THE FULL RELEASE UPDATE
This is it. The big one.Genome Guardian 2 has left Early Access and is now fully released!Not only are you finally able to conclude the game's story - this update adds more new content than any of the major updates that came before. There's so much to sink your teeth into, and no content is marked as "unreleased" in-game anymore because it's now all available. That also means you can obtain those last few Guardian Files for the DATABASE.Everything below has unlock conditions listed in-game in the CHECKLIST but if you already meet their requirements, you'll instantly unlock them upon opening the game!CHALLENGE THE ABYSSFirst you gotta discover all 18 Journal files in the DATABASE (which appear based on # of unlocked parts) to reach "CURE PROGRESS 100%" on the Main Menu.Then, you can initiate the journey to the injection site (where you can inject the cure into The Abyss' heart) via VIR...

🚨 FULL RELEASE 11 OCTONBOARDING / TUTORIALSThis won't affect you if you're already past this point (you likely are), but new players will now be able to skip a bunch of the tutorials after the wave 1-6 ones. It'll also make the "don't open slots if you have nothing to put in them!" popup only appear once, and won't explain the shop Heal button.I'll be real with you guys - it's been very disheartening how much negatively there's been surrounding the onboarding. I don't make these decisions lightly, and they're not as simple as "just have an option to turn them all on or all off".It's very easy to think the solution is obvious when you're not the developer. "Just do it this way", "just do it that way" - indeed, it would be that simple if the goal was to just please you and only you. Me listening to 10 players over 1 player will be percieved as me "not listening to the players" by that...

Read full update on Steam ↗THE DAILY DIVE UPDATE
Or "THE URACIL UPDATE". Maybe I should have called it that.Indeed, Daily Dive has returned better than ever, and as of this update, you can now finally stop bugging me about "U". Of course, if neither of those things particularily interest you, there's also a bunch of new Guardians, Parts and Mods for ya.Everything below has unlock conditions listed in-game in the CHECKLIST but if you already meet their requirements, you'll instantly unlock them upon opening the game!DAILY DIVE REVAMPEDPeople really enjoyed Daily Dive in GG1, but they also all had a lot of the same complaints - primarily that there's little incentive to do them, and that they're often "unwinnable" (literally - ex. the turret & perk combo would instantly kill you). I've addressed each of those to make for a much-improved experience.each Daily Dive feature 3 modifiers (many of which are exclusive to Daily Dive)they're a...

First off: Really glad to see 𝔂'𝓪𝓵𝓵 liked THE JESTER UPDATE, and I can't thank you enough for all the reviews you guys left because of it 💖 (if you still haven't left one, now's the time boi)...but it's about time we got some new Modes, ain't it? One is like a massively-improved GG1 "CLASSIC", and the other is entirely new since it revolves around Deposits.Of course, no major update is complete without new mechanics, Guardians, Parts & Mods!Everything below has unlock conditions listed in-game in the CHECKLIST but if you already meet their requirements, you'll instantly unlock them upon opening the game!DRAFT MODE 🃏Genes have a chance to be RARE, EPIC or LEGENDARY (boosting stats or removing downsides).there's no heal button, bleaching, banishing, locking, storage, recycling, or moving anything around once picked!

🚨 "THE DRAFT & MINER UPDATE" (0.8.0) releases JULY 15th (in 3 weeks!)⚖ BALANCEIn general, I've been getting the sense that overall difficulty is a bit undertuned, so I'm buffing Microbes across the board (by a smidge) and making some Mutations more impactful/noticeable. Reminder that this game is in Early Access and that balance changes like this are both fair game and to be expected.Global Microbe Health +6.25%.Global Microbe Speed +6.25%.Mutations:Microbe Size +100%, Microbe Health +30%: Microbe Health +30% → +35%.because Microbes being twice as large often makes this a net positive, which is true most of the time (instead of just for some niche builds).Microbes with A DNA are extinct, Microbe Health +30%: Microbe Health +30% → +35%.I want you to actually think before autopicking this Mutation every single time, y'know?Microbes with G DNA are extinct, Microbe Size -30%: Microbe Siz...

🔨 FIXESI fixed a thing relating to your saved depth in each mode that seems like a big deal but it's hard to tell what actual effect it had - honestly pushing this update now just because of this. If you don't know what I'm talking about here, well, neither do I really - I never saw any actual bugs occuring, just saw a super important piece of code doing the wrong thing, so, 0.7.5 is going live now because I'd rather be safe than sorry.I theorize that it resulted in unlocks that check for victories at specific depths to not occur.DATABASE Chips & Mutations: text was showing "DATABASE_EXCLUDEDMODES" instead of "EXCLUDED MODES".the Offspring-removal Studies were incrementing Offspring removals when an Offspring simply leaves view (should only do it based on you killing it).💖 Please add a review!

I've been working on this one single Guardian for about as long as it's taken to fully implement every single other one. Maybe it's me that's the clown. I dedicate so much time and energy to this thing knowing full-well y'all might not even like it or maybe you just hate it. And like, I get it. It's a mess but it's also like, ya gotta be in the right headspace. Live a little man. Let yourself actually enjoy something for once. You don't have to spend your entire day being uptight. Ah but where was I: So, Jester, it's here. Just not sure if it should be. It quite literally wreaks havoc across my entire codebase. Like, not saying that as a joke, I have to...
