Game Updates

- Fixed some texts

Hey everyone, just a development blog on Beggar's Life.I'm currently working improving the UI. Most of the improvements are focused on the desktop UI, but the mobile UI should be considerably easier to play too. Not just the UI but the experience in general. Some of this new experience also needs some new content to really shine.While I have done some testing, more testing is necessary before release. I think I will create a Patron only beta to test out the UI problems so I can iron out some bugs before release. This version will come with new content that hopefully pleases newcomers and veterans alike.If you want to the see the UI I have some screenshots on Discord, here is one of them:The discord channel since the one in the game is broken (will fix in the next update): https://discord.gg/yb8w8vjZqZNo idea when I'll be done with the next update though, but putting in the effort to make it great!

The Road Ahead Stellar Odyssey has launched with its core intact. Three further systems are finished and running, and they will open in stages rather than all at once, so that no commander arrives to find every system in the game asking for attention at the same time. Here is what is waiting, in the order we intend to open it. Base Building About a month away. A permanent foothold of your own. You establish it with materials drawn from the Laboratory, and from that foundation you install up to eleven modules. Some produce passively, working while you are somewhere else entirely. Others answer on demand. Between them they reach into every part of the game, and every module you add gives the base more to do. What a base offers is not a single reward but a direction: new capabilities, new materials, a set of quality of life improvements, and a line of progression that keeps opening for as long as you are willing to invest in it. Colonization Roughly a month after Base Building. Settle the galaxy, and then govern it. Systems differ in the economies they support, so where you travel decides what you are able to produce. Claiming a system is only where it begins. From there you balance materials, keep work queues in motion, and direct resources toward whatever your empire needs next. An empire run well does not stay confined to its colonies. What they produce returns to you as bonuses. Dungeons Early 2027. Instanced runs, undertaken alone or with your squadron on a weekly cycle. You enter, you meet the objectives set in front of you, and you come out with rewards. Those rewards are not an end in themselves. They go back into the progression of your account, which is what lets you go further the next time. On timing Base Building is roughly a month out. Colonization should follow it by about a month. Dungeons is the long one, and we are looking at early 2027. Those are estimates rather than release dates, and we are giving them because "sometime" is not an answer. If any o...

List of changes: 🌍 Colonization (new mechanic) New mechanic: settle unclaimed land — deserts, tundra, jungle, arctic islands and other unowned territory on the map Tap free land → a price card pops up → press it → paint the exact area you want with a brush right on the map (just like a peace conference) → send the expedition Colonies grow organically along the coastline instead of a perfect compass-drawn circle — shape depends on the terrain Price rises with distance, but distance is no longer a hard wall — far-off land just costs more, it's never simply forbidden Overseas colonization now requires being an actual colonial power (economic and military weight plus a coastline), not just having the biggest landmass on the map — countries like Mexico or Persia used to qualify while France and the Netherlands didn't The AI competes for the same land too, with staggered start times so one bot can't snowball into taking half the unclaimed world Only available in scenarios from the right era (Victorian Era and similar) — 1936, WWII and the modern world simply have no free land ⚔️ War and combat Fixed: wars between two developed countries would literally grind to a halt at 1-4% captured territory even at max game speed — such wars now actually get fought to a conclusion Fixed: attacking through mountains, forests, marshes and hills was in places mathematically impossible — troops would "just stand there" on exactly that terrain. Hard terrain is now slow instead of impassable Fixed (observer/sandbox mode): divisions never marched at all, drawn attack-plan arrows were ignored, and switching the viewed country wiped out the army you'd built — all three bugs at once Putting down a rebellion now has its own declaration screen instead of looking like an ordinary war with a neighbor: rebel flag, a "CRUSH THE REBELLION!" button, and a clear line showing which government the rebels want to install The war declaration screen has been reworked: your side is always shown on the left, b...

Hi, it's FVS, the solo dev of Ballatory here!Thank you for all the support by wishlisting the game and giving feedback.After 10 months of working on this project, I now proudly announce the launch of the game 🎉🔴🤘🥳All the skills, all the systems, all the balls, all the bosses...are finally there, ready for you to conquer 📈Let's ball!

