First things first: Learning Factory is on sale until May 1! Get your copy of the game, 34% off!
As promised in the latest edition of our developer diaries, this update brings a lot of changes in the visuals for many items on your Factories. Because most of the items now vary in quality and marking them with mere silver or gold stars would be plain boring, wouldn't it?
So now you can clearly distinguish those top-notch cat goods from boring regular ones. We hope that it will add some motivation for you to optimize your production and ensure your catstomers get only the best-looking items!
Naturally, that's not the only change. Check out the other awesome stuff in this awesome new version of the game:
