Update 0.107
Yesterday we had our initial launch of Neon Exile into Early Access on Steam and received a lot of great feedback from players via Discord and in-game voice chat. It was really fun meeting players "in-person" in VR and showing them around the game.
We have created a brief help page that outlines the goals of the game as many players were confused about what to do in the Fringe Sector. https://www.neonexile.com/help.html
Today we released v0.107 which addresses some of the main concerns with a few quick fixes. This doesn't cover everything and not every change is final, but mostly things we could add quickly to get the update out .
Full details for the updated items are up on our Development Roadmap:

Inventory remains when you die
Added a healing zone to each spawn point
