• A new cutscene has been added that takes in place between Practice Playground & Hectic Highway has been added to the Story Mode. ***

• The power-boxes on Charming Chopper & Hectic Highway have new sound effects.
  
• All tables with Racepipes have received minor performance improvements.
  
• The plunger firing strength has been modified and randomness has been changed on the following arcade tables: Barricade Barrage, Catch-a-Rabbit, Firing Frenzy, Scary Scorer, Soccer Showdown, Whack-a-Rabbit.
  
• Trial descriptions have been cleaned up on the following tables: Blissful Builder, Construction Chaos, Crazy Carnival, Graceful Games, Great Gamble, Hectic Highway, Magical Meadows, Practice Playground, Radical Railway, Silly Circus, Training Tracks, Wacky West, Wonderful Willows

***

Q: This is near the beginning, why was it added?

A: It was brought to my attention that the latter half of the game had the majority of cutscenes and that you play 4 tables in a row without any story in-between. This is to help with the game’s pacing. Not only this, but certain elements of the story were lost when converting the game from a 3D platformer to a pinball game and I felt this would help clarify a few things.


Q: I already beat this part of the story though, how does this impact me?

A: Unfortunately, you will not be able to access your current point in Story mode until you watch this cutscene. However, you can simply load it and click skip if you aren’t interested in watching it. Then simply quit out of Story mode and your previous progress will be restored. Sorry for the inconvenience.

- The Debug Tile behind the Player's house used to test Steam Achievements and Commands has been removed.

- The Tip Giver can no longer block the Player if interacted with South of the counter near the Fishing Guru.

- Gas Station Ghost errors have been fixed.

- The Digital Game Board error where you don't have to pay again to participate has been addressed.

- Applied a patch to address the goldfish error where 2 fish types can unintentionally appear.

- Applied a patch to address the clam fish error where a fish can unintentionally appear.

(Additional patches to the Fishing will be applied very soon this week as conditions have to be met for some fishing glitches to trigger. More testing is needed to thoroughly filter any remaining bugs.) ːportalː ːfishingː ːespressoː ːtl2engineerː

Hello everyone!

New skulls, Davy Jones and Mage, will be joining the Carleon Castle conquest.

Davy Jones, who is the master of the dead and the sea, will destroy Carleon’s soldiers with a great cannon, and the Mage will show its own fire magic to you all.

In addition to the New skulls, changes have been made for the ‘Unstoppable’ status of bosses. Also, ‘Freeze’ and ‘Stun!’ skills have received buffs and now users can search items more easily.

• Status Effect Resistance of bosses when afflicted by ‘Freeze’ and ‘Stun!’ increases for a moment and decreases fast as time goes by. (Duration of Status Effect decreases when Status Effect Resistance is high)
  
• All bosses do not become ‘Unstoppable’ except for some specific patterns.

Developer comment
We hoped that ‘Freeze’ and ‘Stun!’ would be a Status Effect applicable to bosses as well, but this made ‘Freeze’ and ‘Stun!’ much more powerful than we expected.
To solve this problem, we downgraded the skills related to ‘Freeze’ and ‘Stun!’, and also we made bosses become ‘Unstoppable’ when they were preparing to attack.

However this was not the best solution. This caused the tempo of the skills related to ‘Freeze’ and ‘Stun!’ slowdown and the ‘Unstoppable’ timing of bosses became much less intuitive.

Therefore, we are going to take new measures with the 1.6.0 update.
Now users are able to apply ‘Freeze’ and ‘Stun!’ to bosses at any time in most cases.
If the same Status Effect is applied consecutively, that Status Effect Resistance will increase gradually and this will give appropriate tension.

• From now on, users will be given multiple choices from the chests when defeating the boss.

• The number of Black Market Collector’s sales stands has increased by 1.

#Discussions_QuoteBlock_Author

Developer comment
Due to the 1.5.0 update, the number of items increased and it became more difficult to get items users wanted. With the 1.5.2 update, we took measures to relieve the problem.
This update will take additional measures in order to make it easier for users to obtain the items they want.

Hello everyone! Here comes our Devlog #2. It’s earlier than exception. I was thinking we should accomplish Q3 plan step by step recently. But obviously, things are not going exactly direct.

Don’t worry! Development is all right anyway. We are here just to announce something important to you.

It has been about 300 days passed since our game released in Early Access. We received tons of advice and feedback. Most of them fixed, and some still in process. Settlement Survival is getting better and better in a visible speed. All of this owe to not only our hard-working developers, but also dear players. Thank you and loving you!



Then it’s time to tell you the things really matter. And I’m starting from uncertain ones.

In our plan, the fully release will happen at 1 year after EA release. Now, our game still gets much space to improve. It’s not complete to us. So we can’t ensure we will achieve there 100%, but guarantee that our team work hard to make it as soon as possible.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1509510/Settlement_Survival/

On the other hand, the Q4 update road map is not clear now. But many issues which you players mentioned are added to the schedule and pushed forward. For example, we have 3-4 musicians now helping us to improve game music and sound effect; The designers are setting about overhauling tutorial, and handed over an excellent design; We are also improving game numerical status to make it more reasonable.


