The Project Genom team has posted its latest list of changes to the game and further revealed that things are progressing well towards Early Access. In this latest patch, most locations have been reworked with new lighting effects, quests overhauled, and bug fixes. In addition, the new player progression system has been added alongside a new location and new quest mechanics throughout the game world.
According to the team, many of these improvements were scheduled for February - March 2016 but a technical issue required movement of development resources to solving it.
