If you want to keep your save files, start switching to the old branch now, by right clicking Software Inc. in your Steam library.
This is a rushed release to get the Mac version out quicker. All save game breaking changes are done, so I can start working normally again, however the new features (stocks and deals) are nowhere near finished!
Changes:
- PARTIALLY implemented company deals (Still WIP)
- Added reception desk, receptionists and guests
- Completely overhauled stock system! Each company now has X stocks worth Y, the first stock is always owned by the company and worth whatever was in the bank account at launch (Still WIP)
- OS popularity now depends on the software released for it, increasingly as time goes on
- Fixed actor timer not going down fast enough on 3x speed causing a lot of complaints
- Completely overhauled how often simulated companies are created and how often they release new software, meaning ALL MODS WILL BREAK (Example here: http://coredumping.com/random/Games.xml )
