- Grand Update 2.0.0 - 13 September 2019
In this patch we made a few changes to game mechanics, bringing it closer to our final vision of the game. Balance We slightly reduced overall difficulty of the game. In the past we got a lot of feedback on how easy the game was, so we made it harder, but probably too much. We are now rolling back some of those changes, making the game more accessible to the beginners, while still keeping it challenging in the late game. Technologies We changed how project technologies work. Some of them didn't work together very well, so now you have 4 free switchable technologies, which impact the workflow of the project, and only one of which can be active at a time. 4 additional technologies can be unlocked with money, and they work as they did before. Technologies became easier to understand for beginners, but they still require a good level of game understanding to use them to their full potential…
