Dear Oil entrepreneurs, Today's update brings some bug fixes and updated mechanics! Many thanks to everyone who reported bugs on the Turmoil Steam Community boards. Please know that even if we do not respond to every post, we do read them and your feedback is much appreciated! Features

• We changed the reward for picking up a ruby in deep mode. Instead of getting a bonus at the end of the level, you now directly get a bonus of $500 for your research fund.
• Added some visual feedback for passing every 100m in Deepmode.

• Updated localization files
• Fixed an issue where Deepmode levels sometimes had the background of the cliffs levels.
• Fixed an issue where the extra time you get for using a diamond in the main game is not counted in your final profit of the level.
• Fixed an issue with the water valve audio in deepmode and dynamite countdown audio not being affected by volume sliders.

• Fixed issue where it was sometimes possible to play Dice Dice Dice with too little money
• Fixed issue where Dice Dice Dice was not playable if the player lacked the funds for other saloon offers above 1000 dollars
• Fixed diamond offer in The Heat is On never appearing
• Removed line from deep mode level excerpt about diamonds found
• Fixed issue where campaign button stays selected after reopening custom multiplayer game menu
• Fixed issue where deepmode check to see if you were able to build a pipe assumed you are always drilling through rock
• Fixed issue where the game would sometimes freeze if a pipe was built directly from a refinery

Dear oil entrepreneurs, Turmoil's new DLC Deeper Underground is now available! So, without further ado, we welcome you to get back into the business of drilling for oil, and all the other things we have cooked up for you!

• An all-new town with new buildings, a new mayor, and balloon trips to special deep-drilling grounds!
• Besides oil, you can now also find water underground - which comes in handy when you want to drill faster and cheaper! But it's also essential for the production of the highly valuable petrol!
• Petrol marks the start of a new era. You cant just dig it up and sell it right away, you first have to produce it in refineries. Its a challenging but rewarding undertaking, and we trust there will be no complaints about the revenues it generates!
• A brand new expedition: Every few in-game years, regular drilling levels are alternated with special research missions. Here, it's all about trying to drill as deep as possible with limited resources. Can you drill deeper than your opponents?
• Two new playable characters to choose from: meet Thorpe and Mabel! Both willing and able!
• To get your drilling operation up and running as quickly as possible, meet Yvonne, Sanjay, and Dynamite Dale who will introduce you to their new wares! And of course your old friends Edward, Raynor, Fred, and William will stop by with their train to provide you with all the drilling equipment you need.
• Philip is also back, and he's got a new game for you: Dice Dice Dice. If you can outsmart him, you're sure to make a few extra bucks on the side.
• Just like previous campaigns, it's all about who has the most town shares in the end. Deeper Underground uses the same bidding system as in the multiplayer campaign, but shares can also be earned in the deep-drilling missions.
• And last but not least: we've added an explosive item to the game, dynamite! While hard rock can be nice when it comes out of speakers, it's a big problem when you stumble upon it underground. Normal drills are not strong enough, so make sure to visit Dynamite Dale in the Saloon!

Hi all! You may have heard about the upcoming new Turmoil DLC: Deeper Underground! If you're all hyped up and would like to help us playtest the final stages of development, you're welcome to sign up for a limited-time playtest on the storepage: https://store.steampowered.com/app/361280/Turmoil/ Playtesting will only be done in English for now, but of course the final game will be available in all languages you are used to. We'll start playtesting as soon as next week, so first come first serve! So sign up, and get your oil (and petrol) drilling on! Your input will only help us make the DLC more awesome! Thanks in advance! Team Turmoil

[previewyoutube=hc3MAutSiGs;full][/previewyoutube] We're happy to present Turmoil - Deeper Underground! Were bringing Turmoil into the Roaring Twenties with a completely new campaign, lots of newfangled mechanics, upgrades, new playable characters and NPCs, and all-new areas and levels! But rest assured: it all comes with the trusted Turmoil gameplay you've come to know from previous campaigns. So get ready to deepen your Turmoil experience, heres what you can expect:

• An all-new town with new buildings, a new mayor, and balloon trips to special deep-drilling grounds!
• Besides oil, you can now also find water underground - which comes in handy when you want to drill faster and cheaper! But it's also essential for the production of the highly valuable petrol!

