Prospector - Loonworks Games
How does the Cropping feature work?

Harvested seeds can be planted wherever you like as long as they have space to grow.



Continue to increase your shipping level to unlock Terraformers and Composters. These structures can be used to generate fertilizer for increased crop quality, and rich soil tiles that speed up the growth and fruiting of plants.



A new Progression System and Shipping logic
This update takes the game's existing content but provides a more engaging leveling experience where structural blueprints are rewards for increasing your shipping rank. As the game is updated and new structures are added, these rewards will increase, providing more content and unique experiences so you always know what you're working towards.



An Improved game interface makes item selection easier and more intuitive
The old Quick Slot system which limited players to 4 items has been totally redone as an infinite toolbar. Items from your inventory will be displayed in your toolbar automatically as they are collected, so there's no need to assign anything, and you can get back to enjoying the game.



The new "Sweet Spot" mechanic
After collecting 100+ resources, the laser tool can start to feel a little dull. To spice things up, certain resources will have a "sweet spot" and if you maintain contact with your laser for a period of time, you'll be rewarded with a burst of extra resources. Laser smarter, not harder!



How can I get more involved?

  • Improved the shape of the first floor of the office building
  • Increased difficulty of avoiding snipers
  • Adjusted the rays of the UFO
  • Changed so that enemies can launch in succession
  • Adjusted title BGM
  • Changed wheelie tilting direction backwards (if you pressed the stick to the right, the kei truck was designed to tilt to the left to do a wall run, but this could be confusing, so it was changed)
  • Removed force feedback due to fast movement (as it tires the hand)
  • Added color to building window glass
  • Changed so that columns under elevated tracks can be destroyed
  • Adjusted collision of kei truck rally course
  • Replaced the lengthy demo stage that took 7 minutes with a shorter stage
  • Changed hitstop time to decrease when hitstop occurs continuously (because it was stressful when blowing up a lot of cars)
  • Changed guardrails and fences to be blow-off objects (they didn’t look so good when destroyed).
  • Changed to not play the tutorial if you used nitrous just before the nitrous tutorial comes up (should improve the tempo if you are good at it).
  • Changed smoke to be translucent (it was dirty with the mask material)
  • Improved so that the same conversation doesn’t play back in succession
  • Changed so that you don’t do a wheelie unless you input a wheelie (this way drifting is more fun)

  • Added support for rotation in the process of destroying building walls
  • Changed so that the speed does not slow down when hitting a car (made it less stressful)
  • Increased the difficulty of avoiding missiles
  • Changed the demo version so that you can choose to continue from the beginning (it’s hard to start from the beginning after a crash)
Fixes
  • Brown bear stage
    • You can attack many times around the place where the brown bear missiles appear.
  • The camera becomes too far away when the missile is destroyed while stopping when there is an enemy that fires the missile…?
  • Sometimes the particles in the music player don’t come out.
  • The game crashes when destroying a telephone pole in front of the goal in the demo stage
  • Vulcan cannon fire is not stopping (the processing load was terrible)
  • Aliens are not glowing (aliens should glow).
  • The opening movie doesn’t play.
  • Trees that were supposed to be knocked down are still standing when viewed from a distance.
  • When you hit the button repeatedly before the score is displayed in the result, it becomes impossible to progress.
  • Missile hits a destroyed blowup object.
  • Invisible wall of house site makes it hard to turn around
  • Collisions on utility poles are too large.
  • Sleeve signs change color when blown off.
Optimization
  • Reduced polygon count for trees
  • Reduce number of meshes for guide signs
  • Instantiate poles
  • Instantiate abandoned vehicles
  • High processing load in the alien conversation scene in the UFO after the brown bear battle ( I was showing the whole stage of the brown bear battle)
  • Destructible objects: changed to hide the mesh after the animation was over (each destruction increased the polygons to be drawn, which increased the processing load).

A little pre-recorded showcase of two levels from our demo.

Our demo is huge and you can play a pretty big variety of builds already, in many different levels and against many different enemy types.

We will add unlockable difficulty levels for the demo as well throughout the week of Steam Next Fest.
So keep checking back, when you see an update.

If you want to keep up with our game check our Devlogs on Youtube, which we do semi-regularly.

Our Divination Card Stories series showcases the tales behind our player-designed divination cards. In today's news post we've gathered the first four entries into the series together. Check them out!

If you've designed a Divination Card that has been released and would like to share the story about the meaning of your card, please feel free to send us a message here!

The first entry into the Divination Card Stories series was Sirgog's The Price of Loyalty. Wanting something with high power but high variance, Sirgog came up with the idea when another player in global chat linked a two-implicit Tabula with two +2 gems mods and he snarkily replied "shame to waste those corrupts, they would be amazing on Skin of the Loyal".



The Tumbleweed was designed as a gift for two friends of nasaboy007, celebrating their first wedding anniversary. The story describes a bachelor being saved from an apartment nicknamed "The Wasteland", where a tumbleweed was the central attraction.



As a long time ARPG enjoyer, SinnerSteven's favourite character archetype was summoners, specifically necromancer. The idea for The Skeleton was simply that a card that gave a high quality summon skeleton skill gem would be fitting for such a high quality skill. SinnerSteven's second card, The Bones, is a continuation of the first. The art and flavour text were designed to capture the feeling of using Vaal Summon Skeletons for the first time and being surrounded by an army of skeletons.




After running a modded Neverwinter Nights 2 server set in the Planescape setting, Cryptc wanted to create a Divination Card inspired by the same theme. References to the Planescape Dungeons and Dragons campaign setting can be found in the title, art, and flavour text of Cryptc's Divination Card.
