NITRO GEN OMEGA news & patch notes

Crew,

we've been working hard on fixing all the issues you've been reporting right here on Steam and on our Discord server.

This time, rather than rushing out updates every few days we decided to pack several fixes into a bigger patch, with the intention of releasing it here on Steam first then release it on consoles shortly after. We know we have been a little slower with this one - sorry about that!

As per tradition, we're releasing it in Permanent Beta first to spot any potential issues before pushing it live into the world.

Changelog

• Fixed an issue with "Two is megli che uan" not triggering. Now it correctly unlocks after purchasing a second broken fan after unlocking Gardening.

• Improved savefiles to be more resilient to occasional corruption.

• Fixed an issue where a Random Event could trigger while using the Sonar.

• Fixed an issue where Hints could trigger on top of Actiivities and other sequences.

• Aspirations from dismissed/dead pilots are now properly removed from the log.

• Fixed an issue where Aspirations that required obtaining marbles could exceed the maximum number of Marbles attainable.

• Fixed an issue where the Skill Unlock modal could trigger over a dialogue or quest screen.

• Fixed an issue with Raise Dust showing the "Smoked" icon for 3 segments.

• Fixed an issue with "Told You So" not working on Round 01.

• Fixed an issue with Energy Saver and It's Personal not working properly with the Boxer.

• Fixed an issue with Stun stunning extra enemies.

• Fixed an issue with the Screamers palette not showing properly in combat.

• Fixed an issue with the Smoothie effect that grants an extra action in the first planning phase.

• Fixed an issue with Tuning skills incorrectly providing extra slots.

• Fixed an issue with some Monki chest parts not providing Healing Gel ammo.

• Fixed an issue with Serene Gigantopithecus Chest not showing the proper landing segment for the Missile.

• Fixed an issue where Jackrabbits had infinite ammo.

Please note that the "Finders Keepers" achievement is actually not bugged - just requires some patience to wait for 5 events to spawn around you.

There's some extra issues that have been reported recently that we're investigating as well as some UI/UX improvements that we might introduce at a later date but it is important for us to get these important fixes out first.

How to access the Beta

Crew,

in the past couple of days we issued a couple of hotfixes for the most pressing issues we observed at launch. Today we're releasing version 1.2.2 that fixes the last known major issue as well as a few minor issues. Here's a complete changelog of everything we fixed this week.

Changelog

• Fixed a crash when moving the left analogue stick during some dialogues

• Fixed a softlock/loop where if a pilot would get gravely wounded during the initial part of "The Mechanic" quest you'd get stuck in an infinite loop. This fix should be retroactive so existing savefiles should be fixed now. Please let us know if that's not the case.

• Fixed an issue on mouse & keyboard where clicking too fast on a shop upon entering would render the UI unresponsive.

• Fixed an issue with Cool/Hot Headed portraits not matching their personality.

• Fixed an issue with aspirations rewards being issued twice.

• Fixed missing Spoons and Magnifier Glass missing from their animations.

• Fixed the palette of the Screamers if you had a custom paint yourself.

That should be all for now.

We're collecting your bug reports and investigating fixes. Feel free to join us on Discord to interact with other members of the community and with the development team.

Cheers,

GP

Crew - or should I say... Fools! The time has come.

NITRO GEN OMEGA is out now with version 1.0!

We have a new Launch Trailer for you to celebrate the occasion!

With that our Early Access Roadmap concludes succesfully.

You can find the full changelog here: That's it really. I have nothing more to say. Except for: thank you. To all of the players who have supported us over this past year or so. You've been a truly wonderful community.

Please feel free to join us on Discord: https://discord.gg/PvBBkbsMhQ

I love you all.

GP

Allright crew,

it's time to make a big list! We have a LOT of new things coming in version 1.0 of NITRO GEN OMEGA that is releasing on May 12th. New features, content, UI/UX improvements and more.

Here's a deep dive on everything you can expect this upcoming Tuesday.

The Main Quest

One last chance to save the world. Will you take it? NITRO GEN OMEGA adds a proper Main Quest that starts at Anchorage and will take you across the whole Continent on a last attempt to defeat the machines for good.

The Main Quest is pretty significant in size, and it is meant to run in parallel with the rest of the content of the game.

We do not expect you to be able to blitz through it - you will always need to do contracts on the side to keep the Marbles flowing in. Still, the Main Quest is a journey where you will visit every major faction on the continent and we reworked the unlocking of Side Quests to flow nicely with the progression of the Main Quest.

The Main Quest introduces new characters, cutscenes, dialogues and new tracks in the soundtrack. It is also meant to give a canonical ending to the game. We always described NGO as a "Sandbox RPG" and that's still largely true, but many players felt the need to have a story to tie it all together. We listened.

In order to experience the Main Quest you will need to start a new savefile. Your old savefiles should still be playable but will not include the new content and might present some issues here and there. More info below.

All the major additions related to the Main Quest

• Main Quest starts right at the beginning of the game (regardless if the tutorial is on or off). It runs alongside the rest of the game - you're free to complete it at your own leasure or do side quests, sonar events and contracts.

• Added several cutscenes inside/outside of combat, sometimes featuring dialogue between your characters and NPCs

• Some Characters (like the Mechanic) have been rewritten compared to their Early Access version.

• While there aren't dialogue options, the game now has a proper dialogue system where your characters will talk among each other or with NPCs at certain point of the quest (before it was essentially mostly monologues).

• Please note that failing some Main Quest encounters will result in an immediate Game Over. You can always reload your savefile and try again but you can't exactly "regroup and retry" after some particularly high stakes fights.

• All of the existing quests have been moved to "Side Quests". The major questlines related to the various factions will now unlock organically while playing the Main Quest (Junkers, Arbus Desert and Resonant Accord).

• After completing the Main Quest you can continue to play with your current save file normally.

• The "Turbo!" quest has been removed. The Airship Booster will be unlocked in a different way.

• We have reworked the color of the quest icons: Orange Exclamation marks for Contracts, Yellow Question Marks for Secondary Quests, Red Question Marks for the Main Quest, Cyan Stars for Aspirations, Purple for Sonar Events.

