| Update | Date | Excerpt / source |
|---|---|---|
| Directx and plugin changes. Progress update! | 2023-06-07 | Patch Notes: The game has been changed to use DirectX 12 and also uses a new plugin would should help with the background earth not loading sometimes. Currently that is an unreal engine 5 bug so I will do the best I can to work around it. Progress update: The game is still being actively developed. All of the features/tuning is not done yet. I appreciate the feedback that I have received so far! The reviews are currently at mostly negative but the negative reviews (and positive) for the most part have pointed out problems/bugs or things to improve on. As much as I would like to see a positive review or people change from negative to positive |
| UI Patch for offline progression and confirmation windows. | 2023-06-01 | Patch Notes: Button added for mass purchase. The Hotkey (E) still works but this was added for clarity as players were having trouble activating mass purchase. UI window added for offline progression. This will show you how much XP you earned offline! Confirmation window added for prestiging. Bug Fixes: Mass purchase was starting "off" and required two clicks/buttons to activate. Thank you all for the feedback! |
| Fixing Sound Bug and Legacy Saves | 2023-05-31 | Patch Notes: Saves that were used on launch and went through multiple patches without being launched till now could experience the game freezing on startup. This has been fixed through a "hard patch". A dominator token will be awarded for this reset. In the future the goal is to keep these "hard patch" updates to a minimum as although it results in positive progress, it can be jarring and break the flow of gameplay. Due to the severity of the bug this warranted one. Thank you for your understanding! Music volume was not saving on prestige resulting in muted music on the next run. |
| Graphics Settings Patch | 2023-05-29 | Patch Notes: Graphics settings have been added to the options menu. These allow you to change the FPS and resolution of the game. This list isn't extensive as more options for FPS and resolution will be added in the future. Gameplay: This was actually introduced last patch but now the continents can generate all three unit types for attacking requirements. This should help balance out the load of having to build a ton of land units to eventually attack and prestige. Overall this should speed up progression as the values for units won't be getting as high. Thank you for the continued feedback on the game! It has already had a lot of features+Q |
| UI Patch + Soundtrack + QOL Updates | 2023-05-28 | Patch Notes: UI interface updated for right clicking on units/magic. Descriptions are still not complete along with their counterparts to art. Small changes were made to a few UI components in terms of style/color/positioning. ESC hotkey added which can exit out of ui menus. Added offline cap text to show how much xp you will receive after not playing for a full day. The system for this has been active but not apparent to the player. Help menu added. Will be expanded. More sound effects/sound added to interactions. Magic retuned. Not finalized on this yet. Fixed dominator token bug of not transferring on new patches. Soundtrack added along wi |
| Major Patch | 2023-05-28 | Major patch changing progression, adding QOL, and testing the save conversion system. Patch Notes: Rebalanced all income/costs for Troops and Magic. Should provide a much better avenue for progression. Added indicators for not being able to attack or prestige. Added text explaining what the different prestige options do. Added XP Per Second Counter. Fixed truncating issue with displaying numbers. Removed two achievements that were not obtainable. Fixed prestige progression so you can go beyond 3 prestiges.

| Hotfix 1 | 2023-05-26 | FIXED: Reduced login bonus for offline progression. Currently the game does not save your attack progress. If you exit out of the game, the continents you have conquered will not persist. |
