Great update! At first, I thought the improvement in the flashlight hadn't been enough, but when it was night in the middle of the forest, the improvement was noticeable.
I liked the new menu, but it bothers me that the ESC doesn't close and there isn't an option to change the graphics settings within the game.
And something I noticed is that the “Sample Collector” remains on the floor when changing scenes, is this intentional?
Hey @Daavy,
Thank you for your valuable feedback!
We've carefully balanced the flashlight's functionality to maintain immersion while enhancing its usefulness. You'll notice an improvement in visibility at further distances, although the intensity of the light has been moderately adjusted.
Regarding the pause menu, we've already taken into consideration your suggestions and similar changes. These are likely to be implemented in the upcoming update.
Additionally, the modification to the Sample Collector was indeed intentional. It's designed to facilitate navigation towards the crater at night.
- dlks.
