Official update history
In this update, we've updated and brought back the Airstrafer Base intro due to popular demand! I didn't know people actually liked it that much and I'm happy to bring it back.

The Island
Abandoned by your past, fate lands you on a kind merchant's doorstep. The next chapter of your story as a shopkeeper begins today!
The intended start for most players.
Drops you straight into the open world.
Airstrafer Base
You've decided to leave your old life behind and sign up to be an Airstrafer Base Shopkeeper. Adventure awaits on your first day of training!
An alternative start for those who embrace chaos!
Includes a modern training area and some story exposition.
Both starts are canonical.
We've been listening to all your great feedback so far. For more information, visit this previous post on "The Immersive Update Feedback"!
Many More Improvements Based on Feedback
Here are just a few examples of what we've done:
Clearer Item Slot Visuals
For example, some players said that the item slot background was too hard to see so we've updated the inventory to be easier to see.

Crisper Gameplay Visuals
We've also further adjusted the visuals to be a lot more crisp like the legacy build instead of being smudgy.
You can go further and turn off Post Processing in the Visuals settings if you'd like as well.

More Build Variety
Item attribute requirements are also rebalanced a bit to allow for more diverse builds.
No More Repair Costs
Repairing items with a Repair Hammer or Anvil doesn't require a higher player level to repair anymore, since our new player stat attribute system has some pretty fun progression already.
Increased Gameplay Speed
We've increased the gameplay speed to match the previous legacy experience more.
And Much More!
There's lots more that we've fixed/tweaked, with some performance improvements and multiplayer stability updates. We're still working on this.
New Gameplay Trailer
Here's a new gameplay trailer that should help newer players get into Saleblazers!
We've also updated the Steam store screenshots to reflect all of our fresh new tweaks.

Give Us More Feedback!
The new update first and foremost is a gameplay update with tons of new systems for you to explore, so I hope this makes the experience smooth enough for people to enjoy the new update.
There are some things like people being upset that using mops caused cops to arrest you. This is not intentional, so please let us know if something like that happens on the Steam forums or the in-game bug report system.
For those who strongly prefer the legacy version still - please let me know what you're missing by creating a thread in the Steam forums and we'll consider it. At this point, most of the known feedback should be resolved.
What's Next?
We will be focusing completely on performance, bug fixes, and optimization along with any tweaks that are necessary.
Thanks for reading!
