Wow a 30 devlogs !!!! I hope you like these :D If you got more questions about game feel free to ask me on our Discord server (links below at the end of devlog)
In today's devlog we will talk about a new town's inhabitant and some story about him !
Meet a Ronald Ferret!
In the world of Alaska Gold Fever, there's one character who's always up to no good: Ronald Ferret. With his trademark red hair and a reputation for being a lousy man, he's the kind of guy you wouldn't want to trust with your gold.
Ronald grew up in a small village on the outskirts of the game world, where he quickly gained a reputation for causing trouble. Whether he was stealing candy from babies or tripping up his classmates on the playground, Ronald was always up to something.
But when he heard about the gold rush in Alaska, Ronald knew he had to get in on the action. With dreams of striking it rich, he packed up his bags and set off for the great unknown.
Unfortunately, things didn't go quite as planned for Ronald. Despite his best efforts, he just couldn't seem to find any gold. He spent hours panning in freezing cold rivers, digging in dangerous mines, and even trying his luck with some shady voodoo stuff, but nothing seemed to work.
But Ronald refused to give up. He knew that there had to be gold out there somewhere, and he was determined to find it. So he kept digging, kept panning, and kept searching for that elusive nugget. (a real GOLD FEVER, eh?)
Work hard and live your life to the fullest!
And finally, after months of hard work, Ronald struck gold. He found a massive vein of the precious metal, enough to make him a fortune ten times over.
But as luck would have it, Ronald's luck didn't last for long. Just as he was celebrating his newfound riches, a group of bandits swooped in and stole all of his gold. With nothing left to show for his efforts, Ronald was forced to return home, empty-handed once again.
Always be yourself!
But despite his misfortune, Ronald never lost his sense of humor. He continued to cause trouble and play pranks on his friends and enemies alike, always with a mischievous grin on his face.
So if you ever come across Ronald Ferret in Alaska Gold Fever, be sure to keep an eye on your gold. You never know what kind of tricks he might have up his sleeve!
Charming guy, is he?
Bonus stuff !
Here you can see a new rendered building. What role will it have???? Who knows! But prepare a logo for it in advance ;)

Update 1.43 is now available online, bringing a multitude of content and improvements to enrich your gaming experience!
NEW MAP:
An exciting new map is now available for special operations, bringing the total number of maps to 20, with more to come this year! The "ARIAL Offshore Drilling" oil platform is located in the heart of the ocean and has recently been attacked by an enemy group.
This first vertical map of the game will require caution and strategy to gain the upper hand on your opponents. It consists of several levels, with numerous stairs and walkways providing access to objectives.
NEW TASK:
A new task, called "Encrypted Data", is now available in the mission menu. To succeed, you will need to recover an encryption key hidden on the map and then use this key to extract sensitive data. This two-step objective is perfect for discreet infiltration missions.
GAMEPLAY:
To optimize gameplay, several improvements have been made to make combat more dynamic. The revival and operator marking systems have been completely redesigned, becoming simpler and more efficient, allowing players to react quickly if they are attacked while rescuing a teammate.
As always, this update also includes numerous diverse improvements and fixes.
A big thank you to the entire community for your support and invaluable help in the ongoing improvement of the game.
Best regards, Helios

After a successful preseason, a careful analysis of the tournament play, and the invaluable input of our community we present you the following tentative balance changes. There are quite a few changes, so we decided to split them into 4 different posts that we’ll publish during the following weeks.
All these changes are subject to change and they are only informative.
I am pleased to say that DinoLife is still being worked on and the most recent update has a few key changes. The AI for the NPC's has been reworked and should provide better performance, the shops now have a user interface rather than a clunky buying system.
These changes should allow for faster development of the game, I am still very open to feedback and I am happy to implement the features I can into DinoLife to make it a fun and enjoyable experience.
I am also activating a 15% Sale for a week, as I gear up to add more items and clean up the features in the game.
We have prepared another level in which it will be a bit scary.
There are times when we are surprised by an unforeseen event. And then we have a problem. In such a case, we have two choices, either we call Mr. Wolf,
or we take on the job ourselves.
You have to clean the pool where the murder took place... Can you wash the blood off, mark the evidence of the crime and clean the pool? We have some new mechanics and improved water physics (according to your suggestions) 🙂 Check it out:
1) Pool full of blood…
2) Improved water physics
3) A dramatic crime scene that needs cleaning up
4) The distance of the karcher affects the pressure with which it washes
5) Mark all evidence of the crime
6) Mission selection hub
7) Don't forget to clean up
8) Everyone starts somewhere ;)
In the near future we will be working on: - new sounds - better and prettier water particles - new and more intuitive UI - new location, bigger pool, more tasks - elimination of all bugs
We invite you to comment, leave suggestions, add the game to your wishlist Don't forget to check out the free demo
