0.6.4 -- 2021-02-08 Monday

I didn't totally get how web fonts were loaded onto a web page or even inside a Phaser game. So I followed a tutorial from Pagecloud which lead me to Font Squirrel. So happy to report Cairo is in all the right places.

I let a game stopper bug go through, so had to double back and fix that. Also tried to tweak the drone mining function a bit, so the game isn't so stingy. As the game develops, I might need to tweak all this again.

• SG413: As a web server, I should display text in the fonts I uploaded.

0.6.3 -- 2021-02-07 Sunday

I originally estimated about an hour of work, but the problem was much deeper than that with duplicating events, stats, load outs, and a host of other problems surfaced as I dug deeper into this. Every time the game restarted...well it was a mess. Took about nine hours to iron out everything.

SG406

As a game, when I restart. I should not see double Earth and Speed demo navpointers!

0.6.2 -- 2021-01-29 Friday

Took longer than I expected (15 hours) to revise all the upgrade text and try to balance out ore, gold, and time requirements. A couple of problems with drones has been resolved too. Also revised the tech tree under the game manual and made some slight changes to tech requirements for mining.

0.6.1 -- 2021-01-20 Wednesday

Commented out a music file that isn't used in the game yet to save bandwidth. Also fixed the main page's link to start game.

Combined the intro and game into one file also added a waiting step to make sure certain parts of the game are loaded before starting.

Some minor level improvements and the following cards have been published today.

SG405	Removed test code that allowed the player to get 500 gold and ore from colliding with an EMP mine.
SG407	Removed test supply pods that were on the right side of Earth.
