Sky Break Update v0.2.1
We wanted to add more life and variety to the enemies, so we decided to completely update them to keep a mechanical aspect but with an animal look and feel. The AI has been completely re-written to match with an animal behavior. For instance, one has an energy battery that provides enough energy to create a shied in the storm and protect you. It is also possible to tame those drones. They will then follow you and protect you if you are under attack. Two drones have been created for this update. More will come along with each update.
We decided to make important changes to improve the tempest gameplay. First, no more random events hitting directly the player. Lightnings, ripped off trunks and tornadoes are biome related and occur all over the world. They are easier to avoid. No more oxygen! Indeed this is a big decision, but we felt that something was wrong with this gameplay system, and decided to remove the oxygen and the heartbeat. Instead we introduced the tempest shield, which protects you from continuous damage in the storm. So time is limited in the tempest, but once in a calm area you are safe. Because of these changes, we improved the UI to work better with this system. There are also less equipment slots for a more convenient item selection.
New features

Humanity is threatened. A deadly virus awoke, and it is spreading quickly.
The particular flora of Arcania, a planet used to prepare humans for space colonization, may help in the creation of a cure. But it is now abandoned since working mechas turned against humans.
A group of researchers is sent to this planet to find a solution. You are one of them.
But as you arrived, your spaceship crashed…
Your best chance of survival is to hack some of those mechas and use them as allies to defeat the others.
Your character can also improve its capabilities.
You will be able to activate old installations used to ionize the air and stop the tempest within an area. And thankfully an old station above the clouds, left over by humans, provides good shelter.
It is impossible to land within the tempest, but once you have unlocked some weather controllers, you will be able to travel quickly over the map and save a lot of time.
You can also decide to create a greenhouse directly inside your station if you want to grow and farm plants by yourself.
