Green Again is taking part in TactiCon from July 17-21! To prepare the Sproutlings for this big event, here's a new update! The Lore Tree is a major new feature to our demo, so this update mostly focuses on polishing it, with numerous bug fixes, visual improvements and QoL changes to the Lore Tree alongside optimizations on other aspects of the game as well.
Another highlight for the update is the reintroduction of building visual changes with higher tech levels. Certain buildings, including base structures, wells, farms and outposts, will have a more advanced-looking sprites as you unlock more of the tech tree. This feature has been in the game for a while, but it was previously linked to specific upgrades. It was temporarily removed in recent versions due to the Lore Tree changes and has now been reimplemented in a more straightforward and noticeable format.
