Has this ever happened to you? Exploring a hostile planet on your own is HARD WORK. New places are scary to go through alone, the inhabitants of the planet you’re forcing your way through are unhelpful and it’s just A HASSLE.

Introducing “The Rocket Booster”! In just ONE PAYMENT of 7 Iron, 10 Copper and 10 Zinc, the Rocket Booster can be YOURS! React now, and we will also throw in-

Ahem. Let's try that again.

Welcome to the first developer log of 2020! If you follow us on Twitter, or if you’re part of the Discord community, you may have seen this before in screenshots. Today, we’d like to show you the Rocket Booster in action for the first time!

As you can see, the Rocket Booster allows you to fly short distances. Combined with the Grappler, we feel like the new Rocket Booster really lets the player have a lot more control of how to navigate the game.

An additional benefit to having the Rocket Booster in game is that it lets us create gameplay that isn’t just only combat-based. It also gives you, the player, greater freedom in creating all sorts of vehicles, which we’ve also had a lot of fun with internally.

We also decided that the Rocket Booster would be the perfect way to address another issue we’d run into during gameplay: having to flip our vehicles right side up. Players will somewhat often find themselves in positions where they need to get their vehicle right side up.

With our upcoming changes to monsters in-game, this will only happen more often. That’s why we thought it would be fair to make the Rocket Booster also automatically flip a vehicle right side up when used. We think of it like a stabilizer, allowing the player to find their footing and keep going in tough spots.
