Finally, beta18! A new upgrade type, tweaks to a couple of maps, a new user flow which will (hopefully) make the game easier to learn, and a number of other smaller changes and fixes. The staged introduction to the game seemed to help new players get the hang of the rules at PAX. We did notice a handful of misconceptions that kept popping up, so we definitely have more work to do in that area.
Changes:
- Added interchange upgrade to first three maps.
- Hong Kong and Cairo are more challenging, which will result in faster games.
- Errors have been improved.
- Completely new users now automatically play an introductory game when the game is first started.
- Assets animate down to the asset panel when they're chosen on the new asset screen.
- Starting a new line with none left will now attempt to extend an existing line instead.
Fixes:
- Offscreen station spawns should no longer be an issue.
- Blur is more consistent across resolutions.
- Greatly reduced run-time memory allocations.
