Whats more, every 2 weeks we are planning AMA sessions for you! If you have any questions about the game, save it and ask it during this Q & A sessions. Starting on the 16th of April on Helibornes Discord channel. At the first fire goes Roman, Game Designer of Heliborne! Furthermore, during the recent AMA session in January, you asked how are we going to increase the number of players in the game. We told you that we are planning loads of actions and promos in the game. And the time has come! We would like to invite all of you to join us during first-ever Steam Free Weekend for Heliborne! During this weekend all Steam users will be able to download the game and play with you! We are planning loads of activities both for new players and veterans.

First one - 14th of April on Heliborne Steam card. This time, we will be playing some PvE missions :) And now, the main thing! Update on Heliborne: Enhanced Edition works and development! 1. Improved multiplayer engine and a matchmaking system In our survey form, in which we asked you to let us know about the most anticipated changes and improvements, many among you mentioned multiplayer engine update in the first place. We decided to focus on this feature Whats more, we decided to add matchmaking to make PvP even more competitive. In our plans there is also a new rank system, but we will confirm it in more details later. 2. Moved the game to a newer version of the engine (new Unity) Upgrade for new Unity engine is mostly required to port the game for consoles. Thats the main advantage of this point development-wise, but lets not forget that the game obviously looks much better already thanks to this change. 3. A new UI project has been created - we are currently implementing it Some of you reported that UI is good enough, but many stressed the fact that we should modernize it a bit as it is already visually outdated. Sooo We made it more clear readable. You will be able to see the results of our work on our Facebook and VK pages this Saturday on #ScreenshotSaturday! 4. Optimization of existing maps, change of lighting system and post-processes - ongoing Heliborne has never been a challenging game for your PCs, but we received reports, that in some areas your FPS drops. Thats why we decided to check all maps and polish them. On some, we changed the lighting system. With those changes and new UI Enhanced Edition will look gorgeous! Hope you will like this kind of messages and see you on stream! Over and out!
