Hi all,
Welcome to all the new players after the Steam Sale! The forum has been rife with activity lately, and that’s great. We figured that we would start off 2016 with an In the Pipeline article, but rather soon changed our mind and tried to get a small update in. One thing led to another and the update became quite large. Whoops!
The biggest changes include:
A Fast Forward button! This long awaited feature from the community is now in! Press and hold to speed up the game! This will be made available to players once you play levels that last a complete year.
We improved mightily on visualizing the thermal Gas expansion mechanic. So this should be a lot easier to understand. We’re also posting some Video’s with gameplay tips in the next couple of weeks. So look out for that. You can follow us on @gamious
Just to finish up: on Thursday (5 pm CET) we play Turmoil, LIVE on Twitch at http://www.twitch/gamiousdev So if you want to meet us, or ask some questions, make sure to visit or Follow the channel for future broadcasts.
Here are the specifics for Update #17:
New
- Fast Forward – Press and hold to speed up the game.
- Thermal Gas expansion – we changed and improved the visualization of the entire mechanic.
- Diamond extending play time – This was enhanced by 50%. So you can extend a level longer now.
UI
- Enlarged the clickable area near the arrows above the factories.
- Removed the (too) early ‘thanks for playing-message’.
- Fixed Jill’s texts after beating the game.
- Updated the HUD to include the Fast Forward button.
- Updated the Diamond in the HUD to show properly.
Bugs
- Fixed Crash on Spillage in the bonus level. NOTE This will only be fixed when you start a new campaign. This was the only way to avoid resetting the save game for everyone. Sorry!
- Fixed an issue where the Single Game seeds would not be exactly the same.
- Fixed AI bidding negatively on Stocks.
- Fixed an issue in the Money graph where the count would go negative.
