- Grab the powerup! minigame update - 13 April 2021
New minigame: Grab the powerup! An arena style game where platforms fall over time and grabbing the soda powerup will give the player a big boost to push the rest of the players off. Online sync seems good and the only thing it seems to need is more aggresive AI which will be tweaked during this next week along with some general fixes. Also: - Fixed an issue in which you could not select a minigame in offline practice and custom online because new text in front of the preview images would prevent it.

New features: - Multiple ways and paths to select from. - Day progression system: night will arrive during the last turns of the game and money (or penalties) will be increased.

- Build 0.44 Release - 15 September 2020

- Early Access 0.40 Board Update - 10 August 2020
Lunar Station has fully arrived! An arcade board which takes place on a moon facility consisting of several biomes habitats. The objective of the game is moving around the board while acquiring batteries from the vendors. There are four types of tiles: Blue (get money), Red (subtract money), green (event: change the position of barriers) and yellow (shops and other minor events). Two shops are available with six different items, check notes for 0.39 and 0.40 for a description. Minor issues may appear here and there, feel free to report them! Version 0.38 Changelog - Creation of base board for Lunar Station. (So much work in so few words) - Implementation of the needed changes in main menu to allow board selection, both in offline and offline modes. - Implementation of the needed changes in board scripts to allow a more arcade gameplay compared to Hexagon Island (P.e. dices not allowing…
- New Board Public Release - 2 August 2020
New board is now available for public testing: Lunar Station. This one is more arcade in terms of gameplay compared to Hexagon Island: tile-based events and items to be acquired. The main objective in this case is to gather the most batteries from the vendor machines before the end of the game. Remaining changes to implement this week are: - A second vendor machine located on top of the board with the following items: - A barrier control item: an item that will allow to cycle the barriers, with the same result of landing a green tile. - A golden magnet: allows to steal one battery from the chosen player (expensive though!) - A keycard that allows access to a secondary area. - Effects for items use. - Secondary area to be accessed with the keycard. - Bots configuration for items use. - Maybe a map for general use. New version also includes some fixes: - Implemented online collisions for…

(Bots will have a better behaviour during this week and online collisions have to be implemented) - Players are now able to trade commerces with bots too in Hexagon Island (was not implemented due to a mistake). - Increased physics steps number for the racing minigame, this should fix the stutters when steering at the cost of a bit more of processing power. It will be balanced further if the processing power increase is too much. - Fixed the welcoming message which was mistakenly set to a non-readable black color. (Thanks to Tino Huber) - During pause time (offline mode since the game doesn't pause in online) physics have been modified to not halt with the main time parameter. Glitches like players, bots and other objects suddenly being launched towards sky will probably disappear (requires testing). - Fixed a critical bug in which an online player woul…

Also reduced the chance of bots to get stuck when pushed out of the top and try to climb again. Nº 18: Crazy Blocks: bots detect much better which blocks are sinking and will move accordingly. Increased their aggression a bit depending on their selected skill. Nº 19: Samurai Climb: made some improvements to AI behaviours, hopefully they will climb faster now.