We're temporarily disabling the Weekly challenge highscore list due to technical issues. Rest assured, your highscores are securely stored and will be displayed once we've resolved the problem. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Dear oil entrepreneurs, Thank you for all the great feedback and support! We noticed that not every player had the time to complete a full multiplayer campaign. Because of this we are happy to add a single game mode to the multiplayer:

• Play a single level with random players
• Customize a single level to play with friends
• Single player tab added to the achievements overview

• Added pop-up to the start of single levels and weekly challenge with info about the level.
• Added help feature to the multiplayer menu.

• Changed wording in pause menu when watching a replay (it now says exit replay instead of stop level)

• Fixed issue with returning from watching a replay from the challenge highscore where it would always open the current challenge instead of the one you were looking at before
• Fixed issue with friends tab in weekly highscore menu where it would show scores for other challenges

Dear oil entrepreneurs, Thank you for all the feedback! We will bring you a update today to fix some small issues in multiplayer mode:

• After leaving a multiplayer match where all other players left before the end, you will no longer get a pop-up with a warning about abandoning games prematurely (this will also not count as a game leave).
• Added the option to delete custom games that are still waiting to start.
• Fixed a bug where the game gets stuck when someone reaches exactly 50% of the shares.

Dear oil entrepreneurs, Thank you for all the feedback on the multiplayer update! We will bring you a small update today to fix some issues with multiplayer matches that get stuck early in the game. Unresponsive players get removed from the match in the first turn When a player now leaves a match in the first turn without playing the level, they are no longer part of that running game to make room for another player. This way we want to reward participation and hopefully prevent more games from getting stuck. Next to the issue above we fixed some problems with missing text in the localization of multiplayer.

Dear oil entrepreneurs, We are happy to announce that with this update, Turmoil Multiplayer is finally here! We dig it (ha!), and hope you will too! Many thanks to all the players who helped us by playtesting, filling in questionnaires and reporting bugs! Now we suspect you may want to know whats in store in Turmoil Multiplayer, so heres a short roundup of whats what:

• Turmoil Multiplayer is like playing a campaign with human opponents instead of NPC's, on a new and smaller map, but with the same area and technology progression as in the main game.
• Join a random campaign and stack up your skills against players across the globe, or create a custom campaign with up to 3 of your friends to battle out who will become the next oil baron(ess)!
• Adjust the conditions of any custom campaign with your friend(s) via custom game options: add AI players and tweak their difficulty level, adjust the turn time for each round, and specify your starting funds. The world is your oil-ster!
• Move to the Multiplayer town close to the sea, bid on the plots youd like to own, take turns drilling for oil, join in the blind stock auction and cleverly outbid your opponents, and win the Mayors best-looking locomotive!
• Watch a recap after every round of digging and bidding to keep track of who is winning, and what strategy everyone used in the previous round, so you can outsmart them next time!
• Choose your own username and take your pick from multiple different characters and portrait frames!

• Part 1: An introduction (https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/361280/view/3126057181558273704)

• Option to disable mousewheel wagon assignment to companies.
• Option to replace fonts with dyslexia-friendly variants (Supported languages; English, Brazilian Portuguese, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Hungarian, Polish).

• The close toggle for planned elbows is now disabled when the pipe you are building is canceled (by hitting a rock).
• Wagons no longer ignore the oil in your silos after you connect two fully upgraded pipes to a rig.

The conceiving of multiplayer

The multiplayer campaign

Turn-based versus real-time addendum

To close

Dear oil magnates, Today we bring a small update that prevents your campaign from getting stuck due to bugs. Of course we always try to solve bugs before they reach you, but when one manages to slip through it is better to have a fail-safe.

Corrupted levels workaround

A small hotfix to yesterdays update to fix some minor bugs.

