Hey, Birdfolks! 🐦

A little bird told us that we have some announcements to make! And we are more than happy to share some news with you.

With this update we are introducing a new game mechanic: workforce. And we are sure that you’ll love it!



From now on, each colony will possess a certain amount of workforce! This change will dictate how many buildings your colony can support. Thanks to that, you’ll get some free space, which will help you with the most optimal build. You can build your colony not only faster, but more thoughtful! Also, building neighborhood bonuses is going to be much more impactful! Establishing laser connections is gonna be much easier, too.

By default, a colony starts with 16 workforce and if you’d like to increase it, you can either:

• upgrade colony radius
  
• build more Stabilizers

Each population point spent on a colony gives it 8 workforce. That means you can place 8 more buildings!



Any previous saves are compatible with these changes, BUT due to the nature of this update, you might have to do some housekeeping. Buildings over the limit from previous saves won’t be destroyed, but in order to place any new stuff, excess buildings will have to be removed.

So keep that in mind!



But that’s not all!

We changed the balancing of particular buildings and production chains. This way the limiting of the number of buildings won’t stop you from getting the resources that you need!

We know that some of you would like to dive deeper into the changelog, so here is the full list of changes and fixes in this new patch.

Enjoy!

## [Patch 0.3.1] -- 2024-01-15

Changes:

- Colonies become much less prone to having their production thrown off balance whenever a couple of buildings need to be deleted to make some space.
- Graphical performance has improved especially at the later stages of the game.

Fixes:

- Fixed the bug that would sometimes delete large chunks of nearby colonies whenever destroying an enemy wave.
- Added missing production tree for tier 6.
- Changed the word capitalization for errors and tooltips to make them more readable.
- Removed "Precision Terraforming" technology as it did not work due the building not being in the game yet.
- Added progress bars to some missions in prologue to make things a bit easier to understand.

We truly believe that this update will highly upgrade your gaming experience with Scorchlands! Let us know what you think, we’re always happy to hear your feedback.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another week has passed, and it's time to update the development log for the Immortal Journey~
In this edition, I will primarily introduce the characters that will make an appearance in the Immortal Journey's demo version.



First and foremost, players will take on the role of the protagonist: the main character is the 10th generation successor of the "Nameless Sect" in the background story, possessing exceptional talent since childhood. Later, as entrusted by an immortal, they embark on the path of the Immortal Journey.
In the main storyline of the Immortal Journey, there are a total of 9 different regions, and most of these regions feature recruitable characters with their own unique characteristics.
For instance, in the first chapter, in the "Nameless Island" area where the player's sect is located, players will encounter characters such as the "Spirit Doctor," adept in healing and buffs, the agile and fiercely attacking "Beast Tribe Girls," and the "Hunter" who weakens enemies and guides the team to focus fire.



As the plot progresses and exploration continues, players will gradually encounter more characters and can recruit these characters into their team within the sect. By combining the unique abilities of these characters, the team can gain powerful combat capabilities.
The protagonist, due to practicing the supreme techniques of the sect, can replace all of their skills with skills from other professions (becoming the most dazzling figure in the Immortal Journey)!

In the Immortal Journey's demo version, although the storyline is only open up to the second chapter, at least 8 different professions of collectible characters will be introduced~

A nasty bug had some of you blocked out of Time Survivors: Chapter 0 with a "DEMO EXPIRED" warning...
We are fixing that and releasing an hotfix later today.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

So far I've made the map more than twice as big as the first one so now you have more room to move around and I have also added more details to the forest so that it looks more realistic. In my opinion it turned great but you can also leave me a comment about your opinion. Still much work to do and you can also follow me on my Twitter(X) account here.
