Hi everyone!

After the unfortunate event of last week we are now back on track.
Today we are going to present you the first part from our recently posted short-term roadmap.

Workers have arrived on your island!

Complete the first military tier to unlock a bunch of helpful cubes who will help you managing your Town.
You must buy them with gems before you can put them to work and you will get one slot for a worker per military tier that you have reached.

Each worker can do exactly one specific task of your choice at a selected speed. The interval can be manually adjusted after unlocking higher speeds with gems.
In this first version there are only a selected amount of tasks available to test the underlying system, but we are going to gradually add more of them in the following updates.

Want to see a certain task be implemented next? Let us know in the comments!

Other changes

Some of you have mentioned that the underground region and the Cubos Jr. boss fight can be laggy because of the light sources. We have added a new setting so you can reduce those light sources and reach a higher performance.

The UI now scales better in aspect ratios that are not 16:9 per default without the “Experimental UI scaling” options. If you are currently using that option give it a try without!
You can find the full list of changes in the changelog below.
