Hey dieselminers!
It's been a while since the last update for Ad Fundum was released and I'm still working on the New Game+ update. So, I wanted to share some details about update 1.2.0 with you.
What will this update include?
New Game+
What could be better than starting a new game, saving all your upgrades, items, and most importantly, the profits? Starting over again! In 1.2.0 update, you will be able to start New Game+, then – New Game++, New Game+++ and so on. The game will adapt to your mech with each new playthrough. Yes, just like in Dark Souls!
Infinite upgrades
Of course, it wouldn't make sense to have endless restarts without anything to spend your hard-earned money on. After starting a New Game+, you'll unlock infinite upgrades for your mech. Progress has no limits!
New special upgrades
And what is the point of starting a new game if there is nothing new to discover? That's why in New Game+, you will be able to find 8 new special upgrades. Some of them have insane effects!
Finally, there are small improvements, such as:
- Ability to use extra fuel tanks shortly after running out of fuel;
- New sounds for the treasure detector and for taking damage when your health is low;
- New visual effects to indicate when the mech is overheating or overcooling;
- One-life mode for those looking for an even more challenging experience;
- Option to turn off all story dialogue for those who know the story of the game already.
And many other minor improvements and fixes to make the game better!
When will the update be released?
Everything is ready, but there's still a lot of balancing and testing to do. It should take me 7-14 days to finish everything, but as you may know from my previous messages, I'm quite bad at predicting release dates :)
So I can only say the update will be released soon, but time is relative.
P.S. I would also like to apologize for the delay in releasing the update. Some issues in my life have distracted me from working on the game and, since I am a solo developer, progress has been halted for over a month. However, I am devoting as much time as possible to improving the game.
