The developers of turn-based RPG Songs of Conquest have taken to Steam to outline the latest update that contains a little bit of everything. Of a particular note is the facelift that has been given to the game’s Map Editor. The blog post contains a brief message from the UI Designer and Art Director Christian Knutsson for those who are interested in the details.
“The Map editor is first and foremost a tool, but we also want the map creator to feel that they are in the Songs of Conquest world while creating. The biggest and most important part for me was to make a UX (user experience) overhaul, to make it a better editor from an interface perspective, how do we layout the tools, how do we categories the panels and make all the properties clearer to understand. The Map editor is something we use internally to create our own maps and entire campaigns so it has been great to make it something that we are also proud to release externally and have everyone be able to create maps for the game.”
Other additions to the game include:
- Battlegrounds can now be played hotseat
- Added Buildings and Research to Codex
- Added ability for Sappers and Artificers to select which adjacent hex they want to place their palisades/mines on
- Fixed issues with animations and positioning on troops hit by Faey Fire ability
- Fixed threat level calculations often vastly overestimating a Wielder’s spell casting ability
- Fixed confirm popup position when disbanding troops with large HUD
- Fixed issue that caused modded random map blueprints to throw an exception
- Fixed issue causing exception on some dialogue triggers
- Fixed issue when multiple players in a simultaneous turns game tried to initiate battle at the same time
- Dead wielders now drop a chest containing all their lost equipment instead of each piece of equipment separately
