Novalex Project Zero is a car-company tycoon: design cars, build production lines and compete with rival companies. It launches on 5 November, and Version 1.4.0 is the final big update before launch. The free demo is live now. If you enjoy it, wishlist the full game to hear the moment it launches.
Why you made or lost money
The new profit bridge on the dashboard goes step by step from revenue to net result, so you can see which cost changed your result without opening a report. The key figures above it are now four large cells, each with a small trend chart, a Top rival or break-even mark, and a link to its report. A short line under net result names what changed it most.
Marketing previews your next turns before you commit: the net result of your changes, a projection for 1, 5 or 10 turns or the steady state, and how quickly new spending builds up. Every screen where you make decisions has its own reset button, so you can try something and return that screen to where the turn started.
Learn as you go
Screens you have not unlocked yet can still be opened. Each one explains what it does and what its building costs, with a button that takes you to Administration, where you build it.
Your first production line now comes with a three-step guide and placeholder slots that show what a line needs and what comes next.
