• Minor visual improvements on construction chaos, barricade barrage & blissful builder.

• Very minor optimization improvements on all tables.
  
• Very minor optimization on main menu.

Greetings players! The new hotfix (0.8.33) is now live on all of the platforms. Please save your progress and restart your game client to update. You should be able to load normally and continue playing. If you have any problems, please let us know.

• Fixed the issue where settlers would ignore food and starve to death, despite having food present.

• Settlers would start to dismantle with nothing, and gain nothing as a result (except the XP), creating a loop in the process - this occurs if you dismantle more than one thing in a building (or if you put it on forever) - the first one will go as intended, but every next one will cause that issue. Right now, until we fix it - we suggest that you cancel that production and put the new one on queue. That reported fixes for some folks.
  
• Sound effects are missing for some actions like harvesting/mining etc.
  
• Particles during construction/production/harvesting/cutting can appear as squares.
  
• Sometimes, lag will still occur if a lot of animals are performing hauling. The only advice we can give you at the moment is to disable hauling for your pets in order to improve the framerate/settlers lagging.

DISCLAIMER: The experimental and the main branch have the same version of the game. However, on the experimental branch, we decided to keep the Dev version of the game, and that means that a Dev log with red text will appear from time to time. This will help us get more info from your side when crashes and bug reports occur. If you are annoyed by this, please switch to the main branch to experience the game without the red text.

Hello guys!

Last time I promised you photos of the damaged houses on our way from the subway station to the office, but I could not have predicted that Russia would decide to add some extra ones and destroy one more building that we pass on our way from the subway station to the office. They also hit a playground of the kindergarten which the daughter of our Founder Ihor Tymoshenko was attending before the war.

The destruction caused in spring (on our way from the subway to the office)
These photos are taken by me on Monday, June 27th.











The Sunday (June 26th) attack (the building is on our way from the subway to the office)
These photos are from the press. I saw the place from the street as I walked to office on Monday (27th June), but there was a police checkpoint and lots of emergency services hard at work, so I decided not to interfere with their work to take photos and took the Sunday photos from the press.







Here is the photo of a kindergarten Ihor’s 5-year-old daughter was attending until the war started:



Hard at work - no holidays

At Starni Games we usually follow all public holidays in Ukraine. Since the war started all national holidays (except regular Saturdays and Sundays) were suspended and are now regular work days. We follow the same rules to bear with the rest of the country and to catch up on what we have missed in the first month of the war in terms of production. This allowed our team to fully focus on work and catch up a bit on our pre-war plans.

A project dedicated to the War in Ukarine

We are all very excited, as we will soon announce a project dedicated to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. It will be fully free and we will not profit from it. It will also not be a strategy game, as you could have expected. It is a smaller scale project and it requires only a few people from our team to actively work on it, so it does not have significant impact on the speed of development of our other projects. It mostly requires our narrative team’s work. So, consider it a truly free to play bonus from our team while you wait for our key titles to release. It is also our story and the story of what the people of Ukraine are going through at the moment.

Stay tuned as we will make a proper announcement in the coming days.

With best regards from Kyiv
