Build 1.0.42 live
Hi all,
Thanks to everyone for taking the time to file issues you have come across in Overcrowd in recent months.
This build fixes all known crashes and few remaining serious bugs I am aware of that have been filed for the game.
Regular readers will notice I have taken a bit of a step back from the frequent updates of the last 1-2 years during early access and post release. After over five years working solely on Overcrowd, I have needed a little time out from the project before returning to make these tweaks. This has meant a slightly longer wait for the fixes than the daily/weekly dev cycle of last year. I hope you can understand.
On the whole I'm super happy with the stability of the game, as there seem really very few issues and those I have encountered seem very rare edge cases. Those few that remain are not game breaking, so therefore I am happy with the state the game is in.
I'm putting today's fixes in the beta branch for a while before pushing that to the main branch for everyone. Right click on the game in your library select properties and then the beta tab to join.
I think the headline fix is that the End of Line achievement should now work for those that have earned that (you can open the tech tree of your relevant save to trigger that).
I will continue to fix issues you bring to me via the in game bug form. I'm also looking at the possibility of adding a few more tech items soon, so keep your eyes peeled for that!
[h3]Thanks for the reviews![/h3]
You might not know how important a good review score is for games on Steam, but it makes a massive difference to the long term prospects of a tiny, unfunded indie dev like me.
Lately we have been struggling to receive positive feedback, so if you like the game, or want to help me make more games, leaving a review is the best way to assist! If you were waiting for the right time, it's now, so please do leave a review now if you like the game :)
Build 1.0.42:
-End Of Line achievement correctly detected. The issue was that the calculation was not taking into account the free prestige items from the Christmas update, so didn't consider the tech tree complete. Load your save and open tech tree to gain the achievement.
-Fixed potential crash when ending a revisited station while some staff off shift.
-Fixed crash while checking power report while paused with no power generators built.
-Tweaked power outputs to match descriptions and make level 2 have a slightly more beneficial profile than two level 1 generators.
-Certain rat squeaks will no longer erroneously occur when sound fx muted.
-Commuters will only spill coffee/water on concourse so it can be mopped effectively.