Changelog

• The campaign AI will now purchase upgrades in a logical order again, which may slightly impact difficulty. Shout-out to Stuff+ for pointing this out. Yes, the AI does need to purchase upgrades in order to improve their profits.
• Town upgrade scroll tooltip now appears on the correct position for resolutions other than 1920x1080
• You can now use the enter key to purchase upgrades in town when selected.

Dear oil entrepreneurs, Version 3.0.38 of Turmoil is now available. This patch brings some minor bugfixes and several changes to tune the game balance.

Game speed has been lowered by 10%

Mole changes

Other changes

• Updated localization files.
• Reduced general memory usage.
• The Higher/Lower minigame now retains the same set of cards after reloading the campaign.
• Added particles to The Heat Is On stock auction.

Fixes

• The in-level silo tutorial now gives you the proper amount of money required to complete the tutorial. A rounding error caused you to have too little money in some scenarios, which meant you could not continue the tutorial.
• The single game menu now uses the entered seed when starting the level, fixing some edge cases where it would previously not use the seed.
• The post-campaign dialog in The Heat Is On now uses the correct localization after having played the bonus island.
• Resolved a UI issue related to attempting to build a pipe to the very edge of the screen in fullscreen mode.
• The Tip Top achievement is attainable again, now by reading all the tips in the Turmoil campaign instead of buying them.
• Fixed an issue where the "All Oil Sold" bonus was awarded even though not all oil was sold.
• Fixed an issue where the Magmificent achievement requirement applied to the oil well's radius, instead of the volume as was intended. This makes the achievement easier to obtain.

Next up: Multiplayer

Patch notes for hotfix version 3.0.35e

• Fixed an issue where cloud save would not trigger after every campaign save, causing desynchronisation between your local and cloud save when switching between devices.

Hello all. Today we discovered an issue that prevented some players from logging in and thus from setting a nickname or submitting Weekly Challenge levels. This patch fixes the issue. If you find yourself being unable to set a nickname or submit a level, please check that you're running version 3.0.35d (seen in the bottom left of the main menu).

Hello! Today we bring to you some bugfixes and minor additions. Thanks to everyone in the community for reporting the bugs and for suggesting improvements.

• Fixed an issue where syncing with the cloud would cause you to lose access to the expert mode if you had not won the Heat Is On expansion campaign.
• You can no longer close valves while holding a wagon, silo, rig, dowser, scanner or mole.
• Added option to only toggle valves by holding Control, then clicking. It can be found in Settings->Game. The option is turned off by default.
• Starting a Challenge level right before the deadline and submitting it after the deadline no longer submits the level for the new Challenge. This caused players to be locked out from the new Challenge since they had now submitted a level for the new Challenge.
• Winning the campaign before the final year now awards the expert mode. Previously the expert mode would only be unlocked when playing to the end of the campaign. This applies to both classic Turmoil campaign and The Heat Is On.
• Improve text alignment for building names and player names. Mostly noticable in languages that use a non-default font. Thanks to Bokor for noticing this in the Hungarian version of the game.
• Fixed an in-level integer overflow issue related to rig spillage that would cause submitted replays to be invalidated.
• Fixed an issue where combining silos into a supersilo would play both the upgrade and the Cannot afford audio effect.
• The level seed is now shown in the post-level statistics screen when playing a Single Game.
• Having a bad connection to the game server no longer causes the game to take longer to start.
• Play building placement error sound when trying to build a building over another.
• Fixed issue where the floating heads above town buildings would not appear if you had exactly 50% stocks.
• When holding a scanner: the scanner price preview is now layered in front of the grass.

Howdy oil entrepreneurs, Today we present to you, Turmoil version 3.0. Turmoil is rebuilt completely from the ground up in order to facilitate all the new stuff coming your way.

