It's been a bit longer than I had originally planned.

So, with the last 2+ weeks being fairly disruptive for me, from personal computer issues to the multitude of other events that's happened, I’m finally ready to show the Hacking Update. 

This is a very short video preview, the update was originally going to be yesterday but I wanted to add some more general content to this update so it will be released next week on 7/29. 

Also, as this is one of my major milestones now completed, with this update's release next week the game's price will increase to 5 dollars.

Here's a short preview showcasing some aspects of hacking in OASIS: Tokyo:

There are 3 major new features in this update:

1. Cyberdecks, a new weapon type: These are customizable hacking devices that can interact with enemies and objects in the world with a variety of programs.
2. Enemy effects: Enemies can have a set of effects they are vulnerable to, which are randomized per enemy. These effects can be applied to the enemy through certain programs and can do a variety of things.
3. Exports: Laptops in mission areas have the chance to have useful information on them now. All information can be sold, but some of them can be used to influence the next mission in different ways.

On the timings of future updates after this next one: I’m not going to try to do updates weekly anymore - it’ll be ready when it’s ready. Future updates should generally be quicker than this was though. As always, keep an eye on the Trello for current update details.
