👋 Hello again, Life Inc family!
We made it to version 0.2.0! I'm still working hard and listening to your suggestions. In this massive update, I completely redesigned how the game's economy works to make it fairer and more realistic, and I added new features to help new players get off to a great start.
⚠️ Update 0.2.0 is being uploaded to Steam right now and will be available in the next few hours.
🚀 Update 0.2.0
📉 New Progressive Taxes (More savings!)
No more paying a huge fixed percentage on all your earnings. I've implemented a new progressive bracket system: you now pay less on your initial income and the highest rate only applies to the surplus. Earn more and keep more!
To show you the huge difference, here are a couple of examples:
Example 1 (€110,000 Income):
- Old system: 35% of everything → €38,500 in taxes.
- New progressive system: First €20,000 at 10% → €2,000 Next €30,000 (20k–50k) at 15% → €4,500 Next €50,000 (50k–100k) at 25% → €12,500 Last €10,000 (100k–110k) at 35% → €3,500
- Total: €22,500 (Effective rate of 20.45% instead of 35%).
Example 2 (€250,000 Income):
- Old system: 45% of everything → €112,500 in taxes.
- New progressive system: First €20,000 at 10% → €2,000 Next €30,000 (20k–50k) at 15% → €4,500 Next €50,000 (50k–100k) at 25% → €12,500 Next €100,000 (100k–200k) at 35% → €35,000 Last €50,000 (200k–250k) at 45% → €22,500
- Total: €76,500 (Effective rate of 30.6% instead of 45%).
🎯 My Life Objectives (New Tutorial)
I have integrated a new list of objectives within the tutorial to guide your career. Overcome each milestone I've designed to unlock exclusive rewards and learn how to master your economy.
✨ Visual Improvements
I've redesigned the work tab and promotion modals so they are much clearer, modern, and easier to use.
