It's hard to care about long-term progression when it resets every time you pick up the game right? This update is about making long-term, mean long-term (to an extent!). Players now have 3 save slots and the game is automatically saved every time you return to base. Along similar lines, you can now store weapons in your stash for future runs. Outside of this changes focused on bug fixes and visual & audio feedback. It's really exciting starting to see the gameplay loop take shape! Check back later this week for another big piece of the gameplay loop.