Your Campaign in progress

Modding

Dear oil entrepreneurs, It's been quiet here for a long time, and that's about to change! We've been working hard on a complete rebuild of the game, as well as a version for mobile. And, as promised: a multiplayer campaign! But before we can roll out all of this good stuff, we need to gradually test if everything is in working order. We could use your help with this! You can find a button on the store page to sign up for a playtest of the new Turmoil. We will soon start this playtest with a limited number of volunteers. New things we want to test are:

• Replays of the Weekly Challenge
• In-game Weekly Challenge leaderboard and history
• Tutorial 'videos'
• New and improved in-game UI
• New languages (Turkish, Korean, Hungarian)
• New aspect ratios (no more black bars in 16:9 full screen mode)
• Loading screen tips
• And hopefully the absence of lots of imperfections from the old version!

We're happy to announce here that Turmoil is now available for Nintendo Switch! The version for Nintendo Switch includes the base game and the DLC The Heat Is On. So if you feel like playing Turmoil on your TV or on the go, make sure to get it! There's a special 20% launch discount. And while we've got your attention, we'll have more exciting news in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!

This is a patch for a minor UI issue that allowed players to start campaigns as the wrong character, corrupting the campaign and crashing the game at the first stock auction. This patch includes the following changes

• Fixed an issue where the game would remember the character you selected when in the DLC character select, then allowing you to start the game as a DLC character in the regular campaign.
• Fixed an issue where the stock auction would crash when trying to load a non-existant image.

Multiplayer

New Challenge Modes

Mobile

Briquid

Dear oil barons, Update 44 is not the biggest ever. It fixes a strange gas situation that we've found out about quite late. It turned out that growing gas went extra fast when fast forwarding the game. This has been balanced now. And among others, we've also added the option to use the mouse cursor from your operating system. Here's the full list!

Patchnotes for version 2.0.10

• Added option to use the native OS cursor ingame.
• Fixed a drawing issue with oil in pipes if the pipes were built in a specific order.
• Fixed that text on oil drops in the land auction was scaled twice.
• Fixed that the land lease would not be repaid and the land lease bonus not applied when stopping a level through the pause menu (contrary to the finances menu).
• Fixed several inconsistencies in pipe heat and oil to gas conversions between game speeds (this affected the ingame speedup, and did NOT affect 30fps vs 60fps)

Dear non (or sometimes) spillers of oil,

Turmoil changelog for version 2.0.9

• Fixed that the buy/sell prices of treasures in the Underground Collection did not properly scale depending on the area they are found in.
• Fixed that the fog did not rise 2 months faster in The Heat Is On levels as intended.
• Fixed that one artefact of each area would not spawn in that area, requiring you to buy it on the treasures marketplace every time.

• Decreased maximum price that treasures are sold at on the Underground treasures market.
• Increased minimum and maximum price that collectors will offer you on the
• Underground treasures market.
• Collectors on the Underground treasures market will no longer offer to sell you treasures that you already own or offer to buy treasures that you do not own.

Hi all,

We have a small but important update for you: we were able to fix the Audio Bug that has been hounding us.

Hi all,

We have a small but important update for you: we were able to fix the Audio Bug that has been hounding us.

This week marks the 25th time that a Weekly Challenge is underway. We've never really given it much attention, so this feels like a good opportunity. Personally, I've enjoyed it a lot. And I'm not the only one. Each week, at least 1500 players take on the nerve-wracking challenge to earn as much cash a possible in just one try. It's way more popular than we expected it to be. A big thank you to all you for that!

Happy drilling!

We've updated the game today, just to announce another new game of ours: Team Racing League: http://store.steampowered.com/app/504460

Hi all,

We are up to version 1.2.6 of Turmoil. Update #37 - Audio Bully is dedicated to a number of fixes, most importantly the audio bug that repeated certain sound effects continuously. Another bigger fix is that players will now be able to play without an online connection again. After the Weekly Challenge update that was not possible any more.

• Audio - Added a reset sound button to the pause menu that will stop all sounds for a moment. Use this when sound gets stuck in a loop.
• UI - Fixed several missing hover sounds, incorrectly centered text and positioning of a few sprites.
• Crash - Game should no longer crash when incorrectly loading the weekly challenge. Check the Discussion here.
• Campaign - William now correctly shows up on level 6 to tell you that the new level length is 12 months.

