Hello everyone,

We hope you are having a wonderful winter time! We saw the snowfall this week so we are fully immersed in the Christmas atmosphere - as you may have guessed from the setting of the second planet available on Roboplant, we love snow!

December release went out nicely, it highlighted some deep problems we need to work on but we made a great improvement on the general gameplay experience and we are really happy you liked it so far. And of course, thanks for all the feedback you are sending us, they’re much appreciated.

In every release, we want to give you something new but we also want to improve what is already there and January fits the idea perfectly.



Here’s what we are working on:
We won’t spoil the surprise for you and write about this new feature with too many details but let’s just say that the ride is getting bumpy and you need to keep an eye out and be ready for new challenges. So roll up your sleeves and be ready, environmental events are coming to Roboplant!

We noticed from the saved files you sent us that many of you are working around the limitation of having all the rooms connected by corridors. This made us think: what if we are forcing something that isn’t necessary? That’s why from the next update you will be able to build rooms wherever you want even if you still need either a corridor or a ramp to give them access to the outside.

We know some of you had performance issues and this is not going to be the final solution but we hope that with the new release we will be able to provide you with a nice boost in terms of performance.

Workers getting stuck was another thing that is bothering you. So we are working on improving the navigation system so that they will get less stuck. Meanwhile please be patient. If your worker gets stuck you will need to free a passage to the spaceship so that can move around again. Having workers stuck can mess your base up.

This is all for now but will keep you constantly updated with the latest news. Have fun and please let us know what you think about the new features and improvements!

See you soon!

There have been requests for the game to show more of the lore. The previous update with the discoverable places was already part of the lore-building.

I have wanted to show the characters in the game for a long time in some way. I have previously internally experimented with different ways to show characters and dialogue, but the previous methods didn't feel good so I didn't release them. This way of showing characters is finally the one that I feel good about.

It is a bit more work to do the dialogue and lore this way, compared to for example just showing a static character portrait and text on top of the normal gameplay UI (which is also a good way to do it), but I feel this way adds more to the atmosphere of the game.

I hope that this feature makes the town feel like actual people are living in it. And I hope it's a nice feeling to know that you can visit someone in the town.

There is also a new "song" playing when visiting Juhani's house.

I don't want to make the game text-heavy, but I think occasionally showing characters and giving bits of information or building the lore is nice.

There is also a button to skip all the dialogue if you want to skip it.

--------------------------------------------------

Thank you all for playing the game and all your support.

Until the next update!

See you all in 2023!

Roadwarden!

Another small patch rolling in, this time focusing on text-changes in the main game, as well as some fixes, including an achievement fix for the Roadwarden demo!

Without further ado, here we go:

• Once again, a big chunk of text adjustments.

Some players who’ve played Roadwarden's demo encountered issues with Steam achievements in the full version of the game, as the achievements they should receive were not noticed by Steam.
The new version of the demo should avoid this issue, but the players who have already stumbled upon this bug can try the following solution:

1. Load your game that has at least a single achievement visible on the borders of the screen
   
2. Press Shift+O
   
3. In the console, write or paste the following: $achievement.clear_all()
   
4. Hit Enter, and escape to close the console again.

This should remove all the achievements that are attached to your Steam account, but then it should start reassigning them right away, as intended.


Once again, huge shoutout and a big thank you to all Roadwardens!
We really appreciate your ongoing support and continuous feedback to help us continuously improve Roadwarden!
Please keep it up!

• Now you can pass creep sectors in the expedition.
  However, depending on the enemy's power, a forced battle can begin, and the more times you pass the enemy, the more likely you are to be ambushed by the enemy.
  
  I was going to update this together during the Might And Magic update, but I decided to update it this time according to the feedback about the expedition fatigue.
  
  I hope it will reduce the time required for expedition and reduce combat fatigue.
