The Spirit of the Autonauts Game Bundle is LIVE!
Hello!
We've an amazing offer for all Spirit of the Island owners (or not yet owners *wink*)! We partnered with Curve Games to bring you an exciting collaboration of two sim games.
Now, all of you know a great deal about SOTI so let's talk about Autonauts first. While we can call it a farming game, technically, it's a lot more about the simulation part of the life-sim genre.
In Autonauts, you travel across universe and colonise uninhabited planets.. with the help of your bots. Yes, you heard that right. You'll be creating a colony of robots, automating them by using a visual programming language with the ultimate goal to create a fully automated and self-sustained colony. And don't be scared about the "programming" part - it's very easy to learn and you don't need to code anything!
"But how is it similar to Spirit of the Island?!" - good question! Autonauts has all core features of a good life-sim game: from gathering to building, cooking and fishing to tailoring, farming, animal husbandry and more - the opportunities to automate and colonise and truly limitless. So instead of being the "adventuring farmer", here you'll take a role of a robotic colony leader! Sounds exciting? We bet it is! The Spirit of the Autonauts bundle will give you an additional 15% discount to current price level.
Christmas is coming and Spirit of the Island if fully ready to it! In this update we are introducing new Christmas decorations, as well as two new major systems that many asked for! Without further ado, let' get started!
NEW
Christmas Decorations: Christmas Tree, Santa, Gnomes, Sleds and a Snowman! You will find them in the Decorations tab of the build menu;
New Banking System: now you can build a Banking Machine and deposit your coins and earn daily interest (about 1,5%);
New Pet System: you can build a dog house or a cat cushion (or both!) and get new little friends to join your family! At first they will be little baby pets, but as time passes they'll grow and mature cats and doggos. For now they will roam around your farm and consume some foods, but in later updates we'll add new interactions with them. You can have 2 pets maximum for now.
CHANGES AND FIXES Performance improvements near some of the game objects; Improved all animal sound effects.
