Hey!
Here's a new demo update!
First of all, the UI has been completely overhauled! Thanks to the amazing artist I worked with, everything looks much more polished now. Global map, upgrade shop, deckbuilding, resources panel and more!
Next is the perk system. Now, every third research reward offers perks - powerful modifiers that remain active for the rest of the expedition. Some buildings can gain additional effects, demolition cost can be reduced and you can even draw 2 cards per turn with the right perks.
This demo version doesn't include new biomes, it's still the same old Upper Levels, Humid Caves and Magma Caverns. However, the pool of available cards has also been changed.
Regarding the future plans, I really hope I'll be able to finish the game and release it in May, but we'll see how it goes. Stay tuned!
