Pilgrim: Descent Protocol v0.3.6 is now live!

Hi everyone  v0.3.4, 0.3.5 was recently uploaded without patch notes. I've combined those changes into v0.3.6, which is now available for download.

Highlights

• Improved player handlight range and intensity for clearer night-time visibility.

• Hoverbike handling and tuning adjustments.

• Sola updates: personality polish and new context-aware dialogue on activation and when plasma cores are inserted.

• Performance tweaks, stability improvements, and general bug fixes.

Visuals & Lighting

• Increased player handlight range and brightness for better night visuals.

Vehicles – Hoverbike

• Tuning updates to improve overall handling and feel. Also fixed an issue which could cause bike to skip around on dismount if dismounted at high speeds.

Characters & Dialogue – Sola

• Personality refinements and new dialogue triggered on activation and during plasma core insertion.

Performance & Stability

• Additional performance optimizations and stability improvements.

Bug Fixes

• Various general fixes and minor improvements across the game + more

Moving Forward:

For the coming Steam Early Access launch, there will be some big changes. Specifically, a slight shift toward more RPG-style systems—inventories, different armor/blasters, and more + an expanded narrative. The game is also now planned to have a Day/Night cycle rather than just Night.

This update will go live when Early Access begins. The game will no longer be free once v0.4.0 releases. If you donate $1 or more, you’ll automatically get the Paid itch Version at launch. No need to pay full price.
