Postponement of the update release
Hello everyone!
We work like bees, but this did not save us from postponing the update!
In the last message we wrote that we were going to add a new era, game mode, weather, etc. to the game. During the development process, at almost every stage we were faced with the fact that we were not happy with the results of our work, there were new ideas and what had already been done before was been polishing. Because of this, there was more work, and we liked the idea of limiting ourselves to a certain date less and less, because otherwise we would not have time to do everything as we planned.
Also, since we don't have a publisher, we handle all the legal issues ourselves. This also takes a lot of time and sometimes forces us to be distracted from development. We still have not received money from the sales of the game and are unlikely to receive it before December due to the legal peculiarities of our country, company, bank, etc. But we do not despair and continue development with the money that we have left.
Now, I think its enough of our whining and you're ready to see what we've already done!
We have done a lot of work and are pleased to announce that from a technical point of view the new game mode is ready, and now we are developing levels and an UI for it. The game mode will be similar to TABS and Beseige.
Also, we have completely thought through the new era. In the fourth era, the player will have access to 2 new resources. Plasma and energy. They will be produced in the corresponding buildings and will be spent by defensive buildings. For example, a plasma gun will not be able to shoot endlessly like a minigun; it will consume plasma from its storage.
New units of bees and enemies will appear in the game. And at the end of the era, the player will face a boss who, with his size and power, will become a real challenge and will make the ending more difficult.

Night and weather conditions will appear in the game, including a thunderstorm, during which lightning will set buildings on fire. To minimize the damage, it will be necessary to build lightning rods.