Mech Selector & Tutorial Skip

Aside from being able to skip the tutorial, you are now free to start a new game with any of the Mechs you have unlocked. The tutorial is only available if you play as the Monki.

We also added an explanation for what Ironman Mode is.

New Features & Quality of Life

• There is now a notification popping up on the left of the screen every time you complete a quest or a new quest starts.

• You can now enable/disable the tracking of quests on the minimap and side panel.

• Locked activities now have a tooltip telling you which item you need to unlock them.

• Available activities now have a tooltip recapping their effect.

• You now get a popup warning if you try to buy a part for a different Mech than the one you currently own.

• When you buy a part for your Mech you will now get a dialogue window comparing it to the one you currently own and with the option to immediately install it.

• You can now Tryout pilots in a Fool's Inn before hiring them. You can pay 10% of their hiring cost to reveal one of their skills at random.

• You can now rotate the Mech in Paint/Loadout Screen by clicking and dragging or by using the Right Analog Stick.

• Reworked the Management Screen to be much more performant. This should be evident on older PCs and Steam Deck.

• Items in the inventory and in stores are now paginated instead of being an endless scrolling list.

• In the Loadout Screen you now get a preview of what Statuses do.

• Both Bass and Paradise Dance get dedicated tracks that play when you perform those activities.

Gameplay and Balancing Changes

With the game now "complete" in terms of content we took this time to review everything in terms of balancing to ensure a challenging but fun experience, with changes made across the board.

Drama Director

• Overall the Drama Director should kick in more often. This should mean more Critical Hits, more Instinct Guards, more Limit Breaks, more Crisises, more Breakdowns.

Wounds

• It is now harder to sustain light wounds in battle.

• Wounds overall now heal faster.

• Wounds heal twice as fast for pilots who don't take part in combat.

Fatigue

• Pilots who don't take part in combat will have their fatigue drop slightly. Overall this should ensure that you don't have to rely 100% on activities and you can rotate people out of combat to have them rest.

New Parts

• We added around 260 new parts, bringing the total to over 540 parts. Overall the main goal was to ensure a smoother progression for all three mechs and provide more options wherever possible.

Monki

• Guard now also reduces Explosive damage.

• Slightly increased the Hull Points provided by legendary parts.

Ocelot

• Overall increased the Hull Points provided by Ocelot Parts.

• The Ocelot now starts with 3 stability at the beginning of the first Round.

Patriot

• Overall increased the Hull Points provided by Patriot Parts

• Most movement orders of the Patriot now provide damage reduction of some sort, giving it more defensive options.

• Target is dealt an extra 5% damage for each Combo Point it has.

Enemies

• Medusa: Whip now deals Ranged damage, allowing it to be evaded. Overall this should give you more defensive options against it.

• Razer/Pillager/Defiler: Reduced the damage of Thorns by 1.

• Sniper: Reduced the frequency of Track. Reduced HP. Reduced the chance of finding two Snipers in an encounter.

Miscellaneous Changes

• Bumpers and Triggers have been swapped on all menus that have both. If you have to re-train your muscle memory: sorry!

• The game is now VERIFIED on Steam Deck.

• Added a proper loading screen with gameplay tips!

• Save slots now list the last mission of the Main Quest you played to make it easier to recognize them.

• You can now delete both Save Slots and Team Profiles.

• Added 20 or so new achievements.

• Various minor improvements and bugfixes.

Important note about existing savefiles

Your existing savefiles should could work with the 1.0 version (i.e. they might not crash) but we can't guarantee that they will work 100% and they won't include any part of the Main Quest. (Edit: we've since learned that if your savefile is from a particularly older version of the game then it will crash on load). We made significant changes to the game and the map and some things might not work on your savefile. For example a quest might not be triggered when it should or present some other issues that might not be readily apparent. In other words you might be experiencing issues and not know that they are happening.

All of your Custom Characters will be retained normally.

We strongly suggest you start a new game on a fresh savefile when 1.0 hits. This way you will experience the Main Quest in its entirety and everything should work fine. In case you want to continue playing on an old savefile, we well leave the current version in a dedicated 'Early Access' branch on Steam that you can always go back to.

That's it folks - we're almost there!

Thanks, GP

Crew,

it's been a ride - on May 12th, NITRO GEN OMEGA is leaving Early Access and officially hitting its 1.0 version.

Alongside the 1.0 Steam Release, the game is also coming out simultaneously on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Epic Games Store.

The star of version 1.0 is the Main Quest, which introduces new characters, cutscenes and an expanded soundtrack.

Alongside that we have plenty of improvements to UI/UX, new mech parts, achievements and more. We plan to share more in the coming weeks.

In the meantime it's been an absolute joy to share this ride with you all. We hope we'll make you proud on May 12th.

Fly high!

GP

Crew,

on April 10th the price of NITRO GEN OMEGA will increase to 29.99$ / 29.99€ / 24.99£ / 149¥, ahead of the 1.0 release.

Looking at the roadmap you know that the 1.0 release is scheduled for May - we will announce the official date very soon but since we'd like to offer a launch discount, we have to increase the price at least a month in advance.

This means that this is your last chance to pick up NITRO GEN OMEGA at the Early Access price and at a substantial discount compared to the 1.0 pricing.

If you were waiting for the 1.0 release to pick up the game, this might be the perfect time to secure your copy as you wait for the full release to drop in may.

And, if you're still undecided, we recently released the 1.0 Demo which gives you a taste of the Main Quest coming next month.

Join us on Discord

We share regular updates with our community on Discord and our weekly stream.

Thanks! GP

Crew, today we have a special announcement for you!

We have a new Demo available and it's a taste of what's coming in the 1.0 release!

Today we are releasing the 1.0 Prologue Demo, which serves as a taste of the game for newcomers who want to experience the innovative gameplay of NITRO GEN OMEGA and doubles as a Prologue of the Main Quest for the seasoned players who can't wait for the full release this May.

What's in the Demo

The Demo is contained to the southern region of the Continent and includes the first chapter of the Main Quest, alongside Contracts and Sonar events. It offers both a taste of the narrative as well as the sandbox gameplay of the full game.

