Hello Elders! A new experimental versions with some bugfixes and a lot more work on the controller support (phew, that requires *a lot* of work!) The game now is completely playable with a controller, so I am going to fix some smaller issues and do some small balance tweaks on the new mechanics and I can push everything that is in experimental to the main branch this week!

Have fun!

Hello Elders! I just pushed a new update on experimental that, among fixes, also adds a new scoring system. The new system assigns zero points to Buildings and Pips, and instead focuses more on prevented events and saved turns.

A word of caution: the highscore table will be reset when we get out of experimental

Have fun!

Hello Elders!

Hope everything is going great for you all! I pushed new bugfixes on the main branch.

Work on balance patch 1.0.1 continues (thank you for your continuous feedback, the new flow seems to be well liked!), and as I iron out the details the balance patch will be moved to the main branch for everybody to enjoy. Keep sending me your thoughts about it!

Thanks to your feedback, controllers are working fine now on the experimental branch and I plan to add the controller support to the main branch alongside the balance changes!

Have fun!
