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.

Without further ado here are the patch notes.

• Fixed a “guard building” loop for Hyrmenn.

• Small trap profile pic has been fixed.

• Fixed starting and stopping when moving to a hunting target from far away.

• Selling cart when hauling it causes issues no longer.

• You can no longer manually offer longhouse for rent.

• Fixed some UI issues.

• Fixed a super easy relationship exploit.

CHANGED/TWEAKED

• Added a notification that tells you if a guard has been dispatched when you’re caught being naughty.

• With foraging is off, coops will no longer be built as misc buildings.

• Peeking can now tell you what upgrades are applied to a building. It is also now faster to do.

• When in conversation, relationship is now displayed.,

• In the relationship window it will now show you the count of people found in a search.

• You can now educate workers when they are working. They will stop work briefly to learn the thing you have to teach, and then continue work.

• Refined wording in the employment screen to be more clear about why someone cannot be employed.

• Hovering over productions will no show a countdown as well as the % complete.

• Added more information for each recipe in building info.

• Clicking an ingredient in the recipe window will open the market compare to that item.

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.

• 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):

Hello Time Gamers! Welcome to our first Patch Notes! We'd like to take a moment to thank you for all the wonderful feedback, enthusiasm, and great ideas! We have really enjoyed reading your reviews and look forward to hearing more as you continue to play the game! Here are some changes we have made based on your excellent feedback:

• The "H" key no longer disables the UI. We apologize for not removing this feature prior to the demo release. Thank you for your patience and for reminding us.

• We have added a threat indicator. This appears as a red "!" on Timezones affected by bombs and a yellow "!" for life threatening Timezone effects.

  

• Disabled Timezones now grey-out instead of displaying a red or yellow "X" to reduce Timezone clutter.

  

We really like the suggestion to add emotive sound effects for the different characters and hope to add those soon! Other Fixes and Improvements:

• We have added a new Green Puzzle to the demo version. Check it out and let us know what you think!

• Thrown weapons no longer make the "hit" sound when they miss their target.

• Some cards that were causing the stack to resolve annoyingly slowly have been sped up.

• Select rift colors have been altered to avoid confusion with other game elements.

• Time bombs that were removed while leaping now stop beeping upon removal.

• We have also made a few general performance upgrades - this will hopefully improve the frame-rate.

Thanks again for the feedback and please keep letting us know what we can do to improve the game!

Hey!

Thanks everyone for trying out the demo. It's not totally optimized yet and we are trying to solve the issue where you can't launch the game.

We've also identified a few issues with controller support and do not recommend using one at this time.
