Early Access Update #6 - Off the Grid

The sixth update is a quick one, just before we head out to gamescom.

We polished the ground Grid, some UI elements and placed some new visuals in town. The buildings have a bit more character. They’ve all been updated, some more than others. Check out Daphne’s Saloon and the Workshop for example.

Quite a big change, however, is in the triangular grid that covers the ground. It has been polished, given depth and consists of more triangles now. We like this upgrade a lot, as it looks much nicer and gives the game a lovely feel.

Here are the specifics for Update #6:

New

  • Upgraded grid to cover the ground
  • Bio buttons to the Start game screen where you pick a character and start area.
  • Smoke particles when selling for the factories.
  • Tweaks in wagon behaviour to make them a bit smarter.
  • New/polished buildings in town: Daphne’s Saloon.
  • Basic Mole, without upgrades, now opens up 8 grid spots. (This is to counter the ‘larger’ grid)

UI

  • Score renamed to Profit in graphs screen.
  • Statistics now in Tab form.

Bugs

  • Wheels in the new Rig have been layered properly.
