Hi there! = Optimization = When working on improving the AI player, I notice that battle code requires optimizations, the need for RAM is slightly increasing after each fight, and I need to find out where is leaking. New AI player use simulations a lot, so the amount of used Ram is going crazy. Noticed that there was no big visible progress from last time and the Festival of Strategy game is coming, the 8 Sins will be now a priority. So my current goals: 1. Optimization of the battle code; 2. Refresh the game page; 3. Add multiplayer. Depending on how good the Festival will go for this project, after finishing the goals, I gonna start working on major update immediately. = About refreshing the game page = Because of the planned major updates and incoming Festival, I decided to try to make a new logo, and of course refresh capsule art (for the rest maybe later), here are some rough concepts of that: [img]https://m.gjcdn.net/fireside-post-image/800/25284424-wuanadtu-v4.webp[/img] = Map = Still improving the last added biome to make it looks more differently than others, at first place it was too purple like the volcano biome: [img]https://m.gjcdn.net/fireside-post-image/800/25284422-ll-snbmqad9-v4.webp[/img] = City Builder? = Some time ago I was mentioning about making a panorama screen and whether this is necessary or not. And I mentioned about city builder module. Interested in that, I make another concept of such screens, where every town generates some point like "Units: Brute" or "Kindom: Magic", and if there are enough of them, the current technology level go up and players can unlock new units or items.

And was thinking, about how my game can look if I gonna increase the screen size by double: [img]https://m.gjcdn.net/fireside-post-image/700/25284423-ll-k6suhcqn-v4.webp[/img] Thanks for reading and see you next time!
