NOTE: Updates may take some time to roll out for everyone. A restart of the Steam client may be required.

Changelog v0.5.1a minor patch (4/1/2024)

-Added missing names (Hexson and Ayadea) to the testers section of the "About" screen

-Added Must Be Kitten! logo to the "About" screen (Nefarius Software logo added in previous update but forgot to mention in changelog)

-Fixed minor visual bug where the color of icons on the input overlay would be erroneously changed to the color of the face buttons when switching between Main and AltSet

As the global organization aimed at defending humanity from The Meat, the Earth Counter Invasion Force (ECIF) is always prepared against any extraterrestrial threat...

UNTIL NOW.



Comprised of the finest soldiers, technicians, and scientists from across the globe, the ECIF rallies its forces to stand against The Meat!



As you wage war against the all-consuming MEAT, you'll find your fellow humans also engaged in combat with the minions of the interdimensional entity!



You'll see ECIF soldiers fighting off The Meat at several points across your missions. Sometimes, they'll even throw you helpful weapon upgrades! At other times, you may even find the fallen bodies of deceased soldiers, or those consumed by The Meat.



When facing off against such overwhelming odds, it's always good to know you've got your fellow humans fighting by your side! Unless, of course, they've already been taken over by The Meat, in which case...BLAST THEM!

Hey everyone,

I created quick video tutorials to showcase the game's mechanics.

Here's the YouTube playlist:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjZ084EJ4-c92Eb735ou5Tu27TrNdsvWN

Let me know if you find these videos useful. If so, I will make others.

You can leave feedback in the Steam Thread: Tutorials.

Or you can join the Discord at https://discord.gg/B9qtzAFKW3.

Talk to you soon.

This is the main part of the update I have been working on for about a week. Interaction with the European part is not active at the moment, it will be active in the coming days.

• EUROPE ADDED. (Even if you can't interact with other countries yet, they are there. There are some small mechanics that will be added to Europe soon!)
  
• PLAYER PARTY COLOR SELECTION ADDED! (Already have a party set up? Don't worry, you can go to the "Parties" section and edit your party there!)
  
• A new map mode called "Election Investment" has been added, allowing players to track their election investments.
  
• Now when moving to the next week, province majority values will be updated accordingly.
  
• Changed the rally background color to dark. (The whole rally system needs an overhaul, I'm aware of that, one day...)
  
• Numerous localization and typo fixes.
  
• Added a notification that pops up when the game is saved.
  
• Added multiple new party names to the party name pool, removed one.
  
• Added a notification sound that plays when there is a notification when moving to next week.
  
• Added a sound effect that plays when the player tries to go to next week when there are unanswered notifications.
  
• Limited weekly law voting to 1. (Note that laws still don't affect your votes!)
  
• Added 2 new party logos.
  
• Fixed a bug which made player unable to click on election days.

Note: This update took about a week because adding new countries was a lot of work. Future updates will continue to come more frequently as before!

Sorry about lack of patches but it was the perfect storm of Balatro addiction, lack of motivation, and the bear of an implementation that was the template chips.

Changes:
- Drones now have 2 converter slots for a little mix-and-match variety
- Added a red indicator to all ammo/emitter slots if they're not filled
- Nodes no longer stay selected after move or paste, i found it annoying

- Added templated chips

• Any changes to a templated chip will reflect on all chips attached to the same template
  
• Right click a chip button and select "Save as Template" to save that chip as a template
  
• Chips connected to a template have a different color button and different color background on the 3d chip title background
  
• You can detach from templates and attach chips to templates in the chip button's right-click context menu
  
• Right click part button menu also has an option to add a templated chip (in addition to the blank chip addition option)
  
• You can manage (rename, change description, delete) template chips from a part's context menu, only the templates associated with that part type will be displayed
  
• Added an orientation step to slightly introduce templates
