Dev-Com
Hello, world! Penkura is now patched to version 0.1.6.2
Patch 0.1.6.2 introduces the first stage of one of the core features. Planetary Map system, this system will be used throughout the entire game for traveling, exploration, research and resource gathering. Most of the tactical decisions, bot transfer and expansions will be decided from this map. For the moment player will have access to basic functionality only, after completing some of the already implemented missions. With patch 0.2.0 we will introduce planetary traveling that will use this world map and greatly expand its functions.
We also added player requested features to the game, improved buildings presentation, grid system, compass markers, minor UI changes and more.
The next patch will focus on new items, new bot functions, structures, and animations.
Although the current situation around the world is not halting progress made to Penkura, it is taking some of the time that we use for the development of the project.
We apologize for the slow down in development, we hope that situation will improve in a short time and allow us once again fully focus on the project.
