Hey there folks!
How are you guys doing?
It took a while, but the Update 0.76 is finally here! \o/
It took longer than I thought, however, in my defense, this is the biggest update so far. Lol.
This update includes 200+ new staff animations and a bunch of new mechanics for the game, like the staff promotion system.
Although olders saves should work just fine, I recomended that you start a new game, so you can enjoy the first steps with new staff classes. ^^
By the way, are you a native speaker of any language that isn't already in the game yet?
Want to help translate the game?
If you do, please reach me out at [email protected] ;)
I would love to see Evil Labs in your language :)
