Team Thoughts

This update features tons of small changes and fixes as Verde decided to take every small task on the list instead of doing the big ones first.

We also ran some tests for a possible mobile port, while we were able to make the game run smoothly on a simulated android, there are some changes that have to be made before it is possible to play the game normally on a touch-screen device.

We also noticed that we didn't release the patch notes on steam last week, so this post will contain both of them

Update 1.16

Changes

Second Bloom Rework

Second Bloom now uses probability instead of being only dependent on your actions
When winter ends, the chance is at 100%, and halves for every determined mutation purchased using flowers
"Everbloom" mutation reworked to make the game roll for this twice instead of once
Now there's a widget that explains the mechanic and shows the current probability




Reworked Cold Mists

Now uses a different algorithm in order to place the mists, this new algorithm should place and remove mist tiles linearly over the duration of the crisis
That means that 2 days of cold mists now have very close to double the number of mist tiles of a single day
Mist tiles now dissipate during the spring and summer instead of only summer, but it still dissipates faster during the summer
The new algorithm recycles mist tiles between turns so that it doesn't flood the turn log
