Deimos Interactive, the developer of survival game Mechanica, has introduced multiple new changes to the game. Perhaps the biggest difference is that the protagonist has been changed to a robot. This should allow for more interesting interactions with the environment. The protagonist also has updated vitals such as power shots and coolant shots. Deimos Interactive also teased the new multiplayer mode which will release next month and will add in a ton of content.

A word about multiplayer
Multiplayer is now well underway and should be ready (possibly in the form of an opt-in beta) within a month. This is another prerequisite update that I needed to get done before multiplayer would be possible.
