Update 0.6.3.0 — Changes to the lightning system
Attention! This message is for all employees of the corporation and volunteers. This is not a training, read the information below.
We have information about a powerful anomaly storm on Ansora island. Here is the result of this disaster:
1) Sky over the island has changed. Days became brighter and nights are much darker now, use your flashlights (We have added a new lightning system, and this is the first version. We need your feedback to make it better and more enjoyable for players).
2) Several hunters reported that there is a new creature on the island called sapsy. It is a carnivore, but you can make a healing substance from its body parts.
3) Volunteers encounter much more creatures in the northern part of the island, be careful out there.
4) Some reports contain information about new recipes for food and drinks which can be used by volunteers (10 drinks and meals).
5) The storm influenced madmen. Now they can go berserk more often. While in this state they become stronger and more dangerous (you can't take them down with one hit).
Based on the information in this message we ask you to be vigilant and more careful.
New Light is new future!
