Good day, fellow Meeps,
The World Turtle has shed a few scutes and its new shell is finally ready! But, along with the brand new UI comes some gameplay updates too, and another tutorial, focused on steering the World Turtle towards food in space. There are also a few short cutscenes included to highlight the most important events.
The UI update is not just a facelift of new art. Almost every element has been reworked to be snappier, look more pleasing, be more functional (including tutorials) and provide more information about the applicable mechanic at hand. It was quite a task trying to find locations for all the elements, but I think I landed on something that works well. Also, look out for places where you can actually tinker with what gets displayed, and how (as well as how large) it gets displayed, should you prefer an alternative option.
The biggest gameplay update centers around the turtle in space, which now includes naturally occurring food zones that help keep the Turtle's health up. You are able to steer the turtle around from very early on in the game, and the feeding and food zones have a larger impact on health.
More interaction with Tribal Camps has also been implemented. You are able to convince them to share their knowledge and assist with the construction and operation of Reflective Towers, which allows you to influence where Snow Comets will crash down, reducing damage.
We've aligned the release with the Steam Autumn Sale, and a nice discount, so it's a good time to hop on board for the journey if you aren't already a full-blown Meep! As always, please join us for a chat and/or provide feedback (and bug reports) on our Discord.
De Chelonian Mobile!
