Another month, another update. Before we dive into the details, a big announcement: the Y2K Directive official Discord server is now live! Whether you like the game, want to report a bug, leave a suggestion, or just hang out with me, come and say hi! Click to join the Discord server What's new with the game? As usual, there are a few improvements and bug fixes, but the biggest new feature is the unit experience system. As your units attack and destroy enemies, they'll gain experience points, which will increase their attack power. It's pretty rudimentary and basic, but hey, it's a start. Other than that, here is the changelog for version 0.5: New Features:

• Experience and leveling system for units
• Moving the HQ out of the capital city will increase panic across all the cities

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed the survey link on the demo end screen
• Selected unit panel now displays the correct attack points value

Improvements:

• Units that are supplied from the base now display that information in the sidebar
• Gameplay speed increased slightly
• Daily report now shows total credits
• You can now disable daily reports
• Ability to add 5 units to the build queue and to cancel build orders

As always, thank you for playing and for your feedback. See you soon! Damian

The year is 1999.

As chaos looms on the horizon, reports flood in of gigantic monsters, zombie plagues, interdimensional portals, and various supernatural disasters unfolding worldwide. You, a military leader from a small island nation, are tasked with a simple yet daunting mission: Save as many civilians as possible before the clock strikes 2000.

Welcome to your Y2K Directive.

SURVIVE: Navigate through this apocalyptic year, rescuing civilians from endangered cities and deploying your troops to stem the tide of horrors.

ADAPT: Leverage the terrain, day and night cycles, and weather to your advantage. Train your troops, rebuild destroyed bases and power plants, and establish refugee camps for civilians. Keep panic and civil unrest at bay.

OVERCOME Every problem has a solution. Utilize your troops not just for combat but also to reduce panic, quell civil unrest, or suppress insurgencies. Manage your economy and infrastructure with precision to save your country from impending doom.

This strategic civil defense simulation, inspired by classic games like XCOM/UFO with roguelike elements, guarantees endless possibilities to test your skills. In each playthrough, a new scenario is generated. Zombies? Alien fauna? Kaijus? Maybe all of them (and more) at once? Choose your preferred settings, or let the random generator surprise you. Will you withstand the test, or let your country fall into chaos and anarchy?