Since the 1.0 is in active development, the Demo is actually in many ways more advanced than the current Early Access release and is meant to be representative of the full 1.0 release coming this May.

In other words: while the demo shares much of the content and overall quality of the current Early Access version, it also includes a number of improvements and updates planned for the full release. As such, it should be considered a preview of what’s coming rather than a direct representation of the current Early Access build.

Please note that savefiles between the Demo and the Full Game are not compatible with each other.

New Gameplay Trailer

To celebrate the demo we have a new gameplay trailer for you:

We're continuously trying to improve not only the NITRO GEN OMEGA experience but also how we communicate it to players. Share the trailer with friends who haven't been introduced to the game yet and let us know what they think!

The Road Ahead

Development on the 1.0 version is going well and it's actually a larger release than what we initially anticipated. We tried our best to offer a narrative payoff to the game as well as expand the content and address as much of the feedback as we could.

We're on track for our May release and we look forward to have you along for the journey!

Once again a friendly reminder that the Main Quest will require a brand new savefile in order to be experienced so on 1.0 you will have to start over (as you will see from the demo, we're adding a "Skip Tutorial" option).

We will have more news to share soon so stay tuned!

We share regular updates with our community on Discord and our weekly stream.

Crew, we have a major update!

After a couple of weeks in open beta, the Patriot Update is now out for everybody!

This update introduces a new playable mech alongside the Resonant Accord quest line and more!

A New Mech

It all started with the Monki. It was the first design that internally really clicked. We made it into our starting mech and more or less the symbol of NGO. As our starting mech it needed to be sort of well rounded and offer a bit of everything. Most of all I think we tried to make it high in survivability.

Then we moved on to the Ocelot: a ranged-focused Mech with a giant revolver on its arm. This is where we started to play with the idea of highly specialized mechs. After the Ocelot it only made sense to go with a melee-focused model and that's how the Patriot was born.

Internally we always called it the "Boxer" and in it you can probably see many different inspirations - from Hajime no Ippo to SFIII's Dudley. Then came the Resonant Accord and we styled its personality and moveset accordingly.

The Patriot can be unlocked following a brand new quest line in Resonant Prime.

It's a melee-focused mech with some limited ranged options that is all about getting up close and personal with some interesting options to isolate targets and rain punches on them.

It sports a unique combo mechanic that sets it apart from the Monki and Ocelot.

Alongside the Patriot you can find

• 80+ unique parts for the Patriot

• Loads of Tuning items unique to the new mech

• 2 achievements related to Patriot's quest line

A new Quest Line

It's time to get properly introduced to the Resonant Accord - one of the many factions that inhabit the continent and the only one with a plan to defeat the machines! (or so they say).

The quest line begins after completing "The Road to Resonant Prime" from the Traders' Gyld and it will lead you to meet new interesting characters and ultimately unlock the Patriot.

Peace in the Continent!

Quality of Life

• Parts comparison has been added to the game both in the Loadout screen and in stores.

• Other minor improvements

Please note that most of the Quality of Life improvements are coming in the 1.0 update. Stay tuned for more news and devlogs in the coming weeks.

Other Improvements and Fixes from the Permanent Beta

• Fixed issues with Push To Corner, flamethrower damage and electrified status

• Overall the Patriot has been buffed significantly since the start of the beta. We plan to continue to monitor its status as more players get their hands on it and possibly adjust it further before the 1.0 release.

• Tuning now properly consumes the parts used in the process.

• Fixed the missile explosion animation caused by Countermeasures.

• Fixed an issue where the Ocelot was unable to complete the reload

• Some fine tuning on enemies

• Some performances and UI improvements.

• Localization update.

• Minor bug fixes.

What’s next for NGO?

As mentioned in our Roadmap we're going to conclude the early access with the deployment of the main quest.

This is as good a time as any to remind everybody again that the Main Quest will require a brand new savefile in order to be experienced so on 1.0 you will have to start over (don't worry we're adding a "Skip Tutorial" option).

We have been working on the Main Quest and the 1.0 update for a minute now and it appears it's gonna be bigger than our inital expectations.

We've received a lot of feedback and suggestions from folks on Discord in regards to the Patriot, the Ocelot and the game in general. We're doing our best to take everything into consideration and address everything we can while sticking to the roadmap and the plans we had for it.

We will start to share development blogs here on Steam as we lead into the 1.0 to explain what's coming and the reasoning behind some choices. We might not be able to fit every suggestion we got into the 1.0 release but rest assured, we do read everything and we appreciate every feedback we got here and on Discord. We're truly doing our best to deliver the best game we can.

Should you encounter any issue with this version, the previous version of the game is available in a beta branch called “previous.”

We share regular updates with our community on Discord and our weekly stream.

Thanks, folks!

Crew, we have a major update coming and we need your help to test it!

The Info Jab update is now LIVE in the permanent beta branch of Steam.

This update completely introduces a new playable mech and some quality of life improvements.

A New Mech

While you were busy fighting the new enemies introduced in the previous update or maybe learning a trick or two with the new tutorial, we were busy adding a new surprise in game.

The Patriot is a new playable mech that can be unlocked following a brand new quest line in Resonant Prime.

It's a melee-focused mech with some limited ranged options that is all about getting up close and personal with some interesting options to isolate targets and rain punches on them.

It sports a unique combo mechanic that sets it apart from the Monki and Ocelot. A plethora of upgrades is also available for this new mech, so test it out and let us know what you think!

A new Quest Line

It's time to get properly introduced to the Resonant Accord - one of the many factions that inhabit the continent and the only one with a plan to defeat the machines! (or so they say).

The quest line begins after completing "The Road to Resonant Prime" from the Traders' Gyld and it will lead you to meet new interesting characters and ultimately unlock the Patriot.

Quality of Life

The update comes with further improvements to quality of life including, finally, parts comparison! We'll post a proper changelog when the patch officially launches but let us know how it feels.

How to access the Beta

You will find a Beta branch right here on Steam called "Permanent Beta".

You can access the Beta branch by right clicking on NITRO GEN OMEGA > Properties > Betas and choosing it from the drop-down menu.

