I have been working on this hobby project for nearly three years now and it currently has all the core mechanics in place but lacks a lot of content and polish. I need your feedback to make it better!

I don't have a strict schedule for the next alpha update because I'm hoping to get more feedback on the current version first.

Markers are now shown on ground for incoming drop pods. This was initially tested as a fix to players forgetting to wait for incoming drop pods before entering the extract zone at end of the mission but it proved to be a helpful addition in general:

The rifle’s base fire rate has also been increased to make it a more useful weapon. I had to slightly reduce the fire rate increase by a fire rate modifier to keep the maximal fire rate in check. This in turn affects all weapons but the change is not that big.
This week I added a new weapon modifier: Explosive projectiles. This one lowers the fire rate significantly but makes projectiles deliver explosion damage to nearby objects on hit. It will probably be only available for the rifle because adding this to the shotgun results in a way too overpowered weapon.

Last week I worked on "minimal Steam integration". That included Steam Deck button icons in controller guides, virtual keyboard handling for text input and fetching Steam user name as default high score name. I also added custom button icons for PS and Xbox controllers while I was at it.

As far as I know this should be enough to pass the Steam Deck verification.
