In the last week I've also created a little Discord for hangouts, and Adaptory is now listed as "Coming Soon" on Steam. If you could wishlist or share the game on Steam, that will help a lot – thank you!

Following on from an earlier blog post, some buildings (such as lights, and the transmitter you need to win the game) now require power to function. You can either go the renewable route with solar panels, or the quick route with coal.

Be warned, though – while coal generates heaps of power, it also generates heaps of carbon dioxide…

There’s still a lot more work to go on this, but now pawns write their diary entries when they’re idle (rather than their entries appearing out of nowhere), and you can see them writing away about whatever is interesting to them at the time.

When you’re trying to place building blueprints, you can now immediately see what’s about to be built. You also get immediate feedback (visual and sound) if you try to place a building in the wrong place – for example, a light with no ceiling, or a tree with no foundation.

There's a lot of other changes, fixes and improvements in the latest version of Adaptory. Full details are in the release notes:

Thank you again for supporting this project, and for all of your feedback so far!
