Hi there, I just wanted to clear up some things about what the rules consider as new features. Our team is working on a balance patch as well as expanding the tutorial (just a UI menu with text and images) to be more comprehensive. Would it be best to upload this as an explicitly "post-jam" version or are those changes ok and we should just upload it over the original? Just wanna make sure we're not going too far with what's allowed, thanks!
First of all, we would like to thank all of you who left feedback on our game, Bound Balance. This post wouldn't be happening without you! We've taken what you said and made some changes/additions to hopefully make the game more clear and more enjoyable, from balance changes to a brand new leaderboard system. You will find a link to both the jam version and the post-jam version on our game's page (the LD embedded version remains the jam one). For how many years can your humans survive?
-> Lightning strike changes - Lightning Strike decreases a Village's resources by 1000 for the first cast. That value is increased by 40% for each -subsequent cast affecting this tile. It also decreases the rate the Village obtain resources from neighbor nodes by 25% for 8 years.
-> Nature's Boon changes - Nature's boon instantly increases a Nature Tile's (Forest or Lake) resources by 800 for the first cast. This value is decreased by 10% for each subsequent cast affecting this tile.
-> Game starts off slower and easier.
-> Late game is a bit harder to manage.
-> Removed all known infinite gameplay edge-cases.
-> Tutorial UI Overhaul to better explain how game mechanics work.
-> Skill tooltip text updated to better reflect the balance changes.
-> Fixed flickering on animation end frames.
-> Fixed WebGL running on wrong Pipeline Settings.
-> Water Shader.
-> Change to Dead Tile Animation.
-> Added Background Music.
-> Leaderboard.
Our team barely made it in time this jam; our final build was published with 3 minutes left. There are definitely things we could still improve/fix, but overall we're quite happy with the final result. If you want to play a chill game about making potions with cute slimes, come try our game!
