[h3][/h3][p][/p][h3]Camping Redesign[/h3]

• [p]End Turn is now separate from Camping, allowing you to end the turn without performing any other actions.[/p]
• [p]Camping actions now require assigning party members to specific tasks — rest, cook, scavenge, repair, and more.[/p]
• [p]Scavenging added: you can now assign units to gather materials anywhere on a cleared hex. (Resources appear after clearing a POI — i.e. after all its floors are complete.)[/p]
• [p]Crafting Card Booster Packs added: craft a booster pack and choose 1 of 3 cards to add to your deck.[/p]
• [p]Healing updated: each End Turn now heals d3 Wounds (if you have Supplies). Camping can improve healing for the most wounded unit, with no risk of regression as before.[/p]
• [p]Equipment Screen redesigned for faster, cleaner access.[/p]
• [p]Group View now displays which cards belong to which NPCs — so you’ll know what you lose if someone doesn’t make it home.[/p]
• [p]Many new crafting items added, along with material rarity tiers.[/p]
• [p]Meals now have their own screen, clearly showing bonuses and effects.[/p]

[p]⚠️ Note: Because the Research/Tech Tree is not yet implemented, all item rarities are currently available from the start — this will change once the system is in place.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]City Upgrades[/h3]

• [p]3MD Printforge is now part of the Core Development Room.[/p]
• [p]Tower of Commerce offers rotating trade items that change with each season and expand with higher tech levels.[/p]
• [p]Research Lab added (non-functional for now).[/p]
• [p]Council System streamlined: the PC Main and their Alloy Twin now preside at the head of the Council, with three Advisors drawn from the population.[/p]
• [p]Council Skills are calculated like group skills for event checks.[/p]
• [p]Each Councillor’s Domain determines their bonus type.[/p]

[hr][/hr][h3]Map & Exploration[/h3]

• [p]Enemy list accessible at the bottom-left of the UI.[/p]
• [p]Remote Access to the Project unlocks after your first visit.[/p]
• [p]Scavengeable resources appear on cleared POIs.[/p]
• [p]Hide Markers button now works — perfect for those cinematic screenshots.[/p]

[hr][/hr][h3]Battle[/h3]

• [p]Run Away / Pause Menu option implemented — live to fight another day.[/p]
• [p]Enemy cards are briefly displayed during combat; hovering over them extends viewing time.[/p]
• [p]The Main/Expert Hand and Side Hand are now visually distinct — the side hand (MAX 3 cards, drawn each turn) includes Minions.[/p]

[hr][/hr][h3]Skill Challenges[/h3]

• [p]Option to pay Supplies to increase success chance removed.[/p]
• [p]Option to pay Supplies for a re-roll added.[/p]

[hr][/hr][h3]Morale[/h3]

• [p]New events trigger when party members grow deeply unhappy — some may decide to leave.[/p]
• [p]Added info pop-ups when morale changes due to personality traits (Believer, Progressive, Idealist, Pragmatic).[/p]
• [p]Additional morale systems still WIP.[/p]

[hr][/hr][h3]Other Updates[/h3]

• [p]You can now dismiss party members while out in the Wastelands.[/p]
• [p]HUD warnings improved for clarity and readability.[/p]

[p][/p][p][/p][h3]Keep your scanners ready, survivors! A brand-new Project Thea trailer drops during Steam Next Fest on 13th October, where we’ll finally reveal the Early Access release date![/h3]

[p]Yes, the time has come, the Project Thea Demo version will be out, live on August 20th! [/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]What to expect from the demo?[/p][p]You’ll get 25 turns of awesome exploration across the post-apocalyptic Wastelands of Thea. Head out with your party to scout locations, gather vital resources, and hunt down roaming enemies — all in the struggle to help your fledgling settlement survive that terrifying first night.[/p][p]Don’t forget to gear up! Manage the party inventory, craft equipment, and cook food to keep your crew strong and ready for whatever lurks out there. Each map hides stories of survivors — some you might ally with, others you might just… remove.[/p][p]Most importantly, bring back those precious Energy Shards. They’re the key to powering up the Project, your home base, letting you build, improve, and secure the future of sentient-kind. Survival is just the start — what you do next is what really matters.[/p][p]This is just a taste of what’s to come in the full game. If you enjoy your time in the Wastelands, don’t forget to wishlist Project Thea and be ready when the full release arrives.[/p]

Project Thea is the latest game to come from our MuHa oven, and it’s entering the exciting stage of being demo-ready. This dark survival RPG blends card-based combat with strategy and city-building, set in a post-apocalyptic world inspired by Slavic folklore.
