Alpha Update 17
A new error dialog give in game detail about exceptions. This should make it more clear when something goes wrong. If you see this dialog in-game, it may not prevent you to keep playing, but do let me know!
This may seems technical and obscure but every game needs a way to generate random numbers. The previous random number generator used in Gate Builder was not very random.
The tutorial will now remember the steps you already completed in case of save and reload.
The AI caused the game to freeze between turn in the previous Alpha. "This should be solved" - said the developer while crossing his fingers A new Debug UI was also added to the game and can display what is happening in the brain of the AI. A setting is available in the option menu to turn it on or off.
The volume control in the Option Menu are now more logical for human ears. Thanks Wheffle!
Last few stream, we worked on a Twitch Chat Integration to allow twitch viewers to participate in the game. Twitch viewer are now able to be hired as Citizen and join the Homeword of a streamer. They will get a salary every turn if they are working in a station or if they are present in Chat. (With a bonus for subscribers) In this alpha, viewer can not do anything with this salary yet. More will come soon. The list of implemented commands is:
I will probably work one or two more stream max on the Twitch Chat Integration, as it's a fun things to do with the community. In the mean time, I plan to resume a more steady development cycle now that the summer holidays are over. And don't forget, I need you! Let me know if you have any feedback on the game so far!
