Few months ago, we published on itch.io a very first playtest of a modular building system developed for Pir4te project. Pir4te is a solo dev project created by Sw4n few years ago.

Since this Pir4te Playtest, YaourtNature joined Sw4n, and we started working on a new project: Bucko.
These last months we improved a lot the modular building system from Pir4te, and we also created the new artistic direction of Bucko, with new assets and new workflows.

Today, we are super glad and happy to announce that finally, the new modular building system playtest is open, directly on Steam! 🔥
It's been a long race, and there's still a lot to do, but nothing makes us happier than working with passion, and sharing our work with other passionate.

This playtest is not a demo. Despite our best efforts, many bugs remain to be found and fixed, and there are many areas for improvement. Please help us to find them, help us making the best possible modular building system!
Keep in mind this playtest is focused on the modular building system, it does not contain combat, multiplayer, navigation, customization, NPCs, etc.

The best way to give us your feedbacks is to join Bucko's Discord, where you'll also find all updates about the game developments, important announcements, chat channel with the community, etc. We also plan to create a little screenshot challenge, so get ready to build your most beautiful homes!

All this would never have happened without the support you have been giving us for months, and without the support you have been giving Pir4te for years. The big family of gamers is beautiful, and we're super excited to be doing our part. We remain humble and unpretentious, and hope you will appreciate our work.

Please enjoy it ❤️

We have been working on a new addition to our Attack at Dawn series of games for a while now. What we initially thought would be a DLC update evolved into a concept for a full-blown game. We thought about it for months, making experiments and prototypes, and finally decided to make a brand new game and move to the EASTERN FRONT!

We are designing a game about the southern section of the WW2 Eastern Front. We are still deciding on the scope of operations, but we will probably have scenarios for Barbarossa, Case Blue, Uranus, Donets & Kursk operations.



The new game will be all we have planned for General Staff DLC and more. Here is a list of some of the features of the game:

• the entirely new game engine, with full 3D terrain and units
  
• complete UI rework, making it easier to use and understand
  
• dynamic campaign
  
• general staff functions: logistics, intelligence, operations, engineers, personnel
  
• beautiful illustrations throughout the game
  
• improved animations, and more of them
  
• improved sounds, and more of them
  
• full soundtrack

As you can see, it's quite an ambitious project and will take longer than we thought. But it will be worth it and turn this series into something fantastic!

In addition to this, we started a joint venture with Seleya Games to create a comic-book-styled board game about espionage, warfare, and nuclear exchange in Europe. We love to work on board game and video game projects in parallel, as it makes us more on the "designing edge".

If you wish to follow updates on all our projects more closely, please go to our website and subscribe to our newsletter: https://www.panzerdivisiongames.com/

We issue it on a monthly basis, and it is the best way for you to follow and support our work during these long periods of development.

That's it for now. Have fun playing the game, and see you on the desert sand!

Nero, the infamous emperor of Rome, joins the ranks of playable historical figures in Time Survivors: Prologue. Armed with his trusty Fireballs, he's ready to burn his way through the game's many levels. While his reign over Rome may have ended, his quest for domination has only just begun as he travels through time to face off against fierce dinosaurs and other memorable foes.

Dear Onbu Riders,
Good news! We have just released a new update on the TESTING BRANCH 🙂

Lots of new stuff in this one 😀
- Hostility modifiers which will challenge even the best players among you!



- Building upgrades which expand the techtree and allow you to adapt in different ways



- Decorations as a new need for your villagers and a way to personalise your settlements



Here is how you can access the update:




Please note that builds on the testing branch might screw up your game saves!
So if you want to make sure, better make a backup first. How to access your save files info.

Here are the patch notes:

New Features
----------------
- Hostility System: before starting a new game, you can pick from a variety of modifiers to make the game more challenging!
- Building Upgrades: you can now unlock upgrades in the research tree (currently for 6 buildings) that you can then apply to your buildings to enhance them in various interesting ways.
- Decorations: place beautiful structures to increase the happiness of villagers inhabiting nearby homes. Decorations can be unlocked in the research tree.
- Onbu Pharmacy: a new building that is used to create medicine for Onbu from a variety of ingredients, offering more interesting choices in how to care for Onbu.
- UI scale slider in the settings


Improvements
----------------
- Mycologists can now cultivate healshroom, a mushroom used for making Onbu medicine more efficiently
- Press shift while hovering over a building to copy the selected building and place a new one
- Amount of villagers that join from settlements now depends on your villagers' happiness
- New decision events for poison forest and shrine locations
- Roads don’t get destroyed by poison plants anymore
- Priority can be set directly while using a tool
- Poison resistance provided by buildings to employees is now shown
- Removed lines on world map between biomes of the same type


Bugfixes
----------------
- Fixed a bug where buildings could be disabled even though it was not allowed
- Fixed bug where the wrong reasons were logged when Onbu rejected a horn command


Balancing
----------------
- Air well now requires one worker by default, increased production speed
- Feeding and sleeping spots can’t appear at the very beginning
- One feeding spot will always appear near the beginning, just in time for Onbu's first hunger
- Novice Difficulty: more starting resources, more Onbu poison resistance, slower toxic plant spread
- Veteran Difficulty: fewer starting resources
- Buffed Liquid Onbu Food: 25% → 35% hunger restoration
- Added inefficient recipe to make Onbu food from berries in an emergency
- Added inefficient recipe to make mushroom stew from mushrooms in an emergency
- Mothertrees don’t spawn anymore. The Tree Nursery now gathers saplings from regular trees instead.
- Reworked the research tree. Added a fourth category, “Farming”, and put a focus on offering more control over the order of research to prioritize items based on current needs.

We’re super curious to hear how you like the new update, so please let us know in the comments or on Discord!
