changedNew ItemsCompact Storage : Store more items compared to the regular storage unit while only taking up one tile. - Automatic Tree Farm : Produces an endless supply of wooden plants but requires one worker, electricity and water. - Large Solar Panel : Produce more power with solar energy. Takes up two tiles. - Tall Turbine : Just like the small turbines, it produces power with wind except it is not affected by wind walls! Plus, it produces a little more power than the small turbines.

Hello Ice Age Survivors!

We hope you had a great summer and enjoyed our newest update Frozen Water. In this devlog we will be sharing with you the new features and content that we've been working on over the last month for the next update.

Autosaves

The first feature that we have added is autosaves! You can choose to have the game saved after every day, two days, week or you can turn the feature off in the settings.

New Items

We have added several new items to the game! Here is the list:

- Compact Storage: Store more items compared to the regular storage unit while only taking up one tile. - Automatic Tree Farm: Produces an endless supply of wooden plants but requires one worker, electricity and water. - Large Solar Panel: Produce more power with solar energy. Takes up two tiles. - Tall Turbine: Just like the small turbines, it produces power with wind except it is not affected by wind walls! Plus, it produces a little more power than the small turbines.

Sprite Redesign

On another note, we have also redesigned the sprites of a couple of our already existing items. All plants have been redesigned along with the small solar panel.

Workers Overhaul

There will be many changes to the workers in the next update. This include workers skills (how fast they can complete a task, like research or farming). A shift management system will be added where workers will need time to sleep. As of right now we are working on adding workers portraits.

Workers portraits will make it easier to differentiate who is who. Here are a couple of examples:

Game Intro

Lastly, we are working on an intro sequence to give the player an idea of the backstory. It is still very early in the works but here are a couple previews of possible scenes for the intro:
