Ahoy, engineers!
The bad news is: no update is coming out this week. But we can explain!
This week, we're very busy working on a brand new mechanics for researching. We don't want to spoil the surprise just yet, but here's a teaser: cat researchers will get their own Tavern (maybe even an Inn) at KOTOVOD, along with their own sets of skills. No, we're not planning to add any RPG elements (although who knows!), but the way we see it -- it's going to make researching new technologies more complicated and interesting.
We are hoping to deliver it to you next week! And as it usually is, the update will not be just about researching. Some new art and various improvements are definitely implied! Check out this fascinating fishing robot, for one:
We've also spent a good amount of time discussing future plans! The summary of our collective mindwork is this new and updated roadmap. Can you spot what's new?
Ok, here's a hint: we've added stuff to Stages 1 & 2! There will be mini quests, more communication from cats and another machine learning model. In short, it's gonna be awesome! Stay tuned for more news :)
Finally, we want to share a short fun video, explaining how machine learning works at Learning Factory (in case you don't know that already somehow):
That's it for today, but not for this week! We have another fun activity for the weekend for you, so make sure to come back tomorrow :) Until then, folks!
