Development Update #3
Hey, everyone! It has been a couple of weeks since we last posted an update, but we can assure you we are still working hard on making the game better and more exciting! Here are some of the things we have been working on:
[h2]New tutorial character[/h2]
We have a brand new character to guide you through the first two tutorials in the game, and now he's fully animated! There will be soon another addition to the family, who will have the leading role in some of the more advanced tutorials to come. He sure looks surprised in this small preview!
[h2]Skip maintenance! (or maybe not?)[/h2]
Players now have the option to skip maintenance on their power plants. Sometimes you simply cannot afford to have one of your main power generating facilities shut down for a few hours. You should always have a backup plan for those cases, of course... But if you don't, you can simply decide to skip maintenance procedures. You might be lucky and get away with it... Or not!
[h2]A brand new soundscape[/h2]
Our sound designers have been working very hard in order to create an exciting yet nuanced soundscape for the game. They have redesigned all the environment sounds in order to create a fully immersive experience. The camera's zoom level, the weather, the surroundings, the power buildings... all of them will contribute to creating a great audio experience for all our players.

We have also been working hard at making the gameplay experience better and smoother for our players. Small UI tweaks, a greater zoom out distance and an easier to use Settings window: they all contribute to a better user experience.
