Patch 1.0.1 — Ignited Steel: Mech Tactics News

Weekend patch with several of your suggestions, a few bug fixes and stability improvements, some quality-of-life enhancements, and balancing.

Thanks for playing the game! Expect more improvements in a few more patches next week. Especially balance-wise. We are preparing a batch of changes that will make the game a little harder, but also a little bit more fair. We are aiming for the game to be a bit more demanding at the baseline, and at the same time polishing off some of the difficulty highs and lows, as we feel it's a little too "spiky" right now.

Anyways, please keep those suggestions coming. Some of you will recognize changes in this patch that you have proposed yourself!

Time for a good weekend's rest! Boy do we need it. We'll be fresh back on Monday to continue working on the game!

Have a nice weekend everyone!
