  Ratopia DevDiary #38 - Tourism System

  Hello all, it's Cassel, developer of .It has been a while since our last development diary.Over the past few updates, we have mainly focused on relatively small-scale changes, so there were not many topics that felt substantial enough to cover in detail through a development diary.This time, however, we are preparing a slightly larger update, and we thought it would be a good opportunity to share some of our current development progress and the process behind it.In this development diary, we would like to briefly introduce how we came to plan the tourism content for the next update, as well as give you an overview of what the tourism system currently looks like in development.Preparing the UpdateWe have been preparing this update little by little since January to make sure the schedule does not slip too far behind.Our goal for this update was to prepare content comparable in scale to DLC, encouraging players to return to the game and revisit it, while also making sure the new content could be experienced relatively early in a playthrough so that the early-game experience would feel different as well.In addition to new content, we also wanted to address various improvements that players have been requesting, such as quality-of-life changes and AI improvements.To achieve these goals without issue, we first laid out several possible directions for the update, then carefully reviewed which type of content would be the most appropriate for this update.The ideas we considered at the time were as follows.Navigator Theme: A theme where players build a ship with limited space, similar to the DLCs for Oxygen Not Included, RimWorld, and Factorio, then manage their city by discovering artifacts with various effects across the world map. Mercenary Company Theme: A theme similar to Battle Brothers, where individual management elements such as weapons, armor, ammunition, and skills are added to the soldiers in the city, and players manage their city using the funds earned by sendi...

  1.0.0530 Update

  Hello dear leaders of Ratopia!! Thank you sincerely for your patience while waiting for this update. Originally, we hoped to deliver a wide range of quality-of-life improvements. However, within a limited timeframe, we spent a great deal of time discussing which features would provide the greatest satisfaction to players if updated first. On top of that, overlapping schedules made it more challenging than expected to clearly distinguish which features could realistically be implemented within the given period. As a result, we were not able to develop as many additions as we had initially hoped. That said, each change included in this update was carefully selected after considerable thought, and we hope you will find some value in the overall quality of these improvements. If this update did not fully meet your expectations, we sincerely apologize, and we will strive to prepare the next update with even greater care and thoroughness.