• Loading times between screens are now shorter.
• Added a confirmation window when returning to main menu from the town.
• Land auction - The AI opponents now take less time to bid on land when playing on a slower computer.
• Localization - Updated several Russian translations.
• Localization - Reduced the scale of some texts that did not fit on specific translations.

Hi all, So, as promised, here is the first of two updates: Replay Bonus Island. After this we will work on a localization update and try to bring you that ASAP.

The big difference that today’s update brings is that you get control over how you play Single Levels. And that will make it more FUN! We’ve added sliders in the Area select screen that correspond with the Seed number. You will be able to determine how much Oil, Gas and Rock are in a level.

• Improved Single Level game mode.

Hi all,

Welcome to our newest post of our ‘In the Pipeline’ series. This is our way of letting you know what we are working on, what we are thinking about and what we know we want to do:

It’s time to update you on the state of the game and future plans. Players who tuned into the live streams on Twitch (www.twitch.tv/gamiousdev) already heard about it. But here it is for the rest of you:

• Single Level Improvements
• Localization

• New Map/Area’s
• Single Level Leaderboards and Challenges
• Future content

Hi all, We're giving away Turmoil to promote a new game: Team Racing League. We need to find players for the Alpha tests for Team Racing League.

To try and get some eyeballs on it we are hosting the #betterwith3 competition. You can read more about that on http://www.teamracingleague.net But what is basically entails is that we want you to post something fun with the hashtag #betterwith3 and link to http://www.teamracingleague.net The best posts will earn a Turmoil code and in the end we will give away a Steam Machine with a bunch of multiplayer games. There are not too many entries yet, so your chances of winning are quite big! For inspiration check these tweets or search #betterwith3

Hi all, We’re getting into the rhythm of updating more regularly once more. Today’s update is not huge, but there are some good fixes and a nice new feature. Using your mouse wheel to send Wagons to factories for instance. You won’t have to click anymore if you so choose.

Also important in today’s update is the fact that the AI in Normal Mode has been upgraded. Anyone who watched our live streams on Twitch (www.twitch.tv/gamiousdev) will have noticed that our AI competition was not buying enough upgrades. That has been fixed.

• Clicking on a building will now open AND close a dialog window. So you don’t have to click X if you don’t want to.
• Mouse wheel scroll can now be used to assign Wagons to factories. You have to hover above the factories to make this work.
• Our new game icon should now also appear in the taskbar.

• Fixed AI not buying enough upgrades. This will also make them score better on their levels!
• Fixed the apostrophe missing in Dollar amounts above 1 million.
• Fixed a few Windows sticking out on the bottom.
• Fixed Oil sticking out of Wagons.
• Fixed Oil being drawn over snow where it should not.

Hi all, At Gamious we work with different teams for different projects. So while one small team is working on Turmoil (and still is) another slightly larger team is working on our newest game: Team Racing League.

Hi all,

Today’s update is a big one. Turmoil will be playable on all the Steam supported OS’s from now on. We’d like to thank all the testers who played the game and gave us feedback on these builds.

Hi all,

We know that performance is a major issue. And on most systems Turmoil works well. But we want to try and make it even better. After today’s update Turmoil will run smoother on more PC’s. Why? We’ve made the game run at 60FPS (or 30FPS if you want) and we’ve added a toggle for Anti-Aliasing. This should mean that Turmoil runs on more PC’s without issue.

The game will start in 30FPS and with Anti Aliasing turned OFF.

• Added 60FPS option. You can now choose between 30 and 60FPS.
• Added a toggle for Anti Aliasing.

• Fixed the factory smoke adding up during Pause. This should fix one or two crashes.

Hi all,

The last update aimed to fix an important crash. We’ve not had any new comments in the forum, so it sounds like that did the job. Since that update we’ve had no other major issues pop up either. So the game is in a good state. Time to move forward!