The Beta comes with an important warning: BACK UP YOUR SAVEFILES.

Loading an existing save file might make it incompatible with the regular version of the game. Handle with care.

Your savefiles are located in %localappdata%\\Overdrive\\Saved\\SaveGames

Since the previous patch we also have an automatic backup feature. Your savefiles should be automatically backed up the first time you launch the beta but if you want to be extra safe: do your own backup! (we all press Ctrl+S at least 3-4 times all the time anyway).

What needs testing

We're particularly interested in:

• Load your savefiles and let us know if everything is in order. Are your quests all in progress?

• Are you noticing any changes in the battles? Any orders not working?

• Are you enjoying the Patriot?

• Is the quest line working? How is the balancing of the encounters?

Please let us know your thoughts here on the Steam forums or on Discord. We have a pretty nice community going on there so check it out! Join the Discord

More cool stuff to come soon. We've been sharing the latest on our development streams on Twitch.

Let's fight like gentlemen!

Crew,

Patch 08 is now available and it is a Major update to the game! This update completely reworks the tutorial and the introduces two new enemies.

Frendlier Tutorial

• Rewrote all tutorial texts and added a new "highlight" behavior that points to parts of the UI to interact with. Overall the tutorial should feel more clear and more streamlined.

• This means that are some short "on-rails" flows that are meant to guide you through the UI to discover the most important features.

• Some more advanced mechanics or situational stuff is explained via Hints. These Hints can be dismissed on a per-hint basis.

• The tutorial locks you into the first part of the Map until completion - just to be extra safe you don't wander off before completing it.

• The tutorial now ends with a proper explanation of the Sonar and brings you to Motorhold, where most of the current questlines start.

• Added a situational quest that triggers the first time you have a gravely wounded pilot.

• Added a situational quest that triggers the first time you are down to 3 pilots.

• Hints should appear also on existing games but the new tutorial, as you might imagine, requires a new savefile to be experienced.

New Enemies

Two new enemies join the fray! A feedback we got since the beginning of the Early Access is that we lacked some ranged enemies variety, especially in the mid to late game. We're addressing that.

• We're adding a Sniper-type enemy called Stymphalian and a variant with a different arsenal.

• We're adding a Tank/Hovercraft hybrid called the Pillager that has both ranged and melee variants.

Quality of Life Improvements

We're continuing our efforts to make the game more readable and address player feedback. In particular we looked into addressing all the confusion that stems from the "Mech and Crew not Ready" message and brought improvements to the Mech Building screen too.

• Revamped mech building screen to offer more information on the validity of the current build and the status of the mech and crew.

• Now the pre-battle screen offers warnings for wounded pilots, damaged mech and more.

• Minor fixes and improvements here and there.

Other Improvements and Fixes

• Added new parts for Male characters.

• Switching from Mouse & Keyboard to Controller and vice-versa should be smoother now.

• More optimizations - this time on the CPU side.

• Some fine tuning on enemies and Tracked status.

• Minor bug fixes.

What’s next for NGO?

As mentioned in our Roadmap we're going to focus on introducing a third Mech and we will conclude the early access with the deployment of the main quest... and more!

Should you encounter any issue with this version, the previous version of the game is available in a beta branch called “previous.”

Thanks, folks!

Crew, we have a major update coming and we need your help to test it!

The Knowledge update is now LIVE in the permanent beta branch of Steam.

This update completely reworks the tutorial and the introduces two new enemies.

A friendlier Tutorial

There's a lot going on in NITRO GEN OMEGA. Resources to manage, stats to keep in check, mood to balance and marbles to earn. Despite being a turn based RPG, sometimes the amount of information feels overwhelming, especially during the first few hours. We designed a gradual introduction to the mechanics but we didn't fully hit the mark.

Until now.

The revamped tutorial will help new players understand the complex yet eyecatching mechanisms of NITRO GEN OMEGA in a way we think will please you.

New floating dialogue boxes are now delivering information that were somewhat implied before, while a spotlight mechanism will guide your gaze in areas you should pay attention to.

Some concepts have received a more in depth explanation while others are now introduced in a more gradual way. We're also wiping away some “what ifs?” that were unanswered until it was too late like “Why is my Mech not ready?”.

Please let us know what do you think!

New situational missions

On top of the new tutorial, we have two missions that trigger if you somehow are left with less than four pilots or if any of your pilots are gravely wounded.

We also rewrote the introduction to the Sonar which will also nudge you towards a more action packed area of the map right from the get go.

New Enemies

Two new enemies will join the fray. We have a foe that likes to hunt you from afar called Stymphalian and its variants with a different arsenal. On the other hand we have something called Pillager that likes to get more up close and personal while being quite elusive.

How to access the Beta

You will find a Beta branch right here on Steam called "Permanent Beta".

You can access the Beta branch by right clicking on NITRO GEN OMEGA > Properties > Betas and choosing it from the drop-down menu.

The Beta comes with an important warning: BACK UP YOUR SAVEFILES.

More cool stuff to come soon. We've been sharing the latest on our development streams on Twitch.

Stay in school!

Crew,

Patch 07 is now available and it is a Major update to the game! We’ve reworked all the ship activities, introduced four new activities, expanded character traits, and so much more.

New activities & reworked existing ones

The entire activity system on the ship wasn’t quite in line with what we wanted to achieve, so to add more depth and interesting choices to this part of the game, we’ve rebalanced and revised the entire activity system, as well as added four new activities.

• New statistic for pilots: Fatigue. It increases at the end of each fight and only decreases by performing certain activities so diversify your tasks!

• Activities for friends and rivals. Two unlockable activities to make sparks fly!

• Tuning is here! It allows pilots to customize their mech, turning scrap and other pieces obtained from enemies into mech parts.

• Smoothie is ready! Prepare a delicious smoothies to provide powerful instant effects and new skills that last for several fights to the pilot who dares to drink them!

Traits

13 new traits are now availble and 7 existing ones got an overhaul.

Improved ship and activities UI

Understanding what activity can be done and what pilots are up for it is now easier than ever! And in case someone is not available, the reason why it is now explicit.

