P.A.M.E.L.A. – Early-Access-Update bringt Nirvana-Gebiet und überarbeitet das Herstellungssystem

Nach längerer Update-Pause ist P.A.M.E.L.A. mit dem großen Early-Access-Update 0.3.0.1 versorgt worden. Das „Nirvana Update“ fügt ein neues Gebiet unterhalb der Oberfläche von Eden hinzu. Außerdem wurde das Herstellungssystem komplett überarbeitet – weniger Komponenten sind fortan erforderlich. Zudem wurde die Anzahl der Sammelobjekte reduziert. Man soll nun mehr Gegenstände als Beute von Gegnern erhalten oder in der Umgebung finden.

Das große Feature „Level Streaming“ ist in diesem Update nicht enthalten, da die NVYVE Studios einen Bug bei der Unity-Engine entdeckt hatten und dieses Problem erst mit den Engine-Entwicklern behoben werden muss. In nächster Zeit sollen eine weitere Waffe, mehr Fähigkeiten von P.A.M.E.L.A., Story-Inhalte, mehr Gegner und neue Umgebungen eingebaut werden.
