Just a very short post to confirm that the launch of the fire ant update won't be occurring at midnight but at 6 pm UK time tomorrow, or approximately 23 hours after this is posted. Converted to some other times this comes out as:

1 pm: US East Coast
10 am: US West Coast
7 pm: Most of Europe
3 am on the 28th: Most of Australia

A quick search engine query should let you convert your own local time from the team's 6pm BST (British Summer Time).

Today we posted a quick tutorial video that should help you quickly get up to speed with some of the major new mechanics introduced with this update. It doesn't spoil anything that hasn't already been revealed, but if you're trying to keep entirely unspoiled you'll probably want to skip this one.



Roughly an hour before we launch the game, some of the team are going to do a livestream on YouTube going over some of the new mechanics, changes, and other such things. A quick breather before we push the button! Join us over there:

Added custom prompts in private games
Private games should run smoother
Score / Reward Bug fixes

Additions:

• Re-added round settings
  
• Added ability to make a game private or public within the lobby
  
• Added discord community links

Fixes:

• Fixed long names from overflowing in the lobby
  
• Hopefully fixed player movement from "sticking"

Based on feedback, we have added following improvements to our demo:

• You can now reduce or turn off comedic sound effects
  
• Screen shake effect has been improved
  
• You can turn off screen shake
  
• Tutorial for Interrogation gameplay section has been added
  
• You can turn off tutorials (in Interrogation and Clash of Arguments)

Fixed sound issue. Now the sound is saved.

The rival colonies now kindly ask to remove buildings from "their area".

A quite substantial patch of the demo:

• The tutorial is much larger now, with four opportunities for players to try out the core mechanics.
  
• The level history has been revised such that players might actually have a chance to understand what's going on.
  
• Red rods are brighter now when they are selected; blue rods are brighter now when the player is hovering over them.
  
• New keys for canceling: tab and backspace; new buttons for horizontal movement: bumpers of Xbox controllers; new buttons for vertical movement: X and Y buttons of Xbox controllers.

PS: After uploading, I found a tiny problem in the new tutorial (the graying of rods is not deactivated again when you go back over the point where it is activated). This will be fixed in the next patch.

Hello friends! Due to the fact that many people had to stay at home in isolation due to COVID-19, we decided to add another Let's Play Together competition in the middle of the week, just for fun-with different crazy levels and (alas!) no prizes. We think it is clear by now this extra LPT is a permanent addition too :)

The rules are the same: log in to our Discord server, keep it running, play a competitive level, complete it with 5 stars and have fun!
Visit our Discord server (#lets-play-together channel) to learn more.

This week's level is

Just open the game - there's a link right on the main menu screen.

Good luck everyone!
