Hello!
I've set a new build of the game live to fix a few issues.
- Fixed slow loading times (particularly for tutorials, but overall when starting new challenges, templates or campaign levels) due to replacing old types of blocks to the new smaller block type. Tutorials will be overhauled in the next proper update.
- Fix for stadium and pub showing 0 efficiency
- Fix for weird directory structure for Win 32 build.
The slow loading times was due to a slow conversion from the old larger block types to the current smaller one. I've now properly converted them permanently and loading should now be quicker overall when starting new templates or levels.
Also:
- Tweaked colliders for new decorations.
- Weightier building destruction!
Just some minor additions I was working on.
As for version 0.28 I've set the preliminary date to May 3rd. This is a bit later than I had first expected, but this is mainly due to an extremely heavy work load at my regular day job. Given the situation, It has become difficult to make proper progress on water blocks and new tutorials, while working under stress on several fronts. I simply need to give myself some space to work things through properly without a deadline looming just around the corner.
The main features I expect to have in the next version is:
- Water blocks.
- New tutorials and improved UI for newcomers.
- Some additional items and better UI using expandable sections in the budget panel.
- More entertainment buildings and additional props (billboards on buildings and the like).
I will skip the sunday devlog this week, but they will return as usual next week!
