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.
The source is a dated official announcement
The source identifies its author, its channel, and its publication date. Those three coordinates stay visible so the page cannot be read as an undated current status.
