The Hot Update is Here!

Pupultas!

The time has come — the Hot Update is here! You can check out what it brings in the video:

Or, if you prefer to read, here is what changed.

Marvellous monuments

A new set of buildings was added to the game. Decorate your city with statues of your favourite DiNaO characters!

Map Editor now also features more decorative objects that are not available in missions — make your maps even more unique!

Improved process of learning game mechanics

Not just an improved tutorial! The rework involved multiple aspects of the game, and one of the changes is optional quests that were added to some campaign missions. The quests will help players grasp the general feeling of DiNaO’s gameplay loop, ensuring an easier journey across the battlefields. Bonus crystals are granted for completing them and serve as an additional incentive. Note: it’s possible the quests might be incompletable in saves made before the update!

Another new mechanic is an advice system. After making certain actions for the first time, players will receive a tip explaining some aspects of the game. Of course, if you feel like you’ve already mastered the game, you can turn them off in Options.

And naturally, the tutorial was also expanded and polished — together with the siege guide mission in the campaign (An Offer One Can’t Refuse in the King’s campaign branch; Ambush in the Rebels’ branch). Now there are more learning steps!

Polish localisation

Speaking about polish, the list of languages DiNaO can be played in was expanded with Polish localisation!

The full list of changes, as usual, is under the cut. We’ll be waiting for your feedback, and stay tuned — we have more news incoming!

Yours, the Door 407 dev team
