Klei Entertainment has released the first patch for the Early Access version of Invisible, Inc on Steam. The update fixes a few issues from the alpha.

Early Access Update 1: PWR Play - Patch Notes

It's the first update of Invisible, Inc since hitting Early Access. @jamesl, @Bigfoot, the crew and I have been really grateful for the enthusiastic response from all of you. Reading about your strategies is endlessly interesting, and we're looking forward to layer more and more interesting options and challenges as we continue development.

 In addition, we've thought a lot about the difficulty, and obviously read the myriad of comments regarding it. Invisible Inc is meant to be a challenging, tight, thrilling experience. You are a skilled yet vulnerable spy in a hostile environment, always riding the razors edge with each move being a crucial decision. We want to retain that experience, even for beginning players.
 
With that in mind, we've now split the difficulty into two settings:

Easy mode gives a bit more breathing room. Agents earn more money from guards and safes, each knock out lasts an extra turn, and crucially there alarm level 1 is now a warning level and doesn't increase the danger.
 
Normal mode tightens the belt. We've beefed up the game to make it more challenging: money comes in slower, and the firewalls increase more steeply as you go further in.

What this should do is allow beginner players to ease into the game, and gives expert players even more interesting decisions, especially later in the game, where currently a strong build can overrun the corporations.

Teaser for the next update:

The corporations are learning. They've had their top security complexes compromised more times than they admit on their monthly reports and had more of their secrets exposed than the budget was allowing for. New training facilities and security protocols have begun even as we speak.
