We've introduced a comprehensive progress tracking system that monitors your efficiency in real time:

• Construction Statistics: Counters for placed elements, used resources, and time spent constructing specific machines.

• Repair Statistics: A detailed overview of the number of faults repaired and the efficiency of restoring machines to working order.

• Deconstruction Summary: Reports on recovered materials and disassembly efficiency.

• Fixing existing achievements: We've fixed a bug that prevented trophies from unlocking when completing levels.

• New challenges: We've added 15 new achievements to Steam, including:

  • "Handyman" – for fixing 100 glitches.

  • "Medieval Recycling" – for recovering 100% of the materials from deconstruction.

  • "Head for Design" – for unlocking all blueprints.

• Precise Aiming: We've implemented a new trajectory calculation system for catapults and ballistae. Fixed a bug where the reticle would "float" at low frame rates.

• Snapping Fixes: We've improved the snapping system during construction. No more floating beams!

• Build Refactoring: By using the Composite pattern, the system now handles more complex structures without performance drops.

Full integration and fixes for: Catapult, Onager, Trebuchet, Ballista, Battering Ram, and Siege Tower.

• Added visual states for machines: New textures for construction stages, damage, and complete deconstruction.

• Improved physics of battering rams and siege towers when interacting with uneven terrain.

• New Level: "Siege of the Seaside Fortress" – Expanded level with dynamic obstacles, burning wall sections and new resource supply points.

• Interactive Environment: Added destructible palisades, target gates and guard towers that react to hits from your machines.

• Engineering Table: New interaction point in the camp, allowing you to manage blueprints (based on ScriptableObjects).

"Smooth gameplay is smooth gameplay - even if a castle is burning in the background."

• Scene Optimization: A thorough cleanup of the CampPostPort scene has been performed. Removed unnecessary objects and optimized collision meshes.

• Loading Fix: Solved a critical bug that blocked level loading on specific hardware configurations.

• Visual Polish: * Fixed the Outline system (outlines of damaged parts now work correctly).

  • Synchronized information popups after building.

  • Added new particle effects (sparks, dust) when using tools.

We have introduced automated tests and integration for key systems:

• Verification of the blueprint database consistency.

• Load tests for mass spawning of machines.

• Automatic check of the correctness of granting material refunds (Material Refund Algorithm).
