[p]v0.40 is released![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]HP regen has been a bottleneck in early game and if you don't unlock the overpowered 'Dolphin Blessing' skill, you tend to struggle much more. So I will introduce a skill that will increase HP regen passively. Since this is a passive, the effect is weaker than the dolphin blessing buff.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]This one mainly affects the full version content that I am working on, but also improves offline progress eventually: When adding Treasure Seeker and Jackpot, they did not increase the average gold gained, which often under-valued your gold gain in late game from offline progress, so this has been rectified! [/p][p][/p][p]A few changes have been made to the demo. I also fixed a bug where typing a savefile name (added back in v0.35) triggers shortcut keys to buy attributes.[/p][p][/p][p]Full changelog below:[/p][p][/p][h3]Content[/h3]

[p][/p][p]Siegeturtle is a game that looks simple but has many hidden mechanics that make it increasingly complex as you progress.[/p][p]A couple of improvements have been made after I watched LadyShelab play my game, which has been awesomely inspiring.[/p][p]The full changelog is at the end but I hope this makes it easier for new people to understand the game.[/p][p][/p][p]I did make a change: Since I did new damage numbers in v0.33, I wanted to improve the gold texts too, so I have done it this update! This makes gold numbers shine like gold :)[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The next few updates will focus on improving progression![/p][p][/p][h3]v0.38 will reduce early game costs[/h3][p]This update will introduce several improvements to the early game progression, such as having Lv 0 INT and VIT enhancements unlock at Level 50 instead of 100, making the first upgrade cost about 10% of its current cost.

So I will introduce a skill that will increase HP regen passively. Since this is a passive, the effect is weaker than the dolphin blessing buff.[/p][p][/p][h3]v0.41* (?) - New enhancement skills[/h3][p]Enhancing attributes is expensive, so 2 new skills will be added - one to decrease gold cost, and one to decrease attribute requirement to unlock enhancement levels. This gives you more flexibility and strategy on how you want to pick your skills, depending on what your current bottleneck is! Either way, you get either earlier or cheaper enhancements.[/p][p][/p][p]*Exact version to release subject to changes[/p][p][/p][h3]Full changelog[/h3][p][/p][p]Improvements:[/p]
