0.4.21 - Mac version & general update


Hello there!

It's been a while, but here's what we've been working on. Enjoy the refreshed game. Those who asked for the Mac version will be happy since we've prepared the Mac build. LowPolis on Mac is going to receive updates like other available platforms.

Now we are focused on two things for the future update - game save system, which is guaranteed to appear in demo and tier III town design.

Building mode changes:

  • River redesign
  • Optional water reflections (game startup quality setting)
  • Streamlined outlines
  • Further optimizations to game models & general performance improvements
  • Wool on sheep now has loss/grown states
  • Decreased food & water consumption
  • Building cost balance
  • Slight UI improvements
  • New food icon
  • New icon for lacking warehouse access
  • Auto-clearing notices
  • Additional info regarding upgrade within house menu
  • Decreased chance for fire
  • Blocked tier I road building on tier II roads
  • Fixed tree fall animation
  • Fixed camera movement while using building zoom

Battle mode changes:

  • Added auto-attack to player units
  • Army deployment before battle
  • Added notice at the beginning of the battle
  • Optimized shadows for entities
  • Fixed bug regarding archers getting blocked during the battle

Cheers!

I found some things that need atention:
1) i have random flickering in game (GTX 650 Ti, but i can run 95% strategy game without problem)
2) rotation (with middle mouse button) is too fast and there is no way to set it to original position (like small "North" arrow somwhere on the screen)
3) when i want to build some building it shows me "you need to place it on road" (or something similar) but it overlap description, try to move it a little bit

Hello Klogner!

Thanks for reporting the problems to us. Could you tell us when you noticed the flickering? How big was your city? 2 & 3 are great suggestions and we are going to add these to our to-do list.

Looks great! Love the little additions like sheep wool as much as the bigger ones.
