Hi all, I've done a number of updates to Big Pharma over the last week, the majority of which do not affect the base game, instead they are allowing the base game to interface properly with the Marketing and Malpractice expansion releasing early this week (Tuesday, 26th April).
However, one of the tweaks I made to the shared code between the base game and expansion had a knock-on effect and caused a minor bug in the base game, therefore I thought I'd better post some proper patch notes to let you know what's going on.
Patch notes:
- Fixed bug where challenge 'Full Unlock - The Big Five' stopped working
- Improved balance of ingredient distributions. There are a few less ingredients in each scenario which will reduce the number of duplicate cures and also force the player to get new location research earlier.
- Added 'Reset Progress' button to options menu. This wipes all challenge progress and save games.
If you're curious about the second bullet point, this is a change I've also made in the new expansion and I find it much better from a gameplay perspective. While fixing the bug I decided it was worth pushing this change into the base game too. :)
