The latest version of Flux seeks to expand upon what was working with the original game's release, introduce major improvements that could elevate the entire experience, and offer a revamped UI for some of the game's menus.

The biggest change is clear: the world of Flux is much bigger! Players now have a broader city area to explore that is full of more characters to interact with and a bunch of interactive "examines", a brand new component of the update that provides an additional layer of that fiction that drives the game's context. Fast travel options are now available from the new level select menu (your bike!) and hidden items and oddities can be found throughout these new areas.

Oh, and there is a fishing minigame too.

Previously, time would skip ahead a day if you took a job and returned back home. This caused some folks to repeat this process quickly in order to progress through the story. Now, a timer is used to indicate when it is ready for you to return to your home to rest in your bed to sleep and advance time. Taking jobs have a chance of adding a chunk of time to the timer based on the "follow up stories" that now trigger before returning home from a minigame.

In addition to new menus, tweaked UI elements and a host of fixes and updates to different modes throughout Flux, a brand new mode is available called "Groove". More akin to a traditional rhythm game, it tasks players with pressing the provided input at the right time. Completing a sequence of proper commands will provide a bonus of credits! The Assault and Armament modes have also been updated to include health points (instead of relying on the Flux resource), blocking and more responsive and impactful interactions with enemies. Numerous items and upgrades have been added and modified based on these changes.
