Patch 1.10:

Patch 1.10 is a 20XX content patch! It's slated for release in November.

We've desgined a bunch of new Augs – thanks for your awesome suggestions! We're currently looking at 10 new Augs for 1.10, split between Once Per Run Augs, Prototypes, and standard stackable Augs, all aimed at giving you variable gameplay full of interesting decisions. We've also taken a balancing pass at a few existing Augs.

Thanks to your feedback, we've identified a few places that 20XX's level designs have room for improvement. 1.10 will contain a slew of new level pieces, as well as passes on existing pieces. (We'd still love to have an awesome, fully functional level editor - getting it right is not feasible in the short term, and we're still figuring out exactly what it'll take to accomplish.)

We've made a sweeping overhaul of a few of 20XX's under-the-hood systems, aimed at polishing the game's renderer. (We haven't touched the game's controls.) If you've ever had performance issues in 20XX, we'd love to hear what you think of 1.10! We've also made text drawing clearer, and resolved a few lingering text wrapping issues.

We've also added some new visual effects to game elements we decided could use a little more eye-spice!

As with every patch, 1.10 also brings with it a slew of bugfixes. To make sure it's the best it can be, it'll be coming to our Superfriends pals before it goes live.

Have a fantastic Halloween! Thanks for reading.

(PS: 20XX will not be celebrating Halloween. Part of Patch 1.10 is debatably spooky, but it won't hit until next month.)

(PPS: there may be more surviving Contractors than the Board initially recognized. Be ready for a challenge.)
