Hello, Universe Architects!
We have been hard at work developing the next Cell To Singularity expansion... March of the Mammals!
We are releasing a beta build to test this new update. It is still rough, but the expansion has a number of pacing changes and new game mechanics that we want your feedback on!
How to Help with the Playtest:
This build is still somewhat unstable, and we advise you to wait until the public beta is released next week if you are potentially worried about losing any of your game data. We have tested it with no errors to our game saves, but better safe than sorry!
The closed beta password is: betabetabeta
Here are a few main features we are looking for the most feedback on:
Partial Controller Support
- Plug an Xbox or PS4 controller into your computer. Press any button and you should be able to start using the controller to interact with the game.
March of the Mammals
- Mysterious Glitch nodes populate the tree after your first Singularity reboot. Use Metabits to fix these glitches, which will unlock new branches of evolution on the Main tree.
- 6 Glitch nodes to unlock, which correspond to major branches of Mammal evolution.
- Over 40 new mammal evolutionary trait nodes.
- 27 Mammals to unlock in the Main Tree and Land Garden (21 trophy nodes and 6 generators).
- 35 Mammal achievements to collect.
- Unlock the king of the jungle to complete the next phase of Semblance's experiment within the Terminus Chamber.
- Sound effects play for all the major Civilization and Mars generators.
- Layout redesign of the Land Garden to accommodate all mammals.
- Nanobots Buy Mode is ultra fast. You can use this after a reboot sequence to re-populate your tree.
- Nanobots will only buy items that are in Camera View while on the tree.
- Camera system refactored to prevent you getting lost when you unlock a new animal in the garden.
- Also reduced the whiplash spin when you exit from the Camera zoom-in on an animal.
- While zoomed in on Camera mode in the gardens, the back and forward button should take you to the next animal (this is still a bit buggy).
Terminus Chamber Glass Nodes
- UI for the Semblance Reality Engine has been updated to incorporate the statistics page and the Terminus Chamber (with experiment progress data).
We hope you have an exciting and educational experience testing for March of the Mammals! Thank you for joining the Closed Beta.
