We also have a couple of hotfixes that will be pushed with this announcement, along with some information on future updates - read more at the bottom of this post!

Without further ado, let's get into the showcase of these amazing rafts:

Congratulations, and thank you so much!

We are super happy to see so many of you participating in our event, and it has been nothing but amazing to see the community gather and create amazing creations. Congratulations to all the winners, and thank you for participating to everyone else! We hope to do a lot more events in the future, so stay tuned! :)

Hotfixes and future updates

We know you want updates, and rest assured we are still working hard on a larger update for you guys. We will publish a development blog this friday, showing and explaining our current process, teasers and much more exciting things!

The following has been hotfixed:
- The discord invite link on the main menu is now working again! Thanks for notifying us. :)
- Fixed a bug with scuba gear where it would mystically repair itself when equipping it again.
- You can now properly crouch in both directions in tight spots!

We've reverted to the previous version as there was an issue with rafts disappearing in the newest update. Sorry about that. This is now resolved and a new update is out.

That's it for now!

Update #7: Minor bugfixes

PAWARUMI - MsK`

The image text might ring a bell to a few musicians but it's just a joke, the music of the game didn't change, I just had no idea what to write :D

This update addresses a few very small bugs we noticed since the previous one.

Patch Notes

Tutorial is not mandatory anymore
Fixed confused trinity UI when firing the super attack
Fixed reset local leaderboard button not working
Fixed very rare case of boss warning staying stuck on screen
Added more kickstarter backers to the in-game credits

Government Simulator 1.3 update

Government Simulator - Ambiera

Government Simulator update 1.3 is now available.

This update adds cheats (possibility to circumvent the implementation effort points mechanism), a new law, gameplay tweaks, and improvements here and there. Details:

New law: Plastic bag ban
In order to reflect current developments, the game now has a new law to select: 'Plastic bag ban'.
Also, when you start a new game with France, the plastic bag ban law will be active there to reflect France's bag ban starting in 2016.
Cheats
There are now cheat codes in the game. If you play though the USA scenario and finish it successfully, cheat codes in the game will be unlocked. The cheat code 'NOMORELIMITS' entered in the game will give you 100 implementation effort points.
Note that if you already played through the USA scenario previously before this update, you need to do this again to unlock cheats, unfortunately.
Debt Explained
There is now an explanation in the statistics tab on the "debt" entry, explaining how the current debt was generated.
It shows the old debt, the defict and the interest which had to be payed on debt. This makes it probably a bit more clear for people not understanding that their debt sometimes would not be reduced although they had a negative deficit.
Crime rate adjustments
Crime rate calculation has been adjusted a bit and factors such as tax burden, income, unemployment rate, police budget, prison budget, punishment rate, alcohol ban, torture, surveillance and similar influence it a bit differently now.
The description of implementation effort points now also shows that a lower game difficulty gives you more points.
Fixed a problem when dragging game window accross multiple screens.
Various minor gameplay tweaks and improvements here and there.

Hope you'll like this small update. If you want specific new features in a future update, don't forget to post this into the discussion forum (the comments section below this news is a bit difficult to use for discussions). Further feedback is welcome as always!
