Update 1.1 “Unfinished Busyness” has been released for the god game The Universim on Steam.
The Universim is a city-building game in which you play a god guiding a civilization from the Stone Age to the Space Age. It is available for Linux/SteamOS and currently on sale with 50% off in the Steam store for €13.99 (instead of €27.99), the offer ends on November 26.
The update brings a newer Unity version, 66 bug fixes, much better performance in big cities (about 50% more FPS at 2x speed), a construction queue, a reworked Holy Ground power for placing homes, a Town Hall log and the return of four languages.
As I mentioned in the previous update, I’ve been missing The Universim. We spent a long time working on this game, and after so many years, some of us needed a little time away. Coming back and playing it again reminded me how much I love it. The Universim is still the game I always dreamed of making.
We went through three months of automatic error reports and fixed 66 issues. The most widespread affected around 2,800 players. We focused on problems that could interrupt your game or put your progress at risk, including issues that could prevent saves from loading or stop the game from saving, as well as freezes involving the cult rocket and alien invasions.
We’ve also improved construction priorities and added a queue that lets you choose which buildings your Nuggets tackle first. The Holy Ground god power now lets you mark residential plots, giving you more control over where Nuggets build their homes.
Big cities run smoother: About 50% faster at 2x speed (about 76 to 116 frames per second). The worst stutters are about half as long at 1x and 60% shorter at 2x. Big planets use a lot less memory, and a new Large planet is ready about 17% sooner.
Small, Medium, and Large planets are now available from the beginning, with Large selected by default. Huge still unlocks in the Modern Age.
The new Town Hall log shows which Nuggets the Governor hired, which buildings ministers ordered, and why. Sick Nuggets now show where the sickness came from. The power wheel now explains what each power does.
Attacks now come every 20 game minutes instead of 10. Czech, Italian, Japanese and Traditional Chinese are back in the game, fully updated. Twitch integration works again with a one-click login.
