Hello everyone!
We want to offer a continued thanks for all of the bug testing and feedback regarding the current build of the game. We are indeed quite focused on improving everything across the board. We are completely aware of most of the current issues and have prepared a list of the first changes that will be made and very soon.
This week: 12/26/2018 - 12/29/2018
- UI and gameplay - We completed understand and agree that the UI does not make playing the game easy and in fact is a large part of the frustration with the game at this point. This is currently our TOP priority. We are overhauling this now to make sure that the game is that much more easy to play and understand. Not only this, but we want it to make much more sense when playing. Some of the changes coming are the following
- Purchasing and placing items: Removing the requirement to buy furniture in one menu and then placing them from another. We will merge the two into one, so going forward, you will be able to purchase and place from the same UI window.
- Making more sense of product creation and employee management - Going forward, the flow of the windows for each of these processes will be much more streamlined and oriented in a way that will make it much easier to understand.
- Resolution Issues on smaller screens - We have found the issue and have already fixed the issue. We are now implementing it for all UI elements so that we can upload a patch to fix this. We expect to have this ready for this weeks patch.
- Saved Game furniture bug - We also are looking into the bug where furniture is spawned right in the middle of the map that you did not initially place when loading a saved game.
The above are the most pressing issues and we will start with these this week, with the expectation of being finished and uploading the patch by Sunday.
Next Week: 01/03/2019 - 01/05/2019
- Undo option for walls in Build mode - We will be adding the option to undo your last few actions when building walls for now, with the already existing goal of improving the build system. Right now it is rudimentary to a degree with only options to build 4x4 walls, and the inability to delete or undo wall creation. NOTE: the option IS available to delete windows and doors and we will improve the buttons to make it easier to notice.
Thanks for your patience as we work to fix bugs and add in content. The goal first of course is to stabilize the current gameplay and then we will start to test and add content in once ready.
