Now, fully upgraded cities provide a bonus of your choice: money generation, reputation generation, the ability to use the city as a warehouse for storing resources, or the ability to create police officers (unlocks later in the game). You’re probably wondering: “What police officers?"
And here we come to the second major new feature of the update: bandit camps. They appear only in Classic mode. Bandits raid your carriages traveling in the area near their camp. In other words, every few minutes, they loot one of your carriages. Moreover, if you don’t take action against a bandit camp, it will expand over time. As it expands, the radius and frequency of raids will increase. To eliminate the camp and arrest the bandits, you’ll need police officers. Police officers are earned by upgrading towns, and are also available as an optional bonus for a fully upgraded town.
You don’t have to start a new game from scratch to see these changes. They also apply to saved games loaded from the old version.
New backgrounds have been added to the mine screens to provide variety and make it easier to quickly identify which mine the player is currently in.
Replaced the images of several map objects: Depot, Stadium, and Park. We’ve redesigned them to be more attractive and eye-catching.
Added a button to return to the last mine visited.
Fixed a bug where the interface could disappear after a mine explosion animation.
Fixed a bug where players might run out of dinosaur bones to fill the museum by the end of the game.
Fixed a bug that caused the names of some cities in the rating downgrade panel to be cut off.
What are we working on now? First and foremost, we’re working on what you’ve been asking for the most - a redesign of the upgrades screen. We’ll be presenting the new version to you soon. We also plan to start working on a new game mode in the near future - the so-called “New Game+”. Essentially, this will be a separate game mode with a high degree of randomness, but, for now, set on the familiar map from Campaign mode.
At the same time, one of our programmers is working on a Sandbox mode. We’ll soon show you the results of his work on random map generation.
We hope you enjoy today’s update! And we’re already preparing the next one to delight you even more! Thank you for playing Deep Corp!
