Nov 1st Daily Patch 2

StateOS: The Political Sandbox - Rx3490

Additions:

Upgraded all elections properly to use the new election system and all of its new processes and components.

This should fix all the issues with the election systems and going forward should be less buggy now that everything is fully using the new system.

Dynamic seat totals for countries like Germany who have MMP elections. Instead of 50 for State parliament.

Added Germany to the demo.

Bug fixes:

Committee study stage for Canada can now properly be viewed in live vote session and can be skipped properly.

Fixed party recalculation when adding and removing parties from countries that are not the United States. This was because the handler for non-counties was broken due to changes with the coalition system. But also because cities were not generating coalitions for countries that need them.

Germany coalition formation for the state level going to the National level and then the Bundestag having the Prime Minister of your region also become the Chancellor. This has been fixed. This is due to the fact that we only have one party leader in the game currently for a party. So I had to generate a full leadership team.

In the future there will be state level parties so this is a temporary fix.

Fixed calculated increase issue for policy effects.

Post-Steam Next Fest Devlog

Fractured Balance - Vrglab

Hello everyone, Vrglab here!

I wanted to take a moment to share a quick post-Next Fest devlog (even thought it is slightly late) — talking a bit about how things went, and what you can expect in the upcoming major demo update.

First of all, a huge thank you to the community and to Steam for all your support! Thanks to you guys, Fractured Balance has officially surpassed 1,000 players and reached over 300 wishlists! 🎉

To celebrate this milestone, here’s a look at some of the things you can expect in the next demo update

Major changes:

Finished the Tower defence system and enabled the UI interaction
Added Various Towers to automate Actions such as: Defending and Healing a core or Attacking enemies
Added more explorable levels
Swapped the old input system with a improved input system to enable configurable key bindings
Added a FPS Limit configuration to the UI (previously if vSync was turned off the FPS would be limited to 100 FPS by default with no way to change the limit)

Minor changes:

Fixed broken Translation files
Added Missing support for controllers in the backend of the game
Fixed clipping issues with the physics system
Fixed incorrect collision behaviour from coins

That’s all for now — thanks again for playing Fractured Balance! Your feedback means a lot and helps shape the game moving forward.

Update 1.5.0 is out!

I Wanna Be A Game Dev! - lykostudiooffical

Update 1.5.0 is out! Here are the changes:

Added a new side story, “Recollections of the Great Hero.”
- This is the last side story that will release before “I Wanna Be A Game Dev! - Expansion” comes out.
Fixed an issue with the UI during Daniel’s painting minigame.
Modified the main menu so the weather depends on your current point in the game.

This side story is a little different, and there's a very good reason for that... but we'll spare you the details for a month and a half, give or take. Regardless, we hope you enjoy it!