(this means: fixing.jpg—from our game designer group)

Maybe we could announce new road map later, when we make all things settled on schedule.

Uncertain things are about talked out here. Now I’m telling you some definite matters. This blog is supposed to release on the day Steam Survival Fest begins—yes, Steam sorts Settlement Survival in “Survival” but not “Simulator”, I’m not surprised at all.

PS: we will revise game price immediately after Steam Survival Fest.

Another matter about game content which should be paid attention is our update a little bit earlier before the blog release. Do you still remember the promise “happiness and health system will be overhauled” mentioned in Devblog #1? That’s it. As the update blog is telling, the “H&H overhauled” update has been released in alpha version. You can have a taste now if you right click Settlement Survival at Steam client, chose “properties” and then opt “alpha” beta. We will also collect bug reports, crash reports and players’ feedback to fix as quick as we can.

WARNNING: The very most important matter is that old game saves will NOT work on “H&H overhauled” version.

In the past, we made great efforts to ensure players’ saves are not influenced by our updates and improvements. But today we must make a difficult decision.

The reasons why we are forced to abandon old saves are many. First, we are hard to get rid of more and more old fixes and updates, they may cause cross bugs. Secondly, the functions we would like to create are more core than our imagine. So we changed lots of basic game blueprints and codes in the process of overhauling H&H system. The new H&H system got big change on data structure, overhauled algorithm logic, and our developers surely overwrote the underlying codes. Those influenced many genres of items and the whole technology tree.

As a result, new game version gets millions of differences from old version. we must decide.

However, we know that players are in love with your own town. So we will release an extra “beta version” to support players’ old saves. You can check the words at the end of this blog to make sure you know how to get it and return to your old town after H&H overhauled update release.

Now we come to some details in the “H&H overhauled” update.



On the most concrete and perceptual surface, we got percent numbers and influence element explanation in the module of H&H, at status bar.



We finally say goodbye to “ANNO CAN-OR-CAN’T”, get specific numbers there. You can easily see and seize the H&H system, then adjust related technologies, buildings and productions. You also get a new module in citizens’ status which showing their needs you mustn’t ignore.



AAAAAAAAnd, we finally bring toilet to our game: now the shxt will appear around the living houses of citizens—welcome to the Middle Ages! That’s a big problem for citizens H&H. But you can solve it by unlocking the technology “latrine” in line #1, column #1 of livability, and build a common toilet for citizens.



Besides, our promise about the building model optimizing is also going on in an orderly pace. After this update, you may find a lot “new” buildings appear in your town.

Finally, Settlement Survival enabled console in game, you can use “shift+~” to open it. The codes which you can type in the console and get some surprise will be written in our blogs. [code#1:XXX]

BTW, we made lots of furry Idle Chickens for our community, but few players joined our event and won them. Don’t regret that now, the players won the Idle Chicken will have one extra mystery console code!



Besides all big news above, we certainly have more updates and improvements in the “H&H overhauled” update. In the future, our new UI, music, action art, language support will be updated/improved one by one or together, too. Thanks for your patience! We would like to make all of those come out sooner! To guarantee that, Gleamer Studio works hard today and every day!

Wish you have a good time in our game!

FYI. The gift for the winners in “most beautiful town” activity is shipping now! There are an Idle chicken and a card which signed by all Gleamer team members in the package!

Hi, my friends!

The balance of the units is a major topic discussed recently. Due to the appearance of the artillery, the value of agility has been greatly reduced. The weakening of submarines has also greatly reduced the value of diving. Therefore, in this update, I reduced the weight of some values and adjusted all units. The result of the adjustment is that the cost of most submarines, mecha and fighters is reduced or their stats are improved, and the damage of melee weapons is slightly increased, and the power(hp) of the artillery is slightly reduced.

Gameplay improvement:

1. AI will no longer use power shield to block the attack of EMP.
2. The policy Shield Energy of Southern Principality is modified to Shield Enhance, and the effect is adjusted.
3. AI will now remove unusable buildings.
4. When the Imperial Foe borns, all imperial factions will immediately terminate diplomatic relations with the Imperial Foe and start fighting with them.

Bug Fixed:

1. Fixed a bug that player can offer gold or supplies to other factions to improve the relationship when the gold and supplies less than 1000.
2. Fixed a bug that the policy Gold Diplomacy did not take effect.
3. Fixed a bug when using map weapons.
4. Fixed a bug that AI artillery can sometimes attack after move.
5. Fixed a bug that the flagship of Gongshu Miao used EMP gun without animation.
6. Fixed a bug that the star sometimes flashes incorrectly when the commander is promoted.
7. Fixed a bug that some tactical skill did not work to increase the movement of the units.
8. Fixed a bug of incorrect display of some chip effects.
9. Fixed a bug that AI can be equipped with same chips.
10. Fixed a lane data error.
11. Fixed some icon errors in the unit collections.
12. Fixed the tip error of healing.
13. Fixed a bug that launching torpedoes does not consume energy.
14. Fixed a bug that the reduced chip cost of Nikos' talent was not correctly displayed on the interface.
15. Fixed the dialogue error when the Eastocean Fleet and the Eastocean Fleet perished.
16. Fixed a bug that Kleven's collection was not unlocked correctly.

See you next update!
