Bugfix Notes for August 11, 2021

Mac Platform:
- Corrected a build tools error which led to achievements being temporarily disabled on Steam for Mac users. Thank you to members of our Discord who were instrumental in reporting the problem.

Menu Links:
- Discord invite link updated. If you had clicked the "Feedback" button and saw an "Invalid invite" link in the last day or two, please try it again.

Greetings everyone!

As the title says, it's update time!

We'll go over the highlights first, and as always, you can find the changelog below.

Family dynamics change

This is just the first step in a bigger overhaul aimed at preventing the population snowball that a lot of you experienced.
- Citizens leave their parental home later, though there are additional modifier that change this.
- Implemented a progressive chance reduction for couples to get more children, if they already have children.

Relevant info feed during events

One of the things gravely missing when an event happens is a way to see the current status of important resources and social issues. This is no more. Hover the mouse over an event answer, and you'll get a nice, filtered recap of the relevant stats.

Quality of life upgrades

Several tidbits that were requested on the forum and on discord like some added info on tooltips or additional important indicators.

Additions

- Added event hints to provide more info on the current status of important resources and social issues.
- Added some data on the School info panel
- More info is now displayed on the Annual panel.
- Added colorization to the Annual panel entries to make the very important entries stand out.
- Building size (grid-wise) is now displayed on the building info card.
- When Health drops too low, an indicator is now shown hovering above the citizen.

Fixes

- Fixed a faulty display of some data on the School info panel
- Fixed a couple of glitches on the Annual panel
- Fixed an situation in which the game would basically block on the Game over panel
- Fixed some typos and general text errors.

Tweaks

- In general families will now have less children. Added a progressive chance reduction if the family already has children.
- In general adults will move out of their parental home later in their lives and there are several additional tweaks in place specifically aimed at preventing late game population snowballing out of control.
- The duration of education directly impacts how fast a citizen advances in class. This is changed from the earlier implemented direct class increase to provide a permanent bonus.
[*]Added the relevant shortcut to change building model when placing some buildings.

And now that's taken care of, let's look at the horizon for a moment. We're still regularly taking in all the suggestions and comments written on all our channels, sort and filter to see what we can do about it (and when). Here's a snippet of what we're working on:

- Buildings panel - A "list" of all the buildings you have in your town, along with a quick overview of their upgrade status, a quick way to select them and move the camera to them.
- Camera tilting - Not much more that can be said about this.
- Gradually implementing modding support - This will definitely all be done at once. We've got the Steam backend to setup, prepare the Mod manager, do some tool cleanup, write a whole lot of documentation and at least some examples. Hence, this will go in several steps.
- Automatic trade on docks/harbor - As requested. Also, not much to add to this.
- Performance optimization - It's time to tackle this as well

Naturally there will be more done, fixed and implemented, but this is just a taste of things to come.

Content Update

Bonkies is all about wholesome cooperation and good, light-hearted fun!

We know that some of our Cadets are well trained video game veterans with much experience and a professional, goal-oriented attitude.
But we also know some of some of our Cadets appreciate a less-challenging experience, that requires a bit less coordination and provides a more relaxed time.

So, to make sure everyone can enjoy Bonkies at their own pace, we're introducing two difficulty modes!

Chill mode introduces changes like:

- A more forgiving physics engine, which makes the blocks easier to manipulate
- Longer time limits required to finish a level
- Special blocks take longer to explode
- Jetpacks take longer to overload

For those of you who enjoyed the original mix of fun and challenge, the professional mode is just the way you like it.

So if you know someone that you'd like to play Bonkies with, but weren't sure if they'd be up to the challenge, now is the time to invite them to have fun together!

We hope you enjoy playing!
