I am happy to announce that on August 3rd I will launch a big update for The Settlings Demo including new map, new mechanics and many more! [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41281037/e23feeef0f9ba9bccd8c7f53a429826ea03cf74b.png[/img] What's New: [list] [*] New Map with unlimited playtime - Forest Island [*] New water Boss: Octopus! [*] New Mechanic: Auto-shooting with Ballista for water Bosses [*] New Building: Siege Workshop where you produce bolts for Ballista [*] New Reward System on building placement [*] New UI with instant buy from the bottom bar [*] New Tutorial map: 10-minute experience for new players [*] New Tooltip system for buildings, inventory & spells [*] New 2-level house upgrade system [/list] Other changes: [list] [*] Old tutorials have been removed [*] The old demo map has been moved to the challenge mode and remains the same [*] Different starting conditions [*] The game starts in fullscreen [*] All critical and major bug fixes [/list] What is still missing: A LOT! Now, seriously: save system & celebration screen for finishing the lighthouse About me and what's next: As some of you may know, I am solo developing this game. It started as a hobby project back in Summer 2021, and for now, it is still a hobby project... But I am trying to use all my skills and do my best to find a way to go full-time game dev and build a great, engaging, and fun game - on those foundations we build together! Because without you, without your support, I wouldn't even have a chance to dream about an indie dev career! So stay tuned, and I will try to update you more regularly about what is going on :) Best, Ariano
