Patch One and an Imp-ortant Message from the Dev Team

Hello Administrators,

Sintopia has been out for less than a week and we've seen a massive amount of players thoroughly enjoy themselves in the game's world and the inner workings of the hellish administration, and for that, we sincerely thank you, It fills our deviant hearts with pride to finally share the game with you all!

However, we are aware that the game has some quirks/issues that lead to difficulty rising faster than the player's learning curve. Consequently, some of you might have felt frustrated and "beaten down" or even worse, bad at the game, when in fact the game just needed to be a bit more chill.

This hotfix covers crashes and bugs, but also some streamlining of the difficulty curve. This is mostly aimed at giving some breathing room to beginners. We’ve also alleviated the risk of you falling prey to an upkeep/doom spiral. Finally, we’ve adjusted the behaviour of Soul Dispatchers so they are less prone to blocking your Waiting Lines.

These are just to help beginners and make sure the game doesn’t feel unfair. If you’re a Hard/Masochist player - rest assured the challenge will remain!

We have more updates in store to make the game the best it can be. This hotfix was for the most pressing/obvious matters. We’re only getting started: chop chop.

Find the patch notes below! I’ll see you all in Hell.

Eric Le Ru, Game Director

Sandbox Mode

• Fixed a bug where the settings would not be properly restored when saving and loading a game, leading to incorrect gameplay conditions (such as the “Hearosable” Sin-O-Meter threshold equal to 0).

Souls Dispatcher

• Changed the behaviour of the Souls Dispatcher as follows: If a Soul is waiting in the Dispatcher because it’s target building is occupied, and other Souls need to enter the Dispatcher, the Soul will be sent forward to their exit lane, and the spot will be freed. This reduces the number of situations where Souls would clog in front of the Dispatcher.
