Note From Developer:
Thanks to everyone who has been helping test these initial versions. I've been able to efficiently role through most of the larger issues, with now the main issues present being more related to balancing.
I'll continue to monitor bug reports & deploy fixes ASAP, but I'm gonna start prioritizing actioning some of the feedback regarding the actual gameplay. Here is a list of what I'll be working on and rolling out over the coming week, alongside a number of other improvements...
- Adding a "resource xray" toggle (via a hotbar button or keybind) that overlays all resources that are contained inside of a resource building, to better help you understand where your resources are.
- Finishing the entity building settings, as there is a lot of critical information not being shown.
- A lot of balancing changes to turret & resource values. The values haven't been tweaked too much from v0.1.4, but now with the new library & database system it'll be far easier for me to analyze certain values and make more informed changes, instead of just shooting in the dark.
- Finalizing The Abyss. There were a few new things left out of the original test because they weren't quite ready. I want to get these out and into your hands this week, as soon as possible!
