Engineer Alpha's Log #76: A New Way to Support and More

Engineer Alpha · published 25 Jan 2024, 20:33 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Version 0.7 got it's first development build last week and while things with it are certainly not perfect it is mostly functional. A new build will hopefully becoming out tomorrow that will include freight containers, assuming I can get a few more bugs fixed, as well as dynamite that you can place or throw. There are still a few more features that will be added to 0.7 in the coming weeks as it approaches its final release form so be on the lookout. There are of course bugs also and if you find them please submit them here on steam or in the official Discord.

I have created an official Patreon page for Engineer Alpha. If you are generous and you want to see Engineer Alpha developed further think about supporting it. It means a lot and will really help keep development going, Making an entire video game is a lot of work and I do need to eat at some point each month. You will also get access to some exclusive content only available to members I am not entirely sure what that will be yet but it will likely include more behind the scenes kind of things and likely some polls to vote on upcoming content.

You can check it out here: https://patreon.com/EngineerAlpha

In addition I will also be doing an AMA for anyone who is interested on February 24, 2024 at 3pm EST in the Engineer Alpha Discord. I will be answering any questions you have regarding; The game, its development, general game development, my favorite ice cream flavor, whatever. I will of course not answer anything hyper-personal or NSFW. I hope you can join me it should be a good time hopefully lasting about 2 hours or so. I will of course make several more reminders for you here and other places incase you forget.

Community2 May 2024Engineer Alpha's Log #84: But what is in 0.8?As of this log I have not talked about what is planned to be in version 0.8 and beyond but that is no more. The plan for 0.8 is to add in both electricity and oil. Electricity will function much like you would expect for a game like Engineer Alpha. You will have both generators and consumers and they will be connected together in a network. The current plan is that there will be several sizes o…Community25 Apr 2024Engineer Alpha's Log #83: Making Things Unlocked EarlierIn the last update to Engineer Alpha I moved around both Magnetubes and Cranes in the tech tree to make them reachable earlier. I did this for several reasons but will go into each individually. Conveyors have been causing me a fair bit of lag in my personal playing of Engineer Alpha. Of course buildings/objects that are inefficient are always going to be looked at to be improved. When it comes…Community4 Apr 2024Engineer Alpha's Log #82: Those Mining Drills, They SUCK!The most important part of any plan is knowing when to throw out the plan. The small and large mining drill that you unlock in the copper or iron tier respectively are intended to be a good source of resources throughout the early game. While they where never intended to completely replace hand mining at their point in the game they should make it start to feel like you need to do less and less…
