Hello! This update fixes a few bugs, mentions a couple of crashes fixed earlier today, improves job candidate search functionality, and adds the ability to loan out money.
- added the ability to loan out money:
* a maximum of $500K can be loaned out, in $50K steps
* an interest rate of 5% will be paid each month while the loan is active
* can be increased or decreased at any time
* accessible through the Finances menu
- fixed several crashes related to game conventions and employees that were booked for them/games going off-market which were booked for them on the same week
- fixed computers not taking into amount their base cost when selling
- fixed duplicate last role type being shown in the event box when job search listings for more than 2 roles expire on the same day
- fixed lamps playing their "switch on" sound when finishing loading a savefile
- fixed finished job listings not appearing when loading a snapshot savefile if they expired on the same day as the start of a new year
- when searching for job seekers, job offers will now queue up candidates that you can go through at any time or go through all available ones when the job listing ends
- when attempting to start a playthrough without having completed the tutorial, a confirmation popup will now appear
- renamed "Story mode" to "Tutorial", seeing as a lot of people go straight to playing the scenarios or freeplay, miss out on the tutorial, and then have no idea how the game works
- newly-purchased objects will now sell for 100% of it's price, instead of 95% (the selling price of objects still deteriorates the longer you own them for)
- no longer displaying the fund change element if the change in money was $0 in total
If you encounter any bugs or crashes, please report them here.
I would like to thank everyone that has reported bugs fixed in this update.
Please allow up to an hour for the game to update, alternatively you can restart Steam to instantly queue up an update for Game Dev Studio.
