More and more development on the mobile port: Some optional optimisations and touch screen interactions are the core of today's update.
Update 1.17
Additions

General Loading Procedure

The loading screen now shows precisely what it doing instead of what general file was last loaded
Now the game also frees resources that are no longer needed during the load process itself, lowering overall memory usage.
Low Memory and Low Shaders accessibility modes

Can be entered by adding "lowmem" and "lowsha" to the launch options on steam properties
Low Memory mode can reduce the total amount of graphic memory the game uses by 90%, but has significant impacts on game visuals
Low Shaders mode disables the heaviest shaders in the game, like clouds and blur
When opening the game on an Android device, both Low Memory and Low Shaders are enabled by default
New Ways of moving the camera

When not selecting any tile to place, the left mouse button can also be used to drag the camera around
If your device supports touch, you can now zoom in and out by pinching
Changes

Bounties

You now have to click them to gather their reward in fruit.
The main menu button now shows if a bounty can be claimed.
Now there is a fruit count in the bounties screen
Fixes

Fixed some graphic elements not properly scaling with UI scale
This includes tooltips, default game communication and subtitles
Small Fixes

Fixed Bazaar Shortcut on the death screen
Fruit gathering animation no longer is accelerated by animation speed
UI Sliding animation speed no longer is dependant on FPS

This update features tons of small changes and fixes as Verde decided to take every small task on the list instead of doing the big ones first. We also ran some tests for a possible mobile port, while we were able to make the game run smoothly on a simulated android, there are some changes that have to be made before it is possible to play the game normally on a touch-screen device. We also noticed that we didn't release the patch notes on steam last week, so this post will contain both of them
Update 1.16
Changes

Second Bloom Rework
Second Bloom now uses probability instead of being only dependent on your actions When winter ends, the chance is at 100%, and halves for every determined mutation purchased using flowers "Everbloom" mutation reworked to make the game roll for this twice instead of once Now there's a widget that explains the mechanic and shows the current probability
Reworked Cold Mists
Now uses a different algorithm in order to place the mists, this new algorithm should place and remove mist tiles linearly over the duration of the crisis That means that 2 days of cold mists now have very close to double the number of mist tiles of a single day Mist tiles now dissipate during the spring and summer instead of only summer, but it still dissipates faster during the summer The new algorithm recycles mist tiles between turns so that it doesn't flood the turn log
Small Changes

The two initial tiles are now completely indestructible
The Bazaar now glows purple if you have enough fruit to purchase anything
Changed outdated tips on the death screen
Changed default narrator cooldown from 120 to 15 seconds
Added a shortcut to the Bazaar on the death screen
Fixes

Fixed bounties tooltips being wrongly positioned on big screens
Fixed collection tooltips being wrongly positioned on big screens
Fixed the "Main Menu" button on the death screen restarting the game instead of going back to the main menu
Fixed winter costs not showing on turn log
Fixed achievements and fruit only being given to the player after the Freeplay prompt
Fixed narrator spamming only idle lines if narrator cooldown is higher than the idle timer
Update 1.15
Additions

Added a new Widget, turn log, that can be clicked to reveal everything that happened during the last turn
Added a narrator cooldown slider to the audio configs
Added a sign that informs the player about the widget system, it only appears when the right section of the widget bar is empty.
Changes

Sliders on the config menu now contain their current value below them
Moved speedometer and winter widgets back to their original position so that the new sign is visible to new players
Fixes

Fixed configs not saving when exiting the config menu
Fixed human greed accounting mist tiles as target tiles
Fixed human greed not updating properly when the turn started
Fixed human greed leaving parts of your tree red if it is interrupted

Recently we noticed that some features of the game were frequently going unnoticed by new players, so we plan on fixing these issues before adding more content to the game. Sadly these changes usually take time to plan and implement, so it is taking time, but we hope that what you can do within the game is more straightforward for our saplings.

While this update doesn't introduce any new features, it brings some well-needed fixes and balance changes to the table.
Balance Changes
With the change to how crises work, several mutations became useless after a certain date. To counteract this, some were limited to only showing up in earlier parts of the game while others were completely reworked, here is the list:

'A Mask for Every Leaf' no longer shows up after year 2.

'Touch of the Fae' no longer shows up after year 2.

'Wax-Covered Leaves' Reworked
When a leaf is going to be destroyed, it has a 50% chance of extending its life by 1 turn Still triggers on leaf destroyed effects, like 'Yggdrasil' or 'Resin Layers'
'Reactive Hydration' Reworked
Now an active mutation, can be clicked to extinguish all fire tiles Every fire tile extinguished this way costs 5 water Typo removed
'Pocket Apple Juice' Reworked
When a leaf tile is destroyed, gain water.
'Flapping Aid' Reworked
Can be clicked once per year to set the crisis of the current day to 'Parasites' Parasites give 1-20 energy and water when destroyed.
Other Changes

Repeated mutations now stack in a single card
Burls now has the number of Burls noted within your card
Speedometer widget default position changed
Winter widget default position changed
Fire tooltips now includes that leaves make fire spread
Fixed on-game-start narration starting when the game is launched

Additions

Winter Crises
There are 3 new crises that only come up during winter. They were designed to be relatively tame because winter is already rough enough, but to bring some new challenges.
Regression
Removes some of the most recent stems placed. This cannot remove all stem tiles of your tree.
Frozen Aquifers
Aquifers are randomly frozen. They unfreeze during summer.
Cold Mist
A new tile, Mist, is placed around the map. Mist tiles reduce heavily the efficiency of leaves.

Balance Changes

Water reserves now works properly with large amounts of water gained at once
Crises now last for 1 more day on Speed Sprout and Creation game modes.

Team's Thoughts
While the bazaar marked the beggining of the transition of the game from roguelike to roguelite, we noticed that we had two conflicting ideas about how to handle out-of-game progression: Unlocks and Bazaar. Our current plans are to unify them. To achieve this goal, unlocks were temporarily removed so they can be reintroduced later as bounties, generating fruit instead of simply giving you a mutation. We also want to keep exacly 100 mutations in the game as it starts out, so we moved a few mutations from the starting pool to the bazaar.

The Bazaar

Every winter survived, you gain a number of fruits proportional to the current year and difficulty.
In this screen, you can use those fruits to purchase things to help your tree grow.
There are currently only elixirs available, but we have some plans on what to introduce in the updates to come.
Elixirs

Can be purchased in the Bazaar for prices from 4 to 24 fruits.
They last one run and don't stack, but their effects can be quite dramatic:
Elixir of Steady Growth
For the first year, energy costs don't increase.
Elixir of Sprouting
Start the game with 100 energy.
Elixir of Moist Environment
Starts the game in a small island.
Elixir of Peace
