Tiny World v0.2.0

TinyWorld v0.2.0

We are happy to announce the release of Tiny World v0.2.0!

Since the last update, a few major features were added to Tiny World.

Highlights

Scenarios

The game now comes with scenarios that provide a starting landscape. They provide an alternative to starting on the default, empty landscape. Each scenario has its own frequency of random tiles, which allows for a more diverse gameplay. Seven scenarios are shipped with the game.

An editor mode was implemented for the game, so scenarios can be created easily. A short manual is provided under docs/SCENARIOS.md. You can share your maps in the Maps & Scenarios category of the Tiny World Discussions.

Achievements

Achievements were added to the game, to provide players with an objective and motivation. The built-in scenarios are locked behind achievements.

Game features

The game was extended by several features and rules:

• Hills terrain, which is not suitable for farming.
• Shepherds and pastures, for food production on hills.
• The number of random tiles the player can place is limited.
• Churches and monasteries can be built to extend that limit.

Usability

In addition to the features mentioned above, we did a lot of usability and quality of live improvements, from more in-game information over a rework of the main menu to graphics and UI tweaks.

For a full list of changes, see the Releases on GitHub.

Unfortunately, this release is not save-game compatible.

We wish players a lot of fun with the new Tiny World release, and hope for your feedback!
