Special Mode Design: Abominations (Patreon)

There's a new Beta 9.1 prerelease out, the same branch on Steam (so it can autoupdate--saves are compatible), and same DRM-free link. This should be the final version, which also includes some new fixes. There have been more updates to this mode than planned because I've had more time to play it myself recently, finding areas for improvement :)

In addition to what was listed in the first 9.1 prerelease announcement (including the couple of edits made later during silent updates yesterday), here are some new changes worth mentioning:

• Anomalies blink in a color that reflects their type, as well as leave temporary movement trails in that color.
• Matter labels are filtered out from the first attempt to mass label items on the map.
• Matter Anomalies produce Matter 33% as often as before.
• Non-Abomination/Anomaly robots created via Chaotic or Polymorph Anomalies won't be affected by Anomaly effects.

The official release is still scheduled for Tuesday.
