Hey space cadets, I got the latest word from the Thyrian universe. The Hyperspace Alpha intro scene is all animated together, and it's on to Draconia. I've spent most of my time this past week testing the game, as we've been tweaking the balance of things in response to feedback dealing with accessibility and pace of progress. With all the balancing changes the game is much easier to get into and progress faster. Even for a pro player like me, I find the tweaks make it much more enjoyable. It's really satisfying to get those S ranks right from the get go. I don't mean to brag, but look at the progress of my Nova system after 3 hours of game time, not to mention I've already taken down the last boss on rookie! For the record, I have cleared every target on every difficulty setting before, but I have not achieved S rank and the special unharmed target on every mission yet. Will be tough but should be doable.

In addition to balancing tweaks, we're working on integrating a tutorial and more explanation of the game's systems in the intro. Tutorials can really be a drag so we're doing our best to make it fun, and succinct.

It's all coming together.
