Hello! In this post I will talk about what's planned for the game in the foreseeable future.
#1 - The ability to license out your engines. This was something that I was planning on doing during development, but as I worked more and more on the game, I got sidetracked by other things and completely forgot to add this functionality.
#2 - A new Drive affector, "comfort", with decorational objects that contribute to it.
#3 - Tweaking the game's balance. There are certain things which are evidently in need of tweaking which I have overlooked during development. These include, but are not limited to: employee salaries, adjusting the rate of work when a lot of employees are within a team, adjusting the logic of the adaptive standard system, and various other tweaks.
#4 - General improvement and polish of the UI.
#5 - German localization.
These are the things you can expect to see in the foreseeable future. It goes without saying that bugs and crashes will also be attended to.
With that said, this concludes this progress update. As you may or may not know, aside from the update posts I make, I also upload new builds of the game with various bug and crash fixes very frequently. Most of these are not mentioned, since I don't think they warrant a separate community post each time, but I would like to list the crashes which have been fixed since "Update #7" was posted in this post:
- fixed a crash that occured sometimes when console expiration heads-up would strangely occur for no reason at the beginning of a new game
- fixed a crash that occured when loading a savefile with at least 1 employee not being assigned to a workplace and resuming time
- fixed console expiration heads-up events, which each platform has, not being cancelled when a platform manufacturer went bankrupt
- fixed a spam of platform release notifications into the event box when starting a new playthrough if specific consoles would get released at the starting year
- fixed an inevitable edge-case crash when loading in with no games booked for an expo in a booked convention, leading to an unplayable savefile
- adjusted the display of game to present selection in the convention booking menu
I would also like to thank the people that have reported the crashes which have been fixed after "Update #7".
Thank you for reading.
