Hi everyone ! Apparently I am not done with this patch yet. A few new qol this week. I also changed how crop types are calculated for duplicated crops. Previously when you have 2 crops of the same name with different croptypes, only the first crop counts toward the set bonuses. This happens for variant crop like tulip and also crops with 2 different flavour mutations. This is intended but it seems like it creates confusion. This patch I have decided to change this behavior and just allow all instances of the crops provide the bonus if they are not the same bonus. For example, if you have a sweet tulip and a sour tulip, you will gain 1 flower, 1 herb, 1 sour and 1 sweet. In the case that you have a potato with sweet mutation and another with sour mutation, you will now get both sweet and sour mutation. This rarely happens but when it does, the new behavior should not surprise you, and if it does, it should usually be a happy surprise. This also has a low impact now but will have a bigger impact once I add variant to more cards in the future. Here is the rest of the changelog.

Balance Changes

• Increase Bee T3 from 3 -> 4.
• Increase Flavouring Permit from [2/6/20/2x] -> [2/8/20/2x].

Bug Fixes

• Slightly change how set bonus calculate for same crops.

Quality of Life

• Add filter for bookmarked cards in available card window.
• Show icons above some cards on hover to show what is affected.

Hi everyone! I hope everything is well. Last year when I launch 1.2, I thought I was done with Crop Rotation. However, I got addicted to playing Crop Rotation recently and I realised that there were a lot more things that I want do with it. This is going to be a long post, so if you are only interested in the changes, scroll to the end, or check out the changelog in game.

Controller and Steam deck support

Let's start with the most boring one. If you are a controller gamer, or always wanted to play Crop Rotation on Steam Deck, it is finally here. I have added a default controller layout to steam. It might take a while to get the hang of it, but once you do, playing with controller is actually easier than playing with keyboard and mouse. If you have any issues or suggestions for the controller support, do drop it in the discussion. Oh, remember to turn on "click mode" in settings to make moving cards with controller a lot easier.

New Cardsets

2 new cardsets are added to the game - Sun and Commerce, which add 20 new crops, 2 new permits and 4 new animals. This will bring the total number of permits/animals to 18 and the total number of crops to 110.

New Mechanic

There is one new mechanic added to the game - "Variant". Cards marked with "Variant" can have multiple different versions, each with slight variation. Cards with variant are part of the same card pool and can be used to upgrade each other. Although there are only 2 cards with variants in the game as of 1.3, adding the variant mechanic now allows me to add new content in the future without bloating the card pool. For example, I could add "Green Apple" as a variant of Apple.

Balance Changes

There are 3 goals for the balance changes. 1. Remove useless abilities 2. Make weaker cards/mutations stronger 3. Streamline the game

Crop changes

There are 3 key changes for crops. Firstly, most crops with "gain value if adjacent to X" are reworked. This ability has always been weak and I have been looking to remove it for a long time. Some of them still have this ability, and I will continue to look for better ability to replace them. Upgrading crop cards to tier 3/4/5 always feels weak and unsatisfying. To fix this, most crops that gain values are buffed, especially for tier 4 and tier 5. Many of the rare crops that gain value are also buffed. These 2 changes will make upgrading and getting early rare more rewarding. Lastly, the base value of the crops are also updated. Previously different crops have different base value within the same rarity. I no longer remember the reason why they were different, so I have decided to make it easier by making all the same within the same rarity. Similarly, the cost of all crops are also updated to be the same if they are of the same rarity.

Animals and Permits

Similar to crops, most of the animal and permits are buffed at tier 3 and tier 4. The reason is the same as crops. Upgrading from tier 2 to tier 3 should be rewarding, but it wasn't. This is especially so for those that do not have multiplier at tier 4. For example, Big farm permit give a 2x multiplier at tier 4, but Wet permit doesn't. This makes wet permit weaker than big farm permit because it doesn't scale up as well. By making t3 and t4 stronger, those that did not provide a 2x multiplier should feel a lot better now. Another key change is specifically to the dual-flavours permits, e.g. Sweet and Sour Permit and the other 5. These 6 permits usually flood the contract rewards, making it harder to get permits and animals for upgrades. In 1.3, they are now "Variant" and is part of the same card pool, and can be used to upgrade each other.

