A few notes on this patch.
Due to my unfortunate crash and losing my progress, I was set back a bit.
Buuuut, after reviewing some older code and looking at my backups, as luck would have it, there was a backup that still had a good chunk of the other updates, before the meta-progression!
So for this update, you'll have some of the goodies that were in the Meta-Progression update, just not the Meta-Progression itself. But this is great for the main branch, as it means I can fix a really annoying bug!
[ 7.7.2022.1 ]
This is more-so a repeat of the CHANGE LIST, WATCHTOWERS, and the TUTORIAL sections of the META-PROGRESSION update.
:::::: GAMEPLAY ::::::
- The ESC key now functions in closing the various menus. If all of the menus are closed in the game, then this will open the usual options menu.
- The Castle recipe has been changed and no longer includes the Barracks as one of the components. Players were often getting confused when they saw the Barracks as a component, and ended up placing it down thinking they had to put the other cards onto it.
- The blinking red icon didn't work for everyone, so I opted to just put a blinking X over the Worker if they can't work on a certain building.
- You can now take screenshots using the overlay! As well as the screenshot shortcut.
- When you mouse over the combine button, it now shows which card you are about to make.
- The Rock resource node was shortened so that it didn't look like the Flyers would attack/run into it.
- The Flyers now fly higher. This may cause issues for some who liked to hit multiple air AND ground targets.
- The Barracks has been given the smaller flag to help show that the Flyers won't touch it.
- The Castle and the Watchtower have been made taller to match the new height of the Flyers.
- The Watchtower now has the Snipe ability. So long as it has archers inside, it can shoot!
- The Tutorials have been added! Use the clues of the past to find out how to navigate and survive this world.
:::::: BUGS ::::::
- I fixed a visual bug where the damage that spawned from monsters taking damage was too low from the ground.
- I fixed a bug where some recipes didn't reset after picking up and setting a card.
- I fixed a bug where some recipes didn't reset after changing saves.
And so, with all that said, and as usual!

I look forward to seeing more people join the community and share their thoughts!
I am still improving the game on top of the base I have, with the game currently being in a finished and beatable state! But I enjoy working on it and solving the issues with UX, so why not improve the game more?!
Until next time,
