Update 0.4.319 Lighting, power system, new music, improved tutorial
A brand new update has been uploaded for Green Again, let's see today's loot:
Updated Tutorial
Whether you're a new player trying the demo for the first time, or have spent a little more time in Green Again, we've reworked the in-game tutorial to make it easier than ever to hit the ground running and get your colony growing.
If you've played previously and would like to try the new tutorials (or just need a refresher!), start up a level and head to Settings > Gameplay > Reset Tutorial to experience it from scratch!
Lighting and Power
During the darker months, Sproutling homes, outposts, and lighting decorations will all require power at night, which you'll now need to provide for using a brand new power system: solar panels and batteries. Place solar panels during the warmer, brighter months in-game to generate power and store it in your batteries for use during these colder seasons to keep your Sproutlings happy! Watchtowers will also require power throughout the whole day, so you'll want to stock up as much as possible to be able to defend your colony.
New Music
We've got a swanky new soundtrack in this latest update, written by the incredible Tobi Weiss! We don't want to spoil the joy of discovering it for you, so we'll just say this: new theme music and dynamic tracks which become richer as you expand your colony. You're welcome 🎶
All you have to do to access all these new additions is make sure you've updated to the latest version of the demo - so whether you're joining us from Next Fest or you've been around for a while, there's something new to enjoy 💚 Full changelog is below, but in the meantime, have you spotted our latest livestream?