Mutations

Digging for specific mutation has always been fun, but there are just too many of them, and many of them are not as useful. In 1.3, many of the mutations are reworked and merged. For example, instead of having a spread mutation, it is now merged into climber mutation and the old climber mutation ability is removed. You can see all the mutation changes in the changelogs.

Rating and Balance

There are many different types of players, and also different ways to play the game. Some people like getting high score, and some just want to get to 10000 rating. As the dev, it is hard to balance the game for everyone, so I decided early on that the game will be balanced around 1000 rating. With all the changes and buffs, 1000 has become too easy. I could change 1000 but I have decided to change the rating that I balance around instead. The game is now balanced around 1500. But what does that mean for you as a player ? Probably not much but if you are the type of players that like to go for win streak, the best rating to do that now is at 1500, which will provide a sufficient challenge, or at 2000 if you really know the game inside out. I personally am addicted to playing at 2000.

Closing thoughts

If you have read everything so far, thank you. Crop Rotation is a very niche game, and there are probably less than 200-300 people who play Crop Rotation every month. However, since I am one of them, I will continue to balance it for myself. If you enjoy the game and want to participate in the balance or new content, do hop on the discord. With such a big patch, there will definitely be bugs. If you encounter any, post it in the discussion and I will definitely try my best to fix them. And as usual, the last 1.2 patch will be archived on a separate branch for those interested to play that version instead. If you like the update, do give it a thumbsup. If you don't give it a thumbsdown and let me know what you dislike about the changes. For those that read it so far, and still doesn't have the game (I am not sure why you are reading this), the demo is also updated with some of the new changes. Lastly, here is the promised changelog.

First of all, thanks everyone for the feedback and and playing the game. I hope everyone is enjoying the game so far.

Overview

After a month of working, 1.1 is finally ready. The goal of this version is to fix some of the balance issues of the game. The current version has a few strategies that were really strong. Strong strategies aren't really a problem, but in this case they were too strong that they invalidated other strategies. This also make adding new cards irrelevant. The first issue is permit/animals stacking of the same kind. This way of playing make it such that you can just stack one type of animals/permits and ignore the others. This discourage combining different cards and their effects, making the game very one dimensional. The second issue is mono-cropping, which involve playing only 2-3 types of crops rather than building around set bonuses. The main problem is that set bonuses are generally weaker than permits and animals.

Changes

Here are the key changes in 1.1. There will be a detailed changelog at the end of the post but here are the main ones.

Unlimited and Rating mode

In the main rating mode, cards will be limited. This means there you can only get a copy of each card to the max level (except for Chicken). This change creates a need to combine multiple passive abilities, instead of just stacking 1 single type of permits. However, it is still fun to see how big numbers can be, so an unlimited mode is added where the old strategy can still work.

Custom Mode

The previous relaxed mode is removed. A new custom mode is added to allow you to customise some part of how you want to play the game.

Changes to cards and set bonuses

The set bonuses that give value are all buffed. Most permits/animals that were strong previously are nerfed to bring them down to the same level. Most crops are also changed so that they are stronger at tier 4 and 5 to incentivise upgrades. In general, the max level set bonuses are now roughly around a T3.5 permit/animal.

The 16th Crop Type

Lastly, the last croptype is here - Invasive. This set comes with 10 additional cards, and also a new mutation.

Conclusion

With these changes, Crop Rotation is finally at where I wanted it to be. I will still continue to balance it, and when I have enough cards to consolidate to a new set, I will add them in. If you have ideas for cards, do suggest them in the discussion or discord. Lastly, to allow people to enjoy the broken-ness of the previous version, I will be archiving the previous build in the 1.0 branch.

Hi everyone, launch day is finally here. First of all, I would like to thank everyone for the support and wishlists. As a solo dev, community support is really important to me. I am really grateful. The game also have a demo for you to try before getting the game, or you can just enjoy the demo for free! I designed the demo as a F2P version of the game, similar to my previous game. This allow everyone to enjoy the game before spending any money. There will also be a bundle together with my previous game (and future games) that give a slightly higher discount. Do grab that if you already own Dice Tribes: Ambitions. Lastly, if you enjoy the game (or even if you don't), dont forget to drop a review on Steam. If you don't, do it too. Okay enough of talking ! Hope you enjoy Crop Rotation and happy rotating.
