Hello fellow CEOs,
Today we’d like to boost your spring fever by bringing you up to speed as to what we have been working on recently.
Good Company is in full bloom, we’ve added lots of nice features relating to visual assets and UI elements. New workplaces, environmental decoration and a new title screen, to mention only a few. Our audio design is also making good progress, with the soundtrack offering almost 20 tracks, and counting.
The biggest efforts go into the gameplay, however.
We have implemented the research system, which lets you sample components and yields science points. These science points can then be invested in unlocking various technological routes. At first, you start small and focus on the basics. Then, step-by-step, the research opens up more possibilities for fancy product designs, which will be a lot of fun in Good Company.
Speaking of which, in order to give more depth to what you can produce, we’ve defined a simple set of basic materials you have to buy. Anything else can be built out of these materials, so you don’t have to rely so much on external suppliers. From crafting screws or plastic cases leading to far more complex things, everything’s up to you and your company.
We have also refined the market in Good Company, giving you more control of analyzing its dynamics. Our new visualization system gives you a great overview of how the amounts, pricing and sale frequency correlate and influence market demand, so you can optimize your financial flow.
Furthermore, we have introduced new means of visual accessibility to the game, that makes item routes and employee assignments in production processes a lot easier to understand. Other than that, we are constantly streamlining our front- and backend, optimizing the balance of the game and busting bugs wherever possible, in order to make Good Company a stable and fun game to play.
That said, we’re still somewhat away from a version we can happily share with you for alpha testing. We want to give you the best possible experience, even in this early stage, and some things need to be improved for this. If you like to stay closely follow the development of Good Company, we invite you to join our Discord server or tune in to our dev streams on Twitch.
You can find all the ways to stay in touch with us here.
Feel free to drop us a line whenever you have questions, comments or suggestions.
All the best, your Chasing Carrots
