Here is the v0.7.4 update, lot of small fixes. But also significant performance improvement thanks to a unity update ; hightlight of all the depots in range when you build something ; and a useless but nice "follow cam" on vehicles.

- Follow cam on vehicles
- Updated unity to last LTS version (2022.3.16f1) - better performances
- Improved road building when owning only part of the road length (show the buildable part in green, and build it)
- Switch to physical keyboard inputs (it could break some custom bindings)
- Building destruction fx
- Straighters roads on build
- Items icons in color

Balance & tuning:
- Modified some item colors in zoomed out view

Bugs fix:
- Fixed remove stop in pause
- Fixed speed x5 tooltip
- Fixed road count feedback at build if building over existing road
- Fixed UI bug on some UI scale
- Fixed objective text size
- Improved city renaming
- Fixed waste disposal "full" indication
- Fixed shining roads

- Upate localisation from crowdin

Over the past few months, a significant effort has been directed towards making every aspect of Numb coherent and cohesive. It's been a journey of meticulously crafting the art style, ensuring it not only creates the right atmosphere but also aligns seamlessly with the gameplay.



A key aspect of this endeavor was the implementation of dithering, a technique used to create texture and gradients in pixel art. The choice was not just for its aesthetic appeal but also for its ability to subtly conceal elements beyond the player's immediate reach, enhancing the game's mysterious and immersive environment.



The game's menu underwent a comprehensive overhaul. I redesigned each tab to be stylistically consistent and to accommodate the final system features that were in development. This was an essential step in ensuring that every element of the game felt integrated and intuitive to the player.



I've also reorganized the game elements to ensure clarity and sharpness, but only when the player is in close proximity to them. This approach adds a layer of depth and discovery, encouraging players to explore and interact closely with the game world.



In non-development-related news, some publishers have shown interest in Numb. I'm currently discussing a couple of potential deals, which could help in increasing Numb's marketing reach - discoverability is a real pain in the a** for any indie dev without a budget.

If you want to help, consider following Numb on social media and spreading the news to any moody friend of yours looking to make their day worse by playing Numb.

The main focus of recent updates was on improving the economic aspect of both passenger and freight transportation. A lot of work was done on streamlining train creation and editing processes. The Research section got a big update, a softer transition between eras was introduced. Several important tools were added as well, two new maps were introduced, and some visual improvements were made. Here is an overview of the changes since the last announcement.

New stuff:

• One-time contracts are now displayed on the map
  
• Added ability to change one-way rail direction during station or depot during construction/edit
  
• Added zero start for economy data logs
  
• Added data selection slider instead of only showing the last quarter
  
• Added data time scale for company-related graphs
  
• Transfer passengers have boarding priority
  
• Passenger loading is made proportional to waiting amounts
  
• Added "Mouse movement" option to enable/disable camera movement by mouse
  
• Unlockable locomotives and wagons have an availability duration
  
• Research points amount is limited to current era max usable points
  
• Updated train Power-to-weight labels
  
• Added an error icon when the wagon count is too low
  
• Added bridge limitations icons
  
• Added auto wait time option for passenger and freight trains
  
• Added error when construction is out of map bounds
  
• Added ability to remove multiple signals at once
  
• Added colors to boxcars, cisterns, and closed hoppers based on the carrying cargo
  
• Added icon for regional passengers

Maps:

• Riverrun is a small (33 X 33 km) map that represents a valley with a river in the middle with mostly agricultural industries.
  
• Pluma Island is a medium size (131 X 131 km) map. The island is elongated and uses only a fraction of available space which introduces challenges in expansion. Industries are leaning toward machinery and heavy industries.

Fixes:

• The "Show route" button is inactive when cannot be used
  
• The train will not load if the next station on the route is the same as the current one
  
• The signal 3D model size increased and the position adjusted
  
• Fixed train balance log saving
  
• Fixed passenger station collision model
  
• Fixed Leather production facility not appearing
  
• Fixed research point display
  
• Fixed route updated on wagons change (stop/start positions were not updated)
  
• Fixed next-stop display on save load
  
• Fixed block-lock calculation algorithm (sometimes it triggered in wrong cases)
  
• Fixed unpause during train error (was locked)
  
• Fixed incorrect industry growth
  
• Fixed one-time contracts breaking
  
• Fixed depot price calculation
  
• Fixed incorrect train "Route profit" label value
  
• Fixed absent passenger transfer between stations in some cases
  
• Fixed passengers not being picked up at the station
  
• Fixed regional passengers not wanting to board if the next station is not the destination while the destination is present in the route
  
• Fixed one-time contracts not activating
  
• Fixed cash level going off the bar in the taxes panel
  
• Fixed economy graph columns not aligning
  
• Fixed incorrect error order when a train is severely underpowered
  
• Fixed load upload station options behavior
  
• Updated tractor cargo model
  
• Fixed load/unload options not working in some circumstances
  
• Fixed station load/unload when the route has multiple stations connected to one city
  
• Fixed reputation exploit when multiple regions could be opened when time is paused
  
• Fixed train blocking another train from behind on some occasions
  
• Fixed incorrect signal position
  
• Fixed Alco PA model
  
• Fixed boxcar wagon model
  
• Fixed error on rail deletion in some cases
  
• Fixed the waypoint setting button not being accessible in some cases
  
• Fixed trains waiting indefinitely in auto-wait mode
  
• Fixed freezing on route update in some instances

Currently, I am working on the locomotives expansion list and I started to plan the next big update.

At this point, it looks like it will be more about new features and capabilities related to cities. Also, I would like to develop a majority of tools that are needed for the introduction of realistic maps. Another aspect is visual fidelity, especially biome variety. I want to add more assets that would improve visual quality. This does not mean style changes but rather a more diverse look with less amount of repeating assets. These plans are subject to change. I will keep you informed.

Big thanks to all of you. I am very grateful for your feedback and support.
