- Fixed a bug with the nuke launch button not being revealed after loading
Note: Some performance improvements were released in the previous version 0.06 but we forgot to mention it in the changelog for that version. Thanks to Hoopa for noticing and reminding us!GAMEPLAYUnits now have a stronger bias toward targeting enemies in front of them. This results in more natural-looking battles.Lowered the bonus sticky range that units receive while attacking to prevent disengagement from 40 to 20.FIXESFixed an issue causing some players to only hear audio in the left channel in surround setups. This could also happen with headphones if they were using any kind of 3D audio tech that works by creating virtual channels. Thanks to acoypot, "profesional dumdum", and the anonymous feedback form posters who reported this issue.Fixed an uncommon issue with the Warpath defeat condition that could result in the Warpath stopping without the game acknowledging the defeat.Fixed an issue where the gold amount could incorrectly display decimals, such as with the Chieftain bonus that increases gold gains.Fixed enemy health becoming infinite at level 3480 due to some attributes not using enough precision. Apologies to ASF_SnugglyPuffs for stopping his generational run.If infinite values are actually reached in the future, they will now correctly display as "inf" instead of "infe15".Fixed an issue causing the secondary tooltips of upgrades to overlap the tooltip upgrades sometimes (this was released earlier as v0.06.01).
Hey folks,The demo will release on June 15th at 12AM PDT. The warrior hero will be available to play (up to level 20). There will be over a hundred gear items, 12 minions to collect, 9 map nodes to adventure and a main city to settle in! Can't wait to see you guys there and looking forward to your feedbacks.Cheers,First Day Devs
Loopbound — v0.5.8 Automation Priority system reworked: numeric priority now overrides category order. You can make any fabrication or exploration action run before gathering actions by setting a higher priority. Default effective priorities: gathering actions start at 20, fabrication at 10, exploration at 0. You can override any action above or below these defaults. Existing saves are automatically migrated on first load. No manual action needed. Priorities may show higher numbers than before — this is intentional to preserve previous behavior. You can adjust them freely. Priority input now accepts direct number entry (max 50). Arrow buttons change ±1; hold Ctrl and click for ±10. Automation mode button: left-click cycles through available modes; right-click opens the selection menu. New buttons to set/unset all automations in a world/category. UI Reset cycle has been rebuilt: now it resets to exactly the same situation you were when starting the cycle. New button: Reset World — resets to exactly the same situation you were when starting the current world. Export/import to/from file. Permanent XP is now gained in a 1/1 ratio with cycle XP, but the experience needed to next permanent level is multiplied by 10 also. This is a cosmetic change; it does not affect gameplay or balance. Actions added with the emergency for food mechanism are marked with a warning icon. Release notes tab in settings. Fixed several tutorial issues. Core (Internal) Action time rounded to 0.1s. (Internal) Progress bar would show 100% after pausing the game at the moment (0.1s) an action completed. (Internal) If top-up inventory for food ends exactly at the same time the resource is eaten, it should keep gathering. Severely reduced export size. Gray Zone (Maze) The Give Up button now performs a Reset World instead of ending the cycle. Forest Vines and Sturdy Logs are available until the bridge is crossed. Yellow Cannot leave the oasis without helping to tan hides. Water rations do not appear i...
v1.1.3 Update Notes Increased the mentor's movement speed. Fixed an issue where Talk and Group Meeting could remain unavailable for interaction. Fixed an issue where the paper progress bar would not refresh after minimizing the window. When the mentor goes to repair equipment, multiple broken devices can now be repaired at once. When the mentor goes to catch slacking students, multiple students can now be caught at once. Thank you for your support and feedback. We will continue improving the game experience.
