Hi all!
Today we're going to tell you about Lost in Sky's new mechanics and visual updates. Let's start with the visuals.
[b]User Interface
[/b]
The UI has faced the most notable changes:
[list]
[*] we overhauled the character panel:
[*] we brought out the active character;

[list]
[*] HP and armor bars are now larger and better readable;
[*] we also moved the stamina bar to the character panel and changed its appearance.
[/list]

[b]Shortcuts[/b]
We added a tooltip in the lower left-hand corner. Now you can see the control keys (or gamepad shortcuts if you're playing on a console):
[list]
[*] tab — switch between the characters;
[*] Q — order the partner to follow the active character;
[*] H — use health kit;
[*] G — drop a health kit for the partner.
[/list]

We're refining all game visual effects and animations. Eileen the archer received a few upgrades.
[b]Upgraded arrows
[/b]
She shoots faster, sharper, and the arrows leave a clear bright "trail" behind them.

[b]Fan shot
[/b]
With the new animation this shot looks even more spectacular, and its lethality is beyond any doubt.

[b]Power shot
[/b]
Since we're on the subject, let's talk about the new mechanics. Eileen's power shots are now able to pierce through targets. The new ability allows you to shoot a pack of monsters, unfortunate enough to stand too close to each other.

[b]Grenades[/b]
Normally they would bounce off the walls and explode with a short delay. We've made them smarter than that. If you aim carefully and throw it precisely into a cocoon, it'll go off right away! Leave nothing to chance!

That's all for today. We'll see you again soon!
