Alpha 7 is here!


It took a long time, but the list of improvements is also long:

  • Improved Win/Defeat graphics

  • Reworked terrain to allow for textures

  • 21 new terrain textures

  • Terrain surfaces painting with weights in MapEd

  • Improved and reworked some house models (Stonecutters, Sawmill)

  • Improved water reflections

  • More temp house models (not final)

  • Performance charts show CPU and GPU usage

  • Autosave interval now can be changed from settings

  • More placeholder sounds (not final)

  • Automated game installer

  • Allowed to build towers within 10 tiles from houses without need for a road (not final)

  • Packed all data files into a single resource file

  • Reworked fighting mechanics to be less random (not final)

  • Show unit hitpoints and damage in GUI (not final)

  • Allow to select and see basic info about enemies houses/units and animals

  • Placeholder houses now have player flags too

  • Added separate “neutral” player in MapEd for animals

  • Made animations smooth on high frame rates by adding interpolation between frames

  • Tweaked wares production rates

  • Improved how AI selects houses to build

  • Fixed how AI plans and stocks defence lines

  • Added developers function to save a game into a mission script

  • Units thoughts are visible at any zoom level now

  • New campaign map “Bad Neighbours”

  • Indicate when house has no connecting road to be built or has no worker assigned

This is still Alpha, there are likely a lot of bugs, flaws, incomplete things, broken mechanics and such.

Shadow The Hedgehog X pixel art

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.
