**************PLEASE START A NEW GAME AFTER UPDATING************** THE GAME WILL MOST LIKELY BE A LITTLE CRAZY IF YOU DONT!
This is going to be a little wierd of an announcement. I am going to try to squeeze as much info into this post without getting too overboard.
First thing is first. The accessories are here. Now I need your help. I coded basically two versions of this and I need you to see which one would be the best to use for the game.
The version you have in your game as it stands is a more dumbed down version. The other one breaks it down by each phone, giving multiple accessories on a per phone basis. I thought this was way too micromanagey because it gave a total of over 150 accessories in the game that you had to stay on top of.
The current version has about 40 and isn't as crazy.
I need you to basically play this one for about a week and let me know if you think this is enough, or if you would like the crazier version.
If you choose the crazier version, its already coded so it is a simple switch. I can have it up and running within days of when you decide.
Though I really think, this current version should stay. It can already get hard to stay on top of these.
I assume you may notice too that per accessory stats are missing. That again is because of this. Its all coded, just needs a UI to display it. I don't want to spend time on it until you guys decide which version of accessories you would like in the game. This again is an easy add. same timeframe of a day or 2 to get it in the game.
Please let me know which version of the game you would prefer by posting on the forums here, tweeting me @ChromeAndroid or emailing me at [email protected]
Now on to the next bit of business. How the game will progress from this point. I know some are worried because updates have slowed, but again, I assure you everything is okay on this end. If you have been following me on twitter, you know how hectic my life has been so far in 2016. If you don't here is a post that explains a bit.

Its been crazy. I am working on this and a main project full time with little free lance things inbetween to pay the bills. I moved across the country, then had nothing but issues getting my battlestation and internet set back up.
But guess what!? That is all finished. I am not going anywhere for the forseeable future and I have nothing but time to share between the main project and this project.
I just want to remind everybody. This is a hobby project of mine. I am not making this one for the money. I will never abandon this project on the grounds of not making enough, or any reason really.
I padded the release date enough because I knew of this delay. I knew from the beginning I would be moving across country. No worries! We are still on track!
If you have any concerns or questions, please reach out to me. I will happily answer any of them.

KNOWN BUGS
You are not able to purchase accessories on the inital day's inventory screen. This is my fault back in the beginning of making this game. The way I coded that screen makes it impossible to really change without weeks of work. It only effects that inital screen and it will be fixed once the update comes out that revamps the UI. It is a bit of an inconvience, but really, all it means is you can't have accessories day 1. As soon as 10am hits you can order them to be delivered the next day.
Hope you all enjoy the update! As I said, updates will be coming in more rapidly now that I am finally settled.
Please get back to me on if you think these 40 accessories are enough or if you would like me to revamp and go back to the 150+ accessories. Please before making your decision just think about how crazy managing 150 accessories would be. You really can't take your eyes off of it to be sucessful.
I will gauge the response next week and have a new update with either the updated accessories or an update with indivual accessory stats / manual pricing adjustments for the way it is now, within a few days of the decision.
Thank you all!
