0.5.9 - Attack sound effects
Attack sounds
Finally, battles aren't quiet! Every single weapon in the game has been given its own sound, even stick and rock throw.
UI improvements
We've improved the contrast between text and background, so that text is easier to read. Some UI elements have been given an update a well.
Improved tutorial
We've added voice over, a new unique music track, and we've made several changes that improves the overall experience.
Stable version?
Since this is the last update that is mainly a general improvements update for a while, we've really taken the time to fix bugs and make sure everything works as intended. The next major build will focus more on a new feature (more about this further down).
Of course, we'll be implementing hot fixes for bugs that the community find and report, until the next major feature is implemented.
What feature won the survey?
For the last week or so we've been running a public survey where we asked what we should focus on next. Thank you so much to those of you who responded! It's given us some really great insight, which helps us plan our road map.
We'll only reveal the winner at this point, for various reason, but what we can reveal is that the least voted feature received votes from a whopping 9.5% of the respondents. From this, we can conclude that every single feature in the survey deserve our care and attention.
We can also reveal that two features got very close to receive the most votes.
So what feature received the most votes?
Walls and siege units.
Expect this feature to be present in the next major update. We'll do our best to make walls and siege units a really cool addition to the game!
