UPDATE 2.1.3.0

Hey, guys!

We're continuing to set the mood system for the colonists. If you don't already know, the main discussion is on Discord Channel.

We have made some changes to the system and the work of the colonists' records. Fixed some errors.
I'd be interested to hear your opinion on that.


We've also added the ability to invite Ollie to visit.
Now you can invit...

MOOD CONTROL SYSTEM

Hey, guys!

We got the mood control system up and running.
Now you can see the recommendations for managing the colony.

The mood control system can be accessed near the navigator and through the top panel (clicking on mood indicators, loyalty and crime).
The system helps to reduce crime rates and increase loyalty.

Hopefully this will help to create balance in the colony.

Have a good day.

UPDATE 2.1.1

 Hey, guys!

We checked and prepared the update for download. All changes work on their own and I hope no critical errors should occur.

For those of you who are new to us, I want to remind you that this is part of the update and we had to spend some time to make the elements work regardless of the main part.

Several new elements have appeared in the colony - mood, loyalty and crime.
At the moment, global statistics are not available, so there is no gl...

SYSTEM UPDATE PREPARATION

Hey, guys!

Please apologize for the delay in the news.

The programmers have almost everything prepared, there was a problem with file optimization. Because of the features of 2D graphics, each character weighs a lot, and when such characters on the screen - the system is very heavily loaded.
They were able to solve this problem, but the number of objects had to be reduced...

The update will be ready for download in a few days, after we check all known er...

ANSWERS TO YOUR IDEAS

Hi guys!
Thank you for your attention to my question.

I waited a while for all those who wanted to speak out. And discussed your ideas with programmers.

- The situation with training for characters with a high level is clear to us.
We are likely to add a few more degrees of pumping the colonist and think about how to implement it.

- Colonial training in one place.
This has already been planned and will be implemente...

YOUR OPINION ABOUT CHANGES

Hi guys!

I hope you feel good. The world is gradually returning to ordinary life, and it pleases.

I continue to wait until the programmers do all the planned work with the code and so as not to waste time, let's discuss your suggestions for changes.

You sometimes write your suggestions for various changes. Some ideas can be implemented, and some are not possible, because this can affect the mechanics of the game or part of the economy. There are a lot of int...

WORK IN FULL SWING

Hi guys!
A few words about how work is progressing on a future update.

Now we are testing the system of festivals and trying to minimize the load.
The fact is that the more characters that are simultaneously on your screen, the stronger the load.

Therefore, we try to realize our idea, but at the same time make the load as low as possible.
At the moment, two types...

GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH

Hi guys!

I hope you are well and safe. Our entire team left the big cities and limited their contacts with the outside world. I hope you also do not put yourself and your loved ones at risk.

I want to remind you that regular sex and masturbation increase the ability of your immunity to resist any viruses.

In addition, this is an extremely pleasant experience ;)

WORK ABOVE THE POLICE SYSTEM

Hi guys!

A few words about the work process.

We continue to work to optimize the colony and move to a new system. The most difficult stage lies ahead. We have to make the transition of your colonies as less painful as possible (some players have colonies with several thousand colonists).
We will create a safe time period so that you can understand the changes and get rid of the extra colonists.

In addition, I finished work on the police and the police sta...

ART BLOG - Sex scenes

Hi guys!

A few words about sex scenes and your opinion on this.
I would be interested to know what you think about managing in sex scenes. How necessary is this?

I'm talking about manual control.

In my opinion, it will look good several angles of posture or the intensity of the animation (quickly or slowly) without controlling the buttons or the mouse.

Also, sometimes they write me messages asking to add an X-ray during sex.
I can’t say that th...

ART BLOG - Help the old man.

Hi guys!

A short post about the stories I'm working on.

I plan several stories that will influence the plot of the game. One of these stories is about an old merchant in your colony.
After you build a spaceport, all sorts of tourists and emigrants will begin to appear in the colony.
One of these characters will be an old alien who has a small shop in your colony.

ART BLOG - Foreword

Hi guys!
As promised earlier, I begin to write small articles about my work.

In the development of games, there are many nuances and features. Moreover, nothing happens easily and simply, every time you come across new situations on which you need to think for a long time and look for ways to solve these problems.

Sometimes I encounter the fact that I have to wait until the programmer finishes this or that stage of work in order to continue his work. Because ba...

WORKING MOMENTS

Hi guys!

A small article about work at the moment.

First, I want to talk about why messages do not come out often.
I do not have very good English, and I'm afraid to be misunderstood (this has already happened several times before). Therefore, I try to write briefly and only on the facts.

Creating games is a rather boring process and sometimes I don’t even know how to briefly tell what is happening at one time or another. There are also many technical i...

RESTART

Hi guys!
An error occurred with some colonies during the launch of the new store.

In order not to harm players who have already started to trade in the market, we rolled back to the night version that was before the update.

Now your colonies are in the state that was yesterday during the shutdown of the server for technical work.

We apologize for such difficulties. But your colony is safe. Build a new market again.

UPDATE 2.1

Hi guys!

We have prepared the next update from the planned additions.

A new market is now ready for installation. Market functions remain the same. Resources and colonists can be bought and sold from former merchants. But now there is a new opportunity to trade between the colonies - the Interstellar Trading System (I.T.S). Old merchants come in handy for quick trading. I.T.S will be useful for trading unique goods (colonists with good data or unique colonists, go...

UPDATE 2.0

Hi guys!

I am pleased to announce that we have updated the system to version 2.0

It is impossible to describe the whole amount of work :) A lot of work has been done.
But we downloaded only a small part of the new system, because there are a lot of interconnected elements.

Version 2.0 can be considered the base system to which we will connect additional modules. In addition, now it will be faster and easier for us to connect all the necessary elements. View Post

TECHNICAL WORK

Access to the game will be limited from 12 AM Friday to Saturday. All day. We have to upload a lot of files and check their correct operation.

After we download the new version and check the whole system, I will inform you about the opening of the server.

This is the first part of a global update.

UNIQUE NAMES

Hi guys!

A small survey to know your opinion before we make some changes.

Due to clone issues, we want to make unique names for each player.
It will not be possible to use the same name for the player and the name of the colony. To do this, we will delete all existing player names and colony names, give them a random name. You have to pick the right name again.

WORKING PROCESS

Hi guys.

A few words about the workflow at the moment. 

We have collected all the locations but there is a problem with the load. If the computer is weak, the game will not start.

Thus, we continue the experiments to reduce the load.
Because, in addition to houses and trees, in the city there are people, robots, holograms, etc.

It was like this:  
An empty city without signs of life (for the sake of saving RAM). <...

NEW EVENT FOR FARMERS

Hi guys!

We launched a farmer training event in your colony. A good opportunity to profitably pump the skills of your farmers.

We also recently downloaded a small update for the game, which should prevent the launcher from disconnecting from the server.

We hope that the problem of disconnection from the server will not bother you.

Have a nice day. See you later.

SMALL BUSINESS ROURKE

Hi guys!

A small addition to the game. This is a small underground business of Rourke, and you have to take a little part in it.

To do this, you need to visit Rourke and select a special menu item.

If you provide invaluable assistance to Rourke, he will share his income with you.
But keep in mind that Rourke will not constantly give you a portion of the income.

In general, this addition is made not for earnings but for fun. We also added a ranking o...
