  Demo Update: Leaderboards & Progression

  Hello dear Factomancers!We are delighted to share this new version of Factomancer with you, bringing a wealth of exciting new features! The main focus of this update is progression and the leaderboard.One of our main goals with Factomancer is to bring together different kinds of players: those who focus on speed and those who enjoy planning and optimization. With the addition of the pause feature, we gave builder-oriented players the tools to create factories at a more relaxed pace. With this update, we want to bring these two worlds together so they can compete endlessly and continue enriching the Order.Run Score: Runs are now evaluated through a score calculated using multiple performance factors. These different criteria allow every type of player to achieve high scores.Progression: Your run score now contributes to your Factomancer Level. This level drives your meta-progression and unlocks new content.Leaderboard: To finally determine who the greatest Factomancer is, your best run score is uploaded to a global leaderboard. Compare yourself with your friends or challenge the best Factomancers in the world.Thank you for your continued support, your feedback, and your encouragement!If you'd like to get involved in the development of Factomancer, join our Discord!The Voltige Games Team📋 Full Update Details🏆 Progression, Score & LeaderboardNew Run Score: Runs are now evaluated using multiple performance metrics.End-of-Run Screen: Complete redesign of the end screen with the new score system and visual improvements.Meta-progression System: Content is now unlocked by reaching Factomancer Levels (earned at the end of runs through your score) instead of the number of days played.Leaderboard System: At the end of each run, your score is automatically submitted to a global leaderboard.Archives Screen: Added an archive interface allowing you to review the history of your last 30 runs.Compendium Interface: New interface linked to your Factomancer Level.Progression Management...

  Demo Update: In-Game Pause

  Dear Factomancers, We're excited to share an update that we hope will allow even more players to enjoy the experience we want Factomancer to offer, while still offering a rewarding challenge for our veterans.It's been a little over a month since the demo launched, and we're still very touched by your support and enthusiasm.Thank you to everyone who has played it and joined our Discord server! We've been carefully reading every piece of feedback, whether it comes from Steam reviews, our Discord server, the Steam Community Hub, or social media.Overall, your feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, but one recurring point of friction stood out for some players: the lack of a pause feature and the constant time pressure. From the very beginning, we envisioned Factomancer as a pause-free experience, with strong RTS influences. That design choice dates back to our earliest playtests, and the game has evolved considerably since then.Without compromising the experience we've built, one we want to be accessible while retaining its depth, we decided to revisit the question of adding a pause feature. After many internal discussions and experiments, as well as encouraging results from community playtests, the answer became clear: the pause belongs in Factomancer.We hope that those who were discouraged by the lack of a pause feature will give Factomancer another chance! Thank you again for your support and your feedback. We're more determined than ever to build Factomancer with you, and for you.The Voltige Games Team---🔧 Patch Notes⏸️ Pause SystemYou can now pause the game at any time to build peacefullyGeneral polish of the pause system: interaction between screens and pause, tutorial flow, fabric and portal behaviors (which didn't react to pause), key rebindingAdded a dedicated sound when activating the pause⚖️ BalancingEnd-of-day tokens increased from 5 to 8 to allow for more constructionsDaily objectives revised upwards to enhance the challenge, now that pause is available...
