You speak, we listen. That's how this whole affair works. Viva la Indie Gaming!
We've addressed the game's starting difficulty when starting a new game from scratch with a couple of additions, as well as addressing a few other aspects of gameplay:
<*>Given new players a slight stat and level increase over the original settings
<*>Given new players a 'Home Gem' regardless of their plotline, allowing them to return to a point of safety when in trouble
<*>All new players also start with a 'Grindhouse Gem' which allows them to train their party up, collect useful items and gear before continuing with the main story (this includes those transferring saves from Initiation, allowing you to retain access to the dungeon in Corruption)
<*>Fixed an issue with voice files layering when the player skips dialogue
<*>All teleport items now work without having to select a target
Hopefully, you find the new changes to your taste. As always, we're all ears to hear your thoughts and suggestions to make Corruption the most enjoyable experience possible!

Achievements and Reboot News!
Achievements The community have asked, and we have provided! Many of the achievements found within the game itself correspond to our Steam achievements.
Save files are backwards-compatible with Steam achievements, so please be prepared to be bombarded with awards upon re-entering the game!
It is also worth noting that Corruption shares many of Initiation's achievements. So, when you import your 'finished' save file into Corruption, you will automatically be awarded many of the available achievements! But worry not, there are yet more to obtain...
Reboot The third title in the series features an overhauled side-view battle system, pixel movement, hand-painted environments and an entirely new cast of characters. We're also making a point to increase our focus on a more intensive narrative including detailed backstories.
Our news? As our reputation and rapport with Valve continues to increase, we have been granted a free credit to release Data Hacker: Reboot without a Greenlight campaign!
Thank you all so much for your support. Continued support from the community allows us to continue to improve our titles, as demonstrated in Reboot. If you haven't done so already, you can check the game out on our Official Website
Achievements Incoming!
Some of you may have noticed that there are now a series of achievements on Steam, most of which correspond to a particular in-game achievement.
This has caused us some major head-scratching, but we got there in the end. Many of you have requested Achievements, so we made the effort to implement them.
One major feature of the Data Hacker series, as you know, is the ability to continue your save file.
Since you'll have already completed many of the game's achievements before moving on to Corruption, you'll automatically activate many of Corruption's Steam achievements when loading your completed Initiation save file!
At the moment, we're thoroughly testing to ensure that they're working as anticipated. Stay tuned!
