Hi folks, and welcome to build 139! It includes these changes:
* Make Motherships move around in a circle
* Fix "no wormholes" bug
* Prevent region bosses from spawning at region edge
* Add Doctor Ultrageddon dialogue
Tim spent the week working on the Maker; I spent the week working on anti-cheat auditing. But somehow we managed to get a few user-visible things done.
The fix to wormholes is going to do the job, we hope. The problem was that (due to poor programming by me) each game effectively "chose" a number of wormholes per region. The expected value was 1, but sometimes you'd get 2 or 0. This would be the same for every region in the game! So if you got an unlucky game, no wormholes for you! In production, I think we got a few unlucky games in a row. In testing here in the office, we got lucky games and plenty of wormholes. So anyway, it's fixed now so that each region chooses the number of wormholes it gets independently. (Remember that green regions do not spawn wormholes.)
Setting toe into the lore department, Doctor Ultrageddon will say something every two hours.
Thanks for playing! We appreciate the help!
