Game update

v Alpha.22 - Seasons, Board Controls, and Movment Planning

Magic Sword · published 9 Feb 2025, 09:05 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Seasons are here! ❄️🌸☀️🍂
Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall now affect gameplay—some tasks become easier, while others get more challenging. Adapt your strategies and plan ahead! Markets have also been revamped: instead of appearing at random, they now follow a predictable seasonal cycle, allowing you to plan your trades more effectively.

🎮 New Board Controls
Click & Drag Panning – Move around the board seamlessly with your mouse.
Scroll Wheel Zooming – Get a better view by zooming in and out with ease.

⚔️ Movement Just Got Smarter
No more guessing what lies ahead! Now, when moving to a new tile, a pop-up will preview potential hazards, enemies, and opportunities before you commit. Plan your moves wisely!

🐛 Bug Fixes & Improvements
Fixed an issue where attempting to drop an item with 6 or more items in inventory could cause the game to freeze.
Various other tweaks to enhance gameplay and stability.

------------------------
This update brings a major shift in strategy, and we’d love to hear what you think! Drop your feedback, and join our Discord for more discussions and behind-the-scenes insights.
