Hello Owners!
Here is our penultimate update before the end of the year! As we are almost complete features-wise, it is time to focus on content. In the past couple of months, we worked on the whole campaign and started to build up new levels. Coming with it, we added challenge modes to spice things up. We also returned to some previous features that weren’t up to it.
Challenge modes
Each level will come with two “challenge modes” that will be unlocked once the level is finished.
- “Speed mode”: reach your goal as quickly as possible
- “Growth mode”: keep going as long as possible until you reach the end conditions
Unions & negociations
Our most (beautiful) bird employees are now represented by a Union. Keep them happy or they will go on strike and you might lose big. We’re a French studio, so we had to add strikes to our game…
- Union satisfaction & strikes: all employees' satisfaction will impact the Union's satisfaction
- Negotiation: before things go out of hand and you end up with a strike, you can negotiate with the Union.
How to make sure your employees are happy? Well, we all love beautiful office decorations, heavy paychecks, and a lot of breaks… Well, just make sure your business is still profitable.
Pit bosses
Pit bosses made their grand comeback with the last update, but they were still missing some content. We added new orders and some dialogues for the small talk.
By engaging in small talk with them, you can increase their trust. You can give orders to the pit boss which will trigger a unique behavior. Pit Bosses can be upgraded via their skill tree.
