of you have been asking for.

Have fun!
