Hello folks!
How are you doing? Good I hope :)
I am still working in the next update (that BIG update I told in the last post) and I want keep you all informed about its progress.
So, long story short, what is done right now?
1) I've finished designing, drawing and animating the new buildings. That correspond to +14 new buildings (2 staff, 2 labs, 8 factories, 2 other)
2) I designed the new production system and I'm close to finishing coding it
3) I finished drawing and implementing the new scenario
4) I revamped the UI, adding the new elements to it
5) Finished planning and designing various new features
6) Finished the new time system (now you'll have a sales report at the end of the day)
7) Added the 4 new products
8) Improved the lab expansion feature, which in my opinion is far greater than it was before (now you dig it little by little)
9) Rethinking, planning and design of the new store and infection system
10) Added some Easter Eggs
11) Various other smaller things
Ok, but what is missing?
1) The new pathfinding to better fit the new features
2) Coding and designing the new elevators
3) Coding some of the new features
4) Coding the new infection system
5) Adjustment of the new features on the research/disease menu
6) Implement the new tutorial
7) Testing and bug finding/correction
I hope I'm able to finish all the last tasks until friday and release the update on the same day, but considering there are some tricky ones, I may have to delay it until next week.
As good news, it won't take until xmas, lol ^^
I hope you all understand why it is taking that long. But I am adding a lot of features/improvements that weren't planned when I first released the game.
However, as I always said, I do want to make a great game with your help (the players), and that's why I am working on these big improvements, mostly which were suggested by you! ;)
A little tease...
Oh... I was forgetting about that update steam released a few days ago. That wasn't my doing, I really don't know why steam updated the game, as it is using the very same package.
As far as I have tested the game, everything is ok, but if you guys encounter any issues, please let me know. And sorry for the sad news =\
See you soon!
