Hey Everyone!
Ethereal item drop UI
In our last post, we showed you the new Ethereal Item panel UI, but we were still finalizing the UI for Ethereal Item drops. We’ve finished that up last week and are now mostly complete with the UI and implementation.
Offline Progress
Offline progress has been a major issue we’ve been trying to tackle. In Clicker Heroes 1 offline progress was simple because it only needed to check what your damage was and how far that would let you go. With Clicker Heroes 2 it was a much more difficult problem because we wanted it to accurately simulate the Automator and using skills. Because of this decision we needed a way to make the gameplay the amount of time you were offline in a short amount of time.
There were a number of issues we had to tackle to make this possible, but over the last few weeks we’ve.
* Fixed an issue with offline progress that caused the game to occasionally crash when new environments were loaded
* Fixed a number of memory leaks that occurred during offline progress that would cause the game to crash.
* Rewrote and optimized a lot of functions, systems, and skills that drastically increased the amount of time it took to calculate offline progress.
First 5 skill tree nodes unlocked on Gild
A few progress updates ago we mentioned that we added an Automator Stone for the first World of Gilds. Now we’ve also made it so the first 5 skills are unlocked on Gilding which will allow for creating Automator builds that help you get through the early worlds of Gilds.
