What's next?
First of, I want to thank you all, because you sent me a lot of suggestions about how to improve the console manufacturing and also how to improve the game overall.
Console manufacturing
The next update will be the v1.0.0, and I plan to implement the mod support for console manufacturing. You will be able to design your own console cases and import them thanks to mods. I think this is really important because you will be able to make your dream console.
Currently, it misses an end of life panel for custom platforms. I think it would be better to have a panel that shows some basic information like: unit sold, catalog size, refund rate... Also, I plan to add a notification to announce when a new component is available. Because currently you have to check from time to time to see if there is a new component.
Besides that, you will be able to hire an other studio while you are working on your console, so they are going to make games for your console. You will be able to spend 1 million for 2 games, 5 millions for 10 games or 50 millions for 100 games (I'm still balancing that part atm). So you will have a great catalog for your console when you release it.
Some of you requested the ability to see all the games that have been published on your console, and it is coming, I'm working on it right now. It is not hard to do, but it takes time to do.
Other improvements
I plan to work on other improvements, I don't want to spoil anyone, so I'm going to keep that part secret until its release.
That's all for today, I hope you will enjoy that tiny update
Regards
