Starry Studio has released a new update for their game Once Human, introducing a variety of fixes and a new item called Memetic Specialization Memory Fragments. This update aims to enhance gameplay by providing unique Memetic Specializations, which are tradeable among players but only usable during the current season. The patch also introduces several optimizations to game modes and vehicle performance.
New Memetic Items Introduced
The update adds Memetic Specialization Memory Fragments that offer unique specializations when used. Players can activate up to three of these fragments per season, but they will expire at the season’s end and won’t carry over to the Eternaland Depot. Players can trade these fragments with others, allowing for a dynamic and strategic use of these specializations. Additionally, the update includes changes to the display elements on the Memetic Specialization screen and improvements to the stacking of certain metal ingots in the Backpack. Production of regular ammunition has also been increased by 50%.
Highway Pursuit and Vehicle Improvements
Highway Pursuit mode in the Chalk Peak region now features a new route, and event times are fixed to 9:00 PM server time. The update ensures Rosetta trucks automatically drop Sproutlets, rewarding players without requiring direct attacks. Vehicle optimizations include enhanced acceleration and maximum speed for lower-tier motorcycles, Off-Roaders, and Coupes. The update also addresses a bug requiring players to press a movement key after boarding a vehicle and adds a feature to free stuck vehicles by holding down the accelerate key.
Compared to earlier updates, which mainly focused on bug fixes and minor adjustments, this patch introduces more substantial gameplay improvements and new features. Previous patches concentrated on balancing existing elements, whereas the latest update emphasizes enhancing player experience with new items and optimizations. While earlier updates were more about stabilizing the game, the current one appears to be more geared towards enriching the overall gameplay.
Prior iterations of Once Human faced criticism for vehicle handling and limited content in game modes. This update seems to address those concerns by improving vehicle mechanics and expanding game modes. The addition of Memetic Specialization Memory Fragments introduces a new layer of strategy, reflecting Starry Studio’s effort to innovate and enhance user engagement.
Starry Studio’s latest update for Once Human offers a variety of improvements and new features designed to enrich the player experience. The introduction of Memetic Specialization Memory Fragments adds a new strategic element to the game, although their seasonal limitation encourages timely use. The optimizations to Highway Pursuit and vehicle performance aim to make gameplay smoother and more engaging. These changes demonstrate a balance between fixing existing issues and introducing fresh content, reflecting a comprehensive approach to game development. Players can expect more dynamic and enjoyable gameplay with these latest adjustments.