• Press and Hold ‘X’ to use Fast Forward.
• The Bird now really doesn’t fly over any windows any more.
• Fixed NPC’s not buying the proper upgrades.
• Fixed NPC’s digging up Diamonds without the upgrade.
• Fixed a visual issue with clouds and the Special Power text overlapping.

Hi all, Today we are updating the game for the second time since release. We hope that the fixes and changes will help players with the most pressing issues.

The crash that was mentioned most in the forums was the Out of Memory/Vertex Buffer problem. We have changed the way some of the in-game stuff is drawn in order to fix this. So, please try again! If the problem persists, let us know. You can maybe prevent the issue by playing Windowed in 1920x1080. This worked as a fix in some cases. Besides that we’ve fixed and changed a number of smaller issues. Here is the full changelist:

• Fixed the way we draw stuff in-game in order to fix the Out of Memory and Vertex Buffer crashes.
• Fixed The end of game report finances not showing bank debt properly.
• Fixed Daisy buying the Diamond upgrade before getting the Mole.
• Fixed a glitch in the end of year report Graphs.
• Fixed money stacks in the profit window showing up tiny in higher resolutions.
• Fixed the bird flying in front of certain UI windows.

• You can now still get offered money for diamonds if you don’t have any. But you will only have a Cancel option.
• Clicking on the map will now also start the Land Auction.
• Removed the erroneous tool tip ‘Upgrade all Wagons’ after upgrading all Wagons.
• Increased the size of the hitbox ‘Dig!’ in town.
• Fast Forward will now stop when you roll off the button with the mouse cursor.

Hi all, Welcome to this first post release update! We'll keep counting on however, so it's update #27. First of all: THANKS! It's been an amazing weekend. We were hoping for a good launch, but the launch exceeded our expectations and we're super happy about it. The only downside to having a massive amount of new players is having some new bugs and crashes pop up. So, in an attempt to help everyone as quick as we can, on Monday, this Monday, we bring the first update. This won't fix every bug or crash. But on short notice we're helping a lot of folks out, so hopefully it works for you. Changelist:

• Fixed 'Invalid Comparison type in gml_Object_god_other_2
• Fixed 'unable to find any instance for object index '29' name 'totalstats''
• Fixed translations not working in the Auction screens.

After almost exactly 1 year, we just hit the 'Leave early Access' button. It has been a great experience for us, and we want to thank all the players for their trust, ideas, and feedback. Turmoil would have been half as good without it.

Turmoil is Now Available on Steam and is 10% off!*

Drill for oil like it's 1899! Turmoil offers players a visually charming, tongue-in-cheek take on the simulation genre inspired by the 19th century oil rush in North America.

*Offer ends June 9 at 10AM Pacific Time

We're nearing a release version! Another quick update today to fix a few things that were on the list:
Changelist

• Removed a weird image popping up in the corner of the screen.
• Removed the Undefined buttons in-game.
• Reduced the Vulture SFX in town.

Hi all, Next Thursday Turmoil is coming out of Early Access. We’re almost there! We have a small update that is mostly devoted to language fixes. We’ve also added Dutch as a language option in this build. NOTE: we removed some shader FX because they were crashing the game. We're working on it and trying to fix it before release.
Apologies for the aweful image, but we're moving and still unpacking and don't have all our gear. This was quicker :) New

• The buildings in area 4 now all have snow on them as well.

Hi all,

Next Thursday Turmoil is coming out of Early Access. We’re almost there! An important addition to the game are languages and we’ve decided to translate the game in French, German, Spanish, Italian and later also Dutch. Why not [insert your language here]? Well, we want a professional translation and the game has become text heavy over time. So it’s more work and costlier to translate. Adding another language is not possible right now, but after release we will re-evaluate and possibly do [insert your language as well].

• Translations for French, German, Spanish and Italian. Dutch will follow later.

• It’s not possible to start drilling from Left and Right Factories. You can now only drill towards them.
• In preparation for Launch we have removed the Area choice when starting a campaign.
• Expert Mode is now locked until Normal Mode has been won.

