Recently, the authors of the extraction shooter The Forever Winter introduced update 0.9.3.0 with story content and various improvements.
They have prepared a new FTUE training system:
This system guides newcomers through all the mechanics of The Forever Winter without separating them from the community if they are in a squad with veteran players. We hope this will be another important step towards lowering the barrier to entry into the game. If you're an expert, don't worry — you won't even notice this system.
The developers also introduced story content for the late game, made changes to the economy, and improved sound effects.
In addition, the update affected the thief (marauder) invasion system:
- Now the invasion will be triggered randomly.
- Players will have a choice: fight off the invasion or buy it off (give the thieves water so they leave peacefully)
- The difficulty of the battle (if the player decides to defend) now depends on the amount of water accumulated. The more water, the stronger the thieves will be.
- If the thieves win, they can take all the water with them; take some of the credits; take some items from the inventory.
