TOL - Update 0.2 + Launch

Hello everyone!

We have pushed out a new update (version 0.2) that hopefully should address how unbalanced the game was at launch.

also, we forgot to make a Launch blog post so this one will serve both purposes

We have also tried to make the game less luck based so a good strategy should be rewarded more often.

This is achieved by increasing the amount of Creatures available in the ranch to 4 (previously 3) and doubling the amount of $ earned each round (previously 2, now 4).

Additionally, we have added 3 new traits, and significantly increased the chances of a creature having at least 1 trait.

We have also changed a few things on the graphics side of the game.

Like, the ranch units being colored properly!

Or the trade window showing the selling area more clearly!

Or units having a little animation + sound whenever they're moved!

Here's a full list of changes:

• Doubled per-round income
• The player can now buy units after reaching 5 unit limit (but then they need to either breed or sell one unit to be able to start the next round)
• The creature preview buttons in the ranch now show the proper unit sprite and color
• Fixed a bug where the Lactating trait could be lost after breeding a cow
• Doubled the chance of a creature spawning as a Futa
• Significantly increased the chance of a Creature having at least 1 trait.
• Fixed breeding warnings sometimes being duplicated
• Fixed a bug where dead units still take damage
• Slightly nerfed harpy's ability Ranged Attack
• Disabled some particle effects on dead Creatures
• The little money effect now properly shows negative numbers (previously, they were displayed as -$-1 instead of -$1)
• Added some new sounds (taking damage, dying, moving the unit)
• Added 3 new traits (singing voice, thick skin, dominant genes)
• Completely re-balanced the enemy Creatures on every round
• Fix particle effect position on some Creatures under the Horny effect

Jam Post-Mortem:

Trial of Legends was a game we created for the NSFW Minijam 16. We had a lot of fun while doing it! Altho, what we planned ended up being a bit too ambitious and we had to rush in the last day or so. We're going to fix and update the game a bit now, as we don't have a time limit over our heads anymore, meaning we can use more care while polishing up the game.
