Thanks to our community members' help, we were able to pin point and fix the campaign save bug that happens after you destroy 1 enemy on the campaign that has more than 1 enemies. Thanks for your continued interest in Ground Breakers, we are still trying to improve it.

Just look at the title, this version is just some critical bug fixes. Because critical bugs are urgent, and need hot fix. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New version detail 1. New features:

• None, this is a bug fix patch.

• Buff Minig0d, mostly heat cost reduction, skill cooldown and range tweak.
• Store battle log's open status (so you don't have to toggle it each times you play the game).

• Fixed a bug on scenario when you cleared all 8 floors, it fails to show the floors again.
• Fixed wrong chip icons in the Delegate Scenario reward.
• Fixed a bug happens when you craft a robot in the campaign and switch to unit scene, the game will fail to show the full list of robots you have.

A player helped pointing out the bug with resolution changing results in disappear UI and the game didn't un-pause after the option window closed so this is our top priority to send a hot fix. Aside from that, I'll list all the change that worth being mentioned here:

• Fix the audio volume setting and some other options didn't get saved.
• Fix rollur's AI sometimes try to roll to a nonsense position.
• Balance the Hijacked game mode, you can now use another robot to stand next to the hijacked one to take the hijacker from him/her/apache. In the easier battle, the enemy in this mode will also only have 4 robots max since having the hijacked robot is already a big disadvantage.

This version is only uploaded to the beta branch and not the default one. We are experimenting with multiple profiles. Basically players could choose a new profile and replay from the beginning. Initially we want to backup player progress to both the steam cloud and hard disk but the way we did thing make it really hard so the steam cloud will have to be delayed further more. Losing progress is a really serious problem so we will keep improving profile save/load process. Also Ria has changed her appearance.

We have to disable cloud save until we make sure it won't affect player data. Sorry if it cause you any trouble and if it already had, lets us know and we will try to come up with some solutions. Happy gaming!

Steam client update may have messed up with the cloud save somehow, some players who previously using local data experienced data loss. Pls don't open ground breakers until we completely remove steam cloud support. Your data will be safe even with steam cloud enabled earlier but we will no longer support steam cloud.

We used the wrong configuration for the server and it was not reliable for live battle. We fix that now and hopefully it fix the issues some of you have due to bad server. Tell us if you still encounter live battle problems.

As you may have already noticed, our recent patches from the past month have all been named Release Candidates. That can only mean one thing: We are transitioning from early access to full release.
Though we considered extending the Early Access process further, the team agrees Ground Breakers has leveled up to a feature-complete, full game now and is ready to serve a larger audience.
We are really proud of our overall progress and we couldn’t have done it without the help from our Early Access players. Thanks for all your patience and understanding when encountering bugs or portions of bad design. The feedback and suggestions have helped make the game what it is today -- just check the community posts and patch notes, and you’ll know what I'm talking about.
Most importantly, this does not mean will we stop polishing and fixing the game -- we have a lot of ideas for new features that we hope to integrate after launch. Please help us spread the word: Ground Breakers 1.0 arrives June 15!

• Reduce the requirement for Cablenex's Long neck big mouth, it's easier to pick a bounced back position now

It's been 3 weeks since our last update. The reason is still Parse.com. We used Parse to host our online contents but Facebook just shut down the service so we have to spend a S load of time to migrate it to another service.

I'm on a lots of coffee, it's hard for me to sleep now :). The zombiefication has begun. Enough about me, lets talk about the game. We are still improving the campaign and the relation between organization. In the campaign, Organizations have hatred toward each other, "make war not love" kind of stuff. Hatred affect a lots of things, from your success rate to make alliance, to Buying region, and who hate you will love to attack you. Hatred raise naturally when organizations attack each other, or do some dirty stuff, like causing riot to happen on enemy land, poach enemy's officers. You could also reduce hatred by release other side's prisoners, or just wait till your hater get familiar with you. The robot repairing is also updated, repairing them will take some turns so players could try different robots. Of course you could always focus on keeping your robots from getting damaged to abuse them. and CLOUD SAVE! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New version detail 1.

[quote]It's been a long time since our last patch. The reason is not because the development is slowed down or something like that, we have been working on the really big update for Campaign - the Combat Officers system. And it's a really large system! http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=637582119 Since the game's theme is Companies trying to take over the work, we are adding human management, employment, salary, loyalty... for campaign mode. You will have to try to find for best talents or steal it from other companies and keep them loyal to you. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=637581807 Combat Officers stats affect the whole robot team so it'll add another depth to the battle without increasing the complexity of the control system. These will only affect Campaign mode and planned to be release in the middle of March so stay tuned.[/quote] This is a huge update for the campaign mode and I feel very proud to introduce this new system to our campaign.

The reason is not because the development is slowed down or something like that, we have been working on the really big update for Campaign - the Combat Officers system. And it's a really large system! http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=637582119 Since the game's theme is Companies trying to take over the work, we are adding human management, employment, salary, loyalty... for campaign mode. You will have to try to find for best talents or steal it from other companies and keep them loyal to you. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=637581807 Combat Officers stats affect the whole robot team so it'll add another depth to the battle without increasing the complexity of the control system. These will only affect Campaign mode and planned to be release in the middle of March so stay tuned.

[/quote] You have the chip compression item called Compressor Tokens, now it can be used by the Compress feature in the Unit management screen.

Our focus in the previous week was to fine tune the Infinity Mine and the new "Robot Upgrade" feature. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-pJDKD8Z7c Here is the Infinity Mine's feature that has been introduced since last week on the beta branch [quote=Update 4] We feel like the game lack goal, objectives and progress so we are adding Infinity mine mode and Player's level. Those 2 mentioned above will be featured in the beta version, you could change the game property to beta to use it any time you want. Note that the beta version will likely have more bugs than default version. Infinity Mine Well not infinity yet! We are only testing 10 levels at the moment. The mine is a great place to farm for robot parts, and higher material parts like Silver, Gold... instead of just Iron parts like at other places. The format is changed from balance to us vs a lots of them, smaller robots and big bosses. It's extremely hard! [/quote] Now the boss is smarter but we reduce the minions spawn rate to balance it. Previously the higher material parts can't be used yet. We added it to the robot upgrade function now, just go to the Lab and click on tab upgrade to use it. Pls tell us what you think so we could make it better.
