Alpha 0.2.7

Alpha 0.2.7 is now out

Changelog:

    <*> Rewamped tutorial system, Should be clearer and more up to date
    <*> Categorized buildings based on their research level
    <*> New building, Windmill, this building is similar to the power station. It generates the same amount of power but can be placed right next to another building and does not require cooling. The graphics for this building is still work in progress
    <*> More bug fixes

    This is a small update, I thought it important to update the tutorial to with the new controls introduced in the last few updates. Soon there will be a bigger content update containing more buildings and research

      Development update

      Development Update

      Updates has run a bit dry the last weeks, this is not because I stopped working. Rather the opposite, I have been doing a huge rewrite of the core making the code more stable and usable.

      The new version is still not ready, and will be about a week before it is ready.

      I am working on this project alone and having to do the art and code takes alot of time.

      Alpha 0.2.2 Bug fixes

      Alpha 0.2.2 is released with a few bug fixes:

      * Tutorial will no longer popup after loading a game which already finished it
      * Cells will no longer glitch out when entering a building.
      * Fixed a bug where the money text would dissapear after getting 100 million
      * Fixed a bug with the Research tree, that would make some nodes invisible.
      * Improved general performance with the Resource tree.

      Alpha 0.2.1

      Hi there! version 0.2.1 is now live with a few updates.

      Changelog:
      * Technology Tree

      The technology tree will be moddable in the next update. Currently it has only two upgrade levels. Basic and Improved, basic contains all the standard buildings (power factory, rails, etc..) while Improved contains a rail type that is double the normal speed, worth investing in.

      Version 0.2.0 Released

      * A short introduction to the game.

      * Lots of optimizations to the code base.
      * Small improvements in the mod engine.