• least there is no miscommunication.

• Title screen small improvements.
• New Single Game screen.

Hi all, Thanks for being patient. This has been the longest we have gone without updating the game. So I’ll keep it short as the change list is quite long. One thing: We are still working on the Steam integration stuff. A lot of time has gone into that, but we’re not done yet.
The most important new features are the Mayor’s Tips where, for a small donation, the Mayor will help you with a top tip. It’s all functional now, but the art is not final yet. We’ll work on that in the coming weeks. Other notable changes: building animations and underground art polish. It all looks a lot better underground right now. Enjoy! New

• New hotkey -- Spacebar to Pause the game.
• Statistics – We’re now tracking total statistics and showing them to the player after the campaign.

[EDIT] ARGH, Sorry, we just found a bug in one of the new features. We'll get it fixed ASAP and update tonight or tomorrow. Hey all, Another heads up, especially for new players: We will be updating the game TODAY. For the first time in a long time this update will include a SAVE GAME RESET.
As always you can start a new campaign (Normal or Expert Mode) in Area 1, 2, 3 or 4 to minimize the setback. Info on the contents of the update will follow later today.

Hi all, It's been a long time since we updated. As mentioned on the stream (which is usually on Tuesday 5pm CEST) we've been working on Steam integrations and Mayor's Tips. Due to all the changes we will have to RESET all progress. So BE WARNED:
You can of course still start a new campaign (Normal or Expert Mode) in Area 1, 2, 3 or 4. So your loss of progress should be minimal. We hope to update later this week.

Hi all,

We would like to talk a little bit about what the past ten months have brought us and what we intend to do in the next two. Early Access has been great to us as a company as a whole and for Turmoil specifically. Thanks to you.

Hi all,

Welcome to our newest post of our ‘In the Pipeline’ series. This is our way of letting you know what we are working on, what we are thinking about and what we know we want to do:

• Mayor’s Tips.
• Single Game improvements.
• Steam back end.
• Tweaks, crashes and bugs.

• Mac (and probably Linux).
• Steam Leaderboards.
• Steam Trading cards.
• Steam Achievements.
• Steam Cloud Saves.

Hi all,

This update is quite a big one. We’ve been working on it for a while now: Expert Mode. This new campaign will add a chunk of replayability to the game. Something that you (and we) have wanted for some time. Expert Mode is essentially the same campaign but the AI is much tougher. Be prepared to lose!

• Expert Mode – Challenge yourself. This also introduces new playable characters with personal perks: -Jim Bob little cousin will run ahead and mark your first oil field before you even get there. -Larry likes to live large and takes $2500 to each plot instead of $2000 -Lisa charms her way into Barney’s life and never has to pay Spillage fines. -Henry is a Mole's best friend. They will spot a Diamond for him without effort.

• Audio – Ambient sound for every Area. NOTE: this is separate from SFX and Music and does NOT have it’s own volume slider YET.
• Audio - Lots of new Sound FX like Thermal expansion, Stock Auction counter, Drill sounds, end-game stats and more.
• AI – improved balance in NPC earnings after each round.
• Anthony – can now always be found in the Saloon at the start of Area 3 and 4. This makes him much more powerful

• Fixed the end of level screenshot not functioning properly on Fast Forward. (Thanks Asuman1179)
• Dowser animation now properly speeds up when Fast Forwarding.
• Mole animation now properly speeds up when Fast Forwarding.

• A campaign where you build your rags-to-riches oil baron career and beat your rivals.
  
• Dozens of upgrades and new tools to improve your oil mining operations.
  
• Meet the town’s characters in the saloon and make shady business deals.
  
• Play single game mode to get one of literally millions of procedurally generated levels and earn as much as you can in one year.
  
• Steam Achievements, Badges, Trading Cards and Cloud Saving.
  
• Lease land at the town auction and search for oil using a dowser, mole or scanner.
  
• Maximize your profits by using natural gas to boost the oil price.
  
• Outbid your competitors at the stock auction.