New items and more

We have added several new items, skills, etc.

• 55 new parts craftable with tuning

• 8 new ingredients for cooking and smoothies

• 4 new items to unlock activities

• 4 new homesteading skills for tuning

• 1 new event

Performance improvements and bugfixes

• Fixed an issue where pilots would be severely injured due to mech destruction even if the mech was still in one piece at the end of a failed encounter.

• Fixed an issue where former member of your crews could be recruited again in the exact same status. That could lead to funny scenarios where someone would leave due to low mood then join to leave again for the same cause.

• Fixed some animations and their SFX.

• Fixed an issue in some encounters where the wrong goal was displayed, leading to some confusion.

• Added a few missing strings and fixed some more.

• Various fixes to minor issues.

What’s next for NGO?

As mentioned in our Roadmap our next focus is to revisit the tutorial and add two more enemies. After that, we will introduce the third playable mech and we will conclude with the deployment of the main storyline... and much more!

Should you encounter any issue with this version, the previous version of the game is available in a beta branch called “previous.”

Thanks, folks!

Crew,

We’ve got a special announcement for you today! We’re thrilled to finally share the development roadmap for the remainder of our Early Access period.

What a ride it’s been so far. Since our Early Access launch back in June, we’ve released six patches — including two major updates: Character Creator and Lost Frequencies.

Our next major update, Vocations, is coming soon, and we’re excited to announce two more big updates before our final release and version 1.0 next year.

We’ve been working closely with the community to identify your main requests and see how they could fit into our long-term plans.

After Vocations, we’ll be focusing on improving the tutorial, which is due for a full rework. If you’ve already moved well past that stage — don’t worry — we’ve got something new for you too: new enemies to face across the wastelands!

Next, it’ll be time to introduce a brand-new Mech, which we’ve been developing for a while. This addition will complete the final roster of mechs available in the game.

When we first envisioned NITRO GEN OMEGA, we aimed for a sandbox experience. Over time, however, the game evolved naturally toward a more structured narrative, featuring quests that better match the kind of experience many of you expect from this world.

That evolution leads to one clear outcome: the addition of a true main quest. While our existing side quests did a solid job of guiding players through the wastelands and unlocking content, they lacked the emotional weight and narrative closure of a full story — with a beginning, middle, and end. A true end. We hope you’ll enjoy what we’re cooking.

The Main Quest — and therefore version 1.0 — comes with one important caveat: you’ll need to start a new game to experience it. We’ll do our best to ensure your existing save files remain usable (so you can keep playing if you wish), but the new story won’t integrate seamlessly with older saves. We’ll make sure to remind everyone of this closer to launch.

Alongside the main quest, version 1.0 will also bring NITRO GEN OMEGA to new platforms, so stay tuned for more announcements in the near future. This roadmap doesn’t exclude smaller updates that may roll out along the way — we’ll keep you posted as we go.

It’s been a privilege building this game with you, and a joy having you along for the ride.

See you on the wastelands,

GP

Crew, we have a major update coming and we need your help to test it!

Vocations update is now LIVE in the permanent BETA branch of Steam

A complete rework of all activities, new activities, items, traits, and a lot more!

Crew, Patch 07 is now available on the Beta branch! We’ve reworked all the ship activities, introduced four new activities, expanded character traits, and so much more.

Here’s the complete changelog:

Reworked and new activities

The entire activity system on the ship wasn’t quite in line with what we wanted to achieve, so to add more depth and interesting choices to this part of the game, we’ve rebalanced and revised the entire activity system, as well as added four new activities.

• We have introduced a new statistic for pilots: Fatigue. Pilot fatigue always increases at the end of each fight and only decreases by performing certain activities. Unlike mood, having a high fatigue will never cause pilots to abandon the crew, but bad things could happen if it is not managed…

• Unique activities for friends and rivals. We have introduced two activities that can only be performed by pilots who are friends or rivals. These two activities are not initially available but must be unlocked. The items to unlock them are on sale in the General Stores of some cities.

• Tuning is one of the new activities introduced with this update. It allows pilots to further customize their mech, turning scrap and other pieces obtained from enemies into a new type of mech parts. There are a lot of new parts, ranging from Common to Legendary, for the Monki and the Ocelot.

• Smoothie is one of the new activities introduced with this update. A pilot can prepare a smoothie using some of the ingredients that can also be used for cooking. Smoothies provide powerful instant effects and new skills that last for several fights. Unlike cooking, this activity only affects the character who performs it, not the entire crew.

Traits

To further differentiate the characters from each other, we have significantly expanded the trait system, adding 13 new traits and completely changing the functioning of the seven existing ones. Each pilot can have up to two traits.

Improved ship and activities UI

An activity’s icon now shows directly whether the activity has already been done or not, and it is no longer necessary to open it to find out. Furthermore, when choosing the characters to perform an activity, it is indicated which ones cannot do it and the reason for this.

New items and more

We have added several new items, skills, etc.

• 55 new parts craftable with tuning

• 8 new ingredients for cooking and smoothies

• 4 new items to unlock activities

• 4 new homesteading skills for tuning

• 1 new event

Performance improvements and bugfixes

• We are continuing to optimize the game to improve performance. The effect should be especially visible on Steam Deck and older graphics cards.

• Various fixes to minor issues.

How to access the Beta

You will find a Beta branch right here on Steam called “Permanent Beta.”

You can access the Beta branch by right clicking on NITRO GEN OMEGA > Properties > Betas and selecting it from the dropdown menu.

The Beta comes with an important warning: BACK UP YOUR SAVE FILES.

Loading an existing save file might make it incompatible with the regular version of the game. Handle with care.

Your save files are located in %localappdata%\\Overdrive\\Saved\\SaveGames

What’s next for NGO?

After the much-needed changes to the map and ship, the next critical part of the game we want to revisit is the tutorial and the game’s first-player experience in general. Also, there might be a bit too few things shooting at you in battle; we might add a few more.

Should you encounter any issue with this version, the previous version of the game is available in a beta branch called “previous.”

We share regular updates with our community on Discord and our weekly stream.

