This week was all about being [b]less annoying[/b]. With the game being played for the first time it was inevitable that a lot of problems come up. I tried to tackle the most annoying of them first.
I did not expect to implement the highly requested changes to [b]starting resources[/b] so fast, but after we found the solution it seemed more feasible. As a thanks to the community I did push trough and implemented it in a day, so its still very WIP but the idea seems to work.
The next big point was the [b]treasure collection[/b]. I think it being automatic at night turned out perfect.
That leaves us with the [b]king[/b]. He was only ever meant as a small random bonus, but that seems to be very annoying to some. I have an idea for him to make him more imminent useful without making him too OP or micro management intensive.
[h3]Localization[/h3]
The second topic of the week was definitely translatability. Our community members xvierlh, Raxxa and lost have started translating the game to Spanish, Italian and Brazilian Portuguese. Thanks! And they are so damn fast I had to make more of the game translatable. That was almost like a race. It took two full days but now everything, but attack and rank descriptions, is translatable. I'll try to release the German language soon. If you want to [b]help translating[/b] the game just write me on [url=https://discord.gg/XGSjjJ3B]Discord[/url]! Its really important to get the word out.
[h3]Feedback[/h3]
One of the most reported problem with the game is about the game's [b]feedback[/b]. What does that? How does this work? I know this is very annoying, but getting that perfect will be a long process. As a solo dev I have to focus. So I can only spend the hours to properly explain any function once I know it'll stay that way and works. I hope you can help me get there.
