Repeated intro
Hello everyone!
Extracted changes
- Performance
- Gameplay
- Balance
Work on version 0.3 is well underway, and I’d like to share a closer look at what’s coming in the next major update. Over the past weeks I’ve been expanding systems, adding new mechanics, and improving performance to prepare the game for the next stage of its progression.
Time Acceleration x8
Let’s start with something many players have been asking for.
Recent optimizations have unlocked a new x8 time acceleration mode, which makes long-running actions and late-game progression feel much smoother. It’s a small feature on paper, but one that noticeably changes the flow of the game.
A New Mechanic: The Zoo
Version 0.3 introduces the Zoo — a new system where you can raise and expand populations of magical creatures. Each species provides a unique permanent bonus, and each requires its own resource to grow.
This mechanic is designed to create interesting long-term decisions: Do you focus on one species? Spread out? Optimize resources? The system is flexible enough to let you tailor it to your preferred playstyle without turning it into micromanagement.
Rituals: More Strategic Depth
Another new addition is Rituals.
These actions open up fresh strategic paths, letting you shape your build, specialize further, or strengthen areas that need a boost. They add a layer of mid-game and late-game variety that many players have been looking for.
New Resources, Upgrades, and Balancing
Alongside the headline features, v0.3 will include new resources, new upgrade paths, visual improvements, and several balance adjustments meant to smooth out progression beyond the current content.
What’s Next
Most core systems for the update are already in an advanced state. Once they’re wrapped up, the focus will shift to testing, balancing, and polishing all the new interactions. I’ll share more details — including a release window — as development gets closer to the finish line.
Thank you for playing, supporting, and sending feedback. Every update exists because of this community, and I can’t wait to show you more of what’s coming in v0.3.
