Jumpfall teams thank you for your participation in the first phase of the game. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
Unfortunately, the game will be developed privately for a while.
Releasing the game in an early phase was partly a bad idea, and let's say there is still a lot to polish.
Remember that these are early phases and there may be changes.
The levels will become private starting October 20th.
Sincerely,
JevzGames
Projectile Behavior Now Free: The Projectile behavior is now unlocked from the start, making it the default behavior when you select nodes. This gives you immediate access to basic projectile attacks without needing to meet any requirements.
Boost System Unlocked Earlier: The boost system now unlocks when you reach level 3 instead of requiring 10,000 coins and level 10. This means you can start using boosts much earlier in your gameplay!
Synergy Effects Now Stack Properly: When multiple beat types (Bass, Midrange, Treble) boost the same stat like Launch Force or Projectile Count, their effects now combine instead of canceling each other out. Your synergy bonuses will be much more powerful!
Tooltips Stay On Screen: Tooltips no longer get cut off near the edges, even on 4K displays. They now stay fully visible so you can always read them.

Hey all!
A few things have happened since we last spoke, which have delayed things a little, so I'm very sorry for the longer time between updates - I had surgery which knocked me a back a bit, and then my cat of 12 years died :(
Oh and my wife is super pregnant with a human child at the moment, so there's a lot going on there, too.

NEW
New advanced gameplay setting - no player aging.
New advanced gameplay setting - max number of common production events per day.
Automation - you can now set the number of productions to wait for when transporting with the periodically option.
Exquisite Bows have been added. They can be made by chance when you have skilled workers making normal bows. Exquisite bows have a higher range than normal bows.
Pet hens can now surprise you with eggs when you are sleeping at home.
Weapons can now inflict ‘bleeding’ which causes damage over time. Can be healed with Balm. Some weapons cause bleeding better than others.
A new start added for Defenascir - Escaped Prisoner - which makes things a little harder.
You can now drop items from your pockets or pack. Dropping items will create a little sack on the ground which the AI can pickup.
Added a new 'Management' system which allows you to purchase the 'Management' upgrade for a businesses and then assign a manager - this works with both automation and manual control. Managers do not work, but rather they provide a continuous supervision buff to increase the production rate of all items being made at that builder. The higher their supervise skill, the higher the buff they provide.
I have also created a translation system that I have started adding into the back end of the game, you won't see any changes yet - but there is magic happening behind the scenes. I've also got a new knowledge base system that I am building that will embed directly into the game, rather than relying on the Wiki. I'm also now ready to dedicate more time to the new map and the Danegeld system.
I hope this update has one or two things that you can enjoy! Again, sorry for the delay.
Much love,
Atorcoppe.
Survival Mode - Last as long as you can against endless waves of Humans. Gain an evolution point each wave and a mutation point every 7 waves. How long can you survive? This first map is just the start of this mode. Please let me know your feedback while we iterate on new maps and the mode overall.
5 New achievements for Survival mode.
Builders will now smart spread out to build uncompleted structures, instead of conga lining to a single structure until its completed.
Builders now check if they want to goo every 1 second, instead of just checking if they want to goo when they step off goo. This will result in more gooing overall when you don't have auto goo turned on.
Fixed a strange delete bug that would allow you to delete a building twice.
Rebalanced the ‘combat rating’ stats of the Human units. This will change the types and amounts of units the AI will send out on attack waves. Generally less missile lads and commandos will be attacking, flamers will come a little more often.
With my visual novel, The Last Waltz, authenticity was always important. I worked very hard with my artist to ensure that every dance scene was accurate to how Dancesport actually looks, and I commissioned a 35-track soundtrack, with almost all the music being actual Dancesport compositions.
And to prove just how authentic it all is, I sponsored one of the most important Dancesport championships in Australia. At this year's Oceania Dancesport Championship, they played music from The Last Waltz during the opens competition. You don't get more authentic than that.
Enjoy watching some of Australia's top Dancesport athletes compete in Paso Doble, using music from The Last Waltz (and you'll be able to unlock more clips like this as you play the game):
