The EA v0.61 update brings new music and villager models to the game, along with a few gameplay improvements.
What's New?
- New Music: 8 new tracks have been added to the game. I carefully selected these tracks to match the chill and peaceful atmosphere of the game.
- New Villager Models: The old villager models, which were my early attempts at learning game development, have been replaced with improved and polished models.
Changes
- Zoning Without Roads: The requirement to zone only next to roads has been removed. You can now zone areas even without road connections, enabling more creative settlement designs.
- Increased Influence Areas: The influence areas of buildings have been expanded: Education buildings: +40%, Fire stations: +25%, Police stations: +30%, Water wells: +50%. This makes the game slightly easier and reduces the need to build these structures too frequently in larger settlements.
- Herbal Medicine Production: The production rate of herbal medicine has been doubled.
Bug Fixes
- A caching system was added to prevent FPS drops when constructing water wells. Additionally, a visual effect has been added to highlight the influence area of water wells more clearly.
Towards the end of this update, a critical issue in the project files almost resulted in losing the project. Thankfully, I had a backup of the previous version. I hope I’ve successfully restored the project to its earlier state without introducing new bugs. If you notice any issues, please report them.
See you in the next update!
