For Mac platform, the update will be released with a delay.
Update 1.37

- The sound of a building being destroyed is now slightly quieter.
- Fixed an interface bug where clicking with a small cursor offset did not work on some buttons.
Update 1.36
The game is built on a much newer version of Unity, which should have a positive effect on the speed of the game, but also something can go wrong... we'll see.
I also added another item to the Workshop, which could be a great expansion of the area.
- I refused to compress the game data, now it takes a little more on the disk, but it should be loading a little faster, and further updates should be smaller.
- In defense mode, you can now call an enemy attack in advance.
- Fixed a bug where the announcement voice did not complete the phrase completely when speeding up time.
- TAA anti-aliasing has been fixed.

- Heart of Hope can no longer be knocked down by marauders.
- Heart of Hope - price increased from 5000 to 7000, environmental damage reduced from -20 to -18, number of workers reduced from 60 to 40, generation reduced from 400 to 370.
- Resource-free construction now applies to the Orbital Station.
- The time acceleration button has been scaled up.
- Updated documentation on creating mods for Workshop, now it is a google document and edits will be displayed dynamically.
Update 1.35 + 1.35f1
Also, what do you think about making the Remaster version as the main version of the game, and letting the standard version be selected through the launcher settings?
- The efficiency of the Eco House and Mega Drill have returned to their previous values.
- Environmental damage from nuclear power plants has been slightly reduced. -17 → -15
- Improved positioning of corner buildings, sometimes they were not built even though the angle and size were correct.
- Added a new element to Workshop - Epic Arm, which can hold the entire city. It is designed for the "Simulation" mode, which means "white plains". It may be interesting to fight in defense mode with marauders on top of the hand %)
Update 1.35f1
- The Remastered version is now the standard at launch, the old version of the game can be played through the Steam library.
- Changing the game speed works much faster.
- When building all defensive structures, the area of their effect is now shown.
- The camera can now zoom out more.
- Fixed a bug where DLSS was blocking anti-aliasing.
- Fixed a bug where the marauder attack on white plains sometimes did not occur.

Update 1.34
- The marauder attack has been adapted to the level of the city's development, so the attack will not be fatal if the player has not managed to build a defense.
- The description of the underground delivery unit has been extended.
- Added highlighting of the area of shields and lightning rod coverage during their construction.
- The "tourism" demand now also works on the White Plains. The number of Zeppelins for the White Plains and the Ice Citadel has been increased.
- Eco-House - the cost of the building has been increased, the number of inhabitants has been reduced. The change is intended to reduce the efficiency of the building, some people complained that they breaking the balance due to their excessive efficiency. such changes will make the building less efficient in the use of precious space.
- Mega drill - now consumes more energy and takes longer to extract resources. There was also a complaint about the breaking of the balance, so I lowered the efficiency of the building a bit.
- The "rebuild all" button now always works correctly (before it was often displayed with zero and did nothing)
- Fixed a bug where buildings that were restored from the "Rebuild All" action did not restore their priority.

- The engineering hangar is no longer stuck with produced parts for buildings that are on pause.
- Small interface fixes.
Update 1.33

Update 1.32
In the coming month, I plan to return to Cliff Empire a bit and make some improvements based on the player's feedback.
Also, if you have any feedback about anything that annoys you in the game, please write it in the comments below. I will do my best to fix everything that is within my power.
Also, note that access to the Workshop has been opened. It has been available for a long time, but I didn't know that there was such a button as "make visible to everybody" so that it became fully visible.
The launch parameters of the remastered version have changed a bit, so if you had a shortcut to CliffEmpire_HQ.exe it will no longer work, you need to create a new one.
- Portuguese localization added.
- Corrections have been made to the texts of the French, Czech, Spanish, and Turkish localizations.
- A small optimizatio.
- Fixed two errors related to the location "White Plains"
- [Remaster] DLSS support has been added in the settings, it flickers a little, but maybe in some cases, it can increase the rendering speed.
AI Olympius on EA.
Our new project has finally reached Steam Early Access, and it has been polished for several weeks with a small amount of feedback.
The game is a continuation of the Cliff Empire universe, and it takes place decades after the repopulation of Earth. Maybe not everyone likes other genres, but as I said before, work needs diversity ;) The game has been in development for 3.5 years, and the idea of the game and several attempts to implement it have been in progress for 12 or 13 years... In some way, this is my personal climb to Olympus.
The game currently has about 22% of the plot, and it can offer approximately 6-11 hours of gameplay, depending on the player's skills in the genre.
