We've taken your feedback and added more cards that directly affect reactor rate and weapon damage, to enable a viable "engine" for a wider variety of loadouts.

In addition, we also added 3 new weapons, which are quick to charge, but do 0 damage unless modified by a card or effect. Sort of a shiv deck idea, for any Slay the Spire fans out there.

• Peashooter - Kinetic weapon

• Pocket Rocket - Missile weapon

• Laser Pointer - Laser weapon

We also rethought and simplified the layout of the console display (the card dispenser screen), and fixed some annoying bugs.

Hello, here's a brief outline of what will be included in upcoming update.

I was focusing on diversifying sources of income. A total of four new types of jobs will be added.

Demolition. There will be three variants of this work.

Digging foundations. Three variants, with varying degrees of difficulty.

Replacing damaged insulation. One building in three different versions

Cutting old planks.

Starting new jobs will require calling the phone number provided on the notice board. Unlocking subsequent jobs will require completing previous ones.

I also implemented achievements, there will be around15 of them.

As for the update's release date, unfortunately, I can't provide anything specific. Thank you for your patience.

• Reworked attribute acquisition from all sources except standard, all actions (breeding, pond and racing) now have a cost influenced by highest rarity of frog discovered. Any rarity of attribute (ranging from common to highest discovered) can now be produced by any rarity of frog. For example if you have discovered up to uncommon rarity level and you breed two common frogs, the offspring can have breeding attributes ranging with common to uncommon, even if the parents only have common attributes!

• Breeding attributes now appear more frequently when breeding but with less of them at once

• Added top layer system for tanks (texture that appears on top of the background), adding another level of customisation

• Added filtering by unknown in the Ribbidex for attributes to quickly locate unknown attributes

• Improved frog rarity displaying

• Redrew 10 ugly frog patterns

• Updated general UI appearance

• Updated pond frog generation so that frogs with higher pond rating will have the choice of more pond frogs to breed with

• Widened some menus

• Increased max decorations from 12 to 15

• Updated tabbed menus with dynamic titles based on the name of the current tab selected

• Greatly improved unknown attributes in the Ribbidex so that a silhouette is now shown

• Adjusted UI clicking particles to be on click point and not centre of UI element

• Added more information to the breeding visualiser

• Minor UI particle improvements

• Fixed missing filtering logic for breeding attributes

• Fixed accidentally clicking on frogs when trying to place a decoration

• Fixed letting go of barnacle tongues when they fully retract.
  
• Bloodbugs are no longer affected by force zones.

2 hotfixes within a few days?! Yes - but it's worth it.

Hey, Zaxonauts! Sebastian here, Studio AD at M80 Games bringing more beard than anyone asked for. 🧔🏻

This week we’ve been tinkering with the Achievements screen and icons for that UI. We wanted these to stand apart from the Upgrades (which look like old-school NES cartridges in an SD card form-factor). Achievements felt like they should be more trophy-like, a nice visual reward you get to hold onto. So we settled on a design that feels like pulling a 3D relic out of a sci-fi crate, each one framed for consistency but with plenty of room for personality inside.

The Kill Streak series really sold us on this direction: a bare skull at 50, colder at 100, sickly green at 200… and by 500, it’s a flaming nightmare grinning back at you. That’s when the achievement system started to feel like it had its own personality, not just a checklist. We’ve got plenty more of these little relics for Achievements to cook up. What do you want to see?

Many systems, dating back to older versions, have been completely redesigned.

The day and night system, which had served its purpose for a long time, entered a well-deserved retirement starting with version 0.1.0. It has been replaced by a new system that performs better and is easier to scale.

• The lighter is now controlled with mouse wheel. Also, the Y-axis of camera is no longer blocked when holding the lighter.

• The reworked grab mechanic solve the problem of items clipping through the walls and the ground

• Graphical improvements and improved game optimization

• Fixed a bug where the blink animation would freeze if the game was paused during it.

• Burning boxes and cardboard now emit light correctly.

• The fog has been slightly improved, it has become smoother and you will no longer notice the sudden disappearance of game models in the fog.

The save system has been reworked and will likely return in the next update.

Join us for either live stream, with the solo dev of Dimensional Gates, to explore the game, answer questions, and even dive into the mechanics of the game and how they all work.

We hope to see you at Next Fest!!
