BalanCity

8/5 Quick Update

Hey everybody!

Just a quick update after some feedback I've received.


  • Added original intro music (BalanCity OST coming soon)
  • Added text to Special Building tool button to show next milestone population.
  • Reduced riot fire spawning. No more cities burned to death by a couple of protesters.

Hope to have a couple of missions ready by next weeks update.

Keep the feedback coming!

8/2 update!

Hey!

The game has been updated with a couple of tweaks to disaster spawn rates. I've seen many people having trouble with monsters or meteors suddenly destroying their precious work, so I reduced the number of disasters you will face in the first minutes of gameplay.

There is also a new settings screen in the intro menu. From there you will be able to switch between full screen and windowed mode (does not seem to work properly the first time you click, gotta check on that), mute sound and set the disaster spawn ratio for every type of disaster. Let me know how this work for you and if you think the settings need a little bit of tweaking.

In an upcoming update I will add missions and more tutorial that will cover the things that the regular tutorial does not. For example, mega blocks and skyscrapers.

Don't forget to keep posting feedback!

See you in the next update!

Tutorial broken, tutorial fixed!

The last update broke the tutorial! Hope nobody got mad about this and quickly fixed the issue. Have a nice day!

Friday update! 7/29

Hey!

A quick update (7/29) to a couple of major bugs and a bit of new content added.


    <*> Added London scenario, play in the fog!
    <*> Added Quit Button to Intro screen (no more task manager)
    <*> Removed rogue Facebook link that opened when returning from scenarios.
    <*> Changed Back to Menu icon to something that did not resemble "replay".

    <*> Extra hidden feature: Pressing "m" on the intro menu takes you to a secret level that consists on a mission to plant power plants in a premade city. This mission mechanic is being worked on so expect bugs and crazyness, but it is there for you to try, if you wish.



      Thanks to all the players who gave input in the current version of the game, keep that feedback coming!


      Edit: Forgot to tweak the monsters HP, now it takes 100 missiles to kill. It should take a little less. I leave this for the next update.

      7/28 - BalanCity development update

      Hey there!

      It's been a good first day for early access as I got reports of many bugs plaguing the game.

      Overall, I hope you can enjoy the game core mechanic as the game gets finished and polished during the coming weeks.

      Tomorrow friday 7/29 I will update the game solving a couple of annoying bugs and adding a new London scenario for you to try.

      Keep reporting any bugs or features that didn't suit you or that you would like to be added to the game.

      Mission Mode will be added next week.

      Stay tuned!
