Developer Jason Posted November 7, 2014 Developer Share Posted November 7, 2014 Click here to download the full 1920 x 1080 image! There is a bunch of stuff in this update. Where should we begin.. Let's start with the Rewind feature. We really like the tension Invisible, Inc. can create. Even though it's turn based, lots of people have expressed feeling pressured for time. We really want to keep that, it's one of my favorite aspects of the game. At the same time, many matches have been spoiled for people because of its low tolerance for even small mistakes. Our answer to this is a rewind button that works like a limited save and reload. You can use it once per mission and it takes you back to the start of your previous turn. We feel this will allow you to repair those occasional missed clicks without completely removing the tension of the game. We also know there are lots of you who like how difficult and unforgiving the game can be. For you there is the IRONMAN mode which disables the Rewind feature entirely. The name IRONMAN feels more "military" than "secret agency", so it might not be the final term we use. We are thinking of a good alternate. Next up are the alternate agent load-outs. You can find them by clicking the ARCHIVE button (once you've unlocked them) on the newly designed Team Select screen. These are the lives of the agents leading up to the current events. We hope they will again offer varied play styles and a peek into the larger world of Invisible, Inc. The Augments have been split from Inventory. Another example of how your feedback is shaping the game for the better. Augments now have slots of their own giving inventory some breathing space. Augment slots are increased by visiting the Cybernetics labs. Now, if you don't want the augments offered there, you can still upgrade your agent in preparation for later. There is a notable change to guard behavior. When guards search interest points, they will now peek around adjacent corners. If they find an agent hiding somewhere, they will get a new interest to investigate. This makes guards smarter and harder to elude, but you will have a chance to react if you need to. The last item I will touch on is the new Support Guard unit. These guys are packed full of flash grenades and love using them. Waiting around the corner of a door can be a risky move here. But they are a great source for flash grenades themselves. Flash and smoke grenades are like ammo and med gels in that they are consumed when used. After that, there are a couple of other things (such as International's scanning ability moved to an item and became a passive effect) and the usual batch of bug fixes. Check the bullets list for the rest of the changes and new stuff. We look forward to what you have to say about it all.

yossarian Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Cool beans. Will probably never use Rewind, but I'll try and come up with an alternative to "IRONMAN." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vianna77 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Epic update!!! I think "Rewind" should rewind to begin of alarm level!So, we could rewind as many times we want to begin of the level (alarm level 0) or begin of alarm level 1, begin of alarm level 2... .

vianna77 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Rewind was designed to fix your mid-clicks, not break the game. Rewind the game to begin of alarm level will bring a nice and elegant way to restore the game for those who play for fun and don`t want to spend hours in it to master the game.

nomm Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Great stuff. The change to augments and cybernetics labs looks like an especially solid improvement. So glad that opening and closing doors no longer breaks overwatch <3 Not too keen on the new hissing door noise, a bit jarring. Also unsure about rewind. Maybe it should be on easy mode only? #IRONMAN4LIFE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magma Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Monst3r sold me the new gadget. Do NOT click if you want to figure it out by yourselfLock Decoder: Place it on a locked door to open it after 3 turns, CD 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefanstr Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Monst3r sold me the new gadget. Do NOT click if you want to figure it out by yourselfLock Decoder: Place it on a locked door to open it after 3 turns, CD 3 I found this in a shop on my first run. I like it because it makes Banks less of a no-brainer. The release notes say something about an Archive button for alternate load-outs for agents. Has anyone found it? I cannot see it anywhere. Also: I love the rewind button. I tend to play too fast and misclick a lot. I already had to use it once. Klei, you guys are the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougalishere Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 yeah i found the item in a shop on 1st run as well Feel like I cant stop using banks tho Just played ironman only myself tho , I like to feel the rage withmisclicks... Also loving the way gaurds actually check the corners and stuff around the interest points now , makes it a bit harder to hide from them now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer Jason Posted November 11, 2014 Author Developer Share Posted November 11, 2014 The release notes say something about an Archive button for alternate load-outs for agents. Has anyone found it? I cannot see it anywhere. Ah, I should have mentioned they have been added to the list of unlockables, so you'll need to finish some matches before the ARCHIVE button will show up.

stefanstr Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Thanks Jason. BTW. I think I found a bug. The game hung on my Mac when I tried to throw a Gas Grenade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomm Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 What I wanna know is, does the lock decoder work on vault doors as well? Get on it, people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougalishere Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 What I wanna know is, does the lock decoder work on vault doors as well? Get on it, people! If it will work on vault doors that will be epic or the door that is often behind the server farm consoles.. anyone know if the ceo keys also open those doors btw ?

MrMayge Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 The name IRONMAN feels more "military" than "secret agency", so it might not be the final term we use. We are thinking of a good alternate. Perhaps "Professional" mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushuwu158 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Instead of "IRONMAN", how about "Broken Record"? It sounds a little less gun-ho, but it's got a nice double meaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daled Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I saw a vault-like door in the cybernetics lab, I wonder what's inside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamGreywind Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 And so the story continues to deepen. The lore hound is just LOVING all this extra little tidbits. Thank you, Klei, for putting so much love into the backstory and lore of this game as much as the game itself. It's just absolutely amazing.

Sphingx Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Having fun going through the agent profiles but one thing I have to ask: is Dr Xu's age really 53 or is that a typo or something? The artwork makes him look around 20-30-ish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirsh Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Support guard show me new exploit: he knock out Decard as intended, two or three guys comes to see what happens and starts to investigate; no one of them was ready when after several turns Deckard rise with his ancient stuff...They really should use pinning in that situations or supporting guards would do more damage to security than support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougalishere Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 The augements I buy from the nanofab vestible now .. do I have to find a cyber lab to install them ? will there be an extra option, or should I just stop buying them from the nanofab?

Shirsh Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 do I have to find a cyber lab to install them ? you need to activate it from inventory also augments at cyber lab doesn't make KO anymore, not cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joopac Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Perhaps "Professional" mode? I think this is cool, reminds me of Deckard calling corporate security "Amateurs."By the way, just finished a run with both of the Archive agents, and man, did I love Deckard! With the revolver, I did not need to buy any lethal weapons since 6 bullets were enough to finish the game(I ended up having 3 of them still with me).But I was a little disappointed with nerf of Internationale. The item is cool, but for me it cannot beat the former version of using the ability as my choice. I guess this makes picking up Internationale from Detention center less valuable since she cannot scan things(Maybe Devs thought this was too OP? but Banks still get to keep her ability!). I want my older version of Internationale back.... Plus, I think the archive version can keep the Wireless Emitter, because with the ability moved into the item, that is the only uniqueness that Internationale can have.

onedollarwilliam Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I am REALLY excited about Smoke Grenades, I keep running into situations in game where I think "Man, what I need right here is a smoke grenade;" but then I forget to come mention it.

onedollarwilliam Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Quick initial thought on the new build: Does anyone else feel like the new door noises are too high tech? I feel like I'm robbing the USS Enterprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
