I would've pushed alpha 9 officially by now, but I've seen a big increase in crashes lately, which I hadn't seen because the crash reporting system was broken up until now. I've updated Unity in hopes that this issue has been fixed, but it is currently out of my hands.

Alpha 9.9.2 fixes
- Bug when deleting chair and PC at the same time
- Potential fix for end of day crash on computers with specific graphics card drivers
- There were no cap on initial funding for subsidiaries
- Various other fixes
I've decided to hold out on the discount feature indefinitely and to delay controlling subsidiary releases until alpha 10. I've decided on this, as I want to get moving on alpha 10. Alpha 9 has already taken too long. Changing existing mechanics takes a lot longer than adding new ones and I've been anxious about the response to the gameplay changes introduced in alpha 9.
To make up for not getting discounts and subsidiary control in alpha 9, I've introduced the long awaited Undo button in build mode. When I'm positive the undo button is stable, I'll release alpha 9 officially and move on to alpha 10. In the meantime, the undo button will auto save every time it's clicked with a 5 second cool down, to make sure your game can be recovered.
