v0.39 - Mini shields!


v0.39 is released~

It revamps the research tree visually and adds 3 new research.


Mini Starting Shields

My favourite new research is Starting Shields, which protects the first X buildings of your bridge!

I found it quite a hassle that my starting builds are always super vulnerable to the storm, especially since researches give more and more starting buildings. So I thought, why not have a way to protect the first few buildings? Make them invulnerable. Is it too powerful? I don't know, but I think it is no harm for later stages of progression. A cool thing is that I made the shields adjust to the building's height - so they're taller for the cranes as previously the tiny spheres, while perfectly spherical, didn't look like they don't protect the tall buildings.

Research Tree Revamp

Also the research tree has been revamped. It adds branches so it is less linear.

Look at how far we have come since v0.5, which is barely two months ago.


Changelog:

  • - Research tree now has branches
  • - Add 'Starting Shields' research
  • - Add 'Extra Charcoal' research
  • - Add 'Guardian' research
  • - Default storage reduced: 100 -> 50
  • - Add new cookhouse icon
  • - Double prologue building speed

Known issues:

- Placing a shatterdome inside the mini shield will protect it indefinitely. This will be fixed in v0.40.

If you face any issues, let me know here or on Discord.

I liked the starting shields. I think you should keep them in. I dont think its too powerful

I've decided to keep them! I think it's also easily balanced since the research has a max level, and as more content gets introduced it can even be further increased :)
