As the title says - here is the fix for some of the bugs, introduced by the recent update
Please, excuse me for any inconveniences they might have brought to you :<

Still working on the game's appearance

It's a very tedious process, and there's still a lot to manage

Generally, I prefer only posting my current progress and workflow, but, obviously, game development as a process is all about coming up with different ideas and approaches to their fulfillment.
So I figured, you could also be interested in the things like the concept of Events system rework and other stuff, that will probably take a lot of time to fully implement into the game and as of now only exist as an idea living in the notes.

Working on new skyboxes and assets for the game
A way to go, still...

All paid subscribers will be able to see my progress in action in the upcoming «feature showcase» build of the game (see this post for more context)

It took me way too long to come up with this, but at the end of the day I just hope it looks decent

A little 2D animation test.
As I have stated at some point in the past, I plan to update game's graphics before finally moving the development from the Indev stage into Alpha.

Hello everyone! The new update is available.
You can download it here:

or on the game's itch.io page.  

A quick rundown on what this update brings into the game:
🔹 3 new ascension upgrades;
🔹 2 new achievements;
🔹 Size stashing system and out-of-the-game growth rework (see this post);  
🔹 Quite a few bugfixes;
🔹...And a small new system that you will probably notice upon entering the main menu.

The update also includes the following balance adjustments:
🔸 Minimum and maximum amounts of AP dropped by entities spawned by «Ascendant Perception» asc. upgrade is increased from 1-3 to 4-6;
🔸 «Alternative Energy» asc. upgrade now also restores growth ray energy when it's active;
🔸 Growth and income efficiency of «Pat-pats» asc. upgrade is reduced from 10% to 2.5% to preemptively balance out one new quite powerful combination;
🔸 «Dark Arts» upgrade is now x15 times more efficient both in terms of growth and income.

In the next update I plan to focus mostly on updating the scenario editor and polishing secondary gamemodes. 
That said, I am always open for your suggestions! 

Thank you for all the feedback for the previous update!
And special thanks to all who supports the game on Boosty! It really helps pushing things forward. <3
Happy Macro March to all of you!

Happy Macro March everyone!
I am also happy to announce the second part of the I40225 Update.
As the thumbnail states, the update will be up on March 7th 2025

The update will be on the smaller side and will mainly focus on some quality of life improvements.
The update is going to feature:
🔹3 new asc. upgrades and 2 new achievements;
🔹Size stashing system and out-of-the-game growth rework (see this post);
🔹Events availability indication (if there are no available events on a stage, the «message» button vanishes completely); 
🔹A small-little surprise for you :>
And quite a few bug fixes.
Here I would like to thank all of you for the feedback! 
As a solo spare-time developer, I cannot stress how helpful it is for the game's development!

And special thanks to my supporters on Boosty! 
Starting with the update after the upcoming one I plan to start uploading «Feature Showcase» versions of the game for the paid subscribers.
Those will be just the non-feature complete versions I use internally to test stuff out before releases. Posting those versions will not take any effect on the development workflow, since they are already an essential part of it anyway. 
I just want my subscribers to have the fullest picture about the state of the project they are supporting.

Just to be as clear as possible: YGD is free and always will be. The game is called «Your Growth Drive» for a reason, and as a matter of principle I want it to stay this way. I will never put any paywalls or postpone versions just to try to make money off of it.
As much as I would want to become a full-time game developer for all things growy, paywalling is just not the way for YGD. 

Thank you very much for your interest in the project!
And once again happy Macro March to you all!  <3
