January 2022 (Week 3)

+ Dozer will now flatten uneven terrain tile by tile after placing a structure. (vid)
- Structures are limited to placing on terrain only if all terrain is +- 1 the average terrain height.
- This feature is vital for construction of larger buildings like the airfield, which is complete.
+ Terrain flattening costs both money and time, so players are incentivizes to seek flatter terrain. This will be balanced soon.
- Currently flattening the terrain for the airfield costs more money than is available from the first supply dump.
+ The terrain flattening feature is also present in the map editor
+ Asset visual scale was wrong and has been corrected for all buildings. For other assets, its not noticeable so that'll remain the same for now.
- Fixed-wing aircraft logic has begun, fixed-wing aircraft loiter in a circle rather than hover like a helicopter.
+ Five new music tracks have been made
+ Version 0.04 released and is available here: balancedbreakfast.itch.io/bombs-and-bullets
+ Here is the current music playlist for anyone that wants a listen: soundcloud.com/user-255042164/sets/b-b-ost
- For those that would like to use the AGDG recap, its here: recap.agdg.io
