Scope of this page

A dated, attributed record of DEV UPDATE #3, including the first mention of a playable anomaly and of planned weapons.

The author and channel are part of the record: Matavatar published DEV UPDATE #3 on the official Beautiful Light Steam News channel on 2024-07-15.

The post mentions a patch in preparation for testing by Discord community members and content creators. It describes a test cycle, not a release.

Two of its subjects matter for the site's own sections. It speaks of the weapons the studio plans to include, and it gives what it calls an initial look at a playable anomaly. The word planned is the studio's own, and it is kept: neither a weapon catalogue nor a named anomaly follows from this post.

The remaining subjects are interface and presentation work: ambiance improvements in sound and visuals, a dedicated interface for anomalies, a new interface for the mag-check animation, and a new grenade system. They are recorded as named at that date.

The details were presented in a video. This site does not describe the content of a video it has not observed and dated, so this page records the naming and its date rather than the features themselves.