Hello everyone!Update 1.0.14 is now available for Focus Grove. 🌿This update focuses mostly on quality-of-life improvements, small UI fixes, localization corrections, and performance work. Some of these changes are tiny, but they should make everyday grove life a little smoother and less clicky.ImprovementsYou can now enter the number of needed building materials and buy them all at once, instead of clicking the buy button over and over again.Only vegetables dropped near full storage can now rot. This means you should no longer find rotten tomatoes lying in the field just because work time ended right after the harvest.You can now adjust the zoom separately for each widget in the settings menu:Mini-PomodoroTo-do listNotepadDate widgetIt is still not perfect, but it should give you better control over your workspace.Habits can now be ticked from the past week.UI ChangesFour-digit numbers now fit properly in the sell field and should no longer split into two lines.The New Game button is now smaller.As a small reminder: pressing New Game still asks for confirmation before anything happens.Localization“Fireplace” is now correctly called “Campfire”.Fixed two places where Chinese translations were placed incorrectly.PerformancePomodoro statistics are now logged every second instead of every frame.The game now avoids checking field extensions when there are none.Additional performance improvements were made across:Pomodoro systemsAchievementsPathfindingGeneral gameplayThank you for playing, reporting issues, and helping us make Focus Grove a calmer and cozier place to spend your focus time. 💚
Hi everyone!I'm happy to announce that Desktop Defender's biggest update yet has JUST RELEASED! The Forge Update has a crazy amount of stuff, and this post will go over all of it!Also, we JUST released a brand new bullet heaven called Wanted Shadows: Unchained, and you can get it discounted if you already own Desktop Defender! Despite having tons of hours of gameplay, it only costs $2.80 with the bundle!Anyways, let's get right to it!ForgingAfter Rebirthing for the first time, you now unlock Forging. Clicking on this menu will allow you to combine two pieces of loot on the floor to make an even stronger piece of loot if they're part of a crafting recipe.Crafted loot has a new unique Ω tier, and they're all stronger than the current maximum ∞ tier! They also use a mix of lower and higher tier loot to be crafted, so all sorts of loot is useful now even if you're far into the game!This system (and tons of this update) is actually based on the crafting system in our other idle corner game, Card Corner! So if you like what you see, make sure to check that game out. You can even get a discount if you already own Desktop Defender!New LootSpeaking of loot, we've added 56 new ones! That means that we've gone from 108 -> 164 loot types... That's a crazy 52% increase! Some of these are in E - A tiers, but there are 4 new ones in S tier, 8 in ∞, and 29 in the new Ω tier!Because lower tier loot can also be now used to craft Ω loot, we've rebalanced the loot rarity drop table to make it possible for any rarity to show up at any level, while still not feeling frustrated that most loot is unusable!On top of that, we've taken even more inspiration from ourselves in Card Corner, and added Limited and Unique loot. Some of the new loot have this label, and they limit how much you can equip, but are really powerful for their rarity. CompendiumWe've wanted to add a way to visualise all loot in the game for a while, and this update was the perfect opportunity to add it! The compendium is ...
Hello,today finally the new Adventure Mode update comes live. Thanks everyone with their help in beta-testing the version 1.1.What is included in this UpdateYou can start a new game in Adventure mode, or convert your finished existing 'Campaign' game (as long as you finished the Final Scenario)Same core in-game mechanics (combat, research and economy) as Campaign mode but different meta-game progression and high-level concept.You do not ascend by reaching the end of the tech tree. Instead each game is played as a mini-scenario with its specific objectives (primary and secondary).Scenarios are grouped into continuous series (called Chaos Worlds) - you keep the map tile upgrades, workshops and technologies between scenarios of a World.You can control map resources and land shape via new powersCompleting a series of scenarios succesfully give you an extra progression reward and allows you to go back to you Home world.Home world is your 'base' which you never restart or lose. It works as a sandbox but also affects your gameplay in other worlds.There are new unique wonders and enemies exclusive to the Adventure mode HomeworldNew Lotus farming mechanismNew Lotus type - Jade lotus.The current version of Adventure mode is about 20-30 hours of gameplay (to master the last available difficulty). Have fun,Ondrej
Hello to all Widgeteers!As promised, here's the next update in the Widget Inc. universe. While the previous updates mostly focused on late game progression, this one is more tailored to new players. So if you've been waiting to jump in, or start a new save file, now's the time!Full update notes are at the bottom of this post, but here's what you need to know:Vaults UncoveredAll across the world, the sands have been shifting in response to increased seismic activity. As a result, vaults of ancient technology have been emerging from deep within the earth. Hack the puzzle lock that keeps the vault sealed, and claim its contents for yourself!Glitch SparksThe destabilizing energy of the Glitched Frame has continued to wreak havoc on the planet - to your benefit, perhaps? Glitch Sparks now spawn intermittently across the world. Interact with them to reset your entropy and fill up your Glitched Widget storage, or discover the location of the Glitched Frame if you haven't done so already.Prestige Tree AdditionsOf course, I haven't forgotten about the long-term players, either. A whole bunch of new Prestige nodes have been added to spice up your future runs. Aside from the new nodes that improve the Vaults, a new "Void" terrain type has been added to give access to a true sandbox world. There is also the new Interplanetary Cosmodrome prestige node, that will allow your old save games to contribute to your current one.Once again, I had a lot of fun coming up with new ideas to spice up the existing gameplay. Hopefully, it'll be enough to keep you satisfied until the launch of my next game, Kingdom Inc! Check it out, in case you haven't played the free demo yet!Full update notes and changelogAdded:Vaults now appear intermittently on the world map. Keep an eye open! Each Vault is guarded by a puzzle lock that must be hacked in order to gain access to the resources locked inside.A whole bunch of new prestige nodes to improve the usefulness of Vaults even further.New "Exterminatio...

Replaced them with the positive effects of smooth bowel movements and eating different kinds of food. Reduced the cost of bestowing names on students. Reduced the paper publication difficulty for some projects. Thank you for your support and feedback. We will continue improving the game experience.

There's an expansive upgrade system that redefines how you engage with the demo as you progress through it, and a mysterious story to keep you engaged. Try it out now! The demo is live!NightwaterThis game is a mixture of genres i love. it's got a bit of Forager, a bit of Factorio, and a bit of Hypixel Skyblock. While your factory works, you hea...
