NEW FEATURES & IMPROVEMENTS
Koby Tutorial Overhaul: Improved Koby’s shooting and tools introduction for a more intuitive learning curve.

Increased Koby Stun Damage: Koby’s standard shots now apply more stun in Story and Standard difficulties.

Time Overclock Expansion: Can now be used during Koby Flight sequences.

Aerial Aiming: Aiming and slow-time aiming are now available while double-jumping.

Tool Wheel Reordering: Koby’s tool selection wheel now mirrors the order found in the skill menu for better consistency.

Accessibility Option: New setting to disable the Low Health Red Frame effect.

Creating video games is becoming increasingly difficult, as it is obtaining the support of an ever more demanding and, in some cases, toxic audience. The user who left us this feedback has been very active on the STEEL SEED page throughout its journey, providing us with useful insights, criticizing when something didn’t convince him, and exploring every component of the game. He has given us the pleasure of interacting with a player capable of getting emotionally invested in the game, making us proud of the work done, which, incidentally, is still improving!
