Hey there,
Yet another busy week here, but i've been patiently waiting to get this update out for you. I actually cracked a big problem with the previous build over the weekend causing really poor performance, so most of the improvements in this update are related to optimisation and hopefully making improvements to some of the problems many of you have been facing and trying to fix any big game-breaking bugs.
Thank you for being so wonderful and giving great feedback, please do continue to do so if you find any issues that haven't already been recognised. I renewed the forums earlier in the week with some guidelines on reporting bugs and suggesting new features, detailing how to be the most helpful and hopefully clearing up any confusion between people towards what has and hasn't already been noticed.
Another huge announcement is that I've been working hard on implementing something I'm sure you're all excited about ACHIEVEMENTS! Yay!
Keep in mind, we're in alpha, so they may be a bit unstable and you may end getting them re-set at some point should development call for it but I'll try my best to avoid that.
Right now there are 10 achievements available. Some easier to get than others, see if you can manage to unlock them all! One of the achievements is in regards to the brand new review system that has been implemented, bringing more life to the kingdoms that you discover. In the future I'll be advancing this further, but for now you'll be rated at the end of the year on your performance against the other kingdoms, see how well you can do!
I've also began the process to implementing trading cards, so they'll appear in the next few days.
If you experience any issues after updating be sure to REMOVE LOCAL DATA as this may cause conflicts especially with saving/loading.
