Dear Martians! ????
Welcome to another Devlog! ✍️
In this post we'll tell you about our plans for the next months, but also we wanted to let you know about current discounts and new bundles, especially interesting for those who haven't played our game yet.
1st information: Development Update. We are currently testing the next regular update which fixes some bug reports and improves mechanics of Nuclear Update. Next we will be focusing on the big changes for the upcoming Anniversary Major Update to be released according to our Roadmap.
Our first goal for the Anniversary Update is to address the most commonly reported pain points such us removing jerky movement, improving input responsiveness, animations & targeting. The next goal for this update is a big save system rework, which will finally fix the problems with re-appearing items, objects falling through floor or floating above the ground.
Another benefit will be that we will finally change the % electricity calculation to kWh and improve the building placement and snapping. It will also enable door position saving. We were waiting with this save refactor until now because it will render current game saves incompatible with future version, but we believe it will be worth it. This change is also essential before we introduce the Co-Op Mode.
That's not all, far from it! The refactoring will also touch the greenhouses and domes allowing to plant different types of plants in the fields together and we want to unify the numbers of slots between the incubator, shelves and fields.
Content-wise, we also have big plans for this update, but we will see how much we are able to implement before summer, so in terms of the list of new additional content - let it stay as a mystery for now... ????

We don't post this too often, but since this post is mostly about discounts it's a good time to remind you about bundles with our other games as it's the best support we can get to keep developing this game.
Pyramid Games Bundle is currently the best deal for those who didn't yet purchase all of our games:
