In version 0.15, the Space Corporation simulator has acquired a holistic and complete gameplay.
While previous updates were more technological in nature - construction, logistics and automation, the latest updates have brought a greater social component.
In addition to the previously added hygiene needs, various diseases and methods of their treatment, individual character traits of the staff have been added (affecting the behavior of the character and his interaction with colleagues), as well as ideologies on which the outcome of the elections in the colony and the laws that will apply in it depend.
Strong leaders are able to win over colleagues to their side and change the ideology in the colony and change the voting results next month.
If inexperienced employees are willing to work in spartan conditions, more experienced colleagues now need increased comfort conditions, which can be provided with more expensive furniture and more individual rooms.
Even more new features became available after research - augmentations to improve staff capabilities, robots - can do most of the work for humans and do not require food or comfortable conditions, and yes, it is now possible to create an entire colony of clones mining Helium-3 on the Moon =)
The financial model, salaries and bonuses of staff, as well as Loans from gaming nations as a way to get money quickly, which will need to be repaid with interest.
Completely redesigned game nations and contracts with them make the game more exciting and more unique and balanced each time.
Finally, the game now has a story mode that gives the player not only a goal, but also the opportunity to complete the game.
Development continues and I am switching to the development of the next version 0.16.
It will redesign the user interface and optimize performance.
I ask you to send me game saves with a large number of colonies and colonies for hundreds and thousands of colonists, in which performance problems are very noticeable - this will help me optimize the game.
Have a nice game, everyone!
