After the maintenance on January 2nd, 2024, we've identified the following issue:

- Emergency Stop does not work on the Special Activity under certain circumstances.

We have addressed and fixed this issue, and the revised version has been distributed to each store.

Commanders experiencing this issue are requested to update to the new version from the respective app store.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Thank you.

• Revamped Action Search!
  
  As most relatively large changes, this is a setting. It will be enabled by default for new users, enjoy!
  
• WAY BETTER Performance
  I tested opening an action surrounded by 5000 actions in the new version (Release 13) and the old version (Release 12) - Release 13 took 0.2s while Release 12 took 53 seconds. This was executed on relatively above-average hardware. Thank me later! (Users with larger projects will especially feel the performance improvement)

Hey everyone, thanks for playing the demo yesterday and dealing with all the goofy bugs I left in before releasing. I fixed most of them, but feel free to let me know if I missed any with the in game SHARE FEEDBACK button.

Today I tweaked a few things and fixed a few small bugs. I also update the speed lines and fov change to occur based off speed, instead of Sprint Input Action. I also made a slight adjustment to the Cyberspace Neural Calibration Course respawn, due to some unfair restarts.

Stay tuned for more updates, we should be having a big update for the demo within the next month or two!

Thanks for playing,

Aidan @ IMIGE

Fixed laser swords not drawing properly in certain stances.

Earlier in the year, our demo for The BridgeMaster was released on Steam, coinciding with its feature in the Steam Puzzle Fest! This got a lot more eyes on the game and produced more of your valuable feedback (more on that below).



Then we were pleasantly surprised and very honored to be selected for the Seattle Indies Expo! We were among 25 games in the showcase, chosen from more than 50 that applied, so we feel very grateful indeed. Be sure to check out SIX's other games too!



About a month later, we were back for the SIX Online portion of the expo to share the game in an interview on Twitch! ICYMI, here's the video:


(click to view at the timestamp where our segment begins)

The builds for both of these events were preceded by plenty of playtesting and polishing. We made many enhancements, including:

• Adding the much requested option to "Undo" per action
  
• Adding the scroll collectibles advancing the plot
  
• Expanding the intro to help establish the premise
  
• Introducing tutorial prompts to help onboard new players
  
• Lots of improvements with VFX, SFX, and bug-fixing

Check out our previous posts to see more details on these events and all the various changes.


With all that's occurred in 2023, we feel set up for success in 2024! 🎉

Now that we've got a reasonably polished demo as a "vertical slice" of the game, we're building a "horizontal slice" that spans the full game's breadth of content. Once complete, we can avoid the risks of otherwise premature polish efforts being invalidated by major content iteration. That looks like so:



In the near term, this means we're primarily prototyping our next puzzle mechanics. We'll then utilize these to design, test, and iterate on the remainder of the level progression. We've already made some headway on that effort, which you can see a sneak peek of here:



Before long, we'll have several new levels utilizing these mechanics and more. Remember I mentioned your valuable feedback? Later in 2024, we will be seeking folks for playtesting to help us make a greater game. If you'd like to contribute, be sure to follow us both here and on Twitter (@CrimsonStoneDev) to find out how you can join us when the time comes!

Hello and welcome to the new year!

This version's a big one - lots of balance and play-path tweaks, new scripting for player starts and AI-unit behavior (especially refugees), and new dynamics for picking your late-game faction leaders. We're closing in on what we envision as the final look and feel of the game - and we're really excited to hear what you think! Let us know in the discord or the bug submission portal.

(If you're not an alpha tester - do not despair! We're hoping two or three more versions will get us to a public version. Stay tuned, and wishlist us to hear when the next version drops!)


New to this version...

New Logic:

• Implemented new refugee scripts. Refugees will now "flee" for 3 turns, then settle in the nearest plains or steppe tile. Resettling a refugees unit on a pillaged tile will replant a hamlet and add this tile to the player's kingdom.
  
• "Heritage" starts: All players will start with knowing a how to farm a random crop or ranch a random animal, based on the player's starting terrain. (e.g. If a player starts on a snowy steppe, the starting crop/animal will work on snowy steppe). Stacks with faction leaders whose bonus is knowing a starting crop/animal.

Balance/Play:

• All buildings are now built by laborers (and only laborers can build buildings)
  
• Laborers are now available at level 0 ("Subsistence"). Warbands are now available at level 1 ("Surplus")
  
• Choose councilors: When the "new faction" dialogue pops up, players can now choose to promote a different leader to their council (rather than being forced to take the nominated leader). The chosen leader must still be aligned with the same faction. Leader options are pulled from the list of unlocked leaders; unlock more leaders by completing games!
  
• Hid resource/yield effects from events when they first pop up. Make your choice based on faction leader opinions and your own intuition!
  
• Expanding a settlement (hamlet->crossroads, crossroads->village, etc.) produces a 1-time reduction in time to the next unit. Otherwise, villages & towns produce units faster based on the number of surrounding tiles 'feeding' them.

GUI Fixes:

• fixed game-over and game-won images overlapping their borders
  
• fixed "lonely mountain" and "snowy steppe" tiles not shadowing correctly
  
• fixed unit-training window cropping in some situations
  
• redesigned councilor cards for tighter/more immersive display
  
• fixed control settings buttons cropping in some cases
  
• removed "font size" option from control settings (not fully implemented, removing to avoid confusion)

Bug Fixes:

• fixed hamlets appearing whenever a unit moved over water
  
• fixed a bug where closing the control settings window automatically changed the font size to large
  
• fixed warband promotion - warbands can only be upgraded to archers (or other units) when your kingdom is at a "surplus" level or higher
  
• fixed occasional crashing from the map-generator script failing to place all kingdoms

Heading Home 2.0 Version :

Reworked Shadows completely : Shadows were reworked from ground up. Better performance and less aggressive shadows distance.

Added missing collisions : Underwater rocks have now proper collisions.

Ice-cream collectables goals : Ice-creams have now a real purpose in the game, collect them to be able to unlock areas!

NPC Enemy Reworked : Enemy will now pursue you on a much longer distance, and will be sent flying upon dying. No more Jelly-ish death in place.

Magic rocks : You can now access new areas by standing on the magic rocks, they will move towards new places to discovers. Be careful some rocks need to be activated by a pressure plate, look around the area to find them.

Minor tweak to improve overall performance.
