Dear Users!
Update news are here from Broken Universe development team.
Version 0.9.12 update has been applied.
In this weekly update, various convenience updates have been carried out along with the "Leaderboard" update. In addition, we have improved the basic EXP reward of the stage so that even those who have difficulty progressing through the stage can progress through the game by leveling up quickly. 😊
Before proceeding, all existing records were inevitably reset during this Leaderboard update. In the last weekly update, all stages were newly created and there were many balance updates, especially in this update, as there was an update that brought big changes to the game, so we have to reset it. In the future, the leaderboard will be operated on a trial basis during the Early Access period, and there may be more resets during that period, so please understand. 😥
Now, let's get to the details of the update. 😄
First, in the case of the Leaderboard, it applies to all difficulties and game modes of all stages, and it covers all information such as buildings and modules, skills, items, and tech-trees used, rather than simply recording the scores recorded by users. So, I think it will be important information to see what other users are playing with what combinations and their own settings. By clicking on each item, you can check detailed information reflecting the numerical values of various upgrades, modules, and technologies, and you can also view the entire tech-tree in detail. In addition, in the case of building information, module information, which had to be inferred numerically, was added on both sides to further enhance the visibility of information.
At the same time, there was one important change to the game: an increase in the number of building slots. We have expanded the number of slots from 6 to 8, and we expect that you will be able to use combinations that were limited due to the limited number of slots. In addition, in the process of applying this, an update was made to increase the convenience of the deck formation method, and now you can use the "Quick Setting" function by right-clicking each building, skill, or item icon in the Hangar menu.
Next, we improved the game layout to add future game modes. In the past, the Challenge Mode felt like a sub-mode of the hard difficulty, making the game's structure feel very unintuitive. Since the Challenge Mode itself is content that changes in difficulty, there is no separate difficulty setting, and it is based on the hard difficulty. This will also be true for other additional content coming in the future, so we've added a "Game Mode" setting to make this clearer. It is played by setting three difficulty levels, and it has been divided into “Standard Mode”, which includes “Star Collecting” content, and “Challenge Mode,” which sets and plays various challenges, so you can't now proceed with Challenge Mode and Star Collecting at once.
In addition, the direction and UI when using in-game skills and special product have been improved, and some balance fixes and bug fixes have been applied.
"Endless Mode" will be updated in the next weekly update. After the update, you can find it in the "Game Mode" settings. 🤗
Thank you for enjoying the game, and comments are always welcome. 💖
