Happy February everybody! Making it Home version 1.3.0 is out now. The list of changes is small, but they are significant. We noticed that you were not really playing the challenge modes much, other than the $10,000 sandbox, so the focus of this update is to try and improve the challenge mode. We have made a few key changes. Firstly, we have reduced the number of challenge modes so there are now three challenges and one sandbox. Before there was just so much choice I think it was overwhelming.

Expect to see motherships, carrots and bridges in all the challenge modes (but not the sandbox).

Instead we have hand crafted 69 sets of vehicle components which are picked at random. Each set has a sort of theme and tries to make you think about vehicle design differently. We wanted to give those of you who love optimising a vehicle design a new mini challenge just waiting for you each day if you fancy it.

[*] There is now a single daily, weekly and monthly challenge alongside the sandbox mode. [*] The vehicle does no longer save it's state in challenge and sandbox modes. Essentially this means if any panels get destroyed during a challenge mode run they will reappear in blueprint mode when you retry. [*] Fixed a bug caused when two panels in the same column get destroyed in the same frame. [*] Changed the random distribution of panel unlocks in Act 1 to improve the new player experience. [/list]
