Hi everyone,
Better late than never, but here it is: Devlog number 50!
Localizor has been updated and we need your votes!
We recently shipped a big update to Localizor, our community translation tool. We realized that having moderators for each language was a huge bottleneck. Instead, we made everyone a moderator by simply asking you to vote for the correct translations.
You can start voting right away: https://app.localizor.io/game/1/translations
As you go through the translations, you'll gain 1 point per vote. Later on you'll be able to convert these points into exciting gifts. I can't show it just yet, but I'll promise it will be worth your time and effort :schappy:
Outsourcing: Component/Module demand
A new parameter has been added when bidding and receiving bids for outsourcing tasks: Demand. Next to each component/module you'll see a red, yellow or green indicator. Green means low market demand, red means high market demand.
The higher the demand, the higher the price. Demands are dynamic and change based on the state of the game and how you play (or what tasks you create).
Outsourcing: Market Prices
A new tab has been added to the outsourcing menu, allowing you to see current prices and demands for components and modules. This view will allow you to make clever choices based on the demand and prices of specific components/modules.
Another round of performance optimization
We've been working on improving performance. This time the code that update overlays has been improved. In my specific test case I went from ~20 fps to minimum 120 fps, so that's quite an improvement.
iTzCallumUK's quote describes it too (the pause issue has also been fixed):
Beta 26 ready yet?
No, not yet. We still need to complete various things, such as:
- Testing and improving outsourcing for the later stages of the game.
- Added tool-tips and improved usability/UI for outsourcing.
- Translating new strings (they are not ready yet, I need to complete the tool-tips first).
If everything goes well, my guess is that we're able to release the new update on August 16, 2019! :schappy:
That's all for this week.
All the best,
Jonas
