Vorig jaar september verscheen The Tomorrow Children voor de PlayStation 4. De game werd echter niet al te positief ontvangen en ook wij waren niet erg optimistisch gestemd over het spel. Sinds die tijd zijn er echter verschillende updates beschikbaar gesteld die de game in een beter daglicht zetten. Q-Games heeft op het Europese PlayStation Blog laten weten dat er weer een grote update onderweg is.

Met de nieuwe patch voor The Tomorrow Children wordt de ‘Administrator Tower’ toegevoegd. Dit is een verlengstuk van de eerder geïntroduceerde Comrade Stars en Party Privilege Stamps en je kunt er administratieve opdrachten mee geven en deze zijn als volgt:

  • Fire Brigade – all fires in town will be extinguished.
  • Phase Healing – all comrades will be healed to full immediately.
  • Non-Resident Barrier – Non-residents are banned from entry to the town for a certain period of time (players already logged in are fine until they next log out). Used wisely this can give you something close to private servers!
  • Airship Raid – The nearest Bankrotz will be destroyed by aerial attack. This is fun for everyone to watch!
  • Comrade Summons – All players will be asked if they want to be teleported back to town, useful for calling people back to fend off an attack!
  • Terrain Clearer – Terrain surrounding structures in town will be cleared.
  • Power Saver – The town will draw electricity from the state for a short period of time, and not deplete the town’s energy supply.
  • Food Saver – The town will use food from the state for a short period of time, and not deplete the town’s food supply.
  • Turret Tuning – Soviet scientists will temporarily tune the turrets to fire an extra shot in quick succession. Particularly great when combined with a certain mayor!
  • Retashi Smasher – All retashi in the town will be instantly quashed, great for when a swarm has just arrived.
  • Clone Luminescence – By order of the Administrator, all comrades will glow for a short period of time.
  • Island Disperser – All islands will be dispersed in the order in which they were created. Great for cycling in new islands to play on when you have fully mined the existing ones!

Tevens zullen er met de nieuwe update nog meer aanpassingen worden gedaan en dit zijn:

  • Shotgun and missile launcher recoils and reloads are much snappier now.
  • Shaking trees to drop their apples is much more snappy too.
  • The stretch gun will stretch more.
  • Fighting off a bunch of izverg will now give you a bit of a breather and izvergs will be scarcer for a while.
  • We reduced the health of the green Bankrotz by 50%. We also sped him up a touch to balance that out but not too much. Bankrotz have occasionally been seen to attack in pairs, watch out!
  • There are more izverg in each wave now, but more “down time” between waves to give everyone a breather. This really allows people to prepare and have fun with their towns.
  • Walls and cube blocks are much stronger now and not so easily destroyed, try placing a wall all around your town!
  • You can now praise a comrade even after she has disappeared and a little smokey splodge is all that is left.
  • The Bankrotz fireball attack is now not so accurate and will fire randomly near where it thinks it is being shot from. However, it’s charge time is shorter so watch out!
  • The tougher Yellow and toughest red Bankrotz, Bondi and Zapptors will appear a little less often now.
  • Better tuning of Izverg attacks when there are fewer players defending a town.
  • Praising gives more points now towards Comrade Stars.
  • The radius of dynamite has been greatly increased, try blowing up some terrain!
  • Lowered construction costs for walls and cube blocks.
  • Viewing the daily rankings when they pop up will earn you Comrade Star points if you are in the top ten.
  • Some void powers are now discoverable in treasure boxes!
  • Opening treasure boxes now gives you more experience points.
  • Comrades above level 30 will now receive two character points (agility, dex, etc) per level.
  • Comrades above level 50 will now receive three character points per level! (existing high level comrades will suddenly find they have quite a few points to assign when they login)
  • Comrades will now receive a badge when they purchase licenses.
