Hey there agents!
This week, we're focusing on Silent Echo. The new update will be available in early access in a few days as we are currently finishing the implementation of the planned content.
We're very happy with the state of the new combat system and our testing did not reveal any bugs, so all seems well!
With the upgrade, Ava has received some changes to her abilities to bring her in line with the other members of the cast. She now possess one heavy hitting tentacle attack with a slight cooldown and a lust blast attack as a filler.
She also has brand new animations for both attacks, looking better than ever!
In addition, the combat system rework has allowed us to make her accessible as a party member earlier than it was currently possible. As soon as she completes her level 1 evolution and you visit her Storage Room 1A, you will be able to ask her to join your squad to assist you in Chapter 1.
With this change, she will be a powerful ally for those who chose to invest in her evolution early in the game.
As the chapter was not initially designed for this, there is some new alternative locational content to account for having her with you.
The patch also comes with new encounters, including a double drone combat encounter, showcasing the new capabilities of the upgraded combat system.
These encounters come with their own set of new sex scenes (and the first threesome :o), with different scenes for losing or winning the encounters. In addition, a brand new enemy type is waiting for you: slimes!
Content wise, there is a new special encounter in Storage Room 2A unlocking a new character and storyline to follow, with an interesting twist if your body reaches corruption level 2 before you head for the communication building.
We've spent some time fixing bugs and a few visual anomalies that existed and we have made some changes specifically for tablet and mobile users to try to make the experience more bearable on these devices.
In addition, the soundtrack has received changes and now has twice as many tracks for the general ambient. The sex scenes have also received new tracks that are a bit more neutral and should fit better with the overall tone of the game.
We've also implemented a new setting option called "Enable numeric values". Activating this option will cause statistics such as health and armor to be shown as values instead of percentages.
Overall we're pretty excited for this update and your feedback on it.
We have more in store for Chapter 1 and the next update will be focused on adding all of the missing content we want to add before we move on to Chapter 2.
Have fun out there!