Be sure to join us on Discord to interact with the development team and stay up to date with everything NGO.

Thanks, folks!

Crew,

we're out with Patch 06 and it's a Major update to the game. We reworked the Sonar, introduced new missions and items, huge performance improvements and a new World UI.

Here's the complete changelog:

Reworked the Sonar

The new Sonar sends an alert when there's stuff that can be found around you. When the Sonar buzzes, you can enter Search mode. While in Search Mode, Signals will approach your Airship - you'll need to lock onto these signals by pressing LMB (or A on the Controller) at the right time. When you do so they'll be highlighted for you and you'll be able to explore them and find out what's down there.

New Missions & New Rewards

• 8 Different mission types can be found using the Sonar including new wave-based encounters, timed deliveries and more.

• A ton of new rewards can be obtained from these new missions including:

  • 10 new videogames of Epic rarity

  • 17 new Chroma Paints

  • Recipes as a collectible item - no more guesswork!

A new Enemy variant and Sonar upgrades

• Introduced a new enemy variant: the Gunblade Goblin.

• Sonar upgrades can be found and purchased from shops around the world. They make Search Mode more forgiving.

New and improved world UI

• A much needed revamp of the world UI with several new indicators:

  • Pilots now display their mood, health status and aspirations.

  • A damaged mech now shows a warning.

  • Added a warning for low supplies.

  • Added a Wages timer and a clearer notification.

  • Added a counter for Activity Tokens

Reworked end of combat

In preparation of future updates, we've reworked the end of combat to be more tied to what happened during a battle.

• Changed how mood is affected by combat. Now should reflect more closely what happened during the battle, resulting even in Mood increases in case of victory (but bigger swings in case of ugly losses).

• Changed how XP is distributed at the end of a battle, now scaling with the difficulty of the encounter.

• Pilots can no longer be wounded as a result of losing a Transport escort encounter. Wounds are always the result of the mech being destroyed.

Significant performance improvements

We've significantly optimized the game in the open world and generally optimized textures and streaming. As a result the game should always be comfortably above 30fps on Steam Deck.

This obviously means a significant bump in performance on older machines and lower VRAM usage that should benefit users of older graphic cards.

Further character customization

We have added a ton of new hairstyles for the female character. 93 to be exact.

Bugfixing & Minor Changes

• Fixed various issues around orders that included an attack and a movement (i.e. Backflip).

• Various fixes to issues outside of combat.

• Character Creator is now fully localized.

What is next for NGO

Next on our sights is the Airship! We have new activities in the work and a significant overhaul of existing ones. Stay tuned!

Should you encounter any issue with this version, the previous version of the game is available in a beta branch called "previous".

Crew, we have a major update coming and we need your help to test it!

The Lost Frequencies update is now LIVE in the permanent beta branch of Steam.

This update completely reworks the Sonar you get at the beginning of the game and makes it into an active mechanic.

How the new Sonar works

Previously the Sonar would "vibrate" when in proximity of randomly spawned events and encounters. It would do so passively by changing the amplitude of a wave that surrounded your ship, in a somewhat subtle way. This led to many players missing the Sonar mechanic entirely and the world feeling more empty than it was supposed to be.

That's why we reworked it.

Now, the Sonar will alert you when there's stuff that can be found around you. When the Sonar buzzes, you can enter Search mode. While in Search Mode, Signals will approach your Airship - you'll need to lock onto these signals by pressing LMB (or A on the Controller) at the right time. When you do so they'll be highlighted for you and you'll be able to explore them and find out what's down there.

Why the Rework

Once again, this update stems from your feedback.

After the Character Creator, the second most common feedback was that the world felt a bit "empty" with not much to do while traveling or inbetween contracts.

This update is the first step in addressing that.

We tried to make the Sonar more meaningful by making it an active mechanic while also adding more interesting encounters and "sonar-exclusive" rewards you can find around the world.

New missions, a ton of new rewards

Lost Frequencies comes with 8 different missions you can find using the Sonar, including new wave-based encounters, timed deliveries and more.

These new missions bring a ton of new potential rewards including 10 new Epic Videogames, 17 new Chroma Paints and Recipes!

That's right, Recipes are now a collectible item you can find around the world - no more guesswork or datamining!

The Sonar also brings its own upgrades that can be purchased in Shops around the world and that will make Search Mode more forgiving.

We're also introducing a new enemy variant: The Gunblade Goblin. It's got guns, it's got blades, it's got gunblades!

New world UI

With this update we're also introducing a much needed revamp of the world UI.

The new UI features a clear indication of the Mood of each pilot, their health status and aspirations. Plus, we're introducing a "Low Supplies" warning, a "Damaged Mech" warning, a counter for Activity Tokens and a Wages timer.

Overall we tried to give you all the important informations you need while traveling around the Wastelands, while also improving the readability and usability of the UI.

How to access the Beta

You will find a Beta branch right here on Steam called "Permanent Beta".

You can access the Beta branch by right clicking on NITRO GEN OMEGA > Properties > Betas and choosing it from the drop-down menu.

The Beta comes with an important warning: BACK UP YOUR SAVEFILES.

Loading an existing save file might make it incompatible with the regular version of the game. Handle with care.

Your savefiles are located in %localappdata%\\Overdrive\\Saved\\SaveGames

Also, starting with this version we're experimenting with a handy auto-backup feature for savefiles. Your savefiles should be automatically backed up the first time you launch the beta. We might experiment in the future with allowing you to restore backup directly from the game. In the meantime, be safe out there and do your own backup!

What needs testing

With this update we're also laying the foundation for more quests to come in the future - technically the first step is all the sonar missions we added. We did a lot of work under the hood to ensure forward compatibility of your savefiles but we might have missed an edge case somewhere.

Additionally we reworked some things under the hood of the battle system.

We're particularly interested in:

• Load your savefiles and let us know if everything is in order. Are your quests all in progress?

• Are you noticing any changes in the battles? Any orders not working?

• Are you enjoying the Sonar? :)

Please let us know your thoughts here on the Steam forums or on Discord. We have a pretty nice community going on there so check it out! Join the Discord

More cool stuff to come soon. We've been sharing the latest on our development streams on Twitch.

