Sandstorms, upgradeable units and more lasers!

Greetings Calyx players!

[p][/p][p]We’re thrilled to say that over 60,000 of you now have the Calyx Demo installed.[/p][p][/p][h2]It’s now time for an update on what we’re planning next.[/h2][p][/p][h3]Here are some of the things we’re working on…[/h3]

[p]Events system – changing situations occur; for example, a sandstorm that reduces solar power and weapon range.[/p]
[p]Calyx species get even stronger, and lash out when attacked.[/p]
[p]Upgrade system – build the Unit Workshop to unlock unit upgrades.[/p]
[p]Formation types – select different shapes for groups of units and hit shift to flip them 180 degrees.[/p]
[p]Zeus Cannon unit – it’s a big laser tank![/p]
[p]Ore Thumper building – makes an Ore patch regenerate faster, but uses a lot of power.[/p]
[p]Flamethrower Turrets – a fiery new variant for your defences.[/p]
[p]New Challenge maps.[/p]
[p]More QOL improvements inc:[/p]
- [p]Show attack ranges of all objects[/p]
- [p]Disable chromatic aberration[/p]
- [p]Change autosave interval[/p]
- [p]Adjust volume of voices separately[/p]
[p]Plus lots more smaller tweaks, balancing and polish items.[/p]

[p]We’d like to say a huge thanks to everyone who’s played, reviewed and wishlisted so far. We’re thrilled so many of you see potential in the project![/p][p][/p][p]Stay tuned for another update soon, and in the meantime, come and check out our growing Discord community: https://discord.gg/3awHP4Cz [/p][p][/p][p]Cheers![/p][p]John, Mark and Phil :)[/p][p]Studio 568[/p]
