Hello, Caleb here, developer of Harwell. In this dev diary I'll be showcasing the implementation of various buildings in the game, along with their resources and the code which makes them run. I'll be showing you custom tooltips which give live information on net profit and dynamic construction costs, along with how the buildings operate and fit into the gameplay.

Please note, not all graphical assets are final.

Building up the corporation will be the forefront of the gameplay. Miners for harvesting raw resources, factories for refining those resources into more advanced goods, and a market to sell them on.

See the market showcase here:

This update one of the main things I've worked on is the feel of these buildings - the sound of placing them, how they show on the map, particle systems, and post-processing. Whilst some buildings share a lot of common traits - all of the miners for example are very similar, most of the other buildings have unique particle effects and lighting. I've tried to have particle effects create a sense of a busy world, with steel factories pumping out smoke, or windmills having little energy particles. Not exactly realistic, but it looks good. I think if I was going for hardcore realism there wouldn't be much life in the game apart from Mars dust and dust storms (yet to come).

I've also begun implementing sound effects. Machinery and mechanical whirs and clunks. I've heavily focused on atmosphere and how it feels to play with this update and I think it's paying off. I'm going to consider this as I continue with the updates as It's important the game is satisfying to play as well as fun. Some of the buildings have sounds made up of multiple effects to create something unique, and I've considered how they sound whilst playing so they don't irritate the player. In fact, they create somewhat of a rhythm which is a pleasing side effect.

I try to create a system which is as dynamic as possible, this means that each building will consume goods straight from the market, and if you don't have any goods stockpiled for them to build from, then they'll buy them from the market at their current market price. Don't have any money? The buildings will put this on debt. Don't worry, there will be a button to manually disable buildings to avoid racking up loads of credit against your company!

Those buildings will then produce those goods right into your inventory. What you do with them is up to you - stockpile to use them in buildings or construct new factories, or sell them at whatever their price is at that time.

You'll have to choose your industry and building placement carefully - your buildings won't run if there isn't profit to be made. Every in-game ten minutes the buildings run their calculations, part of these calculations is net profit. The game works out the profit of the building on the fly based on the revenue it's making from the market price of the outputs minus the expenses incurred from the market price of the input goods. If the building's net profit works out to be negative, the building will shutdown production until it can make a profit again.

I'll try to give the player as much information as I can without cramming the screen full. One way I'm doing this it tooltips!

As part of the building update I've worked on dynamic tooltips. These tooltips will display live information of a building's construction cost (based on market prices) and it's net profit (see above) along with show you exactly what inputs a building takes and what it will produce; this information will be in a custom tooltip for the build buttons on the right side of the market menu.

One thing I had to consider was balancing performance with reliability, which has meant I've had to consider how often the game calculates these values along with how often the tooltip updates. Rather than updating the tooltip every frame, the game works out the values on hover and updates the text on the tooltip. It's not ideal as it can lead to being shown outdated information, but it avoids having to do those same calculations every frame for example. The calculations are also done every in-game ten minutes, or real-life 5 seconds. I haven't done full benchmarking to find out the performance difference of doing those same sums every second for example, but I may adjust this in the future if the game can handle it.

There's been some minor updates to the market as well since the first dev diary, primarily integration with the buildings, along with the debt system.

Buildings will now buy and sell automatically, buying resources with debt if they have to. The player now also has more options when purchasing; holding Alt will purchase a good with debt, even if you have the money. This gives the player choice, maybe it's worth using a little debt for something you need now because you're saving your money for a shiny new steel factory?

Next, I'll be adding a 'pay debt' button to get rid of those pesky loans. I've also considered allowing players to buy buildings with debt, though I'm not sure if that is too flexible. I have a feeling it could be abused. I'll perhaps implement it when I'm closer to running playtests for the game.

I'll also be implementing auto-sell. This would make it so you don't have to sit and click through your goods to get them all sold off, sell straight to the market. We can't micromanage every bit of the company, can we?

That's all from me, thanks for reading, I'll see in the the next one!

Caleb

• Two Missions to test your reflexes

• Three powerful heroes to try (with unique styles!)

• 15+ unique artifacts & supplies

• Wild synergy combos

• Full gamepad support

If you give the demo a try, we’d love your feedback:

• Join our Discord — that’s where we’re most active

• Or tag us on socials and let us know how your run went!

We read everything — and your input is essential as we get ready for Early Access later this year.

Thanks for playing — and welcome to the world of Chaos.

Let’s make it Iconic. 🚀

First of all, we want to extend our most sincere thanks to everyone who supports and follows our game. It means a lot to us.

We have received reports regarding issues such as the game’s optimization not meeting expectations, errors in distributing pre-order rewards, and some abnormal pricing. These problems should never have occurred, and we deeply regret the inconvenience and negative experience some players are currently facing.

We are confident in the game’s performance within our recommended spec but we’re working on optimization. We are looking to issue a patch as soon as we can.

In the meantime, if you are experiencing issues, you can try adjusting settings through our FAQ: https://support.505games.com/support/solutions/150000215541

If the issues persist, please submit a ticket via support.505games.com to provide your feedback. Our customer service team will assist you in resolving the problems as soon as possible, and your reports will help us identify and fix issues quickly and efficiently.

We are aware of some pricing anomalies in some regions. We are currently working with Steam to restore the correct pricing.

The root cause is a bug in the reward distribution for the Standard and Deluxe editions, which prevented players from receiving the correct items. We are fixing this issue in the upcoming patch.

As a token of our appreciation, we will give all players who purchase the game on Steam a free digital copy of the original soundtrack. We will look to process refunds of all those who have already purchased the soundtrack via Steam.

Additionally, in future updates, players who buy the Deluxe Edition will receive a brand-new exclusive costume, (please understand that this may take some time.)

We are fully committed to investigating and resolving these issues as quickly as possible. Our team is prioritizing these problems at the highest level, striving to fix and handle everything promptly to ensure you have the best possible gaming experience.

We are also continuously gathering and organizing bug reports and suggestions shared within the community. We sincerely ask for your patience, understanding, and support during this process. Once again, we hugely appreciate all of you.