Lock onto those signals!

Crew,

version 2 of the Character Creator Update is now LIVE! Alongside a hefty amount of new Upper Body combinations we introduced the possibility of recruiting Custom Characters in your games!

Now when you start a new game you will see a "Game Settings" button. For now the only setting available is "Created Pilot in Cities" which can be set as "Random" (custom pilots appear in cities alongside procedural ones) "Fill" (custom pilots will appear first before resorting to procedural characters, allowing you to create your own "mini universes") and "Disabled" (no custom character will ever appear in cities).

You'll be pleased to know that this setting can also be changed mid-game from the pause menu and this means that all your existing savefiles are indeed compatible with this patch.

This also opens up to possibly more game settings in the future (e.g. custom difficulty settings).

Additionally, you can also decide on a character-by-character basis if a custom pilot is recruitable or not.

Bear in mind that each custom character (as defined by their ID) is unique for each savefile, therefore if that character dies it will be gone for good and won't show up again as a recruitable character in the future.

We're excited to see where you will take this new feature!

In essence the "Fill" option allows you to create your mini-universes. If you create enough characters you could feasibly only see and recruit your creations (though you might eventually run out).

Here's more stuff included in this update

• Added 27 new Upper Body Jacket/Shirt Combinations for Female Characters

• Added 44 new Upper Body Jacket/Shirt Combinations for Male Characters

• Reduced the XP required to unlock skills, especially at higher levels

• FIxed the Phoenix Cross General Store offerings and slightlly increased the chances of some ingredients and parts appearing in the Resonant Accord area.

Our next major update

We're hard at work on a Sonar rework that we hope to release in beta very soon! Here's a little sneak preview:

As you can see not only the Sonar has completely changed its behavior but we also overhauled the Overworld UI!

Other things we're working on

Here's a non exhaustive list of things we're working on.

• A new mech

• Two new enemies with variants.

• New variants for existing enemies.

• New activities & more.

Should you encounter any issue with this version, the previous version of the game is available in a beta branch called "previous".

Crew,

our most requested feature is now live in the game. The Character Creator v1 is now LIVE!

Last week we released the Character Creator in beta and your response has been truly heartwarming. We're happy to see that our efforts are resonating with you and we hope you can see that we're truly doing our best in crafting NITRO GEN OMEGA.

Today we're releasing it into the wild and to celebrate we're running a weeklong discount of 20% off on the game. Tell your friends!

As we explained when we first announced it, the game was not meant to have a Character Creator. Our vision was for you to get attached to a random cast of character as if you just turned on the TV on a new anime show.

But you kept asking for it, so who are we to say no?

The game was built with procedural generation in mind, not to mention supporting hand-crafted 2d-looking animations so there's all sorts of hidden connections and limitations we built in for Generated Characters that we turned off for Created Characters.

This means we gave you as much freedom as we technically could when it comes to creating your own characters but some limitations might still apply here and there.

Contents of the update

• You can now access the Character Creator directly from the main menu.

• You can create and customize your characters, including their appearance, palette, name, last name, birthday, attitude, portrait pose and more!

• On a new game you can replace any of the four starting characters with a created character.

• Some new hair and clothing have been added too.

Coming in v2

• Full localization for the Character Creator. We preferred to roll it out now after the Beta and localize later. Should be coming soon.

• We plan to add more combinations of hair and upper bodies using the ones we already have (i.e. mixing jackets and shirts that are potentially compatible but not available yet).

• We're working on allowing created characters to appear in Fool's Inn around the world and become recruitable.

We're also exploring ways to let you share your creations with other players. Technically you can already do so as every Created Character is just a file you can share. You will find your creations alongside your savefiies.

Your savefiles are located in %localappdata%\\Overdrive\\Saved\\SaveGames - you will find your Custom Characters in the "Saved" folder. Every Character is contained in its own folder.

FAQ: Does this mean Procedurally Generated Characters are gone?

Not at all! Procedural Characters live alongside your creations and when you start a new game you can replace any of the four starting characters with Created ones. The generator is still there and working. When v2 goes live you will be able to choose how created characters will appear around the world in Fool's Inns alongside generated ones.

Other things we're working on

Here's a non exhaustive list of things we're working on.

• A new mech!

• Two new enemies with variants.

• New variants for existing enemies.

• A Sonar rework.

• New activities & more.

We share regular updates with our community on Discord and our weekly stream.

Should you encounter any issue with this version, the previous version of the game is available in a beta branch called "previous".

We heard you.

Since we've released the game in Early Access, arguably the number one most requested feature was a Character Creator.

This is not what we initially envisioned for the game. We wanted you to get attached to your randomly generated crew, like getting attached to the protagonists of a show you just started watching. You didn't choose them, you grew fond of them.

But still, you kept asking for it. So who are we to say no?

Introducing, the Character Creator - now in Beta!

During development we spent a lot of time developing a Character Generator that could yield believable anime characters. That took a lot of hand-tweaking, experimentation and lots of rules.

We ripped them all out.

Well, almost all of them.

We've done everything we could to allow you the maximum amount of freedom possible without outputting straight up broken characters. This means that some limitations are still there but generally speaking you should feel a lot of freedom in the characters you can create.

We gave a bit of an early access to it to our Discord members and they seem to be enjoying it.

You can Customize the First and Last Name, date of birth, blood type and attitude. Change all the clothing and appearance and customize the character's palette.

We're introducing Nicknames that we will also extend to existing characters and in the future we plan to let you also choose the Character's Avatar pose.

When starting a new game you can replace any of your 4 starting pilots with a custom created one.

Right now we're working on giving you the possibility of also finding Custom Characters in Fool's Inns around the world, allowing you to create an entire roster of characters for your own mecha anime.

We're also exploring ways to allow you to easily upload and share your custom creations with other players. As of right now every Custom Character is a file that you can manually share.

We hope you will like this update. We gave it our best to give you what you asked within the limits allowed us by the existing foundations of the game.

We're releasing the update in Beta first, to gather feedback and see how you feel about it. We hope to release it as a full update in the very near future.

