Small Dev Blog
Hello everyone! Today I want to share with you the latest changes and new features. All of this is already available in the test branch, but I don’t recommend running it on your saves yet — there’s still a lot of work in progress, and something might go wrong and break your main game.
New Mechanics
- Added a Researcher machine: it studies parts and gives out a blueprint of that part. After studying it, you’ll be able to craft it, but you’ll lose the original part.
- Added a card re-roll mechanic: if the cards don’t suit you, you can re-roll them until your attempts run out.
- Introduced a bonus re-roll card: its rarity determines how many extra re-rolls you get.
Blueprint Changes
- Price increased (from 250 to 450).
- Chance of appearance reduced to 40% — they will be sold less frequently.
- Added new blueprints: now you can study all existing parts in the game.
Balance & Improvements
- Added night brightness adjustment — now everyone can tweak it to their liking.
- Increased global brightness (including during rain).
- Slightly strengthened shadows to balance the brightness increase.
- Canceling cards now gives not a fixed 100 XP, but 25% of the maximum XP required to reach the next level.
Fixes
- Fixed a bug where Mr. Daryl’s name in dialogues was displayed incorrectly.
Upcoming Events
- Preparation of locations for the Winter Event is already in full swing.
- Fixing old terrain bugs.
- Started preparing for Halloween this year. From now on, Halloween will launch every October.
Feedback
Thanks to everyone who leaves reviews — both positive and negative. I see all your comments and try to fix and implement them into the game. I don’t ignore feedback, I just sort it by importance.
I also wanted to make the dialogue text smaller for easier reading, but I need more time to do this carefully — I’m afraid to break something before the update, and this is very important.
When to Expect
All changes are already uploaded to the test branch, and you can try them out.