Guild upgrades used to be six rows at the bottom of the Shop. They have their own window now, with a drawing of the house at the top that fills in as you buy. Open Collections (menu) first. It is one click and it is the fastest way to see what this update did to your save. The Guildhouse8 upgrades over 41 stages, where 5 stood over 20. Three are new: the Barracks boards a second hireling, the Wain adds two pack slots a stage, and the Cellar keeps Shop boons alive 25% longer a stage, so a five minute boon runs thirteen at the sixth. The second hireling is the biggest thing in the release. A mule adds four pack slots, a torchbearer makes travel 20% faster, an apprentice regenerates your MP 15% faster, and until now you picked one and watched the other two go by. If you already bought upgradesEvery stage is worth less than the stage it replaced, because the ceilings did not move and the ladders got longer: the Bell pays 0.8% speed over five stages where it paid 1% over four. So your stage counts are moved up when the save loads, to the stage of the new ladder that pays what your old one paid, and the game says so in a line. A Bell at 4 of 4 comes back at 5 of 5 and still gives 4% speed. The Stable lands two points short, because six stages of 5% is where its ladder ends. Everything else you paid for, you keep. The Board of FeatsEleven feats, and three doors on each: a deed licenses it, prestige unlocks it for every run after (3, 4, 6, 8, 11, 14, 18, 23, 28, 34, 41), and gold hires it onto the run you are playing (40,000, then 350,000, then 4,000,000). You wear one at a time to start with and eight with all seven levels of the Warden's Papers. Every one of them is a standing choice or a standing fact: you set the board, and then you play. The first kill on a floor is always a crit. A 19 counts as a 20 on checks. Unmet beasts are hunted first, and the weather favours skies carrying beasts you have not killed. Refused gear hangs on the trophy case wall. Two are set once a...

Thank you so much for your continued support of TASMON: Taskbar Monsters.We had planned to release the game on August 10th. Unfortunately, the Steam review process has not yet been completed, and we must delay our launch beyond the originally announced date.We also want to apologize for how late this notice is coming out — reaching you only on release day itself.We're sorry for the disappointment and worry this causes to everyone who's been looking forward to playing.Since the timing of the review is outside of our control, we're unable to commit to a new release date at this time. As soon as we receive approval, we'll announce the new date right away.We're doing everything we can on our end to move things along as quickly as possible, and we'll share updates here and on our X account as soon as we know more.Note: many of you have asked about the ability to trade items and monsters on the Steam Community Market. We want to let you know that this feature is not planned for launch. We've shared your feedback with the dev team, and we'll post an update here if there's any progress to share on this front.ProjectZeta

Hello! A new V1.9.0 update is now live. It adds the Wooden Fish as a new long-term use for your funds and addresses more player-reported window, interface, save, and Steam-sync issues. Wooden Fish Wishes Purchase the Wooden Fish from the store's Decor category, place it, and click it in the farm to make a wish. Hover over it to see the “Click to pray” prompt. Each wish costs 100 funds, with batch options for 1, 10, 100, or 1,000 wishes. At least 100 funds are always reserved, so wishing cannot leave you unable to buy your next chicken. Reaching 10, 100, 1,000, and 10,000 total wishes unlocks distinct commemorative seals. The final seal has its own crowned silhouette. These seals are visual keepsakes and do not change research odds or inspiration-egg output. Farm and Characters Updated the Lucky Goddess artwork and kept her facing forward while idle. Her automatic collection of nearby inspiration eggs remains unchanged. Clicking the Lucky Goddess explains her role, and automatic collection now shows the funds gained from that egg. Refreshed the Cozy Cottage artwork and added clearer decoration descriptions, purchase feedback, and a preview of its fixed position. The Research Catalog now points out the publisher closest to completion and the research tiers still missing from the selected set. Interface and Desktop Experience Improved selection and restoration when multiple monitors share the same name, plus safe-area and right-toolbar layout on compact and ultrawide displays. Fixed notices that could ignore interface scaling, appear above a confirmation dialog, or sit too close to screen edges. Improved tooltips and keyboard/controller focus, including focus loss after a decoration purchase and stale Wooden Fish button states. Added copyable version and build diagnostics in Settings to make issue reports easier to investigate. Save and Steam Achievement Reliability Prevented very large fund totals, lifetime counters, and selected statistics from wrapping around or dis...
