Hey everyone!
We've had a super productive two weeks and made a ton of improvements!
AI Love
The AI got some love and is way smarter now – you should notice a big difference in how it behaves.
HUD Updates
We’ve added new, easy-to-use ability buttons on the HUD and gave the radial movement menu a fresh new look.
Steam Achievements
Steam Achievements are here! 😁 We're not 100% happy with some of them yet, so they might change, and we’re planning to add more in the future, so stay tuned!
New Hotkeys
New hotkeys are in place to make it easier to select Smelogs and filter through them.
Trap Damage Adjustment
We adjusted trap damage since unit avoidance and collision are still turned off so traps were way too strong for now, so we toned them down a bit.
