#OSTRIVE ALPHA 2 UPDATE#

Together we managed to get the game UI on a new level and break the silence with a unique soundtrack.ДЄlthough it was almost a whole year in development since last update and had some major improvements, keep in mind that it is still an alpha, so donвЂ™t expect it to be as stable as a finished game. With the funding collected during Alpha 1 IвЂ™ve been able to get a lot of help from some of my very talented friends. ThereвЂ™s a lot of interesting new stuff still on the road map, but I donвЂ™t want to add those before the game system is able to make them really meaningful.ДЄlso this is the first update to feature some of the work not entirely made by me. I believe that attention to the detail is what sets Ostriv apart from other city-building games so IвЂ™m just refining its stronger points. But instead of going the path of adding вЂњmore of the sameвЂќ, I tried to fit as much as I can into existing buildings, improve whatвЂ™s already there and fill in the missing parts. I guess when someone says вЂњnew contentвЂќ for a city building game, first that comes into mind is new buildings and production chains.