How to access the Beta

You will find a brand new Beta branch right here on Steam called "Permanent Beta". In the future we plan to push important updates there first.

You can access the Beta branch by right clicking on NITRO GEN OMEGA > Properties > Betas and choosing it from the drop-down menu.

The Beta comes with an important warning: BACK UP YOUR SAVEFILES.

Loading an existing save file might make it incompatible with the regular version of the game. Handle with care.

Your savefiles are located in %localappdata%\\Overdrive\\Saved\\SaveGames - you will find your Custom Characters in the "Saved" folder.

Crew,

Patch 03 is finally out and we're bringing you a couple of highly requested features: a World Map and the possibility of picking which Skill gets replaced when a pilot has reached their limit and they level up.

We're working on some juicy stuff, but in the meantime I hope you'll enjoy this patch!

What's new

Added a full-fledged in-game map to the game. Here's how it works:

• You can open the map by pressing M on the keyboard or X/Square on your controller.

• Outposts and Capitals are now by default not shown in the minimap and map.

• When a Location is first visited it will appear on the minimap and map.

• When a Quest or Aspiration asks you to go to a specific Location, the location will still be marked on your map even if not discovered.

• The map also groups the Outposts by faction.

• The map shows the most important stores inside each location.

Added the possibility of picking which Skill to replace when you level up. Here's how it works:

• Revamped the "New Skill Unlocked" screen.

• Now when you unlock a new Skill with a Fool that has already reached maximum capacity, you will be prompted to choose a skill to replace or you can also discard the new randomly selected skill.

Other fixes and improvements:

• Added new Character Palettes!

• Added a new portrait pose for the "Guy with Glasses" personality.

• Fixed "Thrill of the Hunt" skill.

• Fixed the position of the Greenhouse in Phoenix Cross.

• All percentage-based skills now apply their bonus to the full value and not just the base value.

• Skills that increase "All Damage" now also increase "Special Damage".

• Fixed some Cooking Recipes that were impossible to cook.

• Removed Bullet ammunitions from Monki parts that provided the Flamethrower order.

• Fixed the magazine "Yep. It's Camporella".

• Fixed a wrong texture on some shoes.

• Improvements and tweaks to some animations.

• Other minor improvements and fixes.

Other notes

• With the introduciton of the Map we've moved the hotkeys around on PC. Now you go back to your Airship with H, you open the Management Screen with O and you open the map with M.

• We introduced some new strings into the game which aren't translated, we're aware and we're looking to rectify this soon!

Special shoutouts to The Grand Mugwump for the makeshift map that has carried the community until now. You're the Real MVP.

Should you encounter any issue with this version, the previous version of the game is available in a beta branch called "previous". This will always be true from now on.

We'd like to thank the lovely people on our Discord who gave us feedback on the World Map as we were developing it. Be sure to join us on Discord to interact with the development team and be up to date with everything-NGO. Thanks!

Crew,

today we come to you with a smaller patch focusing on addressing several bugs discovered by our community. We have another patch coming (hopefully this week) with more quality of life features, including a map!

Here's a complete list of fixes:

• Fixed Countermeasures not intercepting missiles.

• Fixed Extinguish Fire not working.

• Fixed an issue where Pilots would get an aspiration to complete contracts for Anchorage even though Anchorage has no Fixer. Pilots that had this aspiration will see it removed (with no consequences to mood).

• Temporarely removed the "Power Grid Management" skill from the Skill Pools as we investigate an issue with it (pilots that already have it will keep it but just know that the bonus is applied in the mech building but is not taken into account when checking if the mech is ready for combat - i.e. the bonus isn't being applied correctly).

• Fixed Gardening sometimes not providing any crops.

• Fixed an issue where orders in the timeline would display targets even when not present (or show a target zone AND entity).

• Fixed an issue where targets would not appear in the Resolution Phase timeline.

• Fixed an exploit where it was possible to obtain infinite supplies from the Gas Station (you're all going to jail).

• Temporarely removed the "Spin Left" and "Spin Right" orders from the Prometheans as we investigate issues with them. They were making the Monkinators unfairly powerful and this should put an end to that.

• Fixed an issue where eyelashes color was showing up as lipstick color. This means that some of you might see characters lose their lipstick or see the lipstick change color.

• Fixed an issue with the "Full Stash" achievement.

• Fixed some inconsistencies in order priorities.

• Increased the frequency of Random Map Events (we're currently investigating why some of you have the feeling that they're not spawining at all - it's probably a mix of frequency, location and feel of the radar).

Should you encounter any issue with this version, the previous version of the game is available in a beta branch called "previous". This will always be true from now on.

We hope you'll enjoy our efforts in quickly patching out the issues we find. Stay tuned for another upcoming patch focusing on quality of life and new smaller features. Be sure to join us on Discord to interact with the development team and be up to date with everything-NGO. Thanks!

Crew, we're listening! We come to you with the very first patch for the Early Access of NITRO GEN OMEGA which should bring some really sought after features and fixes. Thank you for the warm reception of our little big game NITRO GEN OMEGA! We are going through all feedback you left us our Discord server, in livestreams' chats, forums and in the in-game form you can access just before exiting. Here's a list of everything that is new:

• When creating a new game, you can now lock characters you like in the character generation screen! When you start a new game you can now lock characters before rerolling their appearance in order to keep the ones you like the most. This feature works when you create a game. Pilots that are available in cities cannot be rerolled, but you can visit the city after a while or move to another one to find one that vibes more with your Crew.

• Bug Fixes This include fixes to the Breakdown theme in battle, Engineering Skills appearing on the Driver and more.

• Balancing Fixes Your pilots should be unlocking skills slightly faster now as well as other smaller changes here and there.

• Localization Fixes Added some missing translations on most languages.

Should you encounter any issue with this version, the previous version of the game is available in a beta branch called "previous". This will always be true from now on.

That's it! We hope you'll enjoy these changes. We're listening to your feedback and taking notes and addressing the most pressing issues. So far we've been very happy with the response and we're very grateful for all your feedback! Be sure to join us on Discord to interact with the development team and be up to date with everything-NGO. Thanks!
