Wow... It's been a busy 4 and a bit months. But It's finally here!

Are we finished?
Not even close! There's still a ton of content, mechanics, and improvements we have yet to make. But it's about time we opened up to a wider audience to help us create something as close to perfection as we have the time to make.

We hope you enjoy what Fungal Fiefdom has to offer already. If you have any feedback, good or bad, give us a shout on our discord!

It has been just over two months since the GameJam that created Fungal Fiefdom ended. And with about a month to go until EA release we thought we'd share a quick update on what the team's been up too, and what to expect.

The mycelium growth has been entirely overhauled. Previously, it was just a circular decal that slowly scaled up. Now, the mycelium propagates through and around terrain (slightly) more realistically. Most obstacles slow mycelium generation somewhat, rocks being particularly difficult for it to penetrate, and trees and barriers blocking growth entirely.

Along with more obstacle generation optimisations and backend improvements, the terrain and navigation mesh systems have been generalised. This allows us to have multiple terrain heights, creating more interesting layouts.
Both this and the new mycelium propagation (and some super secret new features) allow us to create interesting maps for more varied tactical challenges. Some of these will be hand crafted, some randomly generated, and some a mix of both.

Whilst we are proud of our game as it was for the jam, one map doesn't provide a huge amount of replayability, even with the randomness of the terrain and card drops. In order to enchourage playing more than just one round there will be a few features to create a path of progression. Including new maps, a chance to unlock more powerful mushrooms, and progressively more challenging enemies to use them on. A set of achievements will also add difficult goals to work towards over multiple games.

There's more minor changes and optimisations than are worth mentioning here. However Some of the notable content additions:

• New cards
  
• New enemies
  
• Overhauled enemy AI
  
• More settings and options
  
• Better visibility
  
• More stuff I'm probably forgetting to mention

Thank you for showing an interest in Fungal Fiefdom, and we hope to see you at release!
