Version 0.2 came out last week and the minimal amount of bugs found is a good sign. There a a few small changes this week but not much. The biggest ones are the addition of background music (sound controls will be coming in 0.3 with the main menu rework, more on that later) as well as the removal of the requirement that cranes have line of sight down to their target. It felt like an unnecessary realism addition that had no real way to to explain to the player why it wasn't working especially given that the crane could move through object to get to it's destination. If the "feature" ever returns its will include collision on the entire cable from the boom but it is unlikely, as it will present significant problems when the second tier of crane tries to place things automatically.
As 0.2 is a major update to the game I have changed out the screen shots in the store and created a new trailer to highlight some of the new features.
If you have a cool screen shot and you wanted posted to the store feel free to send it [email protected] and If it is any good I will post it.
0.2 feels like the first version that is a complete game that has everything it needs to stand on its own, and while it is far from done, it doesn't play like an empty game anymore it plays like an early access game which feels really good to be able to say. So with that in mind it starts to be time to think about promoting the game. I will be doing some around the web where I can, but the best way is you. I can't keep doing this forever if no-one buys the game and I want to keep making the game as long as I can. So spread the word; tell your friends because word of mouth is the best advertising there is.
A word on sales/price; please be aware that there are no plans for the game to ever go on sale and the price is only going to increase so if you have yet to buy it or are planning to now will always be the best time. There will likely be a few dollar increase with the release of 0.3 in a few months.
Work has begun on 0.3 and it is coming along well. I will get into what exactly is included in the coming weeks.
