Hello Elders!Just before the summer vacations start, I got in a new small update. This new version brings some balance changes to some of the new buildings (and a few of the older ones). As usual, thank you all for the suggestions!Also, the Switch version of Trade Secrets is coming this week in the EU, and on the 30th of July in the USA!Future updates!The game has been out for a while now, but thanks to your support I still have updates planned for the end of the year and some for 2027! For the next batch of updates, I want to focus more on customization of games for players that want to play

Hello Elders!I hope you are successfully fighting all the Heat events that the Domains have decided to throw at us these days!This version brings some small balance changes, but they should especially help players that are struggling to find folks in their games. Also, double cats!I also have news on the porting of the DLC: today the GoG version should be available, and the Switch version should be up next week! Enjoy!Have fun,Michele V 1.10.4 Balance: Events Basic Folk events that add new Folk to the village will now appear even if the relative Presence event has not appeared, provided you bu

Hello Elders, Here are me more small changes and fixes! In particular, resources will now animate when an expedition returns, making the reveal a bit more interesting! Have fun, Michele Balance Dig for treasures: Now requires the Digger to be already in the village for this to appear UX When an expedition returns, the gained resources are now shown appearing in the animation Side Buildings UI max per page reduced to 20 to fit better on most screens Improved Apocalypse Season events so it is clearer what temperature they will be Post-win, the Final Blight malus is now removed Bugfixes Coin Robb

Hello Elders! Here are some more minor changes, and fixes on some edge cases. Have a great weekend! - Michele V 1.10.3a Balance Darwin: removing the temple after the Apocalypse has started now does not grant the achievement Harvesters and riding Hunters will now work with production bonuses and maluses Poison Ivy: Now requires 30 Wood to appear Crush the Wells event: Now requires 20 Water to appear UX Added information on what buildings produce, consume, or otherwise use creatures and machines Bugfixes Granny: Fixed Crop Collector not counting the last depletion step correctly Darwin: Fixed a

Hello Elders! These first weeks have been quite busy with feedback coming from many villages! With this update, Wanna still got some buffs to make her closer to other Elders' difficulty and allow you to not get too much screwed by the randomness of the markets (they are irrational, I heard), and Darwin got some tools to make more annoying events less of a problem. Also, I went over all expeditions to make rewards a bit better and make them more balanced overall! I also have news for GoG and Nintendo, I'm finishing the process with GOG so the DLC is not too far, and I am moving forward with Nin

There was a small issue with the Chinese version and today's latest update. I just uploaded a hotfix, please update the game if you are playing with chinese!

Hello Elders! I got some more balance changes in before the end of the week and was eager to see what you thought, so here we go! This is focusing again on Wanna, but we also have some Darwin changes. For Wanna, this update should give you a nice baseline of coins for when you get to summer. For Darwin, I mainly added a few more exotic buildings to the tree to make him more interesting. Remember, you need to start a new run to see the changes! Also, for Controller and Deck users, I added a new Steam Input command to allow opening the Expedition panel, you can assign it to your preferred Steam

Hello Elders! Thank you for the great reception of Trade Secrets, I am happy you like the quirky new mechanics! I received a lot of comments in these first days, and I've been reading all of them! I've been especially fond of the stories with the new elders (and of some very weird but funny bugs!) It turns out that introducing Coins to Pips caused all kinds of quarrels in their world (who would have thought??) and especially made it so that Wanna's story was a tad too harsh. Capitalism seems to have made thinks worse for Pips! Fortunately for us, Goldlings have decided to be a bit more underst

V 1.10.0e Hello Elders! I hope you are having a good weekend! I'm monitoring feedback on the new elders, and in the meantime we got a few more bugfixes! Have fun, Michele Balance Forced Forest outer edge to appear for Matus, Ronomy, Santa, Dad, and Randolph. Bugfixes Wanna: Fixed bug with Seasonal Market not working until you reload the game due to a late optimization Grandma: Fixed a second workaround to duplicate buildings (she's getting angry!) Darwin: Fixed map generation bug if not enough memories are unlocked Localization fixes

Just a few small weekend hotfixes before nighttime for a couple of annoying bugs (and one to avoid players being tempted to cheat with Grandma!) Good night! - Michele V 1.10.0d Bugfixes Fixed Seeds and Water eater boons messing up due to a new optimization Grandma: Fixed being able to upgrade a building while you already have the upgrade on the map Grandma: Fixed not being able to cure poison correctly in her buildings

A new version is up with some small changes to some of the new mechanics, and fixes for bad stuff. Thanks for the feedback, - Michele V 1.10.0c Balance Food that is disabled for consumption is now eligible for Expeditions. However, when a generic resource is required for an expedition, the more plentiful resource will be picked When you unlock Paved Road, you now also unlock Remove Road You can now perform Tasks on Roads (the rest is still not buildable!) Road is now to be placed on Flat instead of Ground terrains (makes more sense) Trisavolo: Trisavolo can now access Mountain expeditions with

Hello elders! I did some fixes for the reports of yesterday's launch of the DLC, especially to the Bard who was getting a bit too eager to break stuff, now it should be fine! Thank you for the reports! Also, Fast Mode now does not automatically skip the new expedition animations, but you can set it in the settings. So you can listen to the music while still having a fast game! Have fun, - Michele V 1.10.0b UX Added a new 'Skip Expedition Animation' setting instead of tying it to play speed, so you can decide separately (and listen to the new music!) Moved "Skip Animation" settings to 'Speed' B

Hello Elders! The time has come for the second DLC of dotAGE! Trade Secrets is here! This DLC introduces mechanics I've been wanting to add since... probably 2016? So it was about time they saw the light!Welcome to Trade Secrets! New Memories! Once you have purchased the DLC and updated the game to the latest version, when you start the game, you will notice that new memories have appeared in the memories menu! These memories are placed so to provide a nice progression flow, but, contrary to Folkways, you'll be able to play earlier with the content.To help existing players, the first new memor
